and companies lining up to lay off even more employees in early 2026, I think we've seen enough of trump's economic policies.

The funny thing is he may get bailed out again by SCOTUS by finding his tariffs illegal.

He’s too busy stealing and destroying. We’re all fucked while he’s making off like a bandit.

They just all feel like shit.

Let me help him. They won’t.

Rolling back tariffs to help economy proves how bad they were in the first place. Duh duh.

All this pain is the impact.

The “Trump said this” obsession is the root of the problem,

Starve propagandists of FREE media coverage/amplification.

It isn’t education/information, it’s noise.

If you can’t starve the mouthpiece, starve the stomach of the beast—boycott sponsors of MAGA.

He still doesn't understand economics, that tariffs cost the consumer.

I think they want to stop the mid terms by destabilizing the country. So they can grift AND deport as many people as they can.

The impact of his stupid policies is being felt by millions of people and it will only get worse as ACA subsidies expire and people have to choose whether to pay the rent or mortgage or buy health insurance.

High rent/mortgage, out of sight heath insurance costs, food prices rising by an average of 15%, not to mention local taxes going up to fund federal funding deficits, and the lowest priced of cars crossing the 50,000 mark. Who in the hell can afford to live? Answer: the 1%

At least, that's the concept of our plan.

Every time he asked him when he thought this or that job would be done, it was always "two weeks."

"You sound like a parakeet!"

They're not policies. They're the ramblings of a delusional old man suffering the onset of Alzheimers. May he die quickly.

' "I think by the time we have to talk about the election, which is in another few months, I think our prices are in good shape," Trump said in the interview."

Of course he will deny saying this and blame Biden.

I will bet the farm on this..

It's all due to the high price of dolls and pencils don't you know. So he took off their 50% tariffs.

Let's face it, it's his Alzheimer's riddle mind's way of expressing, "get use to living on less, a lot less". For the good of steal corporations and the filthy-rich, the middle class and poor will just have to make do with less.... it's the American way. Yeah, capitalism.

But there are a lot of dumb people out there, and a lot of cultists. Between the 2 of them that's more than 50% of the electorate, my guess.

"I think by the time we have to talk about the election, which is in another few months, I think our prices are in good shape," he said in the interview.

But he has famously said "affordability" is a hoax perpetrated by Democrats.

If "affordability" is a hoax, why are prices not already "in good shape"?

I wonder if the WSJ reporter asked him if he was lying to us when he said that?

The headline should read: "Trump admits lying about affordability being a Democratic hoax."

then there will be a mass exodus of repukes from the house and maybe one or two from the senate.

hopefully the Dems, who would be then in control can save the nation from a true death spiral.

"I think we will be in good shape." (As soon as I steal every damn dollar I can find)
Yeah Donnie, things will be okey dokey ...or two weeks from now...or when I hit the Power Ball Lottery 3 times in a row.

to be felt. It's not going to get better - it's going to get worse.

what a moran

Just like health care. And infrastructure.

Don't be conned again!

They are being felt in time for the midterms. Just look at the charts. They are speaking very loudly already.

Not that I wish hard times on anyone, but the policies are what they are, and they are bad, and the more people realize that as midterms approach, the better.

living from SS check to SS check, and each month it costs more to try to live. It's not just the tariffs on food, etc... although my grocery bill went up from $200 to $250 this past week (and no, I bought basically the same as always, just let a few things I usually buy slide this time around).

But Insurance on House and Car... state property taxes. Everything is maxing out, and killing us.

This month, I had a little over $2000 in SS checks.
House insurance was around $1400+
Car insurance (2 cars) was $500+
Property taxes were over $1500 /six months
About $1200 in medical expenses that my MA didn't pay for hubby's previous hospitalization in Oct.

We're living more and more on using the credit card to get us by for food and necessities. And I hate it. I try to pay them off each month they come in, but what I went through this month, I'll be MONTHS trying to pay it all down and out. And, it has to be done before February, because insurance for the cars comes due 3 Feb. And then we get to hang on until May, when house insurance, cars, and property taxes hit again.

Things is, hubby and I both have chronic conditions. I'm trying to maintain NOT going to docs or specialists (and adding on other meds), by living month to month on my hydrocodone script. Which, if they use AI in healthcare, scares me to death.

Meanwhile, hubby is worse with heart attacks. He HAS to go to the hospital. But we have NO hospital in this little rural town, so we have to travel 45 miles to get to the nearest one. That means, calling EMS so they can transport him. It's all a racket!

Fuck's sake. I know it's WSJ, but they're usually not this obvious with their bullshit in the news division.

Nothing behind the facades. All an illusion. That's why the fatso wants to build a triumphal arch in addition to the shitty ballroom. 🤢🤮
