Trump Administration Predictions (1 Viewer)

So Trump inherited a great economy.
You are playing bait and switch. Obama was not in your original post. What you wrote is below.
This inflation started in his 1st Term, and it took 4 years to get it under control.
Biden did not bring inflation under control. You are blowing smoke. You have no credibility.
 
Biden apparently illegally invited 10+ million people to invade this country. Currently most of them appear to be welfare recipients. Why aren't they working? What is their educational level? Do they even speak English?
Do you any actual evidence that most illegal immigrants are on welfare? They are not eligible.

I noticed that you shifted your position from being against non-Europeans to being against any foreigners. Or any outsiders?

No Obama was not, but you were using stats to prove your erroneous points. So now we have better ones, and you repeat your same old line,. "No credibility". That is your belief system. Your blanket refusal to see any truth but your cool aid induced dogma.
Maybe you're not hurting anyone, but you are surely not helping yourself. Show some wisdom, for a change.

Do you have any evidence that they are not?
Why do we see headlines such as the one below?

Inflation peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, the highest in about 40 years.
So Trump is no better than Biden.
What and absurd statement. Where is your evidence? Do you even do any research?
In 2018, under Trump, the Consumer Price Index (on an annual basis) rose by 2.44%
in 2022, under Biden, the Consumer Price Index (on an annual basis) rose by 8.00%
So far, in 2025, based on averaging partial year results, the Consumer Price Index has risen by approximately 2.73%. (Of course you would claim that this is an example of Biden "success" because Trump's economics have yet to impact the economy. However, this does not negate the fact that Biden had an inflationary economy where inflation exceeded 4% for 3 out of 4 years.)


PS: Since posting ran across this article, which is now a massive ticking-time bomb that was created by Biden. Under Biden a massive amount of liabilities (student loans) were temporarily "removed" from the economy. Now those liabilities have been restored and will have to be paid back. This will become an economic nightmare that the Democrats have created.

I wouldn't phrase it that way. Biden was never known for setting the bar high. Even in his prime, he was a mediocre senator. He’ll likely be best remembered for raising awareness about prostate and mental health, which is a good thing. Biological men over 40 should have regular PSA screenings.
 
Closing the border cost more than $6-7 billion. As is usual with Trump, spending increased.
So you think it takes no agents to close the border? The fence doesn't stop all traffic but it does impede it and allow fewer agents to cover the miles of border. I was originally against the fence and I still don't like having to have it there. But the thousands of people crossing were and still are an invasion. They don't all have to be carrying guns for this to be an invasion. These people are coming to steal from our broken welfare system and they are taking resources that belong to poor citizens and legal residents. Trump has slowed the influx to a crawl.
 
I blame immigration restrictionists who have made it too hard to enter the US legally, despite the strong demand for labor. A closed border is inherently an expensive border.
Try to immigrate to Australia if you want to see restrictions. I would prefer an open border. However open borders are totally incompatible with welfare states. Personally, my choice would be to give up the welfare state and open the border;)

Americans will and have done every job there is to do. The welfare state has crippled their will to work. They'd rather be on the dole than do the hard jobs for slave wages. As a kid, I (and my friends) used to pick vegetables for the local truck farm whenever we needed money. We were shorter so it was actually easier for us.

So it cost money to close the border. You missed the flip side which is how much does an open border cost? You purposely neglected to consider the cost of an open border, where each illegal immigrant needs to be fed, clothed, health care, housing etc. To assist you with that, I am re-posting the article below. In the article below, the figure of $5 billion is for one city alone. Now multiply that by all the welfare being provided all across the country. Closing the border is the cheaper alternative. Trump is saving the US $$$$$$$$.
 
Projection.
I make my words clear, no ambiguities, or ambivalence. I think you are so stuck in your dogmen that you are unable to allow yourself any room for critical thinking.

That is not an insult, it's an observation.

The problem with illegal immigration is the rate at which it occurs. When it's a trickle, it's easier to manage, but when thousands rush the border, it strains every aspect of our lives including the very generous benefits we offer to non-citizens. This reduces the level of support we can provide to our own citizens, including veterans. We can see this threat playing out worldwide not just in the US.

the problem with illegal immigration is that it serves the masters. There have been many viable remedies over the last 40 years. But the Capitalist overlords knew that they could keep the country divided. And it work. Nothing but contempt, from both sides. Those of us in the space outside the noise hear a different drum beat. People caught up in the hype see only what they are taught to see. And they pretend that they are ok with "if you're not with us you are against us. You see it here in this small group. It's everywhere.

Show a single moment of criticism of your beliefs, see what happens. There are so many that are beyond help, don't be one of those.

I do criticize the current administration. For example, I believe the Epstein crimes have been brushed aside. Bondi, Patel, and Bongino have been very disappointing. Republicans are often suspect when it comes to spending and squandering big leads, this has been an ongoing issue dating back to the Tea Party days. However, when I contrast that with liberal nonsense, I still find myself leaning center-right.

My question to myself us why are we so preoccupied with things are not really in our wheelhouse?
 
As apposed to equating Trump to Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Beria, Kruschev?
That is the wheel house.

He is one of them. Worse even, he is willing to destroy our economy because people that are obsessed with hating libs will follow him. That is all he is, an instigator of contempt against Liberals, nothing more.
