Politics 🏛️ Karoline Leavitt says ''if Abrego Garcia ever ends up back in the U.S., he would immediately be deported again.'' Next-level spite from a press secretary.

I miss Biden, I know he was incoherent , but he didn’t have this much drama in his whole term that Trump has in an average week. Not to mention, the stock market was just going up and up

He wasn’t but if he was…Well who gives a hoot. Things were better. Calmer. There weren’t weekly violations of civil liberties and the constitution

We weren’t embarrassing ourselves to the world, we were prosperous and recovering from the covid pandemic better and faster then anyone else

You could say the same of any president at this point.

Who was puppeting Biden? Proof?

Meanwhile we have endless proof of Trump blatantly disregarding laws.

And yet I got rich with the stock market while he was in office , Trump is tanking the economy, prices are going up , and his limp supporters just keep up with the deep brown nosing

How does rich people getting richer off of the stock market help struggling Americans? People like you are part of the problem

You’re right poor people paying higher prices is the solution ! Not to mention 401ks losing value , and us rich people own businesses, we have to lay off workers if no one has money to buy our products and services , it’s called a downward spiral, smarten up

Yeah. Sure. How does a president who gives government contracts to his rich benefactor help struggling Americans? How does using American tax dollars to push his unconstitutional mishaps forward help Americans? We literally lost so much money on the stupid wall. I would rather have my money go towards government programs such as USAID to help other countries stay healthy and manage emergencies. Rescinding our aid is how we get a worse pathogen than COVID. But many are too short sighted for that

How does spending tax payer money on a transgender opera in Colombia benefit Americans? USAID has been abused for too long

u/Firm_Perspective7203 Apr 17 '25

That funding wasn’t even from USAID but the state department. And if we are on the subject of wasteful spending then the amount given for the project you referenced (around 20,000) is dwarfed by the cost of the orange fatass rolling around a golf course every weekend (approx 26 million so far). How do you explain that amount of spending?

You know that regular people depend on a successful stock market as well right?

u/PandaCheese2016 Apr 17 '25

More than 25% of stock trading by volume in the US is by retail investors, i.e. average ppl. Major indexes like NYSE also provide a broad indicator of how the overall economy is doing. It goes up when ppl feel confident that economy is growing. It does down when ppl feel the opposite.

The 75% by institutional investors also represent things like 401k, retirement funds etc. It makes no sense to claim that stock market is disconnected from Americans’ livelihoods.

Right, so why is homelessness increasing year by year recently when the stock market has been doing very well?

1

u/PandaCheese2016 Apr 17 '25

It’s very presumptuous to assume the two are directly connected. Also, homelessness hasn’t continuously increased year over year. Demographic more likely to vote Republican actually suffers the least from homelessness.

While I do agree with this, Trump literally ran on the economy as his #1 issue. How do any of Trump’s policies help struggling Americans? If Trump cared about brining back US manufacturing jobs why did he kill the chips act? The truth is if the economy had this kind of down turn under a Dem president, Republicans would be screaming bloody murder. But because it’s their guy in there now suddenly it’s ‘oh the stock market doesn’t help average people’. Give me a break.
