Lol.

I love the monikers in the title.

This is just the early stages of the Trump economy. Mirrors his business results prior to entering politics.
So much winning!

My head won’t stop spinning from all that winning!

Yeah, based on Trump’s campaign, I thought we’d see new investment all over the place, that Tariffs were going to pay for childcare, and inflation (MAGAs call it “eggs”) would drop day one.

Instead we’ve got:
- Lower GDP
- Inflation ticking up
- layoffs in the public and private sector that he never talked about
- veterans being fired for performance and 80k jobs at the VA cut

Can’t wait to see what his tariffs bring…yippeee!

 

[CharYoteHawk]

The Trump/Reynolds economy is HUMMING.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Iowa is ground zero MAGAstan and the results confirm it.

Not possible. A certain poster not to be named but rhymes with crispykneltbelowthemango assured me, just this morning, the economy is great!!!

It is.




My favorite part about you guys adding the whirlpool layoffs to this is the very clear answer the ceo gave. "This has nothing to do with the tariffs ans everything to do with demand for this type of appliance".


Also, you all have to get off gas stoves.... per trump. Or something.

Da Hitman prefers us to be clean. But we've got to live our best lives.

 

[jonesy5960]

Don't worry Iowa. There's billions in farm subsidy handouts coming to the rescue courtesy of the American taxpayers.

You're welcome.

 

[Tiny Hands Trump]

Did going the Kansas route not result in a huge economic boom?

I am shocked.

Wash your cracks when you get out of the interstate bathhouses and the @HawkeyeHitman will be pleased. Send pics of clean cracks his way, if possible.

 

[Huey Grey]

Da Hitman prefers his men like dis. Nice n Clean. Nice n Sexy. See dat crack DaHitman? Spotless. You can eat off datt crack. Munch munch. He even wear a hairnet down dere. He satisfy your sanitary fantasies.

But hey, our cancer numbers are outstanding. So, we got that going for us. Which is good.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

That's not good news for Iowa considering that recently the state's year over year GDP growth was 50th out of 50 states. We're dead last folks and our prospects suck.

I bet if Iowa withholds the development money for the few growing places and instead redirects it to BFE where no one wants to live things will change.

Good news though. Kim Reynolds just cited a Heritage Foundation study that ranks Iowa #1 in downward economic mobility freedom.

Yeah, but you can't read about boys kissing in the junior high library now, so we are ALL WINNERS!

They never learn

That's why Trump and Reynolds want to make Canada the 51st State...this State won't be the bottom dweller.

 

[MitchLL]

Reynolds is a genius...all these layoffs she's contributing to...those laid off workers can fill those positions currently held by Brown people being deported.

Damn, I'd like to meet her in person.

 

[sabula]

Dim Kim and Bonespurs. Driving Iowa to be worse than Mississippi. And all the maga lemmings close their eyes and ears and seem to approve.
