What truth did we get from the Biden Admin.  Just for comparison.  Can always count on you and Tug for a biased untrue comments.   Or comments with no supportive narrative.   

We got the best economy in the advanced world. 

We got a president who allied with friends not enemies.

Trump trashed all that in almost no time.

Trump's massive federal savings through DOGE - big tax refunds?

Any disappointment must be attributable to Biden - right?

So when it's anti-Trump it's the truth but when there's an article about what Trump is actually achieving it's propaganda. Thank you for displaying the mindset of those afflicted the the syndrome. I've said on other occasions he could end all wars, all disease and abolish all hunger and people like you would still find something to complain about. It's just pitiful. As for the article itself it's not that great in that it doesn't list what's actually been achieved in his first 100 days which is A LOT.

Alternative facts now huh.

Always a winner.

Of course. People see a recession or depression plus stagflation coming

They're worried about job loss if they haven't been doged already.

They're not spending! 

Trump inherited one of the best economies on the planet and just drove it into the gutter.

Bottom line it's more expensive than eating depression style mayonnaise on white bread sandwiches at home. If you're freaking out about the economy, you try to avoid all optional spending.

I'm not into any American fast food these days but wow I do remember the very first McDonald's opening in my town as a boy.

It was a flippin' big deal. Not quite at the level when the first one opened in Moscow, but still.

And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Omaha?

 

They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?

 

No, they got the Trump tariffs there, they wouldn't be able to afford a Quarter Pounder.

 

Then what do they call it?

 

Winning.

Elon Musk got too big of a mouth for his own good, promised to save 3 trillion dollars with his DOGE games and the result it's far from that, meaning it's a disgrace, failure after failure

 

The tech billionaire was tasked with cutting $2 trillion in government spending, but Trump said on Wednesday that DOGE has found $150 billion in savings, a far cry from Musk’s goal as he flees town.

Another win for the greatest President the US has ever seen.

there are certain things that should be respected at all times, by doing so it shows one has some type of intelligence/brain, decency and respect, unfortunately both, the president and vice president don't have any

Got to concede he is bound to win if he keeps this up.........

 

#10 - The Tesla Ad

During a Tesla stock crash and days after Elon Musk infused $100m into Trump's political operation, the two stood on the South Lawn of the White House, posing for the cameras while the President purchased a Tesla. Pay to play and product placement on the White House lawn.

#9 - Gutting the Watchdogs

Trump has acted to dismantle or manipulate regulatory agencies, like the NLRB and CFPB, that are, in many cases, investigating companies owned by Musk and Trump's other billionaire buddies. With no watchdogs, corruption becomes policy.

#8 - Quid Pro Quo

…Again Indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams got his charges dropped in what appeared to be a quid pro quo for pledging to do Trump’s dirty work on unrelated immigration policy. Numerous DOJ officials resigned in protest, and justice was never served.

#7 - Anti-Bribery Laws Out The Window

Trump ordered the DOJ to pause enforcement of anti-bribery laws, making it easier for U.S. companies to bribe foreign officials. Not just turning a blind eye to corruption. Tacitly authorizing it.

#6 - Musk's Insider Info

Elon Musk and his DOGE bros gained access to enforcement data at OSHA, and the private information of millions of Americans held by the IRS and other agencies. He now holds the data to power his AI, or to weaponize against his competitors. Under Trump, access to your data is a perk of friendship.

#5 - Billionaire Favoritism

Trump’s FAA threatened to cancel a long-standing contract with Verizon in hopes of replacing it with a contract with Elon Musk-owned Starlink. No open bidding. No oversight. Just blatant favoritism for a billionaire donor and buddy.

#4 - Spending Tax Dollars at His Own Properties

So far, Trump has made 63 visits to his own properties costing taxpayers millions of dollars that go directly into his pocket. At least half of those were golf visits, including while he sent the stock market tumbling. I guess that's par for the course.

#3 - Picking Apart the Law Firms

Trump publicly threatened law firms which employed lawyers or represented clients he didn’t like, chilled legal opposition to his policies, and extorted hundreds of millions in free legal work for his pet causes. A literal racket.

#2 - The DOJ as Personal Attorneys

He hired his top criminal lawyers to lead the department. The result? Cases against Trump allies dropped. Investigations into critics launched. The DOJ under Trump hasn't just been politicized — it has been weaponized to reward loyalty and punish dissent.

#1 - The Memecoin

Effectively posting his Venmo for the entire world to buy favor, Trump's memecoin is the most egregious, and most lucrative example of political corruption in modern history. In fees alone, Trump has seen hundreds of millions of dollars flow into his personal bank account and that of his kids, including money from foreign interests looking to buy influence.

Normally McDonald's is a fantastic defensive stock if there is a recession, people trade down. The problem for them now is that They are in the same price range as an Olive Garden or Applebee's.

 

I own shares of Shake Shack which is quite a bit more expensive to eat it compared to McDonald's. They reported blow out numbers a couple days ago, stock is up like 10% for the week. A lot of problems regarding McDonalds are specific to how they do things. 

 

People's tastes are changing and McDonald's just isn't the first fast food place people go now. There is very fierce competition that wasn't present in the past.
