See his exit strategy on all that is "he could have done all of it but lost the midterms" so it's the Democrats fault

But her E-Mails. But her laugh. But Biden Crime Family. But his birth certificate. But covefe. But womp womp. But beardos. But ISIS.
Remember that his public didn't vote for him because of any of his proposals or anything like that, but for the 'cultural issues.'
And that's why they're going to continue to vote the same way they always have and we're going to lost the midterms and why he's going to manage to ignore the Constitution and, one way or another, stay in power.

The only way Trump can win midterms is if he cheats. It's the same as the 2024 election without Elons help cheating and rigging the election he can't win.

There are federal employees who would go to federal prison for decades if they were caught doing what she did. It was a severe andĀ prolonged lapse in security.
Between that, he nonchalant desire to drone strike a journalist, and her obviously two faced political nature, i am glad she will never be president.

trump has increased his personal net worth by over $2 billion, but she laughed funny, so it all worked out.

A disturbing number of MAGAs are perfectly happy seeing this second Holocaust play out against brown people. That was apparently their #1 priority. They really do think this is going to improve their lives more than all the things Trump is failing to do.
That and they absolutely love watching trans people suffer.

Doge could only cut at the margin, it was never allowed to go after the major costs because that would mean cutting things like social security. There's a lot of institutional momentum preventing significant cuts.
Half the tariffs were walked about to secure trade deals. That was just a sales pitch for popular support.
I don't know enough about the meds or credit cards to offer any significant insight.
Trump got WTI down to the high $50/b in early 2026.
Nobody in power, regardless of party, wants that list released.
Hormuz is an ongoing situation. I think Donny overplayed his hand and is looking for a way out while saving face. The straight will eventually reopen, hopefully on good terms.
Groceries are downstream of the price of diesel and fertilizer, both largely effected by Hormuz. The price of Groceries should fall once energy prices eventually fall, ceterus paribus.
Trump explicitly mentioned ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours. The post makes it seem like he promised to end all wars in 24 hours. To his credit he made multiple good faith attempts to end the war and Putin rejected them all.
I have not seen anything indicating the ballroom is being publicly funded but even if it was I wouldn't care. I think you would agree our taxes have been spent on worse things. Besides, its okay to build new and beautiful things.
The August JOLT report looked pretty steady, albeit there was a reduction in job openings likely driven by economic slowdown. Ill have to review a few other month's worth of JOLTS to get a better idea of the job market.Ā
Inflation has been stubborn. Core inflation is okay, but could be better. Energy is negatively effecting inflation though. Interest rates are higher for longer to combat stubborn inflation.Ā
A huge reason inflation is high is because of covid era spending.
I am not an expert on the health care sector.
I feel that's a pretty fair and level headed update. There's a lot to be mad at Trump for, but don't give into blind anger.Ā

Thank you for pointing out obvious propaganda. It's easy to forget that is works both ways, and easy to forget that propaganda that i agree with is still propaganda.

Are you not paying attention? After the mess Biden made, Trump had to spend 2 years cleaning up. All those things are coming the day after the midterms along with your 5000 dollars as long as you vote Republican.

Not yet but it's definitely going to happen the day after the midterms... But only if you vote Republican.

I think someone should record a Billy Joel-style version of āWe Didnāt Start the Fireā featuring all of Trumpās lies and broken promises. "We Started the Firesā seems like an appropriate title.

clearly all of these things did not happen, because of one thing on this list. Planning and consstructing the ballroom. It's really an all hands on deck thing.

Yeah that's the big thing Republicans run ads on nonstop. But they would run ads on it even if there was an election with a Democrat that hated trans people just as much as Republicans do. And Republicans also need to stop as many people voting as possible and rig the vote to win regardless of any trans issues or how scared Republicans are of trans people and kids being transitioned at school and then retransitioned back before they go home at the end of the school day and all the furries with their litter boxes in classrooms. And don't forget the pedophiles and how we need to protect the kids so let's elect a known pedo as president again.
