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.

    Is he that stupid that he really beleives his plan will work?

    Absolutely, have you seen any sign of high intelligence coming from tRump?

    Or is he so afraid of Putin’s kompromat that he’ll destroy his own country in order to keep it hidden?

    I am increasingly doubting this. Do you really think a tape of some prostitutes pissing on him would change anything at this stage?

    I also do not buy the notion tRump is a russian asset because he is just too stupid to be recruited… he is too stupid to be easily manipulated though.

    His stupidity, at full and constant display and perfectly complimentary of the USA’s population ignorance, is more than enough to explain where we are and far far more likely than any other theories…
