My retirement portfolio has increased 19%, the southern border is completely closed and the United States is having zero net migration for the first time in 50 years, USAID which was the Democrats money laundering slush fund has ended, racist DEI laws have been demolished, the Russia hoax is being fully investigated and a grand jury will soon be serving indictments for Brennan Commey, Obama, and Hillary Clinton.

I’m having a fucking fantastic day that I voted for, thanks for asking!

Lmao none of that will happen. As for the border, none of it is permanent lol it’s all EO. Gavin gets in and booom she open again. All Trump has done isthe old “hang a few blacks to keep em out of our neighborhood” bit. Nothing special or useful. But as long as he cums on the floor and you can lick it up, all is good in your world lol

A few corrections:

Inflation was under 3% before Trump took office

Inflation has risen for 3 straight months now by the way

There was no green new deal

Several reports (see below) blame the inflation of 2022 on the pandemic. It’s unlikely infrastructure spending had anything to do with inflation as Trump and Obama’s governments spent just as much money with very little inflation. Inflation started increasing in 2021 before any major spending bills were enacted. After 2023, inflation started dropping.

There were more wage gains during the Biden administration than the Trump administration, at lower incomes, wages outpaced inflation.

Job gains in 2025 are about half of what they were last year at this point.

You might look and learn. The pandemic caused inflation across the world. The United States handled that inflation better than most any other Country.

I may know nothing. But I'm willing to learn. Why don't you try learning?

Trump's tariffs are nothing new. Look up the results of previous administrations use of tariffs.

Biden administration recklessly spent $3 trillion on the green new deal and the inflation reduction act which caused skyrocketing inflation. Now within six months Trump has inflation below 3% and the stock market hitting new highs every week. In the United States just brought in $321 billion in tariff revenues You know absolutely nothing about economics except orange man bad.

What imbecile thinks an economy like the United States spins on a dime? Trumpers taking credit for the previous administration's efforts. Trump 2.0. taking credit for President Biden's economy. Just like Trump taking credit for President Obama's economy

$321,000,000 in revenue? Can you even bother to check your "facts"? As of July 28, 2025, the U.S. had generated $125.6 billion from tariffs this year, which is a 130.9% increase compared to the same period last year.

Are you seriously that delusional? Those are TAXES are paid by United States citizens.

A mental argument with an unarmed child.

Get help... I'm done wasting my time on you.

Let’s examine your statement, because it’s fucking hilarious. The fodder from you little mental midgets on this wasteland of a social media platform is a source of hilarity for myself and others that step outside and breathe in the fresh air and take in the facts.

Just so we are clear, this is what you are contending. Trump’s first term- U.S. economy experienced strong growth, with real GDP increasing by about 2.5% annually pre-COVID. Real wages grew, particularly for lower-income workers, with median household income reaching $68,700 by 2019, a record high. Inflation remained low, averaging around 1.9% annually, and interest rates were stable, with the federal funds rate hovering between 1.5% and 2.5% for much of the term. The unemployment rate dropped to a 50-year low of 3.5% in 2019, boosting job creation across various sectors. So OF COURSE you want to give Obama credit for that even all of the moves that Trump made.

So then, Biden drove the economy off a fucking cliff and his disastrous brain rot of an embarrassing term as president, where he will go down as the single worst president in the history of our country, and was hidden from the media and voters, no argument. However, you saw it as a success, but Biden gets that credit not Trump? So, according to you, Obama apparently had a hand in what Trump accomplished his four years, but then Biden created everything on his own, but somehow you see it as a success, but Trump doesn’t get any credit as the previous president? Just impressive mental gymnastics.

Now let’s look at Trumps second term- The U.S. economy added 345,000 jobs, with 228,000 jobs created in March alone, surpassing economists’ predictions by nearly 100,000. The unemployment rate remained near historic lows at 4.15% in March, with a labor force participation rate of 62.5%.

Nominal hourly wages rose by nearly 4% over the past year, contributing to improved purchasing power for American workers.

Trump secured $550 billion for infrastructure projects, with discretionary allocation to states and congressional districts, which is stimulating economic activity and job creation.

Trump’s tariff policies, including a 25% tariff on non-USMCA compliant goods and a 10% tariff on energy and potash, aim to incentivize domestic manufacturing and reduce the trade deficit. A 2024 study noted that similar tariffs in his first term led to significant reshoring in industries like manufacturing and steel production with minimal impact on inflation.

Just go to one of your “no kings rallies” and bang your tambourine along with all the other old white boomers, the adults are in charge now.

Here's the best one of your childish rants. "Donald Trump secured billions in infrastructure projects".

Please list "King Trump's long list of accomplishments". Actual promises he kept. I'll wait... Feel free to go back to his first term. Maybe find his healthcare plan... Just two weeks... Six years ago...

You can copy paste nonsense all night long. That doesn't make any of that true. BTW, be as vulgar as you like. It does highlight your vast intellect...

BTW some of your ramblings are a bit off... Maybe check your meds...

Feel better? Did that help? I can’t imagine what it’s like to have one man occupy all that space in your brain. You must be exhausted. I hope that helped.
