The fact that he is a convicted criminal on 34 counts should be enough. He’s clearly heavily involved in the Epstein files. People are genuinely scared to go places because of the power he’s given to ICE. It’s harder for many young people to get a college/post-grad education with the limits on loans now. Tariffs have done nothing but harm to the US economy. He’s more worried about getting a Nobel Peace Prize and claiming more territory than actually doing good for the American people

he’s tanked the economy, he just said we don’t have a right to legally carry a gun and can be shot dead for it, he said when you’re famous you can grab women by the pussy, he is a convicted felon, he was best friends w jeffrey epstein and a recent documentary (i think?) came out about a boy he abused, found guilty of sexual abuse in civil court(only not counted as rape because the proven penetration was not by his p****, he thinks all immigrants are criminals and pushes that agenda to his

He has stated he wants to drive up the housing market on purpose for people who already own houses. Future generations will be struggling hard to own houses. He doesn’t care about making things attainable for the poor, he just wants the rich to get richer.

One way is by comparing similar Trump policy actions with past presidents. Take immigration enforcement: Obama utilized BP & ICE efficiently by focusing BP at the border (migration crisis), ICE on criminal undocumented immigrants, and DACA = $20B/yr budget Obama’s results were higher, LEGAL, deportation cases with barely any media. Trump cuts corners by 1) circumventing due process & rights of undocumented immigrants & citizens, 2) has a focus on publicity/media not tangible results = $50B/yr

i do like this argument but the only fall out with this is that we don’t know for sure if obama results were higher since he had 8 consecutive years while this is trumps first full year back in office since 2020, obamas way was more effective with keeping illegal criminal immigrants out, but i do feel like trump will eventually deport wayyyy more by the time he is done with this term. but this is obviously because he is deporting anyone, not just criminals. so i do see what you mean by affective

You clearly have no clue how the market works, respectfully. Index markets worry about fiscal policy aka what the Fed does with overnight rates, expectations on future rates, and liquidity in financial plumbing. Trump can absolutely move the market intra day with his stupid ass tweets, but it’s not directly him that inflates markets lmao. If you want to talk about unemployment, inflation, that’s another story. But the markets have hit all time highs while all these pressures exist.

I didn’t say President’s dictate the economy. Presidents can only partially influence the economy. Congress has even more influence, and The Fed has the most control but doesn’t exist in a bubble. Their argument is on Trump influence as president, which is why I asked for compared to which recent president.

saying its pointless is exactly why we have a divide and it’s exactly why they never grow. i never understood people just saying “that’s how they are just leave it” it’s because they have never had a true genuine debate where people have the patience to go over things with them. if u don’t have these important conversations with them, they’ll only think “my point is right and that’s why nobody can tell me otherwise” these convos get their gears moving whether they show it or not.

deporting illegal immigrants who are “CRIMINALS” (even though he’s been deporting many innocent people) when trump himself was convicted on 34 counts. remember obamas speech? we have always deported illegal immigrants who went against the law. never has it been this controversial. why do you think? how many innocent people have ice agents shot so far as these mass deportations begun? much more than other presidents i assure you.

That’s not even true😭😭, DXY is at ~96 so you’re right about the dollar weakening, but Japan, Canada, and several others have INCREASED investments in US bonds just this year. Just because gold is up doesn’t mean nobody wants US treasuries, they’re just diversifying risks, which is normal behavior given our debt dynamics. But saying global investors aren’t interested in American assets is factually false which ever way you want to put it.

The fed doesn’t correlate to what presidents say or do, correct. But it absolutely controls reserves, and its balance sheet. The issue has nothing to with a lack of control or ‘not existing in a bubble’, that’s nonsense. The feds current problem is a result of their own doing during COVID times when they felt the need to print a dumb amount of money, and now our debt is sky high, our gov deficits are only growing, and plumbing in overnight markets are sensitive

Meaning the Fed locked themselves into a corner essentially, you can’t just undo that amount of printing the did. They had rates near zero and pumped trillions of dollars, rates near zero means everybody borrows, so debt at low rates good at the time, but we see the result now. Printing again would crush the bond market, but raising rates again would kill anybody trying to get cash, the system the Fed created is why we’re here. Has nothing to do with politics
