The mainstream media retains attempting to promote Trump: The Sequel as a hit, however more and more, aren’t shopping for it, particularly on the financial system.
CNN’s Harry Enten broke down the most recent financial polling and mentioned in regards to the proportion of people that thought the financial system was wonderful or good, “In April of 2017 it was 40%. Have a look at the place we’re in February of 2025. Simply half that stage, 20%. My goodness gracious, the Time period 1 excessive was 63 % of Individuals in February of 2020 thought the financial system was wonderful or good. This 20 % we have now at present happening proper now could be fewer Individuals saying the financial system is superb or good than at any level in Trump’s first time period.”
The true bother signal got here when respondents had been requested if the financial system was getting higher or worse.
Enten mentioned, “Examine it to the place we had been within the first time period at this level, April of 2017, 53%. The bulk mentioned it was getting higher. How about now in February of 2025? The bulk say it is getting worse. 59 % in comparison with simply 35 % who say it is getting higher. Worse is greater now than at any level in Trump’s first time period, pre-COVID. This quantity, to me, is far more worrisome. Maybe the worst quantity I’ve seen for Trump on the financial system as a result of it says even on the financial system now is not nice. Additionally they undertaking that it is solely going to worsen from right here.”
Trump can’t journey on Obama’s financial coattails like he did throughout his first time period.
What individuals is perhaps beginning to understand is that Joe Biden did a great job maintaining inflation and costs in test and shrinking. Trump has are available fueled inflation with strikes to cut back wages and improve unemployment.
Donald Trump doesn’t have a plan or intend to do something to decrease costs. In reality, Trump claimed that he has nothing to do with inflation.
Trump’s targets had been by no means associated to creating life higher for odd individuals. Trump wished to make the legal indictments go away, ensure that he couldn’t be prosecuted, after which ransack the treasury for himself and his billionaire backers.
Democrats tried to warn the American individuals, however they had been so offended about inflation and prices that they didn’t hear, or they tuned out on the election, and the top consequence was the worst doable end result of a Trump presidency that can damage far more than assist.
To this point, Trump 2.0 has been a catastrophe.
