Not cold hearted, making hard decisions, like a competent CEO.
The US is sinking into a $37T debt hole that will bankrupt us, and crash the dollar.
Just imagine that your money is worthless, that is what Trump is trying to stop.
You supported the job loss of those during covid, the coal miners and the pipeline workers then, but not government workers now?
The left have lost their collective minds
news to me that "I SUPPORTED...." are you high?
Do you approve Of Donald Trump's decisions and performance on the job as President in his 2nd term?
Below are just a few of the reasons I disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as President in his 2nd term!
In Donald Trump's 2nd term, he has rapidly moved to try and cut federal government spending by taking a chainsaw to government programs and agencies. USAID had 10,000 employees and is being cut down to just 300 and moved into the State Department. USAID was vital to U.S. National Security and global security, because it provided services that were important to helping people in other countries develop as well as preventing major outbreaks of disease. People will suffer and die because of this foolish cut and China will be attempting to fill the gap that the United States is leaving in the third world which will weaken U.S. power and influence. This is just one area of the damaging cuts that Trump and his doge team have done to this point. Donald Trump is also now considering a 20% cut to the Active United States Army's size. This will weaken the United States military to the point that it will not be able to fulfill its mission in protecting U.S. National Security.
On immigration, Donald Trump has launched a massive deportation effort that could eventually send millions of U.S. workers back to other countries making the labor shortage worse which will cause inflation to rise as production fails to keep up with consumer demand.
On Trade, Trump Tariffs are the worse since just before the Great Depression and will move the United States into a recession before the end of the year. These tariffs function as a new tax of several thousand dollars on lower and middle income Americans. GDP growth will decline, unemployment will rise, in addition to a rise in inflation. The probability of the first global depression in nearly a century is rising.
On Foreign Policy, Defense Policy, and National Security, Donald Trump has abandoned 80 years of U.S. Foreign Policy and Defense Policy where the United States supported NATO and helped to defend Europe from Soviet/Russian aggression. He has sided with Russia and North Korea on UN Resolutions at the United Nations with regards to Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. For 10 days he cut U.S. aid and U.S. intelligence to Ukraine that is fighting for its survival against a brutal Russian invasion. If Ukraine is defeated by the Russian invasion and taking over by Russia, the probability rises that Russia will next invade NATO European countries starting World War III. If World War III starts, the probability of a nuclear war goes up dramatically. Donald Trump's actions on Ukraine are hurting its ability to defend itself and helping the Russian Federation to take over Ukraine and then potentially invade NATO Europe.

That's OH, wait, this is shit talk, isn't it?
I though, based on the thread title this would be discussing HYPOTHETICAL results, depending on how this all play out, over the next two years.
But, no this is trying to spin final results based on partisan takes on a ball while it is bouncing.

Trumps cuts are only hurting the American government and people who need these services. The best way to deal with the Budget Deficit and Debt is to grow the economy. Bring in more tax revenue to pay for what is needed, balance the budget, and create a surplus of money that can be used for a variety of needs including reducing the national debt. But to do that, you need to increase taxes on the wealthy and pursue government policy that will increase GDP growth. This is primarily how the Clinton administration balanced the budget in the 1990s and achieved surpluses. It's also how the United States brought down its debt to GDP ratio from 121% in 1945 at the end of World War II, to just 33% in Jimmy Carter's last year in office in 1980.

This forum is not representative of how the American people feel.
The latest Gallup poll has Trump approval and disapproval numbers of:
Approval 43%
Disapproval 53%
Trump's approval rating in the GALLUP poll is declining each month. For April it may go as a low as 39%.
USMB is a Trumper haven. Still, predict at some point even people here will start to turn on Trump. But were not at that point yet for this place.

Nuthin' but the truth
Couple of questions here....
We export products to Cambodia, and they tariff our products at a rate of 97%.
1. Why shouldn't our tariffs be equal to what they do to our goods we ship them?
2. Shouldn't trade be fair?
Every time we buy goods made from Cambodia, we, the tax payer are paying to subsidize Cambodia...
The problem with your argument is that it's fear mongering....
Trump has said he's willing to negotiate with any country that the tariffs would be imposed on. So, all they have to do is come in and talk with President Trump, and reach a deal that includes not ripping off the American consumer...Simple....

1. Making the government more efficient by bringing it from the 1900s to 2025 will cut waste. The government retirement system is still paper stored in an old mine. That is beyond ridiculous. No services are being cut, just made more efficient.
2. Agree that growing the economy is crucial, which is why taxes need to be cut and government spending needs to be cut to keep more money in the private sector to invest in growth.
3. Balancing the Budget, as Clinton and Newt did, requires less spending and more revenue. Maybe the Freedom Caucus will insist on higher taxes, like less SALT, and a top rate of 40% (up 1%)?
4. My favorite new taxes are: a new Remittance Tax (+$6b) on all money sent out of the US to pay for the wall, a new 0.2% Transaction Tax (+$150b) on all financial transactions, close all "loop-holes" (+$1.5T), remove capital gains loop-hole (+$100b), remove the cap on SS, net neutral but saves SS, and the "break glass option" is to send Welfare to the states in phases saving $1.3T a year. Added together equals $3T in new revenue a year.
5. Someone else's new tax idea is to remove all deductions so that everyone takes the standard deduction.

You said Ukraine had 100 brigades. They have 3. You have no clue as the bullshit you are spewing.
I said you are dismissed.

You're right about that, but not for the reasons you want to have us believe...
Funny, when we pointed out that Biden's numbers were in the tank, y'all told us they were "just snapshots of moments in time"... Why is it different now?
Or, it could go back up to above 50%....Your speculation is in no way, nor should it be taken as anything other than biased speculation.
USMB is a site that 1. does lean right, but 2. has a very vocal leftist contingent, and moderation team.
Now, are there circumstances that could turn Trump's approval? Sure. The American voter is fickle, and if they believe that things are not getting better for their personal circumstance, then he could be under pressure...
However, with Democrats and the partisan media constantly bombarding them with lies, gaslighting, and fear mongering, there is a good chance that people could just as easily turn against Democrats, that have no ideas, a poor message, and seemingly no real leadership...

1. This forum is in-fact how Americans feel, considering that democrats are toxic at a forever low of 21% approval.
2. Trump at 43% is still almost double the Biden-Harris right-track 25% vs Wrong-track 75%
3. USMB is open to everyone, not just Republicans. Based on 80% - 20% issues the democrats are wrong, and Republicans are right.
Don't make excuses -accept the undeniable FACTS.
