So you didn't look it up. Love it.

Why should I?

How can anyone talk to someone as delusional as you?

U.S. consumer sentiment plummeted to an all-time low of 49.8 in April 2026, according to the University of Michigan survey. Driven by anxiety over the war in Iran, high inflation, and surging energy costs, this sentiment is lower than levels seen during the pandemic and 2008 financial crisis, highlighting deep economic concern across all demographics.

Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Reaches All-Time Low​

Recent polling indicates a significant portion of Republicans, often cited around 37% in some studies, report that the economy is not working well for them personally, despite general partisan trends, according to a December 2025 Marist Poll and April 2026 UMass Amherst reporting. This dissatisfaction is largely driven by high costs for essentials such as gas, utilities, and groceries.


Only 20% of you?

Republicans who say they are MAGA supporters — only 20% say the economy is getting worse.

Two years of constant anti-Trump, anti-American propaganda is having an effect.

Really, people need to stop listening to leftards. At all.

If this is us winning, you're insane pal. Boy will you swallow anything. Yes, we are the enemy. Not the guy costing you all the raise money you claim you got when trump ran all the illegals out.

 

[sealybobo]

Wow. One post you attack me for mentioning recession, and the next you attack me USING recession.


You lefties, you just don't give a **** about how bad you look, at all.

You are just as stupid as you were in 2008

As of May 2026, the U.S. appliance industry is experiencing a "recession-level industry decline" due to heightened consumer anxiety from the conflict in Iran, with shipments falling 7.4% in Q1 and consumer demand dropping 15%. This downturn, affecting big-ticket items, is comparable to the 2008 financial crisis.

Intellectual curiosity is not your strong point I take it.

You mean Iran? For closing the straits? Or our tradiing "partners" who just won't give up their unfair advantages?

So, do you admit then that my point, that AVOIDING A RECESSION so far, is good news?

 

[Correll]

I will review the economic results of Trump's policies, when we are closer to the midterm.

But to be honest, considering that the dems are both completely bat shit crazy, and insanely anti-white racists, and anti-American scum of the earth,

there is not change that I am not voting GOP.

What I’m seeing is the economy is all theater. The rich control it and manipulate it and us.

The slightest thing goes wrong on Biden and the stock market freaks out. Trump does all this and it’s still booming? It’s all bs.

Plus trumps given them deregulation and tax breaks. That’s all going to negatively affect you dope

And meanwhile 71% of us say this economy is not working for us. Do you admit that?

The rich who's side you are on. The rich who YOU support in their desire for cheap third world labor adn "free trade".

I'm not really following you here.

Ok, you're doing it again. You make it personally about my direct personal interests, and it I respond to our point, then you are like

"Oh, you got yours, you don't give a **** about others"


Which is really, just a form of circular evasion of facing the real issues.

And meanwhile 71% of us say this economy is not working for us. Do you admit that?

THat number may or may not be real. But if it is real, that bad, that fast, then it is from PROPAGANDA, not real changes in the economy.


We have still not had that recession, that you libs were all on about.

Last I heard, wages were doing better than inflation.
