This is the mindset of a cultist. Note the disregard for reality. Note the whataboutism. Note the easy switching from the issues of Epstein, pedophilia, and the gross etceteras. to "what are you doing all day" as if this deflection has any semblance of relevance to tRump's Epstein and pedophiliac victim and insider testimonies that are becoming too numerous to mention.

Let's be clear. Until the Epstein files have been released, UNEDITED, the rest of the MAGAnutz woke discussion is vapor... humorous as it is, blah-blahing. See above.

Lol why are people so triggered by this ad?



This tweet is sarcasm, but apparently people are really upset over this 😂

Because current media campaigns are moving away from the "woke" type ads that often featured morbidly obese fatties, ugly people, mentally retarded people, trannies, and fruit loops and now are leaning towards more the "WASP" genre of advertising that we all grew up on.

The "shaking and vomiting" tweet is a perfect example of the rampant mental illness that runs in western culture nowadays.

It’s booming.

The economy is growing while unemployment is low. Revenue for tariffs = $150 billion.
Other countries will begin buying our products.

Edit- I knew the market isn’t tied to economy but Take a look at your 401k and brokerage accounts.

FTR gas is down overall vs the last 4 years and housing cost are dropping despite lack of rate drop by the fed. Everything you asked except cars and swiss watches (I don't follow watches) is down compared to last 4 years and get close to pre COVID

OK…..TDS on major display.

At least this man works while on his own properties. The last president was either asleep on his beach or falling off his bike at one of his beach houses.

Yes, gas prices have generally decreased over the past year. According to multiple sources, including LendingTreeand NerdWallet, the national average price of gas is down from a year ago.

You truly don’t understand economics. The economy it is booming. Lower interest rates would increase home sales. It’s a simple concept. Trump doesn’t settle. He always thinks things can be better, hence wanting lower interest rates.


Edit - it was recently announced that his tariffs brought in a record of $150 Billion! And, many experts said the economy would collapse by June or July. And, many have admitted they were wrong!

If the economy is booming, you don’t need lower interest rates

Good news for the country ...

From the article:

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.0 percent in the second quarter of 2025 (April, May, and June), according to the advance estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected a decrease in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and an increase in consumer spending.

I didn't know that imports get subtracted to calculate GDP. I have to read up on that to understand the logic.

If lower interest rates will improve it then yeah, we need that. I'll tell you what drives the economy more than anything: housing sales. I've bought a few houses and here's what happens:

1) You hire movers
2) You hire plumbers, electricians, contractors
3) You often go to Home Depot/Lowes
4) You buy furniture at Big Sandy or wherever
5) You real estate agent makes tens of thousands in commissions which he or she spends somewhere

Get the idea? It really catapults the economy into another gear. Lower interest rates could very well do that. Housing sales are still stagnant. It needs a stimulus

it needs for prices to come down. removing most of the labor was the opposite of lowering housing costs. same with tariffs.

Trump has just furthered the government's impact on the price of housing with his own versions of red tape while doing very little, if anything, to reduce the existing red tape.
