Sorry yall. There's just literally no plan that could ever exist or be executed to improve America's economy without destroying it first. It's simply completely necessary.
I hate to say it, but a large chunk of the MAGA world won't believe the tariff impact until they see their shopping bills go up. Until then, they will cry about the libs not understanding how genius the orange man is.
MAGA voters won’t get it until they are out on the street homeless. Even then, their 3 excuses will be to blame Biden, Hilary, and Obama. Right wing media is like rubbing the genies lamp for them. Full of excuses.
100%. The only teacher they will accept is financial collapse. We saw from COVID deniers dying of COVID in ICU that even death is sometimes not enough to make them say the three most painful words to them: “I was wrong.”
Yup. They were on their death beds getting worse, thinking 'Just a little bit longer, just another day and I'll start getting over this. Those vaccines are dangerous'
In the U.S. , local food is likely to be produced using inputs that are tariffed. Additionally, immigration is reducing available farm labour, making food more expensive.
I think the strategy is to intentionally crash America in order to restructure us into a forced Christian nation where our institutions, wealth, and resources are privatized and sold to the highest bidders. Our Constitutional democratic-republic is a nuisance to these fascist Nazi fucks.
Yup. It's a pump-and-dump strategy. Sell off stock value, then cause a recession. Then when things are down, buy as much as you can, and fix the problem to make stocks recover.
And the rich LOVE a recession. It's a fire sale; everyone is selling property for cheap, and they can just buy it all up
Nothing makes sense economically:
A 1 DAY EVENT vs these benefits:
331 MILLION people visited National Parks last year.
1,000 National Park Employees were fired, “saving” $61million.
In 2024 the US NATL PARKS GENERATED $55.6 BILLION in income,far exceeding the $3.475 billion in taxpayer funding.
They want a recession with millions of unemployed so they can then setup an industrial system based on exploitive wages like we had 100+ years ago because people are desperate: hungry, homeless, ill from preventable diseases and toxic chemicals, and in debt for medical costs.
The last 2 qts of the Biden Admin the fed dropped interest rates . They refused it for Trumps First qt. There have been numerous layoffs across the country not including all of the firings of gov employees yet they are claiming 177,000 new jobs for first qt. They fired those who mng & report that.
Since most govt employees affected are still on admin leave, and many will be until September and December, the numbers don't even reflect those losses yet.
It depends on their goal if their goal is to bankrupt the economy so they can justify cutting all entitlements they are spot on. It doesn't seem they care about the 2026 election so they must think by then they have total control and no elections.
There’s no economic strategy. No one thought this through. They just came up with a stupid tariff board with crazy numbers. They thought every country would quickly capitulate. Now they have backtracked and started making excuses.
He is putting hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work in the hopes that he can create a few thousand manufacturing jobs that will probably be filled by robots anyway.
President Trump — when asked if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution on "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker" — said, "I don't know," Why does this guy hold this office? Didn’t he swear he would? In a bible non the less
Agreed. Prioritizing people over profit is the only sustainable path forward. How can we ensure economic policies uplift everyone, not just the wealthy few?
And how many Americans are saying, "Well, DJT is a genius." They are completely unaware that he just raised taxes on the middle class and poor through his tariffs and is giving the money to himself and his wealthy friends and contributors. Americans are very, very stupid.
Trump doesn’t crash the economy on purpose..
He's trying to fix something that's not broken (in fact, it was doing great during Biden's administration), and THAT will do the "job". Incompetence isn’t a strategy, but it sure as hell has consequences.
They're bungling idiots. When people feel the effects of Republican robbery in their personal lives; when the availability and affordability of goods drops off sharply, the party should remember they have city and county officials, and state representatives, who are accessible and will be blamed.
Trump is changing the world by being such a vile pos. It may take a decade or two but I believe the slow slide into idiocracy will end because of Trump.
Trumps plans would work if he had 8 years. Because industries in USA need 3 to 4 years to build. 2 to 3 years for AI to learn. Even then there would not be enough jobs due to work being done by AI, automation.
Seems self-evident. Plain. A direct truth. Easy concept. Neurons would have to be severely atrophied not to see it…oh…er…yeah, that’s right. He has dementia.
But will it? Are we all just following the economic teachings which have worked in the past? In times when China had *Five Year Plans* when Russia was recovering from WW2 and building its arsenal. When India was recovering from partition? Is there a new economics which the White House is initiating?
The Guardian's End Times Fascism reveals how far-right elites, from Trump to Musk, embrace survivalist authoritarianism—privatizing escape, eroding democracy, and making peace with mass death.
Only solidarity, empathy, and collective resilience can defy their treason.
Drive it into a recession while constantly blaming it on the previous administration to prime the idiots, then hope you can reverse it just enough right before the next election. I am fairly certain that if there is any “plan”, that is it.
It is beyond comprehension why one single person in this country believes a pretend TV businessman who spent all his daddies money, went bankrupt 6x and convicted of financial crimes and took over then tanked the best economy in the world could ever have a good idea about the economy.
Unless your plan is to completely destroy the citizenry’s faith in the system, so that you and your Billionaire oligarch friends can pretend to “restore order & sanity” and replace a democratic system with an autocratic one, controlled by Big Tech
This is a key play in their plan… tank the markets
That depends on the final aim.. maybe the goal is to crash everything to the point where the gazillionaires can buy up everything for pennies, force people to work for pennies, and continue their concentration of wealth. In which case, they seem to be exactly on track
Unless your only concern is the wealthy, who won't feel it at all, and will come out the other side with an even higher percentage of ownership of everything. Then it's a pretty strong plan.
TBH, any political process to improve the state of the American polity will cause a recession at a minimum. Only maintaining the status quo will avoid that.
That said, a recession after turning left will be a lot easier on the common folk.

and why would ice make it more expensive?

Next question should be: WHY?

There is no intelligent strategy at all.

Yes, it is exactly that stupid.

The whip is the only way to force USA suburbanites out of their alienated stupor.
Your entire lives are unsustainable apathetic consumption. It must end. And you cannot be trusted to end it yourself
One step at a time !!!

(He's not playing the long game, he's a dolt, but I've got my fingers crossed about the pendulum swinging hard left)
Unless Republicans grow a pair (unlikely) we may just skip recession and go directly to depression.
And then it will be too late. Economic recovery will take years. Once again, Democrats will have to clean up the mess left by Republicans
Only solidarity, empathy, and collective resilience can defy their treason.

YES Louisiana borders the Gulf of Mexico!

If you need quick cash, apparently all you need to do is call a 5 year old the N word…
There’s your silver lining
Evil for sure, but pretty effective.
That said, a recession after turning left will be a lot easier on the common folk.
The ill effects of DOGE and the tariffs will make people pissed and scared.
The regime will madly try to spin it as temporary or Biden’s fault, but it won’t work.
This will be a real chance to organize resistance.
