Much of the nation is worried about the direction of the economy, but Trump says the good times are here, insisting repeatedly that rising costs are no longer a problem.
“The roaring economy is roaring like never before,” he said. He cheered the lower cost of gasoline, mortgage rates, prescription drug prices and the rising stock market: “Millions and millions of Americans are all gaining.”
Such optimism, as so many Americans are feeling economic strains, risks painting Trump as out of touch. Just 39% of U.S. adults approved of Trump’s handling of the economy in February, according to AP-NORC polling.
Tributes to the Olympic hockey team and a World War II veteran didn’t unify the room for long.
The Republican president soon took aim at Democrats and blamed them for many of the nation’s ills.
Trump said rising health care premiums are “caused by you,” suggested Democrats “are not protecting” Social Security and blamed them for the nation’s affordability crunch. “You caused that problem. You caused that problem,” Trump said as he glared at the Democratic side of the room.
AP news doing its best to pretend it wasn’t a drugged out dictator rambling for two hours.
I didn’t watch the SOTU but I see headlines like Pedonald claiming he is responsible for a “turnaround for the ages”.
I’ll interpret that as true, but not the way I’m sure he intended. All economic indicators towards the end of Biden’s term were in a good place or heading in good directions. That’s what happens when you have adults running things vs petulant children chanting baby-words like “maga” and “maha” and repeating jingoistic phrases on cue.
Since Pedonald has come in, he seems even more fixated on centering himself as well as enriching himself and doing absolutely unhinged things like fucking with tariffs.
So yeah, it was a turnaround all right, but changing things from a good direction to an incredibly stupid and awful direction.
And that’s just on economics.
Was it just me or did it look like he was leaning on that podium really hard? He also sounded a bit slurry all of which support your observation.
“Slurry” as in liquefied shit.
Damn it have my upvote, that was good (and gross).
My insurance premium is at an all time high. My medication costs are at an all time high. My shopping costs are at an all time high despite cutting back on the extras. The number of created jobs was 1/10 of what it was the previous year.
Fuck you, Donald Trump.
“But he was handed such a mess! The Bidenomics of the terrible Biden economy! Pedonald is just trying to fix all that!”
– every Republicunt and reactionary centrist, along with plenty of dipshits in the Murc’s Law media.
It is amazing that the GOP has both houses and the presidency, but still blames the Dems for the Reps own failures.
Such optimism, as so many Americans are feeling economic strains, risks painting Trump as out of touch.
Risks? Yeah. Sure.
Only one thing he’s ever been in touch with…
Charles Entertainment Cheese was not who I expected there
I am oddly happy that you used his full legal name here, and not the restaurant casual name
Funny how they didn’t mention that it was all lies.

He’s almost got em all, doesn’t he? All he needs to do is worship some Greek, Egyptian or other gods, and he’s all set. ( Unless money counts as his god, then I’m pretty sure he’s got em all, or is almost there)
