This Trump presidency began with a lot of promise for those of us who want to see an end to so many of the toxic things poisoning our society and our economic future. On a number of fronts, there are good developments that can be celebrated. However, everything they have done is being unnecessarily and quite foolishly being put on the line in the name of these ridiculous tariff and economically idiotic policies. As such, if someone were to call and ask me if I approve or disapprove of the job the president is doing, I would say that I disapprove.
Trump was elected to do three things. Deal with inflation, fix immigration and try to bring peace. There are many other factors but those are the most basic ones. He's done well with immigration but his policies on inflation are going to do the opposite of what he was elected to do. Also, his foreign policy has been really absurd. He's done to Canada what he did to Georgia. He has quite literally given life to the left in Canada and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory for conservatives there. Why? It's all so wrong-headed and just flat dumb!
We don't need jobs from the past. The idea put forward from people in the Trump admin that jobs which were lost have been devastating to Americans is divorced from reality. Those jobs aren't coming back. We do need an industrial base in the US. But we are further down the line than the nations we are going to economic war with for no good reason. And all of this is just going to bring about higher costs for everyone which will use up Trump's capital very quickly. It will destroy his chances to bring about meaningful change on the ideas he has which are good. The best thing the first Trump admin did was lower taxes and get out of the way. That's what they should do now. This robust effort for government to control the economy is not constitutional. He doesn't have the power to just levy tariffs on countries. The Congress should neuter his efforts here immediately.
I'm so frustrated by all this which I knew I would be when it started because this guy just can't help himself. And Vance is so wrong-headed on so many issues that I will be starting my campaign to stop Vance right away. For such a smart person, he's got some backward ass views on foreign policy and economic policy. No thank you!
Trump's fan club better wake up soon. This is not on a good course. I could go on and on about why the economic thinking here is so bad. But let's just stick with trying to create jobs in favor of higher prices for every American is not going to work. He better alter his thinking to address inflation quickly. We're not going to pay off our debt with trade tariffs. That people around Trump think that is scary. All you need is half a brain and 2 mins to do the calculations to realize this.
I hope they wake up!
