Chiming in from Canada here, sorry for what's happening to you folks. And if they go ahead with tariffs your lives are going to get more expensive as well. Honestly wishing you the best.
Also sorry, but Canadian consumers will now consciously avoid products that are made in the USA. We have many other trade partners and will continue to buy their products as well as anything made in Canada. It isn’t personal, but you did vote him in AGAIN🙄
Sorry, I realize and appreciate how frustrating it must feel, that so many of your fellow Americans voted for him again. But the rest of the world didn’t even get a vote and yet incurs the wrath of this elected FOTUS.
Why would Americans vote for this again if they didn’t want the chaos and cruelty?
"why" is question of the yr so many Americans voted for this monster again likely much to do w/poison from right wing media disinformation takeover-trumpers that I know are completely brain washed-like zombie level rabid brain washed just saying that at least 1/2 of us are still in the fight
What is it that this FOTUS has done that has ever improved America?
He is disruptive and unconventional, which are not bad qualities, but it is the cruelty, ignorance and continuous grifting off of the American taxpayer, along with playing victim on the world stage, that makes him an unfit leader.
Ok, not sure of the election details, but I guess enough of you voted for him again.
It is going to be a long four years. See if you can do something about FOTUS in a couple of years.
I don't think we did though people were scared for their own rights.
There are 'red' states who elected blue governor and blue policies... Nope sorry yes some people voted for it, but record turn out with less voters than last election? Nope that's wrong it was rigged.
The orange idiot’s “Project 2025” game plan is to marshal all federal dollars that he can, by closing down these agencies……so he can pay for his billionaire douche bag’s TAX CUTS.
I think an underestimated & reported aspect of Trump’s rescinding the order to freeze federal aid spending is the noise he heard from Republicans. That’s what caused the change and that’s the key, pain in Republican areas.
The vision of dismantling the “deep state” in full swing. I will never forgive the 2/3 of voters that voted for him or sat at out the election. They fucked ALL of us!
Agree. There are many reasons that led us here, but when my rage peaks, I keep going back to the fact that he should have lost by large margins given his wholesale unfitness and all of his flaws being clearly known by everybody.
Agree, but part is also legacy media that failed (probably on purpose) & normalized the insane Nazi crook, scotus that made up law out of whole cloth, so when you have ignorant voters they can’t see the problem. Don’t get me wrong, I hate magats, but plenty of corrupt people created the conditions.
And most important: Musk manipulated the election in the swing states, many voters reported a flip in their selection Trump even mentioned Musk in his speech, thanking him for changing the votes. This is real! They lied and cheated. Let that sink in.
When people claim to be against the deep state I ask which one. The one that Ceasar declared he needed all power to clean it out. Or The ones that Hitler, Mussilini, Stalen, or Napoleon claimed.
I think we’re just demoralized. We did march after Trump was elected. It didn’t do anything. But yes Americans are weak and live decadent lives. Wait until govt services completely shut down. Wait until people miss a few meals. Then we’ll see what happens.
We're also exploited to the bone and have no money in savings by and large. Taking time off work might mean losing your home which you rent because there's 15 million unoccupied houses in America.
It is wild and completely unacceptable- since we pay for all of these government agencies. The officials in the these agencies are responsible for keeping their agreements to the public, making a seamless transition, and continuing to provide services, we the people, pay for.
ISSUING " ILLEGAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS "
CONgress and Senate know better...why is it being allowed ? APARTHEID CLYDE MUSK NOW HAS FEDERAL POWERS AS A CIVILIAN ?
Wasn’t it just 48 hours ago all Trump’s choir were saying how we needed to gut the 2M federal workers- Trump said many have other jobs? And then we have the accident- and Trump says the air traffic controllers are geniuses - I guess we need to keep a few.
Tears are welling in my eyes and I can't get myself to cry them out. It's annoying. I'd like to cry, get a stuffy nose, take a shower, go to bed and do another day.
I fear immensely for my family and neighbors here in rural Wisconsin. Our county was “blue” but we are surrounded by people who don’t understand that they voted against their own lives.
They will feel it soon and then they will wake up. Some of my family are rabid Trumpers and not people of means...completely brainwashed. I cannot get through. They're about to get a very rude awakening.
exactly. so many voted against there own best interests. the fools don’t even know ACA is obamacare. I had one tell me they need to kill obamacare and I said but aren’t you on it and they said no they had coverage under the affordable care act 🤦♀️
The idiots are about to find out they actually need the govt they hate. It’ll be a real shock for them that they actually got more back from the govt than they paid in.
I just hate that my son will suffer for their idiocy. He was dx’ed with schizophrenia at 11. He can’t be on my insurance because he’s over 26. But without Medicaid, he will be floridly psychotic.
I’m so very sorry. So very sorry. This is just the worst! Let’s just pray it all tanks quickly and they impeach him or pressure forces him into reversing course. I know this is probably not feasible but getting him into a blue state could help.
First create chaos, then create blocked access to needed services. Then eventually we are going to go to the government shut down and military takeover.
THIS is what I say every time someone pulls that Reagan rugged individual crap. Then I tell them there's nothing wrong with expecting services & programming in return for our taxes and to think otherwise is to be a willing victim to pickpockets.
They likely won't renew it yet if you still have four years on it, unless there are major changes involved. Usually about 6 months to a year out is sufficient.
Specifics, please. Are fed employees falling for the email? Two of my clients husband and wife work for DoD/FDA respectively for over 20 years, I saw them just today working from home, but they def seemed in strange moods. Another client (fed actuary) wasn’t home yesterday-called back to DC office
They are claiming they had to end remote work because no one is helping the public and there are backlogs. How will firing people help with the backlogs?
Sadly most don’t care until they are personally affected. This short sightedness is what got us into this nightmare. We will all need these services at some point and by then it will be too late.
I wish I could personally thank the wonderful people who took passport renewal & initial application requests so seriously over the past few months. I got both my renewal & a first time passport for my son in 3 weeks turnaround time.

Wonder how long, if ever, it will take to re-earn any international respect or trust?
Trump is too stupid to think of this on his own. This is the P25 architects and the oligarchs using him as a useful puppet to dismantle Democracy
We the People and all
Democrats Must
Call out the Lies
Never give in
Never give up

It's time to take back the $35 Trillion of debt that the Trickle-Down Socialist Oligarchs have stolen from America.
We’re waiting.

I root for you all, but come on please take serious action and be the shining city on the hill, once again!
Love your friend from across the pond!
I didn't know that Elon—an #afrikaaner —was even entitled to take my benefits, but I guess he needs them more than I do.

Why can't I cry? I'm extra extra sad/mad.
It’s insane.
BRIBERY is BRIBERY
and BRIBERY is Constitutional grounds for impeachment.
Truly despicable.
(I am not actually advocating this, although the ineptitude does make me wonder what the point is.)
