Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.
Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.
But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.
Schodinger’s cat applies here. We will never know how good or bad Kamala would have been since she didn’t win. However, since 47 has done so much shit to damage the country in ways worse than imagined, I’d say she’d done better.
BTW, have you ever heard Trump laughing at anything? That’s even weirder IMO.
She would have been better. Biden was an OK president that was ruined by his brazen pro-genocide stance. It doesn’t take a lot to be better than Trump.
I told my friends back in mid-October of 2023 that I thought the Hamas attack was probably 1.) heavily influenced by Russia, and 2.) going to throw the election to Trump or whoever the Republican candidate was going to be unless he could get that thing zipped up and a peace deal in place within a month or two.
So stupid. Biden could have done better so easily. But here we are, I guess, witnessing the oligarchy take over the world, using Trump and Musk as patsy’s, letting hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and Ukrainians die by the hand of genocidal fuckwits.
It’s a competition to destroy the US and your opponent is Donald Trump.
That’s about the only competitive scenario you could put me in vs. Trump and I’d despair that there would be no path to victory for me.
