And just think, there were those out there that doubted he would get anything done. /s

Getting things done usually means building. It's decidedly easier to tear things down and much harder to build them back up.
Give the Orange Asswipe a break, the idiot is following his orders from the Kremlin and he is doing a fan-fucking-tastic job of destroying the US economy and foreign relations.
It’s bad now? You have no idea! All import stopped and or halted when your orange diaper introduced tariffs on everything. Meaning you’re just seeing the start of it.
Tariffs are still unclear because he’s changing them every damn second. Meaning companies are still hesitant about shipping goods because of the uncertainty regarding tariffs.
Zero grocery, zero price. You cannot complain about avocado prices if there was no avocado imported, eh?
Reminds me of my childhood in a communist country.
So here's the fucking thing.
The crisis is already here. Go take a peak at the ports on the west coast right now. Go look at business forecasts.
This man systematically destroyed a working economy in a business quarter.
The repercussions of these actions are going to be felt for at least a decade.
They will be felt for the rest of the century.
Totally agreed.
These people literally are destroying the pre eminent power and completely usurping centuries old historical power hierarchies seemingly for the benefit of shorting the markets on their own whim.
As if those dollars they earn will be worth anything when hyperinflation hits.
brink of a crisis
Ummm I don't think the meaning of a crisis is understood anymore. Brink implies risking a crisis, where the usa has been in a full on crisis on many fronts for about 100 days. I would even say that they are past the initial crisis point and are getting way to cocky this far into a multi pronged collapse.
Let me translate this little code.
“Donald Trump has almost made it to where it the owners of this network will actually notice it in the bottom line for their quest to fulfill their endless greed.”
Oh then maybe then they will write articles that "SLAM" him......
Hyuck hyuck hyuck
Trump’s promise? I don’t remember him promising much anything at all until the very tail end of the campaign, and even then it was kinda offhand. OTOH, the troll farms were in absolute overdrive talking about eggs, groceries, worthless higher education, gas prices (even though they are higher now) and of course bashing Harris over tons of things that weren’t even jobs she had the authority to do.
Trump did state he was going to raise tarrifs. The problem is that a lot of voters thought he was going to govern like he did in the first term.
What was so great about the first term? The only thing that kept that from being a disaster was the fact that people stopped him from doing so many shitty things. Now he’s ignoring everyone including the courts.
Trump was relatively ineffective on his first term because he didn't know how to be effective and didn't choose to ignore the courts.
Trying to put myself in the shoes of a Trump supporter who isn't an idiot, they probably thought the damage Trump could do for a second term would be as limited as it was for the first term while still keeping a governmental status quo.
And some people still say he has business skills...
What, you don't think he's getting rich off this?
Yeah people misunderstand Trump's business history. It doesn't matter how many casinos he bankrupted, Trump profited. He's a vampire like a private equity firm, leaving a trail of dead husks behind him.
MAGAts know nothing but hurting others.
They also know hurting themselves.
Sure, but have you considered that Kamala had a weird laugh
This is such a stupid argument and I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for my dad. He keeps talking about her laugh and I explain to him that it’s appropriate to express all emotions…. And he doesn’t believe it. He’s also unable to connect me being in therapy and his behavior.

All to plan
Not even. Him and Elon biffed every other form of autocratic guidance that laid out steps to take.
Cutis Yarvin is furious at how incompetent Musk and Torange have been. By 100 days in they should have been drowning journalists in foam. They haven't even hit 50% of Project 2025 progress.
Rank amateur bitches. Can't even do authoritarianism well.
Do they need to succeed?
The Koch brothers already have a new U.S. constitution drafted and a majority of the states they need to call a constitutional convention. They’ve had plans in motion for years.
I think Trump and Musk were always supposed to be the fall guys. But if they break enough, or reveal enough non-working about the current system, the plan we’re not supposed to realize is in play will succeed.
