Basically won how? There's not much to this agreement other than a tax increase for regular Americans. If you consider that a win then I guess?

Sure I consider that a win for him because he wants America to be a SHITHOLE Country!

Why does no one immigrate to Russia or Nigeria or South Africa? They're shithole countries!

Want to get rid of immigrants?? Turn your country into a shithole country and watch them leave!

Unfortunately we'll have to pay for it with costs rising everywhere. Add in tariffs and those rising costs will double.

Lol this is like that Axios article that came out which proclaimed Trump victorious but noted the American public absolutely fucking hates whats happening. His econ numbers are going to be in the 20s by the midterms (if not sooner) and Republicans are probably going to get smoked, a la 2018, nationally.

Trump's tariffs ARE the greatest tax hike in American history, right?

After reading this WSJ article I am having a hard time taking comfort in those numbers.

Democrats Get Lowest Rating From Voters in 35 Years, WSJ Poll Finds

Democrats have been hoping that a voter backlash against the president will be powerful enough to restore their majority in the House in next year’s midterm elections, much as it did during Trump’s first term. But the Journal poll shows that the party hasn’t yet accomplished a needed first step in that plan: persuading voters they can do a better job than Trump’s party.

On the whole, voters disapprove of the president’s handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs and foreign policy. And yet in each case, the new Journal poll found, voters nonetheless say they trust Republicans rather than Democrats to handle those same issues in Congress.

“The Democratic brand is so bad that they don’t have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party,” said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who worked on the Journal survey with Republican Tony Fabrizio. “Until they reconnect with real voters and working people on who they’re for and what their economic message is, they’re going to have problems.”

The disapproval of the party is coming from inside the house. Partisan Ds (myself among them) are unhappy with how many incumbents are comporting themselves and there is going to be huge pressure next year for a lot of them to retire otherwise they're going to draw primary challenges.

Yep.

And I will show up in November and vote for the Democratic candidate for a governor because this is the Democratic strategy. No matter how useless and full of shit or corrupt we are, we're way better than the Nazis so we'll get the votes. We don't really have to be better though.

That didn't work for them in 2016 or 2024 but I think it will work in 2026.

Don't forget the vote blue no matter who is not for actual progressive Democrats, it only goes the other way, for corporate establishment Dems lol
 
I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but with tariffs and inflation sharply driving up prices, I’ve yet to see any real attempt to address wage growth so people can actually afford the higher costs. That doesn’t sound like a well-thought-out economic strategy to me.

DJT thinks just by telling the companies not to to raise prices, they will not raise prices.

Sure hope he pays you to post that garbage because if he doesn't.. you're losing.. if not in stocks, when you actually buy something because not everything is made in USA.

FFS America is what 3% of the world.. and White MAGA are what 1.5%?

If the 1.5% made everything that would be awesome indeed but we live in the real world, not the koolaid drinking one.
 
Alright so India gets a tariff one point lower than April 2 (Liberation Day) and the allegation that Trump just discovered rounding so far not being beaten (from 26% to 25%) Also threat of unspecified additional tariff due to Indian purchases of Russian crude oil.
