He's a sad, delusional, deluded troll! The best thing you can do is to go to his profil and click ignore. That way you'll never see his bullsh.t again and he won't be able to reply to your comments and posts.

Thanks captain positive. You left wing trolls always play that card yet are 100% negative and 100% trolls. The US economy is the best in the world. Inflation and unemployment are fairly low. Exports record highs.

😂😂😂 You clearly do not have the necessary intellect nor the knowledge to be having this discussion in the first place. So, I'm just gonna bow out now. Believe what you want! Time will prove me right.

Here's a little insight, although something tell me you don't have the necessary attention span, but just in case:

You obviously don't know how sad and pathetic you are, especially making assumptions of some posters, and you are so wrong that it makes me laugh, no pity for you, just plain laughter at your stupidity.

You know nothing about me, despite my name having appeared in various articles in countries around the world, and appearing on TV, as well as starting an investment fund which reached just under $2 billion, and for the record, having lunch and dinner as a personal guest of the Prime Minister of a first world country.

So I don't need to be rich from the proceeds of an inheritance or from grifting, lying and cheating as per Trump, and I'm so glad that he doesn't know who I am because I wouldn't want to be associated with such garbage.

Keep up your sorry posts as they do make me laugh, as I'm sure they do others, and looking at the vast numbers of the "thumbs down" emojis, you are about as popular as a rattlesnake in a lucky dip.

Why are you sitting in Thailand worrying about Trump? Not one positive comment. All negative and nasty. Name dropping does not impress me.

These opinion polls are fairly useless. Rarely accurate and wrong timing.

You haters think people who disagree like Trump. They don't. They just support better policies. But you can't go a day without saying his name.

Here is what AI actually has to say on the US economy. Doesn't seem to be as rosy as you describe, with 73% of Americans saying the economy is getting worse. That 73% is not good, as you should know, as it is an indictor of consumer spending, or, more importantly, lack of spending with economic worries. The US economy:

The

U.S.

economy is currently in a state of resilient but slowing growth, characterized by stubborn inflation and a "low-hire, low-fire" labor market [8, 27]. While the economy has avoided a recession, it faces significant headwinds from geopolitical tensions, specifically the war with Iran, and the ongoing impact of tariffs [1, 24, 28].

Key Economic Indicators (as of April 2026)

• GDP Growth: Real GDP increased at an annual rate of 0.5% in Q4 2025, a sharp deceleration from the 4.4% growth seen in Q3 [6, 23].

  • Forecasters at Vanguard and Deloitte project modest growth around 2.2% to 2.3% for the full year 2026 [10, 13].

• Inflation: The annual inflation rate surged to 3.3% in March 2026, a two-year high [1, 21].

  • Much of this spike is attributed to soaring gasoline prices—up 35% in a single month—caused by the conflict in the Middle East and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz [28, 30].

• Labor Market: The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3% in March 2026 [1, 30].

  • While 178,000 jobs were added in March, job creation has generally slowed due to reduced immigration and "shaky demand" [2, 30].

• Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve has maintained rates between 5.25% and 5.5%, with officials like Cleveland Fed’s Hammack suggesting they will stay on hold "for a good while" to combat sticky inflation [3, 30].

Consumer and Market Sentiment

• Consumer Confidence: Sentiment has dropped significantly, hitting its lowest level since 2014 according to the University of Michigan Index [11, 14].

• Vibecession: Despite positive growth numbers, 73% of Americans believe the economy is getting worse, citing affordability and high cost of living as primary concerns [25, 32].

• Stock Market: The S&P 500 remains historically high but has seen recent volatility, falling nearly 9% from its January peak as investors grow wary of an "AI bubble" and war-related uncertainty [28, 30].

Emerging Risks

• Recession Odds: Wall Street's recession risk assessments have climbed; Moody’s Analytics currently places the odds of a contraction within the next 12 months at 48.6% [28].

• Trade Deficit: The monthly international trade deficit increased to $57.3 billion in February 2026 [6, 23].

You seem to have changed your opinion on AI yet again!

On Wednesday you said; "The Internet at Large: Recent 2026 reports suggest that approximately 62% of online information is considered unreliable or false. Studies show that roughly 40% of content shared on social media is technically "fake news" or heavily distorted"

Wrong again......I don't "worry" about trump at all, I just think he is a dumb idiot (snakes in Peru anyone?) and there's nothing positive to say about a rapist, crook, grifter, compulsive liar, multi bankrupt and someone who steals from a charity, and that you like him says so much about you, which confirms what posters on here already know from your past history! On to ignore you go.

Thanks for the rant. Ignore is good. You are on it now. All the negative guys are being added daily.

Trump does not care. He won twice. Neither do I. I feel sorry for you losers. No job. No hobbies. No life.

Without Trump you would all be lost for words.

Really? Are you cheering on a president for being REALLY unpopular for voters? What's the logic there?

Lower inflation than Biden. Lower unemployment than Obama. Higher exports than both. More secure than both.

73% of opinions are bs.

According to polls which are wrong most of the time? Were you born yesterday?

Clinton was 42% in 1994. Trump is 39.7%. Not much difference. Within the margin of error.

That 73% who think the economy is tanking is horrendous--for Trump and the Republicans. Let's not forget James Carville's famous, and correct, political comment: "It's the economy, stupid." Indeed, it is. Voters vote with their pocketbooks.

The economy was considered bad during Bush 1's re-election try--and he lost. Ditto for Carter--who also was denied a second term. Biden's economy, after inheriting Trump's horrible first term mess, was actually starting to improve by 2024, but the voters thought otherwise, mainly due to inflation still being high, resulting in a win for the Republicans. So much for 'opinions are bs.'

Fortune magazine has an April article entitled, "Trump's economy officially passes Biden's for worst consumer sentiment in recorded history". Yikes. Another record 'worst' for Trump.
