You do not offend me, I know more than most posting about America on this Political forum. unfortunately, many people are still living delusional. There has always been Wars and USA has helped to fight in Some. Other Counties have their Own problems and many of them will Never stop fighting. America will protect its Own. .... That's (the bold statement) is very primitive & naive, and can create undesired & dangerous situations. Animals that live in groups behave that way. We aren't animals. What sets us apart as humans is the ability to think for ourselves, even if this is different from what others around you think. That's what allows us to be on our path to individuation, which we are meant to do. It is not the idea to take 100 or more steps back in human evolution and become like animals. We have a highly developed frontal lobe, esp the prefrontal cortex. You gotta use it. |

Apparently the progressive dems in this country lost the use of their frontal cortex either from TDS or a lack of common sense. New York voting for a communist for their mayor. That tells you all you need to know about the mindset of the dangerous radical morons that live among the rest of us.. |

Trump's tariffs are asinine and illegal. Among Americans, they're unpopular with only Trump's biggest fans saying they like the tariffs. And anybody with brains knows the tariffs are just another tax on consumers, since the importers are not going to "eat the tariffs" as Trump insisted. If Walmart or Amazon get around to breaking out the cost of the tariffs, as previously suggested, then popular support for them will drop a lot further.
Ultimately, tariffs or no, Trump is still an imbecile. |

Wow, your still falling for the false narrative that â tariffs are badâ even though prices are falling not rising . Admit it.. you even say at the end of your post that wether the tarriffs work or not Trump is still a imbecile.. btw Walmart will keep eating those tarriffs because they need Americans to buy their stuff. and they already have more money than they know what to do with.

Yeah, I get it that you accept everything The Donald tells you, but if you cared to look around, you'd know it's false. His administration had to change the way the collected data to make economic statistics look good for him, and nobody in government is allowed to contradict the dope. Most of the tariffs don't take effect until August. The metal tariffs have already started, but manufacturing takes a while to work through the system, and elsewhere, prices are largely unchanged or a bit higher, except where merchants stockpiled pre-tariff goods in anticipation of all this nonsense. Once those supplies run out, we get higher prices, and the countries that used to import US goods are now boycotting. Furious Canadians Boycott US, Slashing $2B in Trade and 14K Jobs www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/furious-canadians-boycott-us-slashing-2b-in-trade-and-14k-jobs/ar-AA1BGCjW For years, Canada has been the biggest source of international travelers to the US. Even a small dip in Canadian spending has major effects on the American economy. According to the US Travel Association, a 10% reduction in Canadian travel could cost the US $2 billion and eliminate 14,000 jobs. This is already happening, as Canadian air travel to the US dropped by 13% in February, according to Statistics Canada.
But I'm sure you consider this winning. |

Yes .. Winning is the right word for Trumps agenda and policies. You should clear the liberal fog that is blocking your view of the reality around us. Itâs getting better, but because of the stupidity of the Democratic Party , we suffered for four years. Now we are back and getting better everyday for all americans and not just the left leaning or illegals and criminals

Now we are back and getting better everyday for all americans and not just the left leaning or illegals and criminals I get it that regarding facts isn't your thing, but Trump is costing the country $trillions in debt and bad faith with our national allies. Thought he could make friends with Putin, Xi & Kim, and is now just a national joke. We're not winning. Things are getting worse, and soon, Trump's cover-ups wont work anymore. There'll be no way to hide the higher unemployment and inflation caused by the tariffs. |

Unbelievable that one single man can take so much power and get away with it. You nailed it. NO one trusts the felon and the grab for power is real. One always suspects that whatever he does, it benefits his business empire. Hopefully the damage he does can be overturned when he leaves. Exactly. |

Unbelievable, it was Biden and the dems that were acting like the dictatorship they accuse Trump of. Vaccine mandates over false info. Giving illegal aliens anything they requested while cutting veteran programs. Using FEMA moneys to pay more illegals basic services. Food, housing , laundry, Uber⊠tell me what is getting worse. Where I am things are cheaper and more of it . Get out of the blue city and live free in a red state and city.

Things are only cheaper now that they were a few months ago. Not cheaper than when Biden left, and this is a temporary drop. Prices are about to shoot back up soon, thanks to the idiotic, illegal tariffs. |

Ah the old divide and conquer rule? Let's light the blue touch paper and set those people, against that set of people? We will let them argue it out and then our problems will be solved, as they'll never unite fully against the real enemy? The Politicians and the Government! It doesn't matter what party is in Government in the States, they'll all make a mess of it, as that's their plan? The downfall of the American nation. This plan is in action throughout the Countries in Europe also, where the Governments and Politicians, aren't listening to the people anymore. Well, except in Poland and Hungary, but that's the exception. Every country seems to be in a race to destroy itself, it's economy and it's heritage also. You have to ask yourself 'Why, is that the case?"

So far youâve been wrong in all your assumptions about Trump . Prices are cheaper overall than when Biden was in office. The stock market ( which you put much imphasis on) is at all time high . For anybody willing to acknowledge the truth , they notice the lower prices..they notice the the democrats are only out to destroy Trump instead of trying to help the American people , they notice the corruption of the lawless which hunt they use to go after opponents. So Iâll say again the democrats are to damn stupid to understand they are their own worst enemy.

![]() Coffee price hikes expected across the U.S. www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/coffee-price-hikes-expected-across-the-us/ar-AA1JaHkh?ocid=BingNewsVerp For small businesses, cafés, and restaurants, these changes may mean adjusting prices, trimming menus, or sourcing lower-grade beans to stay profitable. For individuals, this could turn a $3 coffee into a $4 habit, or more.

Ludicrous to think prices were lower when Biden left office. Your mind is ambidextrous, left is right and right is left. Show me any proof that anything was cheaper when the numb nuts left office . You democrats make up your own facts.

Not ludicrous. I remember Republicans harping on Biden about inflation, so I noted prices of things in general when he left office to see where we'd go with Trump. The cheapest gas was $3.79/gal. and the organic milk we buy was $7.99/gal.. The cheapest eggs at Trader Joes were $2.49. Now, the cheapest gas is $4.29 (after bounding up to $5.29), milk is $10.49 and eggs are "only" $3.99 (down from $6.99). Maybe I should've taken photos, but it's not like facts shut you up, either. |

Your memory is Biden like..eggs were $6 for a dozen jumbos the beginning of â25, gas was well over $3. Now those same eggs are $3 and gas here is $2.65..that is cheaper .. just cause you say it , doesnât make it trueâŠ

Meanwhile Cheeto Mussolini cannot understand that tariffs are a tax on consumers--Mexico is not going to pay 30% on their exports, but Americans will be paying 30% more. Luckily, our eggs don't come from outside the US, but our coffee from Columbia will get a tax hike of 50%. Trump is an imbecile. |

Meantime Trump is at it again, winning , winning, winning. The art of the deal.. Trump got the EU to invest 600 billion in U.S. and buy 750 billion in energy while still paying 15% tarriffs. Great deal for America. The wins keep coming. Is anybody getting tired of winning yet? |

I think I see your problem. You seem to think President Trump isn't lying. Spoiler: He's lying a lot! Here's an article I found that's only a few days old: Five false claims Trump made about inflation last night www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/politics/fact-check-trump-inflation-lies In a speech Tuesday night to Republican members of Congress, Trump delivered a series of inaccurate assertions on the subject of prices.
He wrongly claimed that gas was selling Tuesday for below $2 a gallon âin five different statesâ (it was actually zero states); that prices are âall downâ (consumer prices are up under Trump); that Democrats are lying when they say prices are up (these Democrats are correct); that grocery prices âare downâ (they are up under Trump); and that core inflation is âbelow 2%â (itâs 2.9%, per the Consumer Price Index). And trump may have claimed to get the EU to invest $600 billion into the US, but there was obviously BS, as laid out in reports. EU vowed $600B US economy investment from Trump trade deal. Hours later, European bloc admitted it canât back that promise www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/eu-vowed-600b-us-economy-investment-from-trump-trade-deal-hours-later-european-bloc-admitted-it-can-t-back-that-promise/ar-AA1JsfMW?ocid=BingNewsVerp The president also claimed that the agreement would bring $600 billion into American coffers by way of investments made by the EU into U.S. companies.
But on Monday, multiple EU officials walked back the massive outlay by noting that it would be made by a variety of private companies over which the bloc has no authority when it comes to corporate spending priorities. Basically the Trump Admin just counted up all the money they expect to be spent in the US that they can find, any time, including decades into the future, and calls that investments in the US from his trade deals, even if that money was already going to be spent, anyway, with or without a deal. |

Are you sure you live in the US ? Because you post things that are completely false. Investments means revenue in the future because of textile mills coming back to the south. Computer chips in Cali. Three new jet production here in NC alone.. america is on its way back to the most prosperous place in the world thanks to President Trump.. No one actually believes the constant lies coming from your one group.. |
