“He doesn’t give a crap about you.”

I don’t care if he gives, or doesn’t give, a crap about me personally. I care 100% if he gives a crap about America and Americans.

I worry that he’s so focused on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (which, BTW, never will happen) that the America First agenda has got short shrift. He needs to tend to his knittin’ and refocus on his job here.

Screw conflicts in Ukraine, Russia, Israel, etc.

And what do the two of you want Trump to do that he isn’t already doing? Inflation is currently at 2.7%. GDP growth last quarter was 4.3%. Jerome Powell will be out of office soon, which will be a good thing for interest rates and housing affordability, but in the mean time rates are still inching downwards. Gas prices are down considerably.

Take home pay is up simply by virtue of the Trump tax cuts, which most will be experiencing for the first time this year as withholding amounts are lowered and tax refunds start getting sent out. Beyond that, wage growth is outpacing inflation, which addresses the affordability issue from the other direction. Job growth, so far, has been modest for a variety of reasons. But the beneficiaries, for a change, have been American workers instead of illegals.

Public safety is up, crime is down, the border is closed and illegals are being removed and are self deporting. Drug prices are down. And thank God Trump can walk and chew gum at the same time because as a result, his efforts on the international front have saved lives by drastically reducing the supply of illicit drugs on our streets. This idea that “Trump’s focus on the rest of the world” has prevented him from addressing domestic issues is absurd. Trump is relentless and more than capable of addressing multiple issues at the same time.
