Trump was right. Leftist democrat scorners were wrong once again.

The first six months of the Trump administration have not been kind to the experts and the degree-holding classes.

Almost daily during the tariff hysterias of March, we were told by university economists and most of the PhDs employed in investment and finance that the U.S. was headed toward a downward, if not recessionary, spiral.

Most economists lectured that trade deficits did not really matter. Or they insisted that the cures to reduce them were worse than the $1.1 trillion deficit itself.

They reminded us that free, rather than fair, trade alone ensured prosperity.

So, the result of Trump's foolhardy tariff talk would be an impending recession. America would soon suffer rising joblessness, inflation--or rather a return to stagflation--and likely little, if any, increase in tariff revenue as trade volume declined.

Instead, recent data show increases in tariff revenue. Personal real income and savings were up. Job creation exceeded prognoses. There was no surge in inflation. The supposedly "crashed" stock market reached historic highs.

The dollar ha lost 10% of its value shine Shitshizpants took over. Tourism from abroad is waaaay down. When the merchandise that ha been tariffed appears in stores appears. THEN we will see inflation increase.

Have you found enough examples you think are negative results of Trump's policies to offset all the positive results of his policies? It is clear Biden's policies seemed more negative than positive in the whole.

There are no positive aspects of Trump or his absurd bigoted policies. Biden was far and away a better president, and so was Obama.
Trump will wreck our country. We do not need a lousy ignorant dictator.

I see. You have all the signs of a totally committed democrat cultist with all the typical biases, misunderstandings, and undupportabe narratives.

Trump's policies are terrible and will wreck our country.\
You are CLEARLY a cultist, believing that the Bible is actually the word of God and that the entire universe is only 6000 years old. And plus that, you think Trump is something other than a lying racist bastard obsessed with himself.

I'm already seeing why leftists believe Trump is going to destroy the country.
1. His officials are uncovering crimes committed by past democrats under past democrat control.
2. He has shut down DEI nonsense in the government and schools.
3. He is shutting down USAID funding of leftists and democrats, depriving them of the billions of dollars in yearly funding they have become addicted to.
4. He is stripping sexually charged biological males of their access to young girls' shower rooms.
5. He is stopping radical leftist judges from issuing imperialistic rulings like kings under nobody's authority.
6. He is returning law and order to the streets of American cities.
7. He is destroying waste, fraud, and abuse in government organizations and in government funding.

And so much more.
