God forbid voters voice their concerns and hold elected officials accountable to the promises made on the campaign trails

I am happy Trump is president, he has accomplished a lot of good things. It would be way worse with Kamala.

That said, it’s been a disappointing few weeks lately and there is room for improvement. And Trump has in the past shown a willingness to listen to his base when they are upset. After the recent arse kicking the GOP received in the elections, it should be a wake up call to Trump and Republicans and the voters are making that point to them. We do not want Dems back in power, it’s time to deliver on the domestic issues particularly the economy.

This isn’t going to be a popular take but here goes. I run a small software development company. Up until about 5 years ago I had all state side developers. The younger developer generation is very entitled, lacks work ethic and demands high salaries. We moved to offshore. I can hire 3 offshore developers for 1 state side and get better employees. They almost never complain, don’t miss much work and get their shite done on time.

There’s no doubt all jobs out there can’t be filled with Americans right now. We have cultural issues that need fixing. You have to cut back welfare to force people to find jobs first, then it takes years for them to learn actual skills. Then those people have to encourage their kids to do well in school and work hard so they don’t have to work at McDonald’s. It’s a decades long fix to redevelop a more skilled workforce.

But Trump was insulting in his response and it won’t play well. He should have framed as H1Bs should only be used to fill gaps when no skilled Americans are available and that we need to focus on training more Americans for these positions to reduce the need for foreign labor

Trump continues to dig his hole deeper


He has lost touch with his base and keeps doubling down on stupid. We are all just about done with him

I don’t expect midterms to be kind to the GOP

All it means is you pay less per month,” Trump said on a Fox News show hosted by Lara Ingraham. “Pay it over a longer period of time. It’s not like a big factor. It might help a little bit.”

Yikes. I see why so many of his businesses went bankrupt

Yup. Trump is all in on the globalist/WEF agenda it seems

It’s insanity. It’s cloaked as a way to help people afford things but that’s not the real reason. The real reason is the 38 trillion in debt that we cannot afford. It’s not politically popular or feasible to cut the amount of spending needed to balance the budget or even reduce the deficit significantly enough to matter.

The only way this house of cards stays propped up is for US GDP growth to be maintained and the debt to GDP ratio acceptable enough that we remain the world reserve currency and there’s enough faith in the USD that people keep buying treasury bonds.

Now fast forward to this policy. Americans have been squeezed of wealth and disposable income post COVID due to inflation and we are on the brink of recession and with high interest rates and the possibility of stagflation looming a recession with 38T in debt means a potential catastrophic financial collapse. So we extend the terms on new mortgages and loans to encourage Americans to keep consuming so we avoid the recession. For now. That’s why we are raising tax revenue from tariffs and giving 2,000 dollar tariff dividends to Americans. Simultaneously encouraging manufacturers to relocate here while giving Americans disposable income to spur the economy.

It’s literally all a last ditch Hail Mary. I’m not sure it will work but I don’t think it’s stupid of Trump to try it. The mass civil unrest that cutting 2 trillion of spending is the same as the unrest that will come if there’s a financial collapse and it’s all forced to be cut anyways.

The reality is we can’t escape the storm that’s coming. It’s just a matter of how long can we outrun it until the car runs out of gas
