If voters don’t feel relief, the economy isn’t fixed

[struth]

The trail from his ******* chaotic tariff fiasco leads right to the layoffs and slowdowns. The companies' financial reports are clear.

They will never admit it, no matter what proof is provided, because (a) they get their "financial information" from MAGA media and (b) they're Trumpsters who don't know shit about markets & macroeconomics.

4.3 percent GDP growth and only 2.7 percent inflation…haha yeah that recession

NPR is an outlier poll

OK

Show a poll where the public approves of the economy

 

[Mac1958]

Economic numbers are promising
Strong GDP, Record Stock Market

But the rising economy only seems to be helping the wealthy.
Trickle down is not working

The average worker looks at what it costs to take their wife to dinner and a movie and passes on it

The average worker looks at new car prices and decides to keep that 10 year old car running

The average worker looks at the cost to buy a house and realizes it is out of their league.

The average worker looks at their paycheck and sees meager pay raises as their costs keep rising

You can’t fool people about the economy

The goddamn sad thing is that he hasn't helped his flock (outside of his 1% supporters).

Except it isn't. I know denial is strong in Alt-Right Nation, but maybe you'll take the word of the people who actually made an industry out of polling..the OG's.

Americans End Year in Gloomy Mood

Americans usher out 2025 with low approval of their leaders, worsening economic views, and sharp partisan divides after the shutdown.

NOTE - When I saw that Trump was rated higher for leadership than honesty, I busted out laughing.

The question is who they approve to handle it

And I’ve show where the Dems have historically low approval ratings

Voters are a fickle bunch

They have a “throw the bum out” mentality
That is why we get wild swings from one party to the other every four years

If voters don’t feel relief, the economy isn’t fixed | Blaze Media

Voters aren’t watching charts and graphs. They’re watching their bills. If families still feel squeezed, no amount of economic spin will matter in 2026.

If voters don’t feel relief, the economy isn’t fixed​

The concerns of many Americans about their economic well-being may be at the highest level since the Great Depression. Politico recently reported that 46% of Americans say their cost of living is the worst that they can remember, including over one-third of Trump voters. Nothing better exemplifies this than the many “30-somethings” who are unable to purchase a home.

Financial anxieties center around affordability, which is the proxy for evaluating whether the economy is meeting the public’s needs. Affordability is the degree to which households can responsibly pay for essential goods and services.

Gregg Ip, an economic commentator for the Wall Street Journal, says that affordability cannot be measured solely by economic data, but must also account for perceptions of financial security.

President Trump opined that concerns about affordability are a “hoax” created by Democrats for political purposes. Most Americans would disagree. While the runaway inflation of the Biden presidency has moderated, widespread concerns about affordability persist. According to a recent Politico poll, nearly half of the nation found the cost of their groceries, health care, utilities, and housing to be unaffordable. About half of the respondents said food costs are difficult to manage, and more than a quarter skipped medical appointments because of the cost.

In the 2026 midterm elections, it will be incumbent upon Republicans and Democrats to make an affordability agenda “job one.” These agendas should be the yardstick voters use to cast their vote for members of Congress and state officials.

I disagree. All the Left has to do is continue to destroy the US from within with spending like a drunken sailor, while "fixing" everything by trying to give away even more things as "free".

But as we all know, or at least should, nothing is ever free. The price for continuing to offer "free" things is a cost voters never reckon on paying.

And for Trump to say that the hurting economy is a hoax is not helping him. No, it is the exact opposite.

And yes, under Biden unaffordability hit new record heights as the DNC contributed to much of it, but Trump is President now and must fix it overnight or meet a horrible fate in the midterms.

For the Left, they could not be happier as they will see both Trump and a free market collapse altogether.

That was always the goal.

So the consequences of making bad decisions for year's is somehow the government's fault ???? Trends and generational inheritance squander has been a real thing in this country for decades now. Bad governance by Democrats grooming and steering this nation into a ditch and right on into chaos was by design.

Hopefully 2026 will begin the march back towards the light, but if certain thing's are allowed to remain intact and in play, otherwise that continuously undermines the country and it's culture, then it will become a march straight into hell.

Which means exactly..nothing.
Trump owns this economy. And people aren't happy with him.
So..in 2028, a Democrat will get elected and have to once again, fix a mess that a Republican made.

 

[sparky]

It would appear the problem is the metric used for 'economy' ......we read eggs, gas, housing, gold, silver , petrodollar ,disparity ......etc being singled out all the time ....~S~

 

[Mac1958]

I hope to one day find out all the names of those who enabled the orange buffoon's insane tariff crusade.

Optimizing trade agreements? Absolutely. Always.

Do it like a spastic caveman? No. Of course not. Obviously.

 

[Votto]

Just can't do it, can you?
Can't admit that this economy belongs to your savior. He created it.
Biden left him with a recovering economy....after Trump destroyed it in his first term.

Most voters in bright red states will walk into the polls..and vote for the same white Republicans who've done
nothing for them in decades. Because, that's what they are conditioned to do. ^Shrug^.

Shutting down the entire world economy has caused worldwide inflation.

It has very little to do with Trump, I can assure you.

But the reason why no one talks about it, is because both parties particiapted, as it was being championed by the very media that should tell you the truth regarding the matter.

Only Sweden, of all countries, refused to shut down their economy, and they were just fine.

Had the world followed their lead, much of the inflation you see before you would not exist.

And guess what, the same bad actors are no doubt ready to shut down the world economy for something else as well.

If Trump crusaded to lower tariffs, ours and theirs, we'd all be better off but he never had clear goals, if any. The few times he said we were being taken advantage of from other nations, he never lowered their tariffs. He just raised ours.

He is STILL saying that the other countries are paying the tariffs. He's lying to the country's face. He's lying about the amount collected by a factor of about 90 (it's about $200 billion, not $18 trillion). His tariffs have often been punitive, with nothing backing them up other than his typical childlike emotions.

He's caused chaos throughout global financial markets, he's WRECKED our relationships with our (former) friends with threats, mockery and punishment. And he's put a huge financial burden on the backs of American employers, who have responded the only way they could, with layoffs and hiring freezes.

Is he on Putin's payroll?

 

[wamose]

The goddamn sad thing is that he hasn't helped his flock (outside of his 1% supporters).

If the 2020 election hadn't been stolen, this inflation would never have happened. Trump would have had our economy rocking from 20-24, and without the 20 million illegal aliens that Biden invited in.

 

[my2¢]

The price for continuing to offer "free" things is a cost voters never reckon on paying.

And that pretty much hits the nail on the head. All those in Washington from the President on down shift the fiscal irresponsibility down the line to future generations. The end of excessive spending isn't going to stop until the taxpayers are held responsible and they have to reckon with the consequences.

Trump: This is the best economy we’ve ever had. (10/9/25)

He's a ******* liar and the ignorant rubes don't care.

As always.

You're willfully being a retard.

No one cares about what Trump SAYS at this point. He is DOING SHIT.

The early numbers are looking good. Great even.

YOu need to be less of a dick.
