Trump is failing badly.

He began tripping over his own shoelaces almost immediately.

The only question is how long MAGA will pretend there is no disaster.

Before feeling the need to find someone not Trump to blame.

worse than watergate ...CHECK

worse since great recession....CHECK

#3 but never blaming themselves, of course.

#4 the idiot Trumper calling others a dope.

What an idiot.

I'm gloomy because the impending crash will bring home prices down, so I can afford a better one, but the home will be in a Nazi country.

It'll bring lots of prices down.

But it will show people that there's a big difference between deflation (actual price drops) and drops in inflation.

Pampered idiots that have only known largesse are gonna get a lesson.

Reservations plunge across DC restaurants after Trump's police takeover

The disgusting------------- wants DC eateries to suffer the same fate as his casinos.

Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, Big Balls and Lindsey Graham, and Darryl Issa and Mike Johnson will have their pick of love nooks in Wash DC restaurants. Ain't love grand?

Der Dotard is already focused on Jay Powell being to blame for the stagflation coming on this country's economy. If so, the president needs to explain why interest rates need cutting if the economy is so strong and employment is higher than BLS statistics show. If both are true there is no need to cut rates, and a rate increase would make more sense. If prices are rising at a rate above the target of 2% inflation that means wage rates will rise, with no gain in employment. If the reports from the BLS are accurate (which I believe them to be), an argument could be made for rate cuts in coming months, except for that pesky inflation rate.

The next Fed chair will have his hands full. The MAGA GOP candidates for the 2026 election would well be in panic mode by next Spring and a wrong move by the new Fed chair could cause control of the Congress to change to the Dems, with major hijinks then ensuing ...

How can he be expected to run a country with Vlad's dick in his mouth all them time.

How long will it take for the bankruptcy-prone------------- to get the unemployment rate over 10% again.

It's only gloomy because of media outlets that report what's actually going on

It will be a while since companies like Apple are moving their production back to the US. Which Democrats hate btw.

Fishpud praises the------------ with the 15% unemployment rate.

15%? Article says 4.2. Try watching something beside Sponge Bob.

Apple is not moving production back to USA.

Yup. And I bet Republicans will just love paying $3500 dollars for an American made IPhone.

How many can we put you down for?

US Roasters Shun Coffee From Brazil After 50% Tariffs Kick In
finance.yahoo.com

... American coffee buyers are shunning fresh deals with top grower Brazil after President Donald Trump's 50% tariff took effect this month.

Companies are avoiding new contracts and looking for wiggle room in existing ones to avoid having to pay the higher levies, according to a dozen brokers, roasters and exporters contacted by Bloomberg. Some US buyers are asking for extended shipping timelines in the hopes that tariffs may be eased later, according to Brazil's exporter group Cecaf.

Deals between the US and Brazil have "totally stalled," said coffee broker Thiago Cazarini. "No one's really buying anything."

About a third of America's unroasted coffee typically comes from Brazil, a country Trump has been immersed in a trade conflict with, in part due to what he calls the "politically motivated persecution" of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. A political ally of Trump's, Bolsonaro faces trial for an attempted coup against the government of President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva, who defeated Bolsonaro in a 2022 election.

Trump first announced 10% tariffs on Brazil and other countries in April, before imposing 50% levies on the South American agricultural power that kicked in on Aug. 6. ...

You mean Trumpy allowed a foreign invader to enter the country illegally and kill a million Americans?

Yeah. Thanks for the reminder

Placing tariffs on Brazil is odd because the US had a trade surplus with Brazil. I say "had" because I do not know if there will be a surplus going forward.
