Trump single handedly restarted Iran's nuclear program in his first term.....and now he took military action to clean up his own mess. Congratulations, I guess? I agree with the strike despite the facts of the former part of that sentence. Im shocked Charles with all his neo-con WW3 pants-pissing suddenly found the fortitude to agree to military force in the Middle East after warning about the dangers of foriegn wars and all the spending and lost lives that result.
ANd I applaud the S&P going right back to where it was when Trump took offfice. Good things happen when he renegs on all the stupid economic trade policies he enacted in April. We are in the midst of an AI boom which could be bigger than the dot-com boom of the 90's. Shouldnt be hard to get to record highs....but it has been hard. It took him 6 months and a huge crash when he tried to implement his campaign promises. Good thing he has money in the market too.
Regardless those are both positive developments.
BUT There's reasons why he's the least popular president in history at this stage of his tenure.
-Deportations with masked ICE agents seizing working immigrants instead of the criminals and gang members.
-DOGE killing a million jobs for veterans and other essential employees
-Trump flagrant corruption taking billions into his own pocket with direct gifts, his crypto grift, and marketing of new products (did you buy his new phone yet)?
-Record deficits on the way despite bullshit DOGE
-Trump's FEMA giving the finger to Asheville, NC and killing its staff for future disasters.
-Toursim to the US with all of its financial benefits is being killed because the rest of the world hates our president and doesnt feel safe here
-Trump illegally muscling universities, law firms, and the free press
-Soon to be cut benefits to millions of Medicaid and SNAP recipients that believe it or not dont just go to inner city black people like Republicans have convinced themselves
-Continued wedge building with Canada, Greenland,Panama - just to name 3. WTF?
-And the Supreme Court's credibility is at an all time low in part because of the decisions Charles' referenced.
But we're still standing....God bless America. Just not the asshole in the White House.
