Trump promotes myth of immigrant crime wave to appeal to the ignorance and prejudice of voters. Europa shows CDC data confirming fewer fentanyl deaths under Biden administration. Increased immigration doesn't increase US crime rates because 95% of crimes are committed by native born Americans. 95% of convicted drug traffickers are US citizens who are less likely to be stopped at border. Texas data shows that immigrants are far less likely to commit crimes.
@thirdperson
But MAGA nation ignores those facts because it doesn't fit their desired narrative.
Many still believe BLACK PEOPLE from Haiti were wildly running amuck eating the pets of Springfield residents......BECAUSE TRUMP SAID IT WAS A FACT.

That's what they want to believe. To them if Trump said so then it MUST be a fact.

Iam 100 percent convinced that if trumpy went to the parents home of a maga and killed them, the maga wouldnt be mad and would say trumpy must have had a good reason for doing this act. This is how far magas have been brain washed. Trumpy makes jim jones look like a child.
Saw a funny side by side comparison of jim jones and trumpy. Picture of jones said he got people to commit mass suicide and picture of trumpy said he can do the same thing but he will get them to pay for it before they do it

@cd329
True!
Likewise, if trump shot dead a 12 yr old girl IN THE MIDDLE OF 5th Avenue,
and not only would the republican House, the Republican Senate and trump's DOJ refuse an investigation or condemn it after trump denies everything and threatens all prosecutors and judges - but all of those plus every MAGA would proclaim "it's CLEARLY all Joe Biden's and the Democrat's fault!!!"

RS- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) escalated her feud with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over his refusal to allow new parents in Congress to vote by proxy, NBC News reported — and she threatened to stall all business in the House until he compromises on the issue.

Continuing the trend set by the 14th ranked best US president after 48 consecutive months with job gains, March showed a continuation of Biden's trend.
But unlike Biden's trend, under Trump, unemployment numbers have ticked up in February and again in March, now sitting at 4.2%
There is solid reason to believe this harmful trend may continue in the coming months

4.2% unemployment

Trump's tariff-induced market plunge isn’t over just yet
CNN — US stock futures plunged Sunday evening after two sessions of sell-offs that wiped away over $5.4 trillion in market value. Stocks were set to open sharply lower Monday, putting the S&P 500 on the precipice of a bear market — a decline of 20% from its peak and an ominous sign for investors and perhaps the broader economy.

The massive declines in futures follow the worst two-day stretch for stocks in five years – since the pandemic.
The markets have rejected [the convicted felon’s] massive tariff regime
Markets have tumbled because the tariffs could raise prices significantly for American businesses and consumers. That’s because importers pay the tariffs, not the countries exporting the goods that Trump wants targeted!

MAGA says "Those penguins had it coming to them dammit! And how about those polar bears on Svalbard? They've been getting away with murder! These freeloaders haven't bought American goods in years."
Penguins have responded with "Krill Baby Krill!"

Mortgage rates climb to highest level in two months as Trump’s tariffs continue to rock markets
The average rate on a standard, 30-year fixed mortgage was 6.83% in the week ending April 17, up from 6.62% a week ago, mortgage financing provider Freddie Mac said Thursday.
That’s the largest one-week jump in mortgage rates in nearly a year.
Interest rates on home loans had been steadily falling since last March [under President Biden].
But [the convicted felon’s] scattered approach to tariffs and an escalating trade war with China has injected volatility into the stock market.

Was only a matter of time when the Felon would go after the Fed Chairman, he has no control over him which Felon does not care about our laws so he will attack him more and more as he tries to make him resign. Just more of his example on how to be a good American I assume. Have not seen it yet but my guess is he will blame the Chairman for the rise as he goes to his henchmen in Congress to break a few more laws. He does not care anyway.

Boeing shares fall on report that China has halted its deliveries as part of trade war
Trade war is escalating beyond tariffs. China cash US treasury bonds and bans sale of rare Earth elements. US imposes higher dock fees on Chinese ships. The worst is yet to come. Historically. some trade wars lead to military wars.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock peaked at $480 per share in December. At the time, Donald Trump had just won the presidential election with tremendous financial support from CEO Elon Musk, and investors were confident the company would benefit from their relationship.
But the opposite has happened.
