How trump has lowered the bar for personal conduct.

[schmidlap]

You've whipped up a good manufactured outrage.

Think you can keep it up till the mid terms?

I don't think you can.

I intend to continue to respect public sentiment.

U.S. had almost no job growth in 2025​

U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025

The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

GDP at 4.4%. And with deportations, that is going to be putting massive upwards pressure on wages.

Trump’s support from independent voters has dropped to a new low across both terms in office, according to the latest Economist/YouGov poll.​

​

The survey, conducted over the weekend, shows Trump’s net job approval among independents at negative 40 percentage points, with 27 percent approving and 67 percent disapproving.​

This is especially auspicious.

Your worship eschews all public opinion surveys.

I asked you a question. YOu ignored it.

Because you didn't want to answer it.


What is likely to happen, imo, is once the hysteria dies down, especially as the mob starts hearing about how some of their people are getting real jail times, for their real crimes, FEDERAL crimes that Trump is not going to give them a pass on,


then the campaigns start and people start talking about the issues and the results of Trump's policies.

The numbers will be good and that will jive with the way people's lives will be FEELILNG.


The crime drop by itself will be huge. And that will easily be tied to the deportations.


HOw many black lives a year does a 20% drop in murder save?


Lets see, average murders of 20k a year, blacks accounting for about half of the victims....


SO, half of 20k is 10,000 black lives a year.


Then what is twenty percent of that?


Probably not enough for you to care about.

Which is inflationary. Meaning the thing driving the market higher, the expectation of at least two more rate cuts to help the foundering economy, won't happen.

BTW, without the AI/data center buildout GDP would be more than cut in half.

Data centers fueled nearly all 2025 US GDP growth, highlighting their rising impact on AI-driven economic expansion.

As for the markets, the increased profitability of companies in the S&P is largely driven by AI related efficiency and the benefits from the tax cut with its disastrous long term consequences for the national debt.

I'll continue to respect the objective data, and note the MAGA impotence is citing any voter surveys that are not corroborative.

Biden inappropriately showering with his daughter disturbed her so much she put it in her diary.

LEFTIES ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL CONDUCT.



GTFO

 

[Correll]

Which is inflationary......

So, you, speaking for the Left, are against higher wages for workers?

I was right, 2,000 black lives saved a year, is not even worth mentioning to you.


Strange that blacks still vote for people like you.

You can pretend to speak for Black or any other American voters If you need to.

You can even insist that all Americans really like Trump's racist postings.

I'll continue to have confidence in all the independent corroborative surveys.

You appear to be unable to cite any.

I was simply pointing out higher wages are inflationary. Deflections don't change that economic maxim.

 

[Independent thinker]

Perhaps that wasn't phrased very well. Lowering the bar implies there is still room beneath it. Not so with trump. It isn't possible to go lower than having an adulterous affair with a porn star 4 months after your wife gave birth. Or stealing from a charity when you are a wealthy person. Who does that? Admitting to grabbing women by the ***** in the context of being accused by 26 women of sexual predation.........there's no floor under that.

So it isn't surprising to see defenders of all things Don gleefully cheer there being no revelations of him diddling any 15 year old girls in the parts of the Epstein files that have been released. Absent that, because the standard of behavior for him is in the dirt, nothing else matters.

President Donald Trump is mentioned more than 1,000 times in the 3 million Jeffrey Epstein documents released Friday, after the president initially resisted the effort. While some of the references are benign, others include newly disclosed unverified sexual assault claims against Trump as well as fresh details about how some of Epstein’s victims described their interactions with the future president.

Most notably, the newly released documents contain a list of unverified assault allegations against Trump compiled by FBI officials last year. There are also FBI notes about a woman who accused Trump in a lawsuit of raping her when she was 13, and an FBI interview with one of Epstein’s victims who stated that Epstein’s accomplice Ghislane Maxwell once “presented her” to Trump at a party.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/31/politics/new-documents-trump-epstein

trump fans will ask, "Where are the photos of him raping a 13 year old girl?" Because the act of befriending a sexual trafficker of young women and girls who had relations with under aged girls gets a pass. As does everything else. Would a trump fan like to take a swing at explaining why?

All that really matters is how the country is running and it is running great udner Trump. I don't care how low he lowers the bar as long as the country is doing well.

...

I could, but I didn't.

What I did do, was shown how Trump's policies are saving thousands of black lives a year, and how you don't care about that at all.


AT ALL.

GDP at 1.4%.

 

[Correll]

GDP at 1.4%.

For the quarter. Last year, was 4.4%.

And keep in mind, you people were predicting a RECESSION.

That would be TWO QUARTERS of NEGATIVE growth.

AI Overview

U.S. real GDP grew 2.2% for the full year of 2025, slowing from 2.8% in 2024, with Q4 2025 growth hitting 1.4% amid a government shutdown.

After the recent 1.4% print and higher than expected PPI an 0.08% there are concerns about stagflation. With tariffs causing inflation keeping the Fed from lowering rates to stimulate a sagging economy.

trump's plan to fix all that. Attack Iran.

Stagflation?

Everything I have seen is that wages are increasing faster than inflation.
