Trump is putting on a master class on the economy

If tweet fails to load, click here. As I have said repeatedly, we were heading into a major depression before Trump won. The low and middle income consumers were tapped out.
Most of the economic spending was coming from government and high income groups. It was unsustainable and while the massive inflation that Biden unleashed was starting to drop it was mostly due to a lack of demand as the low and middle income consumers were priced out of the economy.
Homes, cars, fast food, groceries, energy, etc were all too expensive for those two groups to engage in the economy. Some of them are still to expensive for those groups but its getting better.
This is why you had CRs for this year. Cutting goverment spending by a major amount during that time would have been suicide. It's why Trump unleashed the energy sector, pushed for tax cuts for those priced out of the economy, cracked down on illegal immigration, instituted a world wide tariff, and started a massive deregulation effort.
Wages needed to come up, government spending needed to be cut on supporting illegals and redirected benefit the low and middle income citizens. Foreign investment needed to happen to restart the economy without massive gov spending increases.
The economy needed to be rebalanced and so far the results have been amazing.
Trump changed the trajectory of the economy from heading into a recession/depression to a growing expanding one.
(BTW, this is why the dems, doomers and panicans were predicting a recession. It really had little to do with trade. They just didn't think Trump could fix the economy, and were banking on blaming his tariffs for the sorry state Biden and the dems left the economy in.

Hate to break it to you it is worse than it was a year ago. A year ago people were getting jobs. Better than Biden because socially Trump ain’t psycho, but the economy sucks for my workers.

Groceries go down, especially meat, when these monopolies are busted up. Tyson, cargill, etc are burying farmers on the front end and the back. Private equity buying up homes need to stop.

Yes & no. Layoffs were/are very much real, although as others have said, it is a lot to do with industries selling financed goods previously bought by either illegals getting money, or government employees now fired, or PPP loan fraud, the list goes on
But things like outsourcing and tech jobs being given wholly to India are a huge problem that nobody wants to address.

Problem is the lower class. The bums dont wanna work. To much handouts in the past. For just about every illegal deported, there's a job of some sort opened
That being said, AI is an issue thats hitting now...its making job cutbacks easier than ever.

You don’t need deodorant unless you’re a foreigner.

There is no such thing as an unbalanced budget. If it's not paid for in taxes, it's paid for with inflation.
Inflation is a delayed effect because it doesn't show up until after the money has been initially spent. It can take 18+ months to see the real effects.
And since we haven't cut government spending and we are increasing the national debt, it means Trump has an economic policy of inflation.
Also, much of the inflation we got under Biden was because of Trumps spending in 2020.
In short - we MUST reduce government spending if we really want to see an improvement. We are in the opposite conditions of the Great Depression.

Tech jobs and IT jobs are hard to get due to the administration's India first focus
And then Con Inc counters by saying to deal with it and go learn a trade

It doesn’t matter how sound or effective Republican economic policies may be, politics is ultimately driven by voter perception.
Recent national polling shows that a majority of Americans continue to rate the economy negatively and believe things are getting worse, not better.
If that perception doesn’t shift soon, Democrats are well positioned to retake the House and gain Senate seats in 2026. That would leave the President facing another cycle of investigations, and obstruction. And once Washington falls back into two years of nonstop investigations, Republicans risk losing the presidency and potentially the Senate, forcing the country right back toward the Biden-era economic and immigration policies that created this economic crisis.
Yes, some may argue Trump hasn’t made changes “fast enough,” but with razor-thin majorities, bureaucratic resistance, and constant left wing judges putting holds on every little thing, dramatic reforms simply can’t happen at lightning speed. The policies are directionally correct, what’s missing is voter understanding of the long-game.
If Republicans want a shot at fixing this mess long term, the focus must shift toward shaping public perception: explaining what’s already improving, what’s in motion, why real economic fixes take time, and cut out all the stupid infighting. Without that shift in perception, even the best policies won’t survive the next election cycle.

Or for people like me, we are living it
Indians are to tech jobs as Mexicans are to blue collar jobs
And the current administration wants MORE indians taking our jobs

And you think Democrats are going to stop Indian immigration?
I’m not saying the Trump administration is perfect. I’m saying it’s clearly better than the alternative, an alternative we just lived through under a so-called ‘moderate’ Democrat steering economic policy. And if we lose, that’s exactly what we’ll get all over again, or worse.

I wouldn't be surprised if populist democrats begin to run on an anti H1B platform to get votes
The administration and GOP is very vulnerable in this area right now
Vivek's opponent who is a democrat in Ohio has begun to run against Vivek on H1Bs and immigration
