Worse... Trump cuts to 0.1 or 0 percent.
Given Trump's past experiences with math, he'd say he's going to cut it 500% or even a 1000% and not even know what that really meant, just that it sounds so impressive (in his mind) to say it.

As an aside, you'd think Trump's cult following would have run out of excuses for his demented irrational behavior, but damn, they sure are giving it their best shot and making them appear all the more foolish for doing it. Yet there they are, spit shining Trump's daily dump of stinky turds. Stupendously hilarious in a tragic kind of way. We all laugh at Trump for his moronic demented behavior and his enraptured followers actually think we're laughing at them....Well, yeah.

When it comes to interest rate someone probably whisper to him how it impacts the national debt so he thinks he can fix the problem by making it super low. However he doe not understand how things interconnect and therefore his tiny brain can't grasp that there might be negatives to such an action.

I'm sure he really studied hard at Wharton, how else can you explain his genius moves.

I mean, look at our resident conservatives, they don't have shit to say about anything.

Nah, that's too much work for the old man. He is just cheering them on.
I'm thinking being a Nazi SS cosplayer turns him on enough to take some Tylenol and go out there and tear gas some libruls and brown people. They'd hire him, they have zero standards - racists like him preferred. I think he just may be out there living out his dream of being an absolutely shitty and sorry excuse for a human being - on the snowy streets of Minneapolis.

Given that the Fed has been keeping rates below the rate of inflation, they are already paying people to take the money.

So USA right now seems split in 2. Dems and Reps, 2 opposing positions, no middle road. Might as well make it official

We have pretty hardcore polarization and a squishy middle group of moron swing voters. Whoever secures that latter group wins the election. It's a somewhat smaller group than surveys might imply because a lot of die hard partisans often describe themselves as "independent".

He’s had many recent polls at 35-38 and his issue polling is far worse than last term. Also, the other side is more pissed and energized than ever before.

The base will never abandon their favorite pedophile. Ever. I will be astonished if his approval drops below 34.

The admin is scared of the Epstein files not because they think the base will turn on them. They are scared that they will help solidify and energize an anti-GOP coalition.

I've long thought his realistic floor was in the low 30s absent the US losing (or failing to decisively win) a war or major economic calamity. Though he's more or less flirting with both of those on a regular basis.

Rules for Trump’s “Board of Peace”

Trump is the Chairman
Membership fees are paid directly to the Chairman
The Chairman can waiver membership fees
The Chairman can expel any member for any reason
All votes of the board require the Chairman’s approval
The Chairman’s successor is selected by the Chairman

So ... I guess that means if say, Newsom is elected President, Don Jr. is the new chairman?

Funny how "give all of your money to Donald Trump" seems to be Donald Trump's solution to any and all world problems. The money will be used to fund the Board of Peace Peace prize that only "Daddy" can win.

And yeah, let's put Putin and Netanyahu on there. Both peaceful kinda guys! Where is Kim Jong Un's invite?

Tick. Tock , Americans? Congress? Time is running out. Tick. Tock.

What those graphs tell me is how astonishing it is that in the face of Trump's disastrous performance as POTUS this past year, the Republicans are steadfastly in a state of denial over Trump's debilitating and accelerating physical and mental decline that's directly responsible for his bizarre behavior. To be so intentionally deaf, dumb and blind to it is a really scary thing to behold.

Brooke Rollins thinks meals in the United States cost $3 each and three full square meals and a snack is about $15.64 per day, while Scott Bessent thinks the average retiree owns 10 to 12 homes.



So, let’s imagine a world where $15.64 is what a family pays for 3 square meals and a "snack" (lol).

For the average family of four:
$15.64 x 4 = $62.56 per day x 7 days = $437.93 per week x 52 = $22,772 per year, just for groceries.

So, a parent working a full time job would need to bring home $11 per hour after tax just to buy food for their family. Assuming, of course, perfect adherence to our government economists rosy estimate of what food costs, if your clever and frugal, and leaving exactly $0 for any non-food expenses.

I guess that’s where the rent money you’re earning from your 10 to 12 homes comes in?!

Gaslighters gonna gaslight! .. These people are nuts!
