Commerce department reports that 2025 has the weakest economic growth in the US in the last 9 years excluding covid pandemic. However delusional Trump brags about creating the strongest economy in US history. He inherited strong economies from Obama and Biden which declined under his watch.
This just figures . . .

If Iran war ends tomorrow, this constitutes a historic strategic loss for the US according to Carnegie endowment for international peace. Setbacks outweigh battle field victories. Before the war, Iran did not control shipping in strait to boost inflation worldwide. In previous Iran nuclear deal, United nations conduct nuclear inspections. Now uncertain whether US could remove or destroy Iran nuclear materials. Killing of Iranian leaders lead to a more radicalized regime. World is less safe when more countries have greater incentive to develop nuclear weapons for self defense against US aggression.
that analysis is accurate

Diesel price spike - caused entirely by trump's WAR - raises stakes for Trump, GOP ahead of midterms
Politico - Most Americans are focused on the cost of gasoline at the station up the street — but diesel fuel costs are also poised to set an all-time high in the U.S., which in turn is expected to drive up prices for everything from groceries to postage.

US farm bankruptcies have surged 46% in 2025 according to American farm bureau federation. In both terms, farm bankruptcies are higher under Trump than under Biden administration.

The Trump administration is considering the establishment of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate the president’s allies and others investigated by the Justice Department under President Joseph R. Biden Jr.”
Does that sound like something ripe for corruption to you?

No way congress would approve of corrupt Trump $1.7 billion scheme to reward rioters who attack capitol on January 6. But he does not care about stealing from tax payers to support his bogus claims of malicious prosecutions. Besides, republican congress is too scared to stop him. This is a consequence of not punishing Trump after his second impeachment. Historians say this is a dark period for US history.

Too vague with no support. What historians? What specific scholarship or statements?
Broad appeals to unnamed authorities are weak evidence.
This presents disputed claims as facts; assumes motives without evidence; uses emotionally charged wording; uses claims that are unsupported or vague; and over generalizes Congress.
So, if imprecise wording is used to conflate facts and political interpretations it weakens the overall point.
Moral judgements and predictions need to be separated from verified facts and political opinions.

The thing i cant wrap my head around is, why anybody in our country, no matter which party you belong to would want to cater to any one persons desires. Its like some people have forgotten how free our country is and all of us have never bowed to any 1 person. Now i get how it happens in other countries, cause most countries havent lived their lives like we have lived.
Everyday when i wake up i just say " what the hell trump is just 1 frigging person like any of of, stop idolizing him, he doesnt have super powers and can beat us all up, if we stand up to him. Keep waiting for somebody to tap me on the shoulder and say this was all just a dream, it never happened.
If our country doesnt stand up to this king now, its only gonna keep getting worse as the years go by. In 20 years, we might have a person running our country that makes trump look like an angel. Trump has created the rules for future leaders and none of them want to follow our rules of law that our country was founded on.
In any other time in our history, would any part give a president 1.7 billion slush fund that he can give to his criminal friends, including convicted traitors. Come on people, even magas gotta now in their hearts this is wrong. This is no longer about getting one over on a democrat or a republican. We should all be on the same page.
I really thought when people finally saw what trump was truly about, people wouldnt be able to dump him fast enough. I truly believe the reason people love him so much, is because hes a vulgar asshole and they enjoy watching him belittle others.

Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he's finally gone! DJT
When has a stooped to this level of insecurity!
Colbert is finally finished at CBS.

Trump — without providing any evidence — said he believes elections in the U.S. are rigged. Then he lambasted television news networks, singling out NBC, CBS and ABC...
“They’re crooked just like you’re crooked, YOUR press is crooked. And ‘Meet the Press’ is crooked!” Trump said.
“You’re either crooked or you’re stupid!” Trump told Kristen Welker, a Black journalist

Trump often attacks fair elections and press freedom to legitimize republican war against truth and cheating in elections. Constantly lying to deceive people and fuel polarization or us versus them mentality so that he can claim a mandate to change corrupt system. Authoritarian regimes consolidate power by centralizing control, dismantling institutional checks and balances and suppressing dissent.
@fubah2 "rigged elections and crooked press"

Not to take hope from you guys - but electing a new president will hardly change a thing !
You are a dying nation - and you are because Trump and his minions forgot for a second why you are a powerhouse ! You were because the rest of the world wanted you to be and it was a common consensus that you were - that wish/illusion is shattered and it wont come back just because Trump isn’t in office
Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

Why do Trump and his cronies use the confederate flag - genuinely curious! It is a long time since I read your history - but I recall them being the losers of that war, them wanting to separate from “America” and have slavery !
Doesnt Trump try to picture him being a winner, being Pro America and sending “slaves” out of your country - so that flag literally represents the exact opposite - has it for real just become a racist flag now or what ?

Its pretty much the national flag of magas and racists.
During the civil war the Union soldiers should have dealt with all these down south confederate soldiers better, instead of them being able to regroup and wait years and years to come back on the scene. Trump was their calling card that they were all waiting for in order to show themselves again. The north should have taken complete control of the south and am sure that would have helped to have alot less racists in our country now.

Confederate flag is a controversial symbol of racism used by white supremacists who oppose civil rights for minorities. South history is about brutal oppression of slaves.

Heres the maga scumbags we have in our country who still want to live in the 1860's, displaying a video of the confederate flag bullshit at a state fair, which was ordered down.

Yeah it was because I saw it on that state fair thing I realised they used it - that is wild you are allowed to do that if it is just a way to promote racism - btw wtf is it with that state fair - how can that have cost 80 million USD - that looks like the most boring thing to attend I have ever seen - you know it is bad when the main attraction is a Ferris wheel - I don’t think I have ever questioned my life choices (and the meaning of life) more than when I was forced to go on the London eye - and that is a Farris wheel times 100 - the only exciting part about this would be that since it is Trump and co. That has made it a reality and stand for the security around it - it is 50/50 rather you survive that Farris ride or not
