Because Putin , his Puppets,
Trump and his enablers hate America, and want to see her downfall, they have accomodations elsewhere by the dictators of the world if this should occur.
If the magat king can start the downward spiral prior to taking office, he can blame all of his economic failures on Biden. “It was already trending that way, the previous administration screwed it up. I saved us from the worst of it.”
I want to agree with this but I put some blame on the non voters who voted last election but not this one. It just goes to show how the electoral system is broken and disenfranchises the majority of Americans. When only 7 states out of 50 matter is bs. 7 swing states own this mess.
I get that sentiment and it’s totally valid. Those who didn’t vote also massively contributed to this as well. Although if I were to assign a weight I put more weight on MAGA since they knew this would happen yet still went ahead with voting for the guy.
I’m not even sure a majority even knew this would happen . I have watched right wing media and it literally nothing but lies. They never see the truth. But yeah…it’s weighted on them. 👍🏻
100 percent agree about the swing states. Not sure why it needs to come down to a few select states.
If my understanding is correct, there have been 4 republican victories won by electoral collage yet lost by popular vote. John Adams was the only "democrat" who won by EC.
Well, he has to break it badly before he can "fix it" and influence everyone to agree on blowing up the constitution and making him king. I really hope that people wise up
The idea is to pay off the federal debt, currently at $36T with funds from the tariffs. However, the projected income from the tariffs is about $227B yearly.
It will take 158 Years, let alone the damage to the economy and likely reduction in imports stretching the payoff even further.
I'm a member on YouTube and figured I'd join you here. I really get a lot out of your videos. Touches my heart in the place that longs for decency and peace. Sort of amazing that a west coast liberal (as MAGA would refer to someone like me) resonates with you from Tennesee. ): Thanks!!!!
Its time for Ms. Pelosi to step down, release her hold on the purse strings and put some new strategists who actually have a clue. The problem was obvious, yet constant excuses were made. The course of action was clear, but instead y'all ran around like Sunday dinner's yard bird.
Yes Democratic Party leadership official talking points from a costumed party spokesperson. Let's get people worked up, frustrated and angry, but don't offer any solution or respite. The democratic party is not going to win using these tired and easily seen through tactics
If the tariffs happen and prices spike, do you actually think the MAGA faithful will turn on him? Or will the Right's propaganda machine make excuses and blame it in Biden and the Dems?
A. We need to get a beer one day. Andy Pirkle could set it up.
B. He was elected by people that hate the nation and our founding documents. Of course he is trying to wreck the economy and the rest of the nation.
David Pakman made a great observation... trump is trying to tank the economy before he gets into office by revealing his future economic plans so that he can "save" or "repair" the economy when he gets in and look like a "hero." Hurting people for your gain just makes you an asshole. Not a hero.
Ukraine has a right to defend itself, Putin is a bully that wants to take over Europe andthe world. Ukraine has been fighting this with their hands tied by the US, I am happy that they allowed Ukraine to use long range missiles for their defense, so did UK, staunch NATO ALLIES.
I think this go around the gloves will be off with Canada in US. Expect both to tilt to China in a big way if Trump follows through. Trade is a two way street not gimmie gimmie gimmie like the rants of a three year old. I can’t believe Americans voted in this retard again.
As soon as he’s inaugurated, Trump will declare that his tariff threats resulted in victory over all three without needing to actually enact them. Then he can get on to the actual business of tax cuts and gutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
People do not remember the 24% increase in farm foreclosures
the record trade deficits
or steel plants closing here
Covid quite honestly saved trump from being fully blamed for a recession, and that was without mass deportation that will throw several wrenches into the economy
Trump amnesia syndrome, we were in a manufactoring recession prior to Covid, US lost 200,000 manufactoring jobs. Trump the only Pres. Since Hoover to leave office with fewer job growth than when he stated, and thst's a fact!!!
We should not be surprised. he has been threatening since 2015. he is going to THREATEN anyone that contradicts him. He threatened Blue states, to withhold Federal funds, for not LIKING/BEING NICE TOHIM. That says it all.
I’m hopeful that there is much more bluster than they can muster from what the corporate overlords will allow. In other words, should we expect more border walls financed by Mexico? More of Trump’s broken promises is what I actually hope for.
Didn't work before, isn't going to work now. Like @jack-e-smith.bsky.social has reminded us recently, this was one of the main catalysts for the great depression.
Those that dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
All this talk of cutting government jobs for "efficiency" and then deporting migrant farm workers. Wonder who will end up in those low paying farm jobs...🤔
Not just wreck the economy, but speedrun it this time. And he has no pandemic to blame it on this time -- it's *all* him, every last bit of it, and from the sound of it, the US economy is going to be reduced to rubble within a year.
It's like giving a loaded gun to a 4 year old. He thinks it's all a game, laughing every time he pulls the trigger, not understanding in the least the damage that it causes when he does.
This guy talks Tennessee, but the natives did not listen to him, just like Ojeda talks West Virginian. But the natives did not listen to him either. What language do we need to speak for people to understand that once they lose their rights, they will be living in a totalitarian country.
Just spoke to my Trump loving mother. They are spinning the terrifs as a good thing,they say it will bring manufacturing back to USA. They just don't understand.
Good opportunity to remind her of how US workers for Harley Davidson lost their jobs when they moved their production overseas to offset the damage inflicted to them after being targeted for export retaliation in response to trumps 1st term tarriffs
Jeezus Dubya Bush did it, pushing those bullshit tax cuts that even Ayn Rand Disciple #AlanGreenspan said were a bad idea. The GOP had to force them through (both times) through #BudgetReconciliation. The thing the Dems had to use to push #ObamaCare through while the GOP were opposing it....
The world bank has thanked the US for pulling the world out of pandemic recession!
GOP : we have the worst economy in history. We must destroy all things because the billionaires can’t make enough money in this economy 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
