Even though the reality is, trump made no significantly favorable policies. He did make adversely significant policy that has yet to be realized, but when it is, it will be horrible. The economy was already on its favorable trajectory with plenty of momentum before his first term. All he had to do was leave it alone but he just had to mess with it, adding 2 trillion to the deficit per each year of his term, thanks to his tax breaks given to the richest, while ramping up spending. So voting for trump because of the economy makes zero sense.

Wait. The economy? The inflation rate for the 12 months ending in September is 2.4%, the lowest since February of 2021, close to the 2% ideal, and well below the long term average of 3.3%. Unemployment has fallen dramatically since its high of over 14% in 2020 and has been close to 4% for the longest time since the Vietnam war. GDP is way up, as are real wages. The stock market is hitting new highs.

Conservatives often say that Trump will be better for the economy. However, they do not realise what the effect of ten percent tariffs would be on American jobs. They would simply result in the rest of the world imposing ten percent tariffs on all American goods. This is what happened in the 1930s when Republicans imposed extra tariffs on all imports and by doing so turned the wall street crash into the depression. Free trade in recent years has lead to increased prosperity around the world.

He siphoned a ton of money from his own supporters and now he's going to start siphoning it from the US.

Unlikely. His ability to travel to the United Kingdom would depend on several legal and diplomatic factors. Under UK immigration laws, individuals with felony convictions can face restrictions on entry. However, heads of state, like the U.S. President, often receive special exemptions or diplomatic considerations that could allow them entry, regardless of past convictions. For a sitting president, diplomatic status may override standard immigration restrictions. UK authorities might grant him entry based on his position, although this would ultimately be a matter of UK government discretion. Given that travel by heads of state typically involves extensive security and planning, any issues would likely be handled through diplomatic negotiations to avoid major diplomatic tensions.

How will Trump make the economy better? All I heard was that he'd put tariffs on imported goods. That won't bring back jobs. That'll cause inflation. The manufacturers and importers will simply pass the costs onto the consumer. Do you really think the CEOs, corporate board members, and shareholders are gonna take the hit if they can pass it onto the consumers. 1) most obvious in food inflation and 2) for non-essentials, especially upper-middle to luxury goods, the extra expense is a drop in the bucket for their consumer base (i.e. earning +$US200K/yr).

That's make no sense, you currently have an economy in the US doing pretty well, sure inflation has been higher in the past 4 years than the previous 4 but it was everywhere so certainly not a US centred problem, good policy has brought it down and headed down and people concerned about the rise in inflation vote in a candidate whose central policies well almost certainly push it back up again.

The former might have meant extreme civil unrest, but maybe not the latter. Why nobody is talking about this I do not know.

One of the problems, seems to me, was all the hype about having a female president. That should have never been a key point. Kamala should win for being the best and most capable candidate, not because of her race or gender. In my opinion, that was a flaw in the message of the voters, it diverted attention from what are the most important matters. Who cares if she is a woman, black or Indian, as long as her heart is in the right place?

[@moveover76]

Kamala failed to explain what her plans were, so it's no surprise she lost. And if that wasn't enough to point out her character, she hasn't even conceded. Hillary even had the decency to concede in 2016, as much as a POS she is.

Kamala had ONE job in last 4yrs as "border czar" she never visited the border and she left it open. The democrats deserve this loss .

Now the democrats hand picked her to represent the democratic party ???!!!! 😳 The democrats party let the party be hijacked by the leftists. Biden even said 4yrs ago he would only pick a women of color for VP 😳 that is very racist. The democrats chose Harris a bi racial leftist female to go against trump , that was the worst choice theyve ever done .Under Biden administration I as a straight female was forced to share a bathroom with men. I was given the label cis and forced to accept that 😳. Young girls across America and college were forced to compete against biological men in sports. Feminists , Never stood up for women😢. The democrats let our cities and colleges campuses be overrun run with pro pally rallies , they defaced our American statutes and they burned 🔥our flag🇺🇲 !! They let the leftists stomp all over our rights . They weakened and neutered our military, they made our military weak by the no action policies. I watched cities burn 🔥 at the hands of the leftists. Under Biden administration we were hit with highest inflation. Gas prices up to 7$/gall groceries prices so high I had to put them back on the shelves. Mortgage rates highest under Biden went from 3.99% up to 7.5% , then I couldn't buy a condo or a home . I've been centrist democrat all my life and did NOT vote for the 1st time in 20+yrs .
