  1. Good luck to everyone who just retired or had planned to retire in the next 5 years. Trumpenomics considers you collateral damage.

    If only there had been warnings of what Trump would do and it’s impact on everyone…

  2. Vladimir Putin couldn’t have scripted this any better: Break up the Western NATO alliance (check), send the western economy into collapse (check), and convince the US to walk away from Ukraine (check).

  3. “We are living in dangerous times where we need a president who has the ability to competently and effectively protect the nation”

    Funny how all the people who said Joe Biden was too senile to run the country are mysteriously silent while Trump is nonsensically destroying everyone’s investment portfolios. Makes you wonder if they’re in on the scam.

    https://www.heritage.org/the-constitution/commentary/the-25th-amendment-and-disabled-president

    1. It was always projection. They knew Trump was a crazy, senile old fart, so they needed to push the narrative that Biden was even worse (even though Biden could actually form a sentence). They needed to condition the American public for a crazy man.

  4. Trusk being senile isn’t the issue or problem. The issue is that Mumps and the MAGAt and MUSKrats Trusk put in positions of power have every intent of doing whatever they feel they must do to pave the way for lower interest rates and lower taxes on the wealthy.

    Interestingly, a consevative political group has filed suit in Florida federal court, claiming Trusk’s use of the federal act represents an unconstitutional usurpation of Congressional power, in that the enabling statute delegates Congress’ role in raising tariffs and taxes. This Court has held such improper use of delegated power is unconstitutional when it comes to “liberal” ideas like consumer protection and investor protection. Talk about taking your medicine. The precedent was established over the last 8 or so years by the MAGAts, and now they’ll have to take it….

    1. Timothy, the way you post comments does nothing but turn people off and alienate them. It would be nice if you posted comments like an adult instead of a child and all the name calling.
