I mean anyone who took the incoherent ramblings of Trump as anything of value at this point brought it on themselves.
And everyone else.
The saddest thing is, a lot of those who voted for Trump did think his incoherent ramblings were harmless. How many people went shocked Pikachu face when they learned Trump actually put in tariffs? Or that heard his "dictator for a day" comments and brushed it off?
Somehow, a lot of people 1) heard Trump's ramblings, 2) assumed he was lying, and 3) they still voted for him, even while believing he was full of shit.
I know it's probably not you. But I don't understand how people can even step over 2. Who wants a president that lies more often than speaks the truth? Even if you think the lies are harmless, how would you ever trust such president? The reasoning doesn't add up, because I don't think reasoning was involved. Voting for far right is usually an emotional choice, not a logical one.
You're absolutely right. How anyone can accept he's a liar and still believe him is baffling to me, as well.
I'm just glad I picked this username.
Yeah, but Joe Biden had a raspy voice and Kamala laughed weird, so it could have been worse.
In fairness, the real problem is that they maintained that everything is fine, actually the economy is fine from my numbers, now everyone remember not to vote for the insurrectionist felon we did nothing about for 4 years
They could not be more half assed and milquetoast. They were so busy trying not to make any enemies that they totally failed to meet the moment
Yeah thats not why people didn't vote for them. What a silly idea
Still waiting for the $5000 promised to me in February so I can invest it all in crypto and be a billionaire by the summer, any day now…
If we can up inflation enough....
Would this be the MAGA come to Jesus moment we have all been waiting for?
Maybe, some people still think Donnie is playing 4d chess. 🤣
MAGA and Jesus are not on speaking terms.
Didnt the pope order people to escort immigrants against attacks also?
Pfff I stopped waiting. We have already seen that they will ignore logic and the evidence of their own eyes to imagine that they are winning even as the guillotine begins to slice through their neck.
MAHA?
Make America Heterosexual Again?
Hateful?
Hedonistic?
Hupercalifragilisticexpialidocious?
I think it's Make America Healthy Again. I seem to remember brain worm talking about that when he joined up.
Actually nerd noises it's,
Make America "healthy™®©" again
Healthy makes sense, thanks!
To be fair, they are actually banning dyes in food. That only took decades.
I did notice that. So many announcements about companies phasing them out.
Um, Trump also reported how he was going to start rounding up the undesirables, and something tells me this informed more Trump voters than egg prices.
TBF, the Democratic Party is the neoliberal status quo party, and a lot of people aren't having that. And the only alternative is King Heron / the far right party who starts genocide.
Also TBF, the far right has a trillion-dollar propaganda machine working over time to control people's minds, so we can expect a lot of people to vote for candidates who would campaign on letting them starve / hunting them down for execution / giving the whole US general fund to billionaires.
We're going to need a new system entirely to fix both of these problems. It's going to be messy.
“I’m going to burn the country down”
But Trump's corrupt family is richer....so fair trade.
Don’t forget Civil War II
Lol no
Don't forget they're trying to take fluoride out of the water.
Trying?
At least the memes were good
....meh
Actually of all of those promises I believe inflation is holding steady and pretty low around 2.6% through Trump's term so far. But it's a trend that's been going since July 2024, so pretty much just a continuation of the prior state of the economy?
Either way its surprising given all the fluctuations and instability of the markets with Trump's tarrif threats / inceptions / backdowns - I dunno, I'm not a market guy but the market guys in media don't seem to have an explanation.
I'd guess that steady rate too will also fly out the window if the US declares ~~war~~ special military operation on Iran, so give him time I'm sure he'll mess this up too.
Inflation takes a while. Shocks that affect consumer confidence can actually increase spending temporarily. What's happening in the US right now is that people are spending more in order to get in all their long term purchases (car, tv, phone, computer, kids toys) before some combination of inflation and tariffs push the prices up. But this will only last as long as people's excess of spending money lasts. Then consumer purchasing will, if nothing changes, recede massively.
We are not on the verge of WW3. Neither Russia nor China is going to rush to the defence of Iran.
“promised”
But I thought the Russian-Ukrainian war was supposed to start ww3 like years ago.
Any war that involves NATO (proxy wars included, ofc) could possibly escalate into WW3 nowadays because regional powers have gained greater power to fight back. Maybe that's why the fears today are a bit more warranted? Idk.
Promised by who? Trump? You voted for him? 🫨
Probably not? That's just one of his campaign promises?
