That's an interesting parochial outlook – as it doesn't relate to the topic, though does it? Which is about America's standing in the world... it's just a regurgitation of the Trump admin's litany of propaganda. Remember in the 1930s Germany claimed a huge economic resurgence, and look what happened to them.

Here's another take – and bear in mind that the hard reality won't sink in for a couple of years or more – when Trump is gone and America is isolated. Like, it took 10 years for people to realise the damage that Brexit is doing. - As of April 2026, the American economy is characterised by a "stagflation-lite" environment, where growth has slowed, but inflation remains stubbornly above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. While headline inflation has cooled from pandemic-era peaks, the primary problem for Americans is an ongoing affordability crisis driven by high essential costs, rising debt, and a softening labor market

ASAP. This is a national emergency and a security disaster, America is in deep deep doo doo, with this circus clown leading his minions off the cliff. The nation is in immediate need of rescue.

Yeah it's 100%. The others are 80 to 90%. I've never met anyone like that. Biden had double inflation. Obama double unemployment. It is very very strange.

Very good software by the look of it. Very accurate description of the lemming in chief!

Do you mean Godwin's Law or reductio ad Hitlerium? - Trump is relying on his supporters to realise they are falling for exactly the same tactics

After attempting to change the 'Gulf of Mexico' to the ‘Gulf of America', Donald Trump inspires another rebrand as 'Strait of Hormuz' increasingly starts to look like '<deleted> Creek'

There's no question that Biden was not very good at running the economy, but you conveniently forget about Covid, and the generational amount of price gouging that Corporate America engaged in during and after.

Right now inflation is roaring yet again, and the goon is fulfilling none of his promises to bring that down, and his actions are doing nothing but increasing prices.

How about decreasing prescription drug prices by 1500%?

Much of today's inflation is the result of Trump's illegal tariffs along with the high price of oil. And I don't see the price of my prescription drugs going down. In fact, they are actually going up.

You are correct, and despite 18 months of fake campaign promises to bring down inflation and to make America more affordable, he's done the exact opposite with his incredibly reckless policies. He's increased the cost of goods, commodities, and services, he's dramatically increased the cost of cars and there appears to be no relief in sight. The average American has to bear the ugly brunt of his policies, and he and his billionaire friends could not care less.

America is unaffordable for 70% of the population, and they are struggling like never before, gone are the good old days that's for sure. America was already on a swift decline but Trump has exacerbated that to such a dramatic extent it boggles the mind, and it almost appears as if he's engaged in deliberate economic sabotage.

And you conveniently forget that most of the Covid emergency funding was accounted for before Biden even got in.

How how far we have strayed from the words of John Adam's, the second president of America. We have suffered pure moral degradation under Disaster Don.

With the faith and honor of the American people I make you the following solemn promises: to do justice at all times, and to all nations, to maintain peace, brotherhood and benevolence with all the world, and to lay myself under the most solemn obligations to uphold the Constitution of the United States to the utmost of my power.
