More from the article ...

..."When will I get credit for having created, with No Inflation, perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country?" he wrote on TRUTH Social. "When will people understand what is happening? When will Polls reflect the Greatness of America at this point in time, and how bad it was just one year ago?"

According to a new AP-NORC poll, Trump's approval rating for the economy has massively decreased since March.

Only 31% of adults in the U.S. approve of how the president is handling the economy, according to The Associated Press.

Trump said the tariffs will bring in hundreds of billions of dollars and that the U.S. is respected on the national stage.

He took a shot at Biden and how the former president ran the country before he was elected.

"I inherited a MESS from the Biden Administration " The Worst Inflation in History, and the Highest Prices our Country has ever seen," he wrote.
"In other words, Affordability, just 13 months ago, was a DISASTER for the American People, but now, it's totally different! Prices are coming down FAST, Energy, Oil and Gasoline, are hitting five year lows, and the Stock Market today just hit an All Time High."

When Trump ran for office in 2024, his two top issues were the economy and cracking down on illegal immigration. ...

@#1

imo, Pres Trump is looking at the economy from the viewpoint of the billionaires that he has surrounded himself with in the White House.

The economy for the wealthy is doing quite well. Massive tax cuts, compliments of Pres Trump, investments doing well, etc.

But then, looking at those who work to put food on the table, well, things do not look so rosy.

It's a "K-shaped" economy. The wealthy are doing well, the non-wealthy, i.e., those who keep the Country running, are struggling to make ends meet.

But, as I noted earlier, Pres trump's billionaire-stacked Cabinet doesn't see the problem Americans are facing.

When he's dead.

If it's bad, it's Biden's fault.
If it's good, it's Trump's fault.

But...Trump says it's his economy and great and America says it's bad...

So whose fault is it?

and the Stock Market today just hit an All Time High

Is that meaningful? When he crashed it with his first tariff announcement he said the stock market wasn't that important and he didn't care.

@#5 ... Is that meaningful? ...

It was posted by Pres Trump on social media.

Did I answer your question?

@#5 ... When he crashed it with his first tariff announcement he said the stock market wasn't that important and he didn't care. ...

To the point of your comment ...

Pres Trump likes the stock market when it is rising, but dislikes it when it is dropping.

I'd say that is a typical response from a wealthy person with major investments in the stock market.

Not a worker who is just working to put food on the table.

So the question seems to become, why does Pres Trump seem to be so detached from his base and so focused upon how the wealthy are faring?

You seem to disagree. Why?

Serious waste of a tantrum. His detatched BPM stays under 60.:]

Tantrum? You really don't pay attention very well.

I meant Lamp, not you whom I have faith can and would tantrum quite spectacularly.

Lamp getting po'd: "The appearance of a brown mamba? Boaz at a Christmas party."

@#12 ... Lamp getting po'd ...

I was getting po'd? (aside from the made-up attribution in your comment)

Where?

My visits to this site are quite serene.

I do not remember any visit, or posting that I have done, where I was po'd.

I will say, however, that if visiting this site results in me becoming po'd, then my first reaction would be along the lines of not visiting the site.

"Trump: When will polls reflect greatest economy in history."

I want to know: when is Trump going to find out that his staff isn't telling him the truth, so he doesn't go off half-cocked and lose what little bit is left of his mind.

Every time he opens his yap he is making a case for the 25th Amendment.

First term, Trump had Mattis and Kelly and so many other experts trying to keep him from screwing things up, but this time Trump decided to go with hiring people who would kiss his ring, or foot if that was what it took and so now this American empire is falling the same way that the Soviet Union's Empire fell, until it was bankrupt and led by a man, Gorbachev, who didn't believe in the Soviet Union.
Trump clearly only believes in his gangster empire, and he hates the concept of a one person, one vote Constitutional Republic.

Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home."
--Mark 6:4

Being a man of the world, Der Dotard is without honor around the globe...

Meanwhile: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

"greatest economy in history" LOL~~~~~~~
A this stage, the entire trump circus is no more than the western version of Mao-era China. The only thing they lack are propaganda posters everywhere.

The only thing they lack are propaganda posters everywhere.

They're working on that.

Trump will get credit when the economy trickles down the commoners. Considering we are still waiting for the Reagan trickle down after 50+ years, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Unfortunately, people will still believe in trickle down and continue to vote for tax cuts for the rich despite tax cuts never having made America Great (unless you are in the top 1% of wealth).
