Trumpism Isn’t Working – As a checked-out president sits back and lets Elon Musk shred the civil service, the signs of economic calamity are growing—and Americans of all stripes are getting pissed off.

Just as Putin ordered him to do
Nah. His supporters like this as long as it’s owning the libs as well.
Everyone delete your x-account as this became a propaghanda machine for Musk and Trump.
Too bad the nearest election isn’t for almost 2 years & Republicans won’t do shit about it..
Not pissed enough to be doing anything. But give it time till it gets personal
Wow, if only there were signs that he was a terrible president before this election… oh wait
Becoming a broken record, but, the only people who will be pissed off are those who are directly effected, even of those people the stubborn will blame the opposition. The people who suffer will be silenced by those who pretend they live in prosperity. The captain only goes down with the ship if the ship doesn’t have a spare lifeboat.
They have a strategy it’s the same one they used during covid, no matter how obvious their bungling of the economy is, just steadfastly insist everything is great and offer absurd solutions in the short term that promise anything perceived as bad will disappear if (insert economic equalivent to hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin here).
At this point, he or someone from his cohort probably should get the next presidency. Otherwise, the next dem or whoever in the oval office will inherit the mother of all geopolitical and economical crises, republicans will go “see!?” and we’ll be back to square one in eight years.
More so pissed on. Not sure what it’ll look like when pissed off happens, but it won’t look like this.
It’s almost like none of them took basic macro economics. Cut taxes, cut spending, cut jobs, increase unemployment. There is only one direction for the economy to go now.
Trumps is terrible especially if you don’t hate women, children, elderly, disabled, low wage workers, climate science, National Forests, Public education, the post office, weather service, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine. But hey, the 1% are getting massive tax breaks…yeah, go Republicans. For the last 3 words /s, just in case it wasn’t obvious.
Why is there so much propaganda about America being united against Trump, Republicans regretting their vote?? etc. No Republicans I know regret their vote, Americans are more divided than ever.
It will take MAGA Republicans being directly affected to even contemplate being regretful.
I am anti Trump, but stop conflating things to make it seem like Americans are united.
They are not pissed. They are happy and gleefully enjoying “owning the libs” and watching them “meltdown.”
He ran to stay out of prison. Now he’s going let the project 2025 team burn it all down while he golfs.
Well it’s way too late for “Americans are getting pissed off” to matter. You know what happens if Trump’s approval rating drops to 3%? Jack and shit and Jack left town. Only votes matter and you idiots voted for Trump. FAFO.
It’s working perfectly. He’s creating another “great depression” financial crash so that all the small businesses go bankrupt and tons of people lose their homes, so that they can all be bought up by the banks and his billionaire ceo donors in a mass transfer of wealth from the 99% to the 1%
Same as the last time conservatives took majority of control of every level of government and orchestrated the great depression of the 30’s
I did not vote for President Musk.
Hard-core MAGA still doesn’t see a problem and probably never will
The economy has shrunk 1.3 % it’s going into recession
Dude’s too busy giving out all our classified documents to Russia to work.
Americans don’t seem to be doing much at all, I am thinking they are okay with it.
That’s the plan stan. It IS working, according to the plan. Ruin it, buy cheap, re-establish privatized economy owned by oligarchy.
Its first grade, SpongeBob.

And I bet you my SS Check that I’m not entitled to yet, those same 77million will still vote against their own interests in 2026/2028.
The headline doesn’t grasp the true aims of Trumpism.
They want you to default on your mortgage so they can snap up your home for cheap.
There. Said it for ya. Just in case the guys in the back didn’t get it.
We warned them.
This country got the administration it deserves.
Enjoy your $10 eggs, $5 gas, and lack of social security motherfuckers.
The goal was always to destroy us
I’ve moved all my investments into cash. Tempted to move them out of USD too. This is going to hit hard.
No, they are not. They are still supporting their corrupt cult leader.
That last phrase just is not true at all. I live in MAGA land and no Trump supporters that I know are pissed off. They are excited. Two new Trump flags and three new signs were put in place in the last three days on my road alone. Trump supporters love what he is doing because none of it has hurt them personally yet and they are too stupid to see that it will.
Trumpism IS working. The goals are just not what some of the idiot MAGAs thought.
Nobody needs to be on X or Facebook any longer. Tank his stock.
Don’t buy from Amazon.
A small change that will make a big difference.
What do you mean? Trumpism is working exactly as intended.
Everyone who voted for trump is the enemy. Burn this mother to the ground.
I’m sorry, I don’t see it.
I know actual Trump supporters IRL and they are just digging in their heels and are just gloating at all the pain that’s being caused.
This seems to me to be now wishful thinking by people who still somehow believe “everybody is good at heart and they are just brainwashed or confused or ignorant”.
They aren’t. They are evil. Like 40-50% of the population is actually evil and are cheering for what’s going on.
What’d annoying is that the world will suffer because of these people, and none of us got a vote or a say.
You decided to give a felon rapist keys to the largest military in the world.
We are all going to suffer now. The world will turn away from the United states. We won’t allow ourselves to be put in this situation again..
This presidency marks a change in global politics. The world will never be the same because some red necks hate trans people. It’s brutal.
I will never forgive the people who had to find out for themselves what fucking around wrought.
Sure they got scammed and were lied to but when the world needed them to be a little smarter and dream a little bigger they said “but the economy!” having exactly zero understanding of what that meant,
I hope for once it gets worse for you if you voted Trump, so for once you feel consequence and not live on democrat work.
>Trumpism Isn’t Working
It’s working exactly as it is intended to work.
Of course that intention isn’t to the benefit of the average American citizen.
Boy, if people are pissed off now wait 6 months when all the federal workers pay stops going through rural economies, when the budget thats going to be passed in 2 weeks goes through, when the trade tarriffs start taking full effect, and when benefits are cutoff. It’s about to get real, btw it’s only been 4 weeks.
Trump doesn’t work, and never has. And he wasn’t expected to. Trump’s job is to destroy America from within on behalf of his master, Putin.
It’s working because the radical right wing goal for the last several decades was to dismantle the modern US nation-state and reduce it to the weak, corrupt state it was in the late 19th and early 20th century.
That’s why they *literally* said they aimed to “repeal the 20th century”.
If your ideal country is a nationwide version of a crappy, mud road, 1904 racist Southern mill town where the sheriff’s thugs are goons for both the mill owners and the local Klan, there are no unions, no social programs, no regulations (especially not on medicines, medical practice, or food safety), then here we go.
