I'm kinda venting here, but can someone explain wtf we are doing? I just filled up at $4.10/gallon. There seems to be no end in sight with this Iran war (and yes it is a war). You cannot negotiate with radical zealot Muslims. You have to carpet bomb them into the stone age before they give up and negotiate and we don't have the balls or the stomach for it. Trump ran on not starting any new wars or foreign conflicts and all he has done since he got into office is the opposite. I voted for the dude 3 times and he started out his second presidency hot, but it has been very downhill since then. I see now that he wants to bring in 500,000 communist Chinese, and he has no problem with them buying up all our land. His reasoning sucks! No one has gone to jail for all the shite that has happened over the last 10 years. Fraud is absolutely out of control. Our debt is spiraling with no end in sight. Interest rates are still high, job market is not great, and we still do not have secure voting. How exactly are we making America great again here? I hope I'm wrong on all of this and everything turns our really well, but I'm getting tired of this crap. Downvote away, but I'm slowly stepping off the trump train.


BTW, I hope I eat crow for all of this!!! I want to eat crow and be terribly wrong!

The highest national average gas price during the Joe Biden administration peaked at \(\$5.01\) per gallon for regular unleaded fuel, which occurred in mid-June 2022

Is this supposed to make me anyone feel better? We are well on our way to that at this point.

It hurts, but MAGA now stands for $1.5 trillion defense budgets, middle east wars, FISA surveillance, and 500,000 Chinese students in the U.S.A.

Trump deserves as much blame for inflation as the democrats. Spending during his terms has been out of control. This issue belongs to both parties.

Trump miscalculated this thing. He thought it’d a quick in and out.

He thought we could take out the leadership and the people would rise up. They didn’t. There’s no cohesion and the military appears to be in charge.

Add to that the fact that we totally missed the mark on The strait of Hormuz.

All of this on the hope that we’d cancel their nuclear ambitions forever which was supposed to have been taken care of in last June’s bombing….. but wasnt.

I'm pretty sure he said during his victory speech, "I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars."

He should have got weapons to the protestors before they all got slaughtered.

So vote for them again?


Trump was never going to fix the past 40 years overnight. This was always going to have to go beyond Trump.

This is literally from his 2024 campaign platform:
