Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The real idiot in this scenario are the people listening to an orange painted clown talk to them about politics and war.
‘I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation’
We know, trump. Unless its wrapped in gold or a bribe he doesn't care.
One day that man will drift off at the Resolute Desk, never to wake up again, and it will be live on camera.
Could he at least drift off walking down the steps of Air Force One? I need at least a LITTLE comeuppance.
You paint a lovely picture friend
We can only hope.
I really hope so. I'm so tired of these evil people constantly getting away with this shit. Not just Trump, but the whole Epstein class as well. What a sick joke of a country. I wish karma and religions were true after all because these people should be considered reincarnated forms of Satan and tossed in a cell forever.
The issue is then we get Vance, who's nakedly for sale to whomever gets him more power. Yes, he's got the charisma of a used napkin, but he doesn't need it by now - the SCOTUS has decided that the President can simply rule by decree, and any approvals will simply be nodded along because the GOP is opposed to TRUMP, not to fascism at large.
Poor old Resolute suffering one last indignity under him.
Wasn't lower the cost of groceries part of his platform on 2024?
He was very open in interviews during/after his first term about how he didn't actually care about his campaign promises, but went with whatever got the best response from the crowds. IIRC he directly stated this about the whole "lock her up" movement he spearheaded. Somehow those confessions never made headlines.
I don't know why the Democrats didn't simply run ads showing all the times he crapped on his own movement and supporters. There's easily enough content for an entire series of ads and it'd be way more effective than anything they actually ran (aside from Waltz pointing out how weird they are, which the party made him stop doing despite it being the single most effective part of the 2024 Democratic campaign).
I now why, because they're controlled opposition and complicit.
Platform?
Where are the conservatives now? Crickets
They're in a cult. They won't say anything.
Many of them are, but most are afraid of the cult. They'll put their own future electability ahead of any amount of damage to the country or its institutions.
I don't think about Americans ~~ financial situation ~~
Fixed.
Edit: I can't get the fucking strike thru to work. You get my point.
He doesn't care about anything that is in the job description of the president of the US. Every private company would fire him if he would be performing the way he is.
You say that but Elon Musk is out there running like 46 companies right now so... I'm not sure I buy it
I'm sure that soundbite won't come back to haunt him.
“Anybody that wants them to have a nuclear weapon is a stupid person. So we said we're going to take the greatest stock market in history and we're going to go down a little bit. And actually that turned out to be incorrect, because our stock market is now at the highest point in history, which frankly, surprised a lot of people,” he said.
The stock market is up because of the AI boom. Trump didn't have much to do with the AI boom.

AI Stocks Drive Nearly All of S&P 500’s Gains, Data Reveals
The S&P 500 has surged to fresh record highs in 2026, powering through milestone after milestone as Wall Street toasts another banner year.
Strip out the artificial intelligence stocks, though, and the rally all but disappears, leaving a market that has gone essentially nowhere since February.
S&P 500 ex-AI Index Flat Since February as Benchmark Climbs 8%
BeInCrypto recently reported that AI-linked stocks now account for a record 45% of the S&P 500’s market capitalization. Strong rallies in hyperscalers and AI-related stocks have helped push the index higher, as investors continue betting on the sector’s long-term growth potential.
The S&P 500 has climbed nearly 7% since early February. While the war-driven volatility caused notable losses in March, the rally accelerated in April, with the index gaining 15.5% since March 30.
However, the gains have not been evenly distributed across the market. According to Google Finance data, the US 500 Excluding Artificial Intelligence Enablers Price Return Index (SPXXAI) has fallen 1.84% since its February launch.
For Trump, that was luck
he happened to be in the right place at the right time to benefit from that.
Hey now, Trump appointed Musk and DOGE to hollow out all the regulatory agencies that could have prevented the AI bubble from getting so big, so he at least deserves the credit for how bad things will become once it finally collapses.
Rare honest Trump statement. You can tell via his policy.
Can we just get him the fuck out of here already?
Trump and his sheeple can eat a bag of dicks.
Practical solution, take from his family and associates the difference in costs since he came into office to reimburse the public for their losses.
Will the end of a barrel make him think otherwise, or is he too far gone?
