As winter turns to spring in 2026, American politics is experiencing a bit of economic-messaging déjà vu from the Trump administration.
Much like last year at this time, the president has leapt headlong into a major new undertaking that threatens to rock an already-wobbly economy. And much like last year, the administration is asking Americans to accept some “short-term pain” for promised long-term gain.
In 2025, it was tariffs. In 2026, it’s the war with Iran.
Americans aren’t even willing to make sacrifices for the things they claim to want
Edit: this graph is probably outdated since now the National debt is soon to reach 39T… so add another 2 T to the pedophiles pie there. Fucking moron.
Tell the idiot the trick of this pie is to NOT have the biggest slice…
I’m awful at math, but how the hell is 12.5 a third of 24.5?!
$12.5T is about a third of the total, which is $37T. $24.5T is the other ~2/3s
Ahhh yeah this makes sense, thanks :)
It’s not, it’s about one half. But the chart is of three halves and one of the three belongs to Trump.
I get it now, thanks :)
Won’t that get worse when they have to pay back the tariff money? I assume they don’t just have the money laying around and they are just going to borrow more to pay those.
I imagine it’ll get a lot worse. You gotta include legal fees from all the companies that will be suing for the refund.
Is this adjusted for inflation? Not that I think Trump is any less of a fucking moron if it isn’t, just curious
Given that it is the current debt in today’s dollars, it is automatically adjusted for inflation.
The tariffs were deemed illegal and now need to be refunded.
But not to you or I.
Nope. In fact the cost of the refunds will be passed onto the taxpayer, just like the cost of the tariffs were passed onto to the consumer. We get to pay for them twice.
Trump keeps TELLING Americans to sacrifice.
FIFY
With entitlement you don’t ask.
I’m wondering when will Americans pick up pitchforks and drag this orange scum out of the White House and hang him on a street lamp by his balls. Like, what the serious actual fuck? Not only Trump fucked up USA entirely, his dumbass war on Iran pushed entire world into like 8th “once in a lifetime” bullshit crisis.
I think a gas station is more fitting these days.
Unfortunately would never happen. They’re to cowardly and the majority still support all of them in power.
If they weren’t so indoctrinated they would be a nation with free healthcare care for all, actual social security nets and offerings, and persecuting those bars in the Epstein lists.
But no they cower begging for scraps whilst other nations get ready to send US children to die on some sand dune.
Less about bravery and more about acting as a group without being paid to do so. We have plenty of lone wolves but that’s not what’s needed.
If they didn’t want it, why did they vote for it?
I don’t want it and I didn’t vote for it. There millions like me.
Millions of cowards who refuse to fight back
Got an internet warrior over here. There are activists doing things all over the country. Unless you think citizens can take on the US military, in which case you’re dumber than your post makes you look.
If you think your OWN military is a direct threat to you and you AREN’T taking action, I’m not sure what to tell you.
“There are activist doing things” is some Trump speak. Nobody is doing a damn thing.
More Americans voted for Trump than any other candidate.
More Americans voted for Trump than any other candidate.
Not sure if you mean in that particular race or ever.
In that particular race, there was a 0.9% margin.
Ever, Biden actually holds the lead with the most total votes.
At least, according to the stats listed here: https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-States-Presidential-Election-Results-1788863
Not sure if you mean in that particular race or ever.
Of course I meant in that particular race. Trump received the most votes of the candidates in the 2024 presidential, general election.
So we generalize everyone as having voted him in power?
More not like you though. And “your” side is pathetic they never do anything when in power and don’t complain like the right does when they are not.
So you don’t understand how FPtP works and it’s implications. That’s clear at least.
