Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.

Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.

But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.

    People claimed that the tiktok people and the swifties are gonna pull the ship around because they would vote for the younger dynamic more progressive candidates. Turns out, they would rather make tiktoks about it.

      Which canidates?

      You can’t just expect people who were just children to magically figure out how to create a political party to rival global billionaires.

      They need someone young and progressive to vote for. Kamala is neither of those btw

        I know, but the idea was that they would vote for kamala, because it’s the lesser evil. And it would scare the piss out of boomers when they see they are outnumbered

          I think if we are expecting young progressive people to vote for representation they will want at least young or progressive leadership.

          Kamala was neither of those things

          She was the lesser evil, but I think America is sick of choosing evil at all.
