Top Tweets for #SLOWEST

I regret voting for Trump. I thought his second term would bring a more relaxed, confident, level-headed, business-minded version of him. He surrounded himself with a strong cabinet, had Elon Musk on his side, and it genuinely felt like we were going to get something different. Instead, we’ve gotten what feels like an erratic, aggressive, and unpredictable presidency. I’m not saying I would have voted for the Democrats. I just think we needed someone else. This has been one of the slowest summers I’ve seen for businesses. I’m still out here every day talking to restaurant owners, bar owners, salespeople, and other business owners. The same thing keeps coming up: sales are down. People aren’t eating out as much, drinking as much, or spending like they used to. Hours are getting cut, and prices are still too high. The stock market has been incredibly volatile, and the constant headlines and market swings don’t inspire confidence. Meanwhile, it feels like the people closest to him keep getting richer while everyone else is left dealing with the uncertainty. I honestly believed we were going to get something better. Instead, I feel like a lot of us were sold a version of Trump that never showed up.
