One of the most jarring things about adulthood is the realization of how many truly incompetent people are in the most important jobs. When I was a kid, I just assumed everyone “important” was smart or they wouldn’t be important. Boy, was that fucking wrong.
Trump imposed tariffs…
So businesses raised prices and passed on the extra costs to consumers…
Then consumers paid more for everything…
And now Trump gave $49.1B in refunds to businesses, many of which donated to his campaigns.
This is what a rigged system looks like.
🇺🇸Trump has stated 106 times that he defeated Iran.
🇺🇸Trump has stated 95 times that Iran is destroyed.
🇺🇸Trump has stated 88 times that a deal is imminent.
🇺🇸Trump has stated 75 times that the Strait of Hormuz is open.
Fact: This serial liar has achieved nothing yet. He is just playing with the stock market.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
THE LABOR DEPARTMENT JUST DROPPED NEW WAGE DATA AND IT'S BRUTAL.
Corporate profits up 47% since 2020.
Worker wages up 12% in the same period.
Meanwhile groceries up 35%, rent up 40%, utilities up 28%.
Your paycheck grew 12%. Your bills grew 35%.
The math is simple: you're getting poorer every year even when you get a raise.
You can't budget your way out of this. The system is designed so your income can never catch up to your expenses.
That's not an accident. That's policy.
The same Georgia election where Donald Trump was indicted by a jury of his peers for trying to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes," to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election results?
That election?
Trump ordered the FBI to find out who leaked the truth about his Qatari jet.
Within 24 hours, his own leak investigation leaked.
You can’t write a better metaphor for this administration. Too corrupt to hide it & too incompetent to cover it up.

RECORD PROFITS. MASS LAYOFFS.
GOOGLE : $307 billion revenue. Laid off 12,000 workers.
AMAZON : $575 billion revenue. Laid off 18,000 workers.
MICROSOFT : $245 billion revenue. Laid off 10,000 workers.
TESLA : $85 billion revenue. Laid off 10,000 workers.
META : $134 billion revenue. Laid off 8,000 workers.
TOTAL: 58,000 JOBS ELIMINATED
These companies didn't fail. They succeeded.
They just decided their workers weren't worth paying.
Record profits + mass layoffs = the system working exactly as designed.
Workers lose. Executives win. That's capitalism.
Cool.
The American auto industry has lost more than 25,900 jobs since Trump took office again, caused by inflation and supply chain disruptions driven by Trump's tariffs.
Trump just declared a 20% toll on Hormuz cargo and a US “blockade” on Iran — a move that risks squeezing oil supply and spiking crude prices.
He holds between $500,000 and $1 million in Exxon Mobil.
The man declaring the blockade owns the oil company that profits when it tightens the market.
Volkswagen is one of the largest employers in Chattanooga, Tennessee’s fourth most populous city. There have been rumors of a plant shutdown for a while. Trump destroying our economy & plunging us into a zombie recession is likely the final nail in the coffin.
THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.
What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."
BREAKING: Stunning new reporting just revealed that defense contracting firms connected to Donald Trump's sons, Eric and Don Jr., have netted $3.2 billion in Pentagon contracts. This is brazen corruption. The American people deserve answers.
