Are you beginning to lose faith in Trump?

[IHaveRespawned]

The Xiden regime was an absolute nightmare and catastrophe. Bidenflation; toxic identity politics, DEI, CRT, and social engineering; massive infiltration of illegal aliens; lawfare, retaliation, and surveillance of everyday Americans with conservative ideologies; and a cognitive decline of a sitting president were some of the many disasters of that era.

Trump has tackled many of these issues head-on and has done an impressive job with certain issues.

But there is one issue that is probably the most important of them all: the financial and economic impacts the everyday middle-class and working-class Americans face. My family is on the brink of collapse and financial ruin. We are among the many families we know who are struggling to afford even the most basic essentials like groceries, healthcare, and housing. Many are one unexpected emergency away from homelessness if not already there. Are we going to be able to pull out of this?

Yes

No

I never had faith

See poll

I said see poll, but it's a no.

I'm sorry for your situation and I wonder what is really going on there.

What you said, is very well stated! I have concerns, but Trump is attempting to bring so much investment into USA... look at all the commitments obtained. Will they actually be built... and how long that take? It may be a time of great migration, to where the investment is going. He is drawing down government and inflating private enterprise.

Look at all the $ going to Pennsyvania for economy like power and data centers, AI, chip factories, etc.. You may have to reinvent and move.

There's always winners and loses with any govt. I've seen a bunch of govts and some people ahve been wiped out by them, so you must remain vigilant, adapt and evolve. there is no doubt the economy is shifting as AI comes in, robotics, etc.. Some jobs may go away, others anew.

I've seen so much succes around, it's hard to understand the failures. But I have seeen small businesses like food eateries go under... just too difficult with costs rising.

You are feeling the infation hitting of the prior decades, massive spending on wars and wasted $. With all the illegals kicked out, Id think there's a lot more labor jobs... not that they pay well... but I have guys that do lawn mowing and do ok it seems. Question is, why aren't you all succeeding? You need to dig into that.

I cannot put it all on Trump or Biden or anyone, you have to look at what works, and do that. Evolve as you need to. No... that's not easy sometimes...

you should see. the old town I came from in the 1990s... wiped out! could buy a house for $1... wasn't worth spending that. Now, those things are worth huge $. Economies change, fortunes change.

I am considered disabled right now. I am mainly talented in web development and software engineering. I have previous EMS/public safety experience too.

[lightbulb27]

develop some AI products for EMS/public safety and sell them:)!
skills should be useful, but so much is specialization now and whom you know. I used to do that work but it's been too long to make a suggestion.

It’s not about faith in the president. His policies are the right ones exactly because they don’t fix anything overnight. We’ve had their bandaid stimulus packages every presidency for the last two decades and we’re still up a creek. Rebuilding a strong and independent economy with durable and valuable currency isn’t going to happen in a flash. It took years of bad policies and practices to get here. Even wanting the fix to come in six months is childish. Drumpf is making smart moves. A lot of people can’t see it for a couple of reasons. One, they know literally nothing about how our economy functions and how fragile it is right now. Two, they’re too busy commiserating to see beyond themselves.
We have responsibilities here too. Stop patronizing the multinational corporations that put their profits ahead of the US citizens and our domestic economy. Shop and buy locally. More importantly, buy union made, especially when it’s coming from outside the USA. There’s no point in any of this if people insist on buying cheap imported crap to save a few pennies.

Trumps not going to solve your economic irresponsibility for you. If housing is too expensive where you currently live, then move to a location with cheaper housing. If even that is too expensive for you, then live in a van. If your grocery bill is too high, then use coupons, take advantage of BOGO deals, by staples and be more involved in making basic foods like bread rather than buying prepared foods, eat cheaper foods like beans and rice, get in line at a charity food pantry, grow a garden to bring down your grocery bill, etc. If you can't afford health insurance, then go without. You're 29 years old, most people don't start having health issues until they are in their late 50s, you have decades of insurance dodging in front of you and if you eat cheap foods like oatmeal for breakfast it will help keep your cholesterol and blood pressure healthy. Get your daily sunshine to keep your vitamin D levels normal. Get exercises to keep your bones, joints, heart, and lungs in good shape. Shave the fat and build economic stability. Live within your means. The oil industry doesn't turn on a dime. So while Trump has created the conditions for cheaper energy, it will take some time. Food prices don't drop over night. There are crop cycles that depend on past fuel and fertilizer costs. Housing prices only drop in times of economic downturn. Wages rise with demand for labor. Trump has attracted $15 trillion of private investment into the USA. The economy will grow over time as that money is spent to grow the economy. As the economy grows, wages will follow.

No! I'm just a bit cranky with him!! I don't have any way of understanding or putting a cap on the pedo-files.
