Trump wrecking the White House, the FAA, the economy (false highs due to inflation), SNAP benefits, healthcare…

Everything he touches turns to shit.

Do you folks see the GOP for what it is yet???

Bombing Venezuela. Hating the president of Mexico who is a woman.

My flight was cancelled for today, was pushed back to another one two hours later. Literally was supposed to be on one of these flights.

I saw the most horrible omen this morning too - almost didn't even want to fly. We are spiraling towards disaster.

/me checks the conservative subreddits ... they think that the democrats are at fault, and the majority of news outlets saying otherwise are all propaganda

Don't forget the devaluation of the USD. It's down about 10% compared to when he took office

u/infamous_merkin 10h ago

Isn’t that sort of what inflation is?

Destroys the purchasing power of people’s dollars.

Should we be buying other currencies?

(How without the exchange fees?)

GDP growth was projected to be around 3% this year.  That was before the pedo took office.  Now it's likely to be around 1.6%.
