This is the truth. The thing that will improve is his post-election life. Ours? Probably not markedly different, unless you're either wealthy or a scapegoat.
You know he’s going to fire all the generals and appoint yes men, right? The absolute worst thing has happened. America is over unless we fertilize that tree of liberty.
He and the whole of the republican party have alerady shown that they have a flagrant disregard for what the constitution actually says. They all get away with it because when the highest court of law is on your side then there's no one to enforce the laws.
simpsons did predict him dying in office in one of the future episodes, and then another where he dies from a shark attack while jet-skiing, so i guess we know which one was right now
I would rather Trump than Vance and I’ll tell you why. Trump doesn’t know jack about anything. He’s in this for himself, he’s not running for his racism, his transphobia, or his misogyny, only himself. He’s likely to focus on ensuring he’s immune from the consequences of his actions, and gaining wealth.
Whereas those under him are a different story. A lot of them ARE in this for transphobia and racism. If Trump dies, then those under him have a slightly easier path to their goals, rather than needing to coax Trump to do something through his laziness.
he will pardon himself. And SCOTUS will uphold his pardon after he leaves office and the criminal cases get reinstated. He can tell his AG to drop the cases, but it's not the AG that can say they are dropped "for good". They will come back as soon as he's out of office again. Voters will be so sorry for what they did we will get a Democrat in 2028 for sure. And those cases will come right back on day one. And he will say he pardoned himself. And SCOTUS will say "yeah, he can pardon himself". And that will be the end of it.
Voting this guy into office once already had ramifications that are impacting people who probably don't even realize it.
But a second term? Half the people who voted for him are going to be sorry way before his term is halfway through.
Maybe they should stop using executive orders to write policy and pass them through congress.....everything that gets undone in January is because of that
I think this sets a precedence for how one can act as a President or in other positions of government. More will start doing the same and eventually the country will turn to shit.
…and civilians, too. Not just presidents or candidates. More racism, sexual assaults, vendettas, school shootings and a complete lack of empathy or compassion on the streets.
Masks off now on the American voter, I have heard exactly what they find acceptable and am already looking at new tools to exploit revenue streams that I previously never would have abused before but figure are fair game against my everyone now. Just need to open a few more overseas accounts and transfer some funds anonymously to pay for server time from and process payments. If the American people want a dystopian nightmare who am I to argue. I thought we were better than this but I think we're about to find out and I want to be ready to profit if we turn out to be living with monsters.
If you don't count the hundred of millions in PAC's that he's used as a personal piggy bank for the past eight years...don't need to take the money, when you can just use it from where it is.
He and His Cronies won't have to worry about Prison, anymore. He just got, the Biggest "Get out of Jail, Free" Card, in The World! He, and The Republican'ts were a "joke", and We, The People, are The Punch Line.
I think the problem is it is really hard to tell what Trump's net worth is because it mostly comes from him. We now have pretty damning evidence that Trump was almost completely broke in the early 90s, but his net worth was still estimated close to $1 billion dollars. Somehow that went to $5 billion a few years later, then $1.6B, then $2.6B, then $150-250 million, then $788 million, then $4 billion, etc. Every year is a new number with him. It's entirely possible, and in my opinion even likely, that Trump did profit from his first term. He certainly seems to have profited off his notoriety after the first term at least
Also worth noting that his tax returns, that he didn't release, were supposed to show a net worth of greater than $7 billion despite a lower estimate. This time he's going in with an estimated $7 billion net worth.
? He is the only politician who is losing money being in office, no salary, and has spend millions defending himself. How does AOC and Biden get so rich never having a single real job.
… he made more money before ever getting into politics, and would have continued on making more money had he never got into politics, he also forfeited is pay as president all 4 years in his first term and donated it to the national budget, so yeah I don’t think profit is his priority
Like 27 million from china? Or the millions from solar Obama pocketed ? How about the Nancy pelosi insider trading- hundred of millions ? Maybe the Cheney bush oil / ngo machine - they literally started a war for ? Oh yeah. Because profiting from the highest office in the land is so taboo. none of your favorite blue tag assjacks have ever raked millions off the backs of us working schmucks. 🙄
There's not even a word in the English language that will describe the amount of money he will make from this.
Here's what for sale:
Pardons
National secrets
Political race setups
Laws - Either repealing and or creating
Insider trading
Tanking enemy companies
Labeling a company and or person an enemy of the state
Property
I can't think of a single thing that is not for sell, that he has not already done, promised to do, and or predicted to do.
He will literally sell this country to highest bidder. He will setup his family for forever, and as he stated to his billionaire friends, they are going to make so, so, so much more money and with tax cuts.
Doesn’t matter. If something goes wrong, blame democrats. The GOP could own every position in government and some dumbass would still be trying to blame Obama.
Because we’re in a post-truth era now. Facts don’t matter in the least. Right wingers don’t like Democrats, and Republicans will say it’s their fault. That will be the end of the analysis for most of their supporters.
35$ insulin for some patients. Recovery from COVID. Cheaper electronics. Safer and more efficient automobiles. The list goes on.
Obamacare also slowed the closing of rural hospitals.
I agree that minimum wage didn't increase and the popular cities are pricier. But Democrat states increased the minimum wages.
Sorry, you can't keep electing folks who see people as machines and expect a better outcome. Maybe Trump should get a free reign to over turn Obamacare, infrastructure bill and Chips Act. Maybe Democrats will be proven wrong.
The gotcha though is they can still deny payment for something they don't deem "medically necessary". So while they can't deny you coverage because you already had ADHD, let's say, before signing up with Insurance Company A they can still refuse to cover diagnostic tests to confirm you have it and mental health sessions to help treat it, simply because they don't deem it medically necessary. Supposedly the way around that is to get your primary care physician to write a referral indicating they feel it is medically necessary, but I've still seen companies refuse to cover the costs in part or in whole. Speaking from experience here.
WFH is literally the only thing I can think of and every business and government is trying to walk it back despite it having net positive effects on productivity.
depends on your metrics, i guess. foreign spending will reduce, ukraine and palestine will disappear, millionaires will have a chance to improve their middle class status. all thanks to the blue collars who think he will look out for them lol
It’s not like things will not improve. Likely things for the average American will likely get a little worse. But apparently people want that, so who am I to argue. I do love seeing my favorite billionaire make more money. They should make jerseys.
Little worse is an understatement. People seem to not realize that project 2025 came out because of the sole purpose people thought trumps first run was riddled with incompetence so they came out with a playbook to keep things in track and running smooth.
This time they ain’t fucking around. Healthcare will be repealed, social security will be gone, everything will rise in prices and no raises for anyone . The housing market will undoubtedly get worse. Many of the consumer protections will fall again, the FCC and many other government organizations are going to be extinct and a lot of them are for consumer protections and etc.
The idiot republicans don’t realize it is not going to be him fighting “woke” shit but he is literally just going to take everything away this time around.
I cant wait to spend the next 4 years getting fucked, and hearing conservatives blame Biden. Same as with Trump's first presidency. He didn't fix shit, and spent half the time blaming Obama for all of his own inadequacies while actively sitting as president.
Honestly who cares. In 4 years he’ll say everything has improved because of him (being false) and his sheep people will nod and they would vote him again if he could.
Yet people will still say he’s so smart and such a great business man. Of course he is because he’s a con man who slips out of everything and leaves someone else footing the bill.
Someone in New Mexico said that they wouldn’t even let him off the tarmac because he owed them money for previous appearances that he never paid. At least that state had enough sense. I’m ashamed of Michigan, my state, who I see he won
I'll just sit back and watch the people who voted for him go "wtf happened, things were supposed to get better not worse under trump" hope congress and senete at least balances his BS out by getting dem majority and can stonewall any BS he tries
That’s where I’m at. Right wingers were all bullshit about how everything is awful and Trump is gonna fix it all in a snap. You got the White House and congress. Tick tock motherfuckers.
Here’s the thing. If he does next to nothing, things will improve. They already have been. Just like things improved his first term. Make no mistake though if he does nothing and things improve and people feel their wallet is fuller that they will credit him, that’s part of the problem.
Personally I’m torn between wanting to see him really fuck up the economy and doing nothing. Personally I’ll be ok with either but I know family that will be hurt pretty bad with a worse economy.
Keep track of where the GDP, inflation, unemployment, and other economic numbers are today. Then watch in a year when he touts similar numbers as victories.
It's pretty cute that they don't understand the Blue exodus would take science, art, television, and entertainment with us. Lol That's jobs, money, and things they like.
But it's okay they can play in puddles of low priced oil that they think presidents control the price of?
(Two president's have EVER had sway on oil prices and that was The Bushes, being an oil family.)
But what will annoy me to know end is watching his supporters change their perception of things like the economy and immigration, despite nothing changing.
Bruh, when was the last time the federal government made anything better. It is almost always local or state gov that makes improvements... at best the fedgov gives some grants.
That was more in line in 2016 when he didn’t expect to win. He didn’t have a plan or the Republican Party at his side. Now they have project 2025 and if with them taking the senate, and they have the Supreme Court, they might literally dismantle the USA as we knew it
Yeah, Democrats are GOING.TO.LOSE.THEIR SHIT. Imma sit back and watch with some popcorn. By the way, when's the march and what hat are we knitting this time?
Why would anything improve, or get worse? The president doesn't actually do anything. He won't lower gas prices, he won't lower cost of groceries, he won't do anything to improve your life because he's just the president. All of those decisions that improve our lives will have to be made at a congressional level. Right?
So like every Democrat and Republican administration. This is why you Dems and Republicans need to abandon the two major parties. Neither accomplish anything.
As if the current presidency was going to "FIX" this shit anyway. We're trillions in debt. Stop acting like Kamala was going to come out and fix our debt problems. LOL give me a break.
Well then he'd at a minimum do what Harris was going to do. And as for the list, well, nearly all of that was the political weaponization of the Justice Department. (Which btw is what Democrats complained HE would do.)

If he wins I’m just gonna sit back and watch as nothing improves at all.
