The President orders the nation’s flags at half staff for a racist podcaster but still hasn’t done so for six fallen soldiers. Typical. He is waiting for someone to tell him it is a bad look for him. Then he will make the order.
Your TDS is flaring up again.
How so? Why aren’t we hearing from him? I see he just fired your poster girl for cruelty.
TDS you are obsessed with, he is living in your head
Go fill your car up with gas. It is up about 70 cents a gallon today, more tomorrow.
Yup, what do you expect. and inflation was stable under Biden
2025 marked the first year since the aftermath of the 2008 financial collapse that saw five separate months of labor market contraction. Since Trump took office, the U.S. economy has averaged fewer than 5,000 new jobs per month. He has slashed the federal workforce by over 330,000 positions, an 11 percent cut. Long-term unemployment is now up to 25.7 weeks, the highest since 2021. Manufacturing just lost another 12,000 jobs. Healthcare lost 28,000. Transportation and warehousing are collapsing, down 157,000 jobs in a single year. And his war is making every single one of those numbers worse.
Oil broke $90 a barrel today, the highest in years. U.S. crude surged nearly 35 percent in a single week, the largest weekly spike in the history of oil futures trading, dating all the way back to 1983. Gas prices jumped 34 cents in just one week to $3.32 a gallon, the steepest weekly increase since the early days of the Ukraine invasion. Experts are warning oil could hit $100 by next week, and Qatar’s energy minister is saying it could top $150 if the war escalates further. And the President told the country this morning that prices aren’t high.
The Dow dropped 453 points. The S&P 500 fell 1.3 percent. The Nasdaq dropped 1.6 percent. All three indexes are now negative for the year. Mortgage rates jumped back to 6 percent, slamming the door on any hope of a housing recovery. Retail sales dropped again in January. And nearly everything we buy is still going up in price.
Tell me again how great we are doing.
Better than Biden
You are delusional. And you are in a cult.
