We register to vote in NM when we get a driver’s license, the name on the DL has to match the voting registration. I had to bring all kinds of paperwork to verify my name and citizenship and it had to match voting registration. I show my voter id at the voting site and sign in. Isn’t that enough?

If blue states can’t get services they need or used to have from federal government, why should they give the feds any money? They have no say in what is happening. The fed government is no longer a representative government for the people.

Trump is okay with a recession but not a depression. Is this the legacy he wants to leave? If so, he is definitely insane. No sane person would do this to our country.

If it is true that Musk is moving communications to Social Security to X, people including congress should throw a big fit! There used to be a government bidding process for outside work!

Why would a president want to singlehandedly create a recession? He will go down in history as one of the dumbest presidents ever. Those supporters who say he is brilliant should stop the a**kissing as they aren’t doing Trump any favors.

I don’t know why the news media broadcasts Trump’s cabinet meetings. All he does is trash all the past presidents and talk about how great he is and how everyone loves him, as obviously all the cabinet members do. Each one is the same old luvfest designed to praise Trump. Not really worth the time.

You have to know that Musk was in the government computers for a financial benefit. He might not have been taking money at present because he has higher goals, but his worker bees were charging a lot. Crazy to me that anyone thought anyone thought they weren’t getting paid.

Does Trump even realize or care how many small businesses went out of business because of his tariffs? This volatility is not good for business or normal people, but he gets off on it so there will be more of these games. He doesn’t care about people, just money and power.

Trump put tariffs on about 90 countries and 75 have contacted the WH to negotiate according to Bessent. He said he paused because people were jumping out of line and afraid. He said he had to do the tariffs. Really? Is this how he negotiates? Utter madness!

Trump is out of touch with reality and most Americans. He does a fairly good job of conning though.

I heard Trump is paying El Salvador $6 million to take 200 deportees. They would probably take all our deportees for that price. No questions asked.

Apparently Trump the Great Negotiator is not so great at negotiating without making everyone suffer. Also, he seems to forget he added $8 trillion to the deficit. Looks to me like he wants a lot of people to pay for his great America. We were a great economic power before he did all this.

Apparently the voters who elected Trump weren’t that concerned about the prices of things. If they were, they would be the ones protesting.

There aren’t enough Americans who want to work in manufacturing jobs to warrant this damage to our country. Everything that has been done in the past couple of months is like a “shock and awe” strategy, the methods you use on an enemy, not your friends and country.

We were the envy of the rest of the world. Now they are angry and feel sorry for us. Trump didn’t have a mandate to do this. Many people didn’t have any idea he wanted to destroy us on the road to some imaginary place.

Republican politicians are willing to let us go into a recession to see if Trump’s tariffs will work? Really? They couldn’t figure out how to create more jobs without putting us thru this costly gamble? Seems assbjckwards to me.

Why would a president intentionally destroy our infrastructure and throw us into a recession? Simple questions and I think the answer is probably quite simple and, sadly, evil; not for the good of the country. It is all of what those who didn’t vote for him feared.

This is madness. It is obvious Trump is trying to destroy our country for a takeover. What more is it going to take for the republican politicians to do something to stop it?

All Ted Cruz cares about if we have a recession is that the republicans will have a bloodbath in the 2026 elections. These people are so out of touch!

Do you think Trump thinks this will work out great and he’ll get what he wants and then be viewed as a hero? Or is it really about destruction?

Trump might as well say “let them eat cake,” while he lives in luxury at his golf course and a lot of Americans are scared to death because of what is going on. This is no way to run a democratic country.

This is why Trump wanted loyalists in his cabinet. So they wouldn’t invoke the 25th amendment. He is mentally ill. They need to stop this madness.

Trump is gambling with American lives. Sending tweets to foreign investors that now is a good time to come in and buy land, etc. and get rich. This from a man who has gone bankrupt many times and probably lost as much as he has made. Why anyone ever thought he would help or cared about us is crazy.

E Trump tried to bail out the devastating effect of his dad’s tariffs by tweeting about negotiating with him. If this is Trump’s method of negotiating, they are the actions of a madman.

Trump’s talk about bringing manufacturing jobs back to US is absurd. Before the government layoffs, the unemployment rate was fairly low. More people are going to lose jobs because of these tariffs. He isn’t doing this for more jobs.

Anyone who thinks these tariffs are good for business is being very singleminded and shortsighted. They are going to affect their pocketbooks in so many other ways.

Trump is berserk! What a crazy way to run a country, even if any of his actions get him whatever the hell it is that he wants. Sometimes things are as simple as they appear. He is an irrational man with power.

This is how Trump, the great negotiator, negotiates! Why can’t he just do some plain and simple negotiations instead of creating an uproar and potential world recession? We used to be the envy of the world.

If Trump wants to create all these old new jobs in manufacturing, gas and oil, steel, auto industry, etc., wouldn’t it be less harmful to our economy to just create the plants and jobs in America first?

It is interesting the Trump voters don’t like Musk but they continue to support Trump even though the two of them are thick as thieves. Musk can do a lot of the bad stuff and people can blame him instead of Trump when he is obviously doing Trump’s bidding. Strange.

How much are we paying DOGE employees to fire everyone? They are so rude and inept. There are already people employed by the government who know how to do layoffs appropriately.

Trump is not trying to fix the economy. He is intentionally hurting it. Inflation, tariffs, talks of a recession, all because of his actions. Combined with everything else he is doing, he is destroying our country on his road to an authoritarian government.
