Let him do his job?
In other words, you hire someone to fix your toilet, and he begins by tearing down the entire house, you are going to sit back and "let him do the job"?
People who are proven to be incompetents, should never be allowed to "do the job" because they will bring additional and bigger problems than what you presently have.

Why is it that Trump supporters never question anything he does and yet they criticize EVERYTHING that any Democrat does?
Trump HISTORY has shown more failures than successes and the support
Let me be clear
Ever since I can remember, each and every administration and president has been there to change something that is wrong. There is always something wrong and there will always be something wrong, given that all of us are human being and there is not one human being that is perfect. In fact, most human being and most administrations are corrupt, wasteful, and somewhat incompetent.
Having a new administration come in and try/attempt to change of fix the problems that exist is what it should be. Fixing the government bureaucracy is good. There IS a lot of waste and corruption and incompetence, or at least lack of ability or desire to change things for the better.
Having said that, no one can ever change humans, meaning that we all have to carefully study and evaluate whether the right changes are occurring and if they are for the better and not for the worse.
That is the absolute key................not for the worse.
In order to make changes for the better, you need more of a scalpel than a chainsaw. Perfection is not possible and therefore you need to be exact in targeting the problems that can be fixed (or improved) and do it, while understanding that bad things will continue to happen (not be totally resolved).
In simple words, improvement means more good than bad but understanding that both will continue to exist no matter what.
This requires a smart and intelligent person, that works closely with others (listens to them and listens to their advice), that works with the opposition (comprise), and that keys on the things that can be changed without destroying it all.
None of this applies to Trump!!!!!!!!!
From day one, I have clearly stated that my beef is not with either party, it is not with the issues themselves (though I do have a "few" issues I do believe in, over others) or with trying to fix things.
My issue is with Trump himself, as a person.
His entire history has been to make things worse than they were before (with very few exceptions), and it isn't just with the incompetence he shows but with the fact that he has no morals, ethics, principles or humanity (he is a narcissist), meaning that he does not care when things go wrong. He does not care who he hurts or the damage he creates.
Such a person brings the kind of danger to the nation (as he has caused to other people) that is irreparable and long lasting.
None of his supporters care enough to consider this fact and as such, will allow him to damage our country, more than any benefit he will bring, and let him do what he wants. Unfortunately, once the damage is done, it will not be able to be fixed by any future administration. When someone dies, he cannot be brought back to life.
Get rid of Trump and then we can all sit down and find ways to make our nation better (not perfect, of course).

Gawd almightly!!! when are all of you Trump supporters going to stop misinterpreting my posts and thinking I am saying one thing that I am not.

Of course the opposition has no interest in changing anything, it would disrupt their gravy train, the first thing congress needs to do is outlaw federal employee unions. Even FDR said they wouldn't be good for the country.

50/50. But if we have a recession, the fact is that we have never seen a President purposely stick a knife in our gut like this. He had already wrecked our relationships with our former friends and allies, and then he turns the entire global trade system and economy on its fucking head. All in just two months.
Damn near looks like he planned and wanted this.

Federal employee unions do not have collective bargaining rights, so why are you bitching? They take what Congress gives them.

Do you even understand what the word stagflation means? Here:
"Stagflation is the combination of slow economic growth, high unemployment, and a high rate of inflation."
- Inflation had dipped under 4% by June of 2023, it was less than 3% for much of 2024.
- GDP growth rate was 2.5% in 2023 and 2.4%. That is solid if unspectacular economic growth. Over four years 2017-2021 it average 1.4%.
- Unemployment rate in 2023 was 3.6%, and in 2024 4.0%. That is considered full employment.
You're throwing terms around you've probably heard on Newsmax and sound silly regurgitating them because it doesn't make sense. By no measure has there been any staglfation, you would have to hit all three of those measures.
During the stagflation of the late 70s inflation rose as high as 12.4%, GDP growth was often negative, and unemployment stayed above 5%, often going higher than 7-9%. That is stagflation. Stop using the word stagflation when you don't even understand what it means.
