First term: death.
Second term: depression (economic and personal).
Third term? What’s left? Locusts? Frogs?
You’re not running for president, you’re summoning plagues.
Every day, I call Ron Johnson's office in DC at 202-224-5323. I encourage you to call Ron often to vent your anger at him for being too weak to stand up to Trump.
Ron never "made it" on his own, you know. He was a machinist in a factory who married the boss's daughter and inherited ALL his wealth.
I hate this lie. Donald repeats it so often and media doesn’t call him on it bc he just blathers. He had ONE legislative achievement in 4 years and it was the tax cuts. He did nothing else but ride the coat tails of Obama.

Trump causes largest 3 day loss in History!
$10 Trillion?
Or will we hit a full 20% loss day closed for trading by Noon?
17 hours until open! Woo hoo
Yep…don’t listen to your constituents that are losing their life savings. Hang on to the policies of someone who couldn’t care less about you or them. Sounds like a SUPER plan!
He did not produce the best economy in history during his first term. Republicans, I beg you to look at the facts. Look at what he did to the deficit ( with your help of course) but now is not the time to blame yourselves for past mistakes. You have a duty to your Country, & to the American people.
And that in a nutshell is the whole problem. Apparent serious people trusting Trump’s “instinct” - not his well-thought out plan, not his experience in macro economics - he’s barely read a book so his decisions are based on “instinct”.
And his lackeys are too interested in their careers to speak out
The economy didn’t hit any exceptional marks 2017-201.9. There was a manufacturing recess before COVID and Trump left office with the most job losses since Hoover.
Even if you take COVID out of Trump 1, his economy was pretty shitty and his policies were set to make it worse. Then his 'instincts' in handling COVID were so fucked up he made a worse situation even worse.
I’m sorry which alternative timeline did he do such a thing? 🤔
I don’t seem to recall any such thing during the first time
Even before the pandemic he was mediocre - he didn’t destroy the prior administration momentum (like he has done now) which meant the economy continued to grow at same rate
just looked at the senate map for 2026 and still impossible for democrats, even with this. the house, sure. big whoop, considering the damage being done
Even if republicans lost elections for the rest of my life, I don’t know if it’d be enough to repair the damage being inflicted on us at breakneck speed
Speaker Johnson is a lickspittle that couldn't govern if his life depended on it .... Just another in a long line of Republican followers not smart enough to stand on their own merits.....
He had his head up some horse’s ass during Trump’s first term, while Trump was busy wrecking an economy that was saved by Obama, from another stupid fucking Republican President! Republicans keep bringing this country to its knees, and Democrats keep cleaning up their disastrous policies! Fact!
He inherited a good economy just like this time, only that time he rode it instead of instantly killing it. Even with that by autumn of 2019 they were already predicting a recession, and that was before covid came and accelerated it.
Trump stayed out of the way of Obama's economy and would have coasted to reelection in 2020 if he hadn't shat the bed with his Covid response.
To say that that shows instinct is reimagining that he had minders who pushed back on his bullshit in his first term.
Yes. We should definitely trust the guy who bankrupted a casino and has 34 felony financial fraud convictions to understand complex global macroeconomics.
And what is frustrating is media folks allowing Republicans to say Trump had the best economy and that going unchallenged. Lutnick’s performance today was just horrid
"In the world?" What world?! I don't ever remember being in a world where the fElon gave us the best of anything, other than raking highest in Covid deaths.
Everyone always assumed that Trump recognized & responded rationally to reality. Surely his need for attention & praise would keep him from a path that imperiled his political standing. Now? His feral instinct for survival cannot attain the velocity needed to escape the blackhole of his insanity.
Should be extremely obviously to the morons he was coasting on Obama’s policies and credibility the first term
United States isn’t a family business— they should have reams of data and simulations explaining their plan to Congress. Voters need to be demanding trump step down given absence of this
To me, the worst part of Moses Mike is his holier-than-thou religious stance—and then looking right into the camera and lying his butt off. There is something more sinister than mere mendacity lurking behind that man’s eyes. It’s evil incarnate, IMO.
He got the ball rolling on the inflation with the 2017 tax cuts, then really fucked up the COVID response by treating it like a hoax and politicizing it.
And that was with the "adults in the room" who kept him from doing the damage he wanted.
This time there are no adults, and this is the result.
Tariffs are OKAY if USA Govt saving $6 Trillion as per Trump Admin that $6 Trillion MUST MUST MUST be distributed to USA Citizens it belongs to them otherwise this huge money will be stolen by politicians and scandals.
When Donnie was president unemployment spiked to 14.8 percent because of his mishandling of Covid. Is he trying to top that number with his tariffs? He doesn’t know what the hell he is doing and it shows.
Oh so Speaker Johnson thinks we should trust Trump’s instincts does he? How did those instincts work out when he went bankrupt 6 times and left workers holding the bag? How did that trust pay off the the people that were scammed by Trump Univ? Does he care to explain?

The party's biggest donors are going to be melting down phones on Capitol Hill Republicans after the markets close Monday afternoon.

Control of risk is part of the economy.

Obama left him a good economy and he rode that until Covid mistakes.
Just instinct.
Hell of a way to ruin a country.
And his lackeys are too interested in their careers to speak out
The fuck is he talking about?
I don’t seem to recall any such thing during the first time

and, I assume, relying on a population affected by covid induced memory issues.
Biden had 800.
Fun fact: the tax cut DID NOT PAY FOR ITSELF
2nd fun fact: Late 50's/early 60's US produced 40% of the world's GDP
Being a leader during a boom is no great achievement and being a leader in a downturn is no great failing.
What is remarkable is fully upending a half century old trade system.
When was this?
That culty level of loyalism is bonkers.
We've had multiple coup attempts from fascists since '33. This attempt is their swan song.
They don't want a healthy economy. They want to own slaves.
WE WERE SLIDING TOWARDS A RECESSION BEFORE COVID.
THEN HE THREW GAS ON THE COVID FIRE.
President Biden saved our economy and it was the envy of the world. Until 3 months ago.
Never mind. Guess that’s a rhetorical question.
besides, they're willing to hurt a little to deliver that oh so sweet 'Gotchya Libtard' feeling
This is beyond cake and eating it too. 🎂
To say that that shows instinct is reimagining that he had minders who pushed back on his bullshit in his first term.
Donald Trump, 7.8 Trillion.
Joe Biden, 2.8 Trillion.
(Obama, 8.59 Trillion. When he took office, the U.S. was in the midst of a severe economic downturn, the worst since the Great Depression.)
Pandemic spending, pandemic no excuse.
Republicans 👇🏻
LOL. Suuure,
This MIGHT be the solution...
Speaker Johnson-you up?
Such cowards
2. A good economy does not happen by force of will. It happens by good decisions, and luck.
3. Johnson is a tool, and will go down as the weakest speakers in history.
A charlatan running OUR house!!
Lol
Wtf
United States isn’t a family business— they should have reams of data and simulations explaining their plan to Congress. Voters need to be demanding trump step down given absence of this
Johnson: Remember, our Lord and savior Donald Trump works in mysterious ways
And that was with the "adults in the room" who kept him from doing the damage he wanted.
This time there are no adults, and this is the result.
And forcing their kids to take the cyanide.
And locking civilians in a subway station and flooding it.
He can’t be serious
