Obviously, he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Other than freeing another American hostage, mediating a cease fire between India and Pakistan, reaching a nuclear agreement with Iran, forwarding the Abraham Accords, grinding illegal immigration to a halt, getting Zelenskyy to meet with Putin, and nearly winning the papacy, not a very good weekend for the orange boi.  Lol

……..The market is off ~10% (4K points on the Dow) since he took office. By and large that dip was self inflicted.

Its far too early to measure whether the end justify the means, on a lot of fronts.

I've taught myself to always, always, always question govt decisions, pressure test them. NEVER fall in line as a good soldier with blind allegiance.

Thats dangerous territory - regardless of who's in the White House.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

As citizens with a (supposedly) representative government, that's actually our duty...which is one more reason I hate the duopoly: it basically guarantees "us vs them" mentalities in those wired to be "followers".

We have over 320 million people in this country, we need more parties and thus more viewpoints going into elections. We are NOT served by the junk we have now.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

The stock market is now up around 500 points since the day before the election.  The dip is hardly self-inflicted unless the world ends today.  When we have better trade agreements with virtually every country on the planet, then we'll see who was right, and once again, the TDS sufferers will somehow find a way to declare it's the end of times.   People that are complaining are people that want him to fail plain and simple.  And your fact are off even from inauguration day, we're off about 1,000 pts in the DJIA.  And THIS is the biggest criticism people have in an area where he's purposely making l-t deals at the expense of some s-t anxiety.  He truly is Hitler I guess.  lol
