Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.

Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.

But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.

Wow 🍿I do feel for everyone who didn’t vote for this turd. As I am not aware much about what is happening in your country in detail (though some us citizens sometimes think this way) can anyone give any insight on how this is perceived by turd voters? Like are there any interesting interviews insight or articles ? Would love to know their view as this unfolds. Thanks for any insight 🙏

The brink? We’re already there, but the supply chain takes a few weeks to catch up. We are just now getting empty ports just like during covid. Empty ports now means empty shelves in a couple weeks. Empty shelves means prices skyrocket again. And layoffs start en mass when companies can’t get supplies that need workers to work on.

You know, right before lockdown I was hanging out with a friend and I said something to the effect of ‘eh, I do feel like people are overreacting a bit but at least this should normalize mask wearing when you’re sick like in parts of Asia.’

Right now I have a very similar feeling hunch of ‘at least this should kill the myth that republican presidents are better for the economy’ and I can’t wait for the american people to once again show me just how stupid they are.

I think every single Republican president has been terrible for the economy and consistently show to know nothing about the economy in contrast to the Dems who inherit the mess. Trump is going a number on the national debt alone.
