The current economy has been good for Pres Trump and his 's billionaire friends.

But for workers?

Does Pres Trump even have a clue about how working Americans are being hurt by the economy Pres Trump is "very proud" of?

His LIES are SO obvious now that even some of MAGA notice... but hey, they are invested in this Con Artist and aren't going to easily admit that they were conned.

I dunno.

Seems like he has done a great job for the millionaires and billionaires and in manipulating the markets so he and his Epstein butt buddy's can add a few billion extra dollars to their stock portfolios to tide them over during upcoming the lean democratic years.

Remember now or let me remind you... When democrats regain power (and you and all the billionaires know they will) Congress will have to actually balance budgets because deficits will suddenly matter again.

Of course he's very proud of it.

"Donald Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. The president is now worth a record $7.3 billion, up from $4.3 billion in 2024, when he was still running for office. The $3 billion gain vaulted him 118 spots on The Forbes 400, where he lands at No. 201 this year."
