I'm embarrassed for Trump supporters

Thanks, Europa!

Europeans are skipping US travel because of trump

More MAGA fascism!

CNN -

[accomplices of der Führer] have outlined its argument for deporting Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and prominent pro-Palestinian activist.

The new two-page memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio contains no allegations of criminal activity. Instead, it argues Khalil is deportable because of “beliefs, statements or associations” that would compromise US foreign policy interests.

The memo was submitted in response to a request from an immigration judge for evidence supporting the administration’s order to remove Khalil, who is a legal permanent resident.

Washington CNN —

Consumer sentiment plunged 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the University of Michigan said in its latest survey released Friday, the second-lowest reading on records going back to 1952.

Sentiment has now lost more than 30% since December 2024

April’s reading was lower than anything seen during the Great Recession.

“This decline was, like the last month’s,
pervasive and unanimous across age,
income, education, geographic region
and political affiliation,” Joanne Hsu,
the survey’s director, said in a release.

@fubah2

 I'm very concerned with the path the country is headed.

The housing market is now flooded down here with many Canadians putting there condos up for sale. Our 2 renters have already told us they will not be returning to Florida next year.

International students, who add so much culture to our universities will think twice about getting an education in the US. If we lived in another country, as a parent I would not allow our kids to enroll in a school here.

Law firms are being singled out by Don the Con & are succumbing to this vindictive prick.

The rollercoaster of a ride in the markets this week shows the instability of this administration.

We have alienated our allies & their trust in the US is gone.

Our corporate leaders are putting their heads in the sand & are hesitant to disagree with Fattyshack.

Each morning I wake up, I'm hesitant to logon & see what disaster this imbecile created during the night.

You can't believe a thing this lying POS says.

@Midnight1

Just on this point alone, I was reading recent stats by the Canadian govt indicate that visits to the US (tourism income for Americans and American businesses!) has dropped 13% just from Canada!

The larger point being that overall American tourism incomes and businesses ARE now and WILL take a noticeable, significant loss, not just from retreating Canadians, but across the globe.

Good Americans (those who support Democracy, the Constitution, while opposing authoritarianism) such as people in your situation, might now be forced to lower rent $ just to attract tenants - causing lost income.  This in turn makes disposable incomes lower than before. Akin to a tax, but certainly not in line with the CONVICTED FELON's promises to make cost of living BETTER.

I believe this is where the market was a year ago?

Extortion, and the road to republican-approved FASCISM...

my first thought as well   was illegality , extortion !

Q7A. Trump Issue Approval — Jobs and the economy

MODERATES said:

  36% .... approve

56% ... DISapprove!!!

Q7E. Trump Issue Approval — Health care

MODERATES said:

only 28% .... approve

57% ... DISapprove!!!! 

CNN's Harry Enten says that President Donald Trump has lost the approval of many independent voters in the United States because of his economic agenda.

January poll:  +1  among independents approved of trump

April poll:  -29 among independents approved of trump

By the popular votes, I think independent voters have contributed substantial ballots to Trump's win in the 2024 election. Now, many independent voters have fled away from Trump's economy agenda.  

@Europa

This appears to be the state of the union now...
