Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.

Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.

But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.

    Bernie is just too old. I’m tired of geriatric people being in charge, to be honest.

    He believes all the right things, but the issue is he has never, in his time in the senate, ever gotten anything major passed.

    That is a huge part of leadership. You can’t just ‘be right’ you have to also get things done. I love love love Bernie’s ideas, but he has never been a good leader in that dept.
