The economy that has been propped up for the last 4 years artificially will be let go and it could get ugly early. They will do everything they can to dump an economic mess in his lap.
MAGA... how is it going to work?

I guess that trump implemented tariffs and then had to bail out farmers, he passed on doing anything about the pandemic, which by your stupid comment proves you are an idiot, bailed on doing anything for transportation logistics. Biden was handed a piece of shit and did surprisingly well, not that you understand or care.
GOP has shown no interest in stabilizing Social Security; I do not foresee any change there, and things can unravel quickly if not addressed.
I do not expect that to change; lots of flyover country seniors will be in for a rude awakening when they have benefits dropped to 60-70% of what they were promised.
We'll have to see how much of Project 2025 Trump is "unaware of", because I suspect we're going to see some ugly changes that are going to result in some bad unintended consequences for average Americans.

Because theres no way for it to actually happen, he will push that direction but he is an over seller. I think he was demonized for the 11 million comment, so not sure he was let off the hook. Did Kamala get hammered for the 25K to first time home buyers with the fine print basically being a giveaway to the generation poor and immigrants?
I think the tariffs and tax cuts for the rich are real, which is actually why I couldn't vote for him. If the Dems got off the Woke wagon to hell, they would own the midwest.
Do you realize the tax cuts really aren't tax cuts? They are just an extension of the tax cuts that are set to expire next year. And they benefit most who pay incomes taxes in American.
Biden's campaign in 2020 was further left than Kamala's this time around and he won going away. So I don't think the woke stuff made a difference.
Folks who push for equal rights for all Americans are not "woke".
That is simply common decency, and the foundation of our Constitution.
Or they knew what they were getting in both candidates as Trump was already in office and Harris essentially is right now.
People know how things went under both and realized it was better under Trump.
You talk like paying off student loans is a great thing. You’re joking right? Let’s just tell these know it all recent college grads that they don’t have to pay off loans. That should go over great.
Nope
They benefit the top 1%. People who do not actually hold regular jobs.
And the loss of that revenue is a major contributor to our deficits. Which are projected to balloon another $9T under what Trump and conservatives have proposed.
You won't hear a peep about the deficit now though. You know that? We all know Mark the national debt man will be stepping aside. I volunteer to step in and make sure everyone is aware of it on a regular basis. Sound good @markfromj ?
Nothing of much consequence.
Compared to the massive reductions the rich got. And because there will be less federal investment in local infrastructure/support, my property taxes are likely to balloon to make up that gap.
You are in the minority. More than half of Americans think your views are full of shit. They are tired of it. Keep it up and the same results will smack you in the face.
By the way did you remove all the mirrors in you house after posting this.
On the bright side you get to be a ********** for the next 4 years, if not till the end.
ALL politicians say things that help get them elected, most know they can never actually accomplish it. This is not unique to one party or the other.
My guess on his popularity is based on a number of things. I watched CNN or maybe MSNBC, and they showed a map of counties in the US with various shades of brown (and a very few green counties) The colors detailed the counties where wages outpaced inflation. Those very few, and I mean very few, counties were signified in green. The counties where inflation outpaced wages were in brown, the darker the brown was the worse off people were in their day to day lives, affordability of living I suppose. A few green counties in the entire US, a huge majority of the country was darker brown in color. It had to be close to 98%. The big picture economy is great, the individual economy not so much according to that map. They feel Trump will help them in that area.
I obviously can't speak for others, but that is a big reason in my opinion.
Are you SURE about that?
100% If we are both still here in 4 years I would wager $100 on that with you. Up for it?
My company absorbed the tariff costs and looked for other suppliers where a tariff wouldn’t be implemented.
I'm right. This one time. How about we just wager bragging rights? Up for that?
The people who post on this board don't think like the average presidential election voter. We are much more invested and engaged. The average voter pays little attention to the issues that are discussed here. I don't understand Trump's appeal but I think that is because I'm more engaged. I suspect the typical voter doesn't find some of Trump's behavior alarming because that don't know about or just have kind of heard about it in passing.
Criminals, unqualified asylum applicants and visa overstays.. Control the border and that will be enough.
Gay marriage was one, only recently enabled.
Just a few decades ago, it was inter-racial marriage.
Women miscarrying are already being denied preventive care to eliminate the risk they will develop serious complications.
Watch for IVF and certain conception drugs being on the chopping block soon.
I'm reminded of an OBGYN who posted a story about her patient who was getting an exam for a uterine/cervical procedure and was given a prescription for one of the "abortion drugs", which is required pre-op to soften up those muscle tissues so the surgeon has easier access.
Pharmacist would not fill the prescription because "it was an abortion drug". Angry OBGYN had to call the pharmacy while on her vacation, and demand it be filled as "my patient has not had a period since the Nixon administration" and this drug has nothing to do with "abortion".
Watch for loads of consumer rights/protections evaporating, workplace rights, etc. Chevron Doctrine evaporating has now put judges in charge of what is "safe" or "not safe" for environmental and medical options. That's going to get very very messy. Under these new "rules", there is zero chance things like asbestos or anything else would ever be deemed "unsafe", and regular Americans will bear the brunt of what Big Business wants so it can maximize profits at our expense.
that didn't answer my question. Who doesn't have equal rights?
I think it’s somewhat realistic that the GOP burns Trump. Vance has stated he doesn’t like Trump, right? I doubt that suddenly changed, but he’s smart and he (and the GOP) can use Trump. Look at 2016 to 2020. Trump was the means to an end packing the federal courts with conservative justices.
Trump will be 80 in a couple years, right? What’s to stop them from deeming him mentally unfit, whether technically true or not, in order to invoke the 25th amendment. Vance supports Project 2025. I think that might be a more frightening reality.
I love these posts because the irony is just so rich.
We couldn't elect Harris because of ....some policy that was tooooo much!
Trump? Oh, of course he won't implement any of the policies he promised.
We voted on the issues!!!

Glad you loved it. Who said we couldn't elect Harris? I would have been fine with her being elected.
