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.
And just think, there were those out there that doubted he would get anything done. /s
Zero grocery, zero price. You cannot complain about avocado prices if there was no avocado imported, eh?
Sure, but have you considered that Kamala had a weird laugh
This is such a stupid argument and I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for my dad. He keeps talking about her laugh and I explain to him that it’s appropriate to express all emotions…. And he doesn’t believe it. He’s also unable to connect me being in therapy and his behavior.
I guess we have the same father even though I don’t live anywhere near the US.
The statistics of who stayed home VS who voted for a white man with the same policies (older white men/women and older hispanic men) shows most of the votes lost are from Kamala being a colored woman and our most bigoted groups responding accordingly.
100%. A woman of color? No way.
This is why AOC can’t run for president. We would just be stuck with Trump 3.0 or some Republican poser.
I think AOC could win since she’s young and when younger generations do vote it’s for younger progressive people.
But it also requires them actually communicating policies that will get young people to go vote.
Except young people (or all people) need to go vote in primaries for those they want.
You can’t just wait for your perfect person to show up magically. Ie. Policies reflect people who vote, not the other way around.
Yeah and unfortunately we are at a point where even if she does run and win in 2028 the conservative majority SCOTUS wouldn’t let any of her laws stick around.
Also, those dumbass’s who think a woman can’t be president.
I mean Biden was personally killing Palestinians so let’s all make sure Trump does worse too so checkmate lIbRuL. Ps I’m morally superior because I think my self righteous social media posts matter way more than the outcome I cause with my actions. And if you disagree? Well, you love genocide! /s
Well you see the genocide was always going to happen. That is why we needed to oppose the Democrats.
Also did you know NATO were actually the real Nazis all along?
/s
Schodinger’s cat applies here. We will never know how good or bad Kamala would have been since she didn’t win. However, since 47 has done so much shit to damage the country in ways worse than imagined, I’d say she’d done better.
BTW, have you ever heard Trump laughing at anything? That’s even weirder IMO.

Bankrupted a casino after his better half left. His ex wife. Consider it like his last admin. He had smart people corralling him. Now he just has yes men.
What they show us are the yes clowns. The concern needs to be the project 2025 people in the 2nd level positions implementing their agenda
The brink? lol we’ve gone off the cliff and are in free-fall
You ever see those cartoons where a samurai charges past someone, nothing happens, the person laughs, and then slowly splits in half?
The US economy is currently in the “nothing happens / laughing” phase.
Hyuck hyuck hyuck
Looking wistfully behind me at the “brink” of crisis
Trump’s promise? I don’t remember him promising much anything at all until the very tail end of the campaign, and even then it was kinda offhand. OTOH, the troll farms were in absolute overdrive talking about eggs, groceries, worthless higher education, gas prices (even though they are higher now) and of course bashing Harris over tons of things that weren’t even jobs she had the authority to do.
Every speech was full of promises to. Whoever he was speaking, even when the next speech completely promised the oppisite
All to plan
Give the Orange Asswipe a break, the idiot is following his orders from the Kremlin and he is doing a fan-fucking-tastic job of destroying the US economy and foreign relations.
Let your local magats know how you feel since this is what they wanted. The business owner ones even made it easy to figure out who they are over on their Nazi safe space at public square
AIPAC, the self styled King makers of US politics, dont care who you vote for as they all support israel. It’s business as usual as far as they’re concerned.
Trump did not do that, America did. I only say this as no one seems to be doing anything tangible to stop this miscreant.
“(gets shot) the shooter didn’t do this, I did it to myself by not stopping it”
(gets hit by drunk driver) the driver didn’t do this, I did this by not supporting prohibition
When you manipulate the market and increase tariffs to every country… it didn’t take a country to do that. It took a fool and his moron Admin and Republican Congress to fuck shit up.
While yes, he won the popular and electoral vote, he is still the one carrying out these idiotic and dangerous policies. No one wants a bloody revolution in the streets, the majority of people are just trying to survive.
Congress could easily deal with this dictator, but the GOP are fully complicit and have zero desire to do anything to stop him. We’ve all seen the numerous townhalls of GOP reps getting torn apart over this insanity, and yet they truly do not care.
I think many Americans are still kind of shell shocked by everything. Hell, I’m still in disbelief that he even won to begin with. My disgust towards those who voted yet again for this criminal makes me not even want to fight for them.
Victim blaming is always a totally defensible and cool thing to do
And what exactly do you propose we do?
I’m not sure what you mean by “we” in this new age of strident nationalism and creeping isolationism. I don’t even know generally what should be done, let alone exactly. It has to do with money, power, greed, human nature…all that shit and more I assume. I guess I will do one thing today that I have control over. I’m Canadian and I will vote today.
