1) “the bleeding”? What on earth are you talking about? I have the freedom to buy what I want. If a US manufacturer cannot make what I want or if it’s too expensive I have the right to buy it from wherever it’s made. No “bleeding”, just economic freedom and consumer choice.
2) The current annualized inflation rate is 2.7% not 2.2%.
The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 3.7 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 3.4 percent in the third quarter. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased 2.9 percent

3) not to quibble but the trade deficit with China fell 32% not 40%. However the the US goods trade deficit is WORSE, it WIDENED, just the countries changed. Mexico, Canada and EU are the largest components. Our soybean farmers were crushed for nothing and are now “welfare farmers” because we have to bail them out for $12 billion.
4) no one knows what “ Quasi-national cartels under state capitalism” even means.
5) and let’s be clear tariffs are import TAXES imposed on Americans NOT foreign governments. No Taxation Without Representation means you go through Congress and not the whim of a convicted felon. Trump knowingly lies to the public saying foreign governments pay.
6) There is no national emergency‼️ Import taxes are a scam to try and justify tax cuts for those who don’t need them. These tax cuts and Ice funding should be repealed.
7) The economy is slowing.
Real GDP increased 2.2 percent in 2025 (from the 2024 annual level to the 2025 annual level), compared with an increase of 2.8 percent in 2024.
~ Department of Commerce
8) Employment has slowed dramatically
Based on February 2026 revisions, U.S. employment growth experienced a sharp slowdown, with job gains falling to 1.5 million in 2024 (down from 2 million) and a modest 181,000 in 2025. Monthly gains dropped to roughly 15,000 in 2025—the slowest non-recessionary growth since 2003—down from an average of 122,000 in 2024

9) The budget deficit for 2025 was $1.8 TRILLION, the third highest on record. These tax cuts other two were also Trump related. He’s added about $10 trillion to our national debt or 25%. The most in history. He is driving the US into a massive financial crisis.
Wow, everything sure is an unnecessarily complicated mess. If no borders existed in the first place, people could just ..trade. It's almost like government shouldn't exist at all.
Very snarky but unserious. On brand for MAGA. Don’t deal with the issue at hand, deflect to something else.
How about this … release all the EPSTEIN FILES so we can see that Melania was working in the US illegally, got citizenship illegally and was trafficked by Epstein to Trump.
NOT TO MENTION THE CLEAR ALLEGATIONS THAT TRUMP, A CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER, RAPED AN UNDERAGE GIRL.
As for the border, the vast overwhelming majority of deportations are of people without any criminal records at all. In fact US citizens have been deported. The entire system is a total catastrophe.
Wow, that was quite an emotional outburst from another "just accuse everyone who doesn't agree with me of being MAGA" troll. So clever. Yes, all the presidents are nasty pedo perverts. That makes the point that we should not have government at all.
No one has the right to rule over another. Borders only exist because the rulers wanted to create principalities to steal from. If you have to ask permission to cross an imaginary line, *you are a slave*.
Absolutely. But you know who is winning with this administration? No tariffs, no pushback on the invasion of another country? Hosting an indicted war criminal on US soil.
PUTIN!!
How is it Trump trashes everyone but Putin? Iran is more a threat than Putin? Venezuela? Greenland? Canada?
It’s insane. Trump is in bed with Putin to the total detriment of the USA. Now he wants him back in the G7/8, back in the Olympics, no weapons to Ukraine, just concede to all of Russias demands!
It’s all right there, Trump is the most corrupt person ever in government.
Look at how the US under Trump has totally walked, no run, away from Ukraine in order to orchestrate a win by Putin. Why? Because Donald J Trump is a traitor to the USA and is aligned more closely with Putin’s Russia than with America. How in gods name can any American allow this to continue.
I disagree, Liberation day started in April, 2025. The trade deficit in each subsequent month was less than in 2024. Trump slowed the bleeding. The Trade DEFICIT with China dropped 40%. Inflation went from 2.9% in 2024 to 2.2% today. Wecdo not live in a competive economy, we have a series of Quasi-national cartels under state capitalism.

No rulers = no borders, problem solved.
Even without Trump we have been whipsawing from administration to administration.
Concerning Trump’s policies and assaults, I am concerned about the longer term consequences of alienating our allies and trading partners.
I fear that countries are taking things much more seriously than politics as usual, and will work hard to do business away.
No one can avoid our great consumer economy, but I assume that great harm can be done at the margins.
Also, attacking innovation and immigration is weakening one of the fundamental strengths of our economy.
Short term, maybe a boost- long term a disaster.
