United States credit rating
President Trump’s spokesman Steven Cheung pointed out that the economist for Moody’s is an Obama/Clinton hack. “Mark Zandi, the economist for Moody’s, is an Obama advisor and Clinton donor who has been a Never Trumper since 2016. Nobody takes his “analysis” seriously. He has been proven wrong time and time again,” Steven Cheung said. Of course they waited until the election was over and they had a chance to hurt the Bad Orange Man, though the debt buildup was years in the making. -

The Tariff Tosser Has Done It Again, Mates!
So I’m sat me in this quiet little gaff near Tha Pae Gate, yeah, havin’ a cuppa English brekki and munchin’ on a bit of toast and beans, when some Yank geezer sits opposite me uninvited wantin’ to have a wee morning chat. One of them leathery retiree types with a "MAGA ME" tank-top struggling to hide his oversized mid-section, livin’ on social security, hope, and a neck like a chewed up Bic pen cap. A real bell-end goin’ on about how Trump’s bringin’ back “real strength” to the economy "fixing it all", "draining the swamp" and all that kool-aid slurpin' rubbish. I says, “Mate, the only thing Trump’s brought back is bog paper rationing, food banks, and the word ‘queue’ to American vocab. Hasn't even fixed his own dodgy golf swing” He didn’t laugh. Just ordered more greasy bacon and another banana smoothie like it was a protest. Anyway, turns out the whole country’s feelin’ the burn, and not the Bernie kind. US consumer sentiment’s just nosedived to the second-lowest level ever recorded. Yeah, ever innit. Right under the one time they thought the world was gonna end in Y2K and someone nicked all the Twinkies. The University of Michigan clocked it at 50.8 this May, down from 52.2. If it drops any lower they’ll have to publish it upside down out of respect. And get this, mates, nearly three-quarters of Americans in the survey pointed straight at Trump’s bloody tariffs. That’s not just a few lefty types moanin’ over oat milk and tofu burgers. Nah, even the good ol’ Republican faithful are startin’ to pipe up now. You know it’s bad when even the cult’s lookin’ for the exit. People reckon prices are gonna go up 7.3 percent this year. Highest since 1981, lads. That’s back when mullets were fashionable and Ronald Reagan still had blood circulation. Long term, it’s lookin’ like 4.6 percent inflation, which basically means your wallet’s on fire but the government swears it’s just a “warm fart in the wind.” Meanwhile the Trump lot are smilin’ on telly sayin’, “Don’t worry folks, inflation ain’t that bad.” Yeah alright mate, tell that to the woman who just paid twenty two dollars for a sad avocado on an English muffin in Denver. Even I’m startin’ to ration me Chang beer and I’m not even the target demographic. The funniest bit? They had a little tariff truce with China last month, like pausin’ a street brawl for a shepherds pie, then carried on actin’ like it fixed the whole mess. Joanne Hsu, she runs the survey yeah, basically said, “No one’s fallin’ for that, bruv.” Not in those words, obviously, but you get me. And if that weren’t enough to give your wallet a nosebleed, Moody’s only went and downgraded the whole bloody country. Yeah, the US, the supposed big-shot of the financial world, now sittin’ on a debt pile pushin’ 37 trillion dollars. That’s trillion with a T, mate. Enough zeroes to make your eyes water. Moody’s cut the credit rating down a peg, sayin’ even the Yanks’ so-called “economic strengths” can’t make up for the fact their fiscal situation’s more cooked than a dodgy sausage sarnie left in the sun. It’s the third agency to do it too, so we ain’t talkin’ one rogue accountant with a hangover. This is the financial world sayin’, “Nah bruv, we don’t trust you to pay your tab.” Makes you wonder what that MAGA geezer at the café’s gonna do when Uncle Sam’s platinum card gets declined. And just to top it off, Trump’s latest budget blueprint is set to balloon this year’s deficit to a cheeky $1.9 trillion, lads, with projections indicating an average annual deficit increase of $2 trillion over the next decade . So here we are. Trump’s throwin’ trade tantrums like a toddler on a sugar comedown and the economy’s gettin’ clobbered. Confidence is dead, prices are sky high, deficit is as high as me Nan's knickers and the average Yank’s about three paydays from switchin’ to dog food. But hey, that geezer at the café reckons it’s all part of the plan. Course it is, mate. Just like my dodgy “temporary” tattoo that says “grab em by the…” https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/us-consumer-sentiment-drops-near-record-low-may-inflation-worries-tariff-uncertainty.amp https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-rising-debt https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/16/economy/consumer-sentiment-may-preliminary -
