We have a lot of major problems. Will economy , housing , and Dow Collapse with Trump policies?

The illegal war with Iran causing inflation and gas prices heading for $8 a gallon

Inflation at 4% which will be 5 or 6% next month. It is really 15% when you figure everything in.

Trump was left a big mess to clean up. He closed the border, deported 3.5 million illegal aliens, brought down energy prices and got control of inflation. It has been 2.4% for most of his second term, he has imposed tariffs to secure better trade deals and secure 19 trillion dollars of foreign investment in the United States.

Unempoyment has been 4.2% which is basically full employment and the GDP has increased a healthy 2.1% in 2025.

All three major indexes have closed at record levels and Americans received the largest tax cut in history,

Democrats keep screaming about high gas prices but when Biden was president it more than doubled whet it was when he became president and inflation was 9..9%. It would have been more but under Biden's presidency energy costs were not figured into the inflation numbers because they claimed it was too "volatile" .

Democrats are the biggest problem facing the US. They have been trying to stop President Trump's Pro American agenda and if they got the chance they would drag us all back to the disastrous Biden administration.

Prices are higher with Trump because he shut border down , Illegals worked for less. Wrong or right it is the truth. His wars, and Tariffs making everything more expensive. Trump has made it too expensive to make it in America.

[exitseven]

How can prices be higher with a low rate of inflation? Prices spiked when Biden was in office and often during inflationary periods the prices do not go down but they do not rise like before,. Items like eggs, bread and some other products did decrease but most just stayed where they were.
Since gas prices were artificially raised because the Strair of Hormuz has been closed but soon Iran will be reduced to ashes and commerce will go back to normal.

[888theGreat]

inflation has gone up each month with Trump. When you figure all expenses people that are alive and eat is really 15% , not the fake numbers coming out of Wash DC.

[exitseven]

it has been around 2.4% for most of Trumps second term. The avg rate in 2025 was 2.6. Trump fired the bean counters that Biden had because the numbers all had to revised upwards, He found people who could do a better job.

[888theGreat]

Its a stupid number , not close to real. As expenses and not all figured in , just certain ones selected. Food reduced in size but same price is counted 0 inflation , when it is really 50% inflation.

[exitseven]

Yes, the so called basket of goods can be manipulated Under Biden gas was excluded from the mix because they said it was too volatile.

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

No. Blaming Trump as the main cause is too pretty moronic. We been dealing with serious problems before he got back into office thanks to Biden: border failures, inflation, reckless federal spending, foreign aid priorities, public distrust, and a general sense that regular Americans were being ignored.

You can criticize Trump on specific things, but acting like America was stable and healthy until he showed up again is not wise. A lot of this damage was already in motion under Biden and the democrats

[888theGreat]

No, nothing like Trump has done. He has spent more than any President. National Debt more than any President. Taxed the people via Tariffs more than any President. Used up more weapons than any President. Started more wars and bombed more countries than any President , Raised prices for everything more than any President. .

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

if you ask me that is a lot of claims lumped in one, and most of them need to be separated before they mean anything. Saying “more than any president” over and over is not an argument by itself.

Debt, prices, war, tariffs, and foreign policy all have different causes, and a lot of those problems were already building before Trump came back into office.

Pick the strongest one of those claims and argue that one. Otherwise this is just a list of accusations, not a serious case that Trump is the main cause of America’s problems.

[msc545]

No, sorry. It's not a list of accusations. It is, in fact, a list of the events that occurred as a result of his behavior and his ignorance. I know you don't like it, and that's too bad.

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

@msc545 like you said, "sorry"

saying “these events happened” is not the same as proving Trump was the main cause of them. you're totally skipping that part.

Debt, inflation, foreign policy, tariffs, and global conflict all have multiple causes across multiple administrations, especially under Biden who wasted $1.9 trillion on a useless vaccine, almost $200 billions arming Ukraine over a war that had nothing to do with us, leaving the border open and insecure and I can keep on going.

If the claim is that Trump is the main cause, then the argument needs to show causation, not just list problems and attach his name to them. that is not how proof of an argument works

[msc545]

Now, actually, you can make that argument as much as you want, but you need to show that Trump didn't cause the problems, because the truth is he did. Creating them was his idea, which he said publicly. He created the precursors for all of that stuff. And you're not going to get him out of it with your weak logic in this.

[msc545]

What is it with you people who can't think clearly? Still attempting to defend Trump? Is your thinking that defective?

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

@msc545 You're the one making the claim, so you're the one that needs to prove causation. Asking me to prove a negative is not an argument. If your case is that Trump caused these problems, show the direct link. Otherwise this is just blame-shifting with insults attached.

[msc545]

Now, all you have done is make a list of accusations, and you want people to somehow believe that your accusations contain truth. How about you see a single iota of truth in anything you have said?

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

@msc545 There is a difference between saying problems existed before Trump and saying Trump caused them. You are making the stronger claim, so why dont you put your money where your mouth is instead of pointing fingers and playing the victim game?

also I like to point out that you have a history in this site for hiding behind the blocking button whenever your own arguments backfire on you, I can see why you got a pussy as your profile pic.

so either back up what you're saying or go do what you're notoriously known for.

[msc545]

Least I don't have a history on this site of hiding behind pseudonyms so that nobody can tell who is really writing it. I don't much give a fuck what you think or what you don't think about what I write or what I do or saying. You made the initial claim that the mentally ill monster that you support was not responsible for any of the problems. Since you made that initial claim You support it or just shut the fuck up.

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

@msc545 I guess I hit a nerve huh?

" I don't much give a fuck what you think or what you don't think about what I write or what I do or saying. "

wow you sure sound pretty defensive for a person who claims not to give a fuck. you should of thought about all of that before you stormed in my OP making a fool of yourself. and again this is my OP so I'm the one who should be telling you to stfu or better yet go hide in your safe sanctuary that you go to whenever you lose an argument

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

oh I guess you already did, why am I not surprised your s/n doesn't light up in blue anymore?

till then try not to cry so hard while you hide behind that block buttom

He would take credit if anything was going well so he gets blame when everything is horrible.

[loveslongnails]

In terms of economics, yes. In terms. In terms of violating too many laws to count, yes. In terms of corruption, yes, (there's more, I'm stopping there) ...
... but in terms of tapping into the mob mentality or hate, fear, white supremacy, and blatant ignorance, that's on the people who supported him and blindly still do. There are just too many dumb ass Americans willing to follow without thinking.

[Anonymous]

No, Democrats are. Democrats won the exclusive right to be the cause of every problem the US has ever faced and if you don’t think so then you disagree politically with any anti-Right opinion ever posted by the people who liked this question What do you think about Democrats winning EVERYTHING tonight?

[Dargil]

No. Democrats are. They are the main cause of everything bad in this country. But of course you know that.

[Snakeyes7]

If anyone's the cause of our problems now it's the activist judges blocking Trump from fixing things and the ones letting clearly deranged criminals back on the street to murder another day.

[Likes2drive]

Inflation has been about the same and probably employment too and of course it’s gonna get worse before it can get better because of all the things he’s trying to do

[msc545]

Trump and his behavior are causing the problems.
