A "roaring economy," Trump said near the start of his record-breaking 1-hour, 47-minute speech, "is roaring like never before." He vowed to maintain unilateral tariffs on foreign goods despite an adverse Supreme Court decision.But Americans tell pollsters, in survey after survey, that they are not satisfied with the economy 13 months into Trump's second presidency. Most Americans disapprove of how he's handling the economy (57%) and inflation (65%), according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll. - Views on Trump’s handling of the economy tilt negative (41% approve, 57% disapprove). Americans have more negative views of Trump’s handling of tariffs on imported goods (34% approve, 64% disapprove) and inflation (32%, 65%).- A plurality (48%) of Americans say the economy has gotten worse since Trump became president in January 2025, compared to 29% that say it has gotten better.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-roaring-economy-state-union-americans-struggle-rcna259802
Should be interesting to see if trump and the republican controlled media can gaslight people into thinking affordability isn't a problem.But given it actually affects people, like how he totally bungled the response to the trump virus that killed a million Americans.
>>1491800I know unemployment is bad, affordability is getting worse, we are on the brink of war with Iran and pedos are running the white house but have you at least said thank you that the stock market is better than ever?
>>1491802It's, ok, they're planning on actual Terminators, so they can continue to do anything they want without anyone to stop them. Look it up, some San Fran sacks of shit are making it.
>>1491802Stock market is being "pumped" by immigrant billionaires like Musk and Thiel along with the Saudi's and international banks that will go bust when the market finally goes bust. The recession IS coming. The yield curve inverted which has proceeded the last 4 recessions.
>>1491800I don't know why this is such a surprise. Trump has been talking about temporary, half-decade of pain as the economy is restructured so that America can have a thousand year long golden age as the rest of the world sucks on rocks.
>>1491815I mean, in my years studying econ, I heard the old 'economists have predicted 8 of the last 5 recessions' joke quite a few times. One metric is usually not enough to predict things. (I am under the impression that pretty much EVERY metric is screaming a recession is coming, however)
This is all Biden's economy. We were literally eating the cats and dogs and the little babies in the street it was so bad under Biden. And now, Trump has turned it all around. This is the GREATEST economic miracle in the history of mankind. We have an economy that is the ENVY of the WORLD. Donald Trump has rescued the American people like Christ the Savior saved humankind with his sacrifice upon the cross.
>>1491801just blame Biden. It is really that simple. MIGAtards are really that simple too.
>>1491830No you weren't and no we aren't. Trump did this.
>>1491835MAGA 101: Blame someone else for the problems you create
>>1491873That's less MAGA and more conservatism.
>>1491830>“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”
>>1491873But it is Biden’s fault, Trump said so himself. And since he’s also told us he’s been exonerated by the Epstein releases I see no reason why I shouldn’t continue to blindly believe everything he says
