The economy is shrinking. Consumer confidence is plunging. Tariffs are unleashing chaos. A majority of Americans say their financial situation is getting worse. Odds of a recession are increasing, which would hurt working people the most. All because of Donald Trump.
🤬
General Strike 5/1/25: Unions, wobble. Take a staycation. Share the strike with your local news & national social media platforms, companies and family members. Support the strikers by working together, introduce a barter system, provide bail, food & sanitation. maydaystrong.org Fiftyfifty.one
Because capitalism systemically incentivises and greatly rewards obscene greed and disregard for life Trump is a symptom not the problem treating the symptoms doesn't fix the problem
But he said he's doing a great job..historic...🤪
So why did so many foolish Americans vote for such a loser
He still claims it’s Biden’s economy. He’s delusional. And a f*cking liar!!!
I heard directly from DJT tweet that it is Biden's fault, and he NEVER lies.
Never...
Sucking the life out of the world. Poison environment.
And every single one of his cabinet members, the Republicans who enable him, FOX who lied 24/7 for him and the sheeple that voted for him.
Exactly because of dumb old Donny!
This is such a nightmare. It’s “Dunning-Kruger Effect” – it’s when cognitive bias people with low ability or knowledge overestimate their competence. They think they sound smart, but they don’t realize how limited their understanding actually is
What about the deportations? They have a very significant drag on the economy. $3.9 - 4.1 trillion in the next 10 years is what I came up with knowing I hadn't fully captured the impact
No mention of McCarthyism & the daily theft of rights, freedoms & power of American people?
His cult is a well oiled machine.
I wonder when trump will realise that the chaos he makes will hit him hard in return sooner or later.
The worst part is he still wants to go on stage and present the economy as doing wonderful I take that back the worst part is Republicans pretending this is all perfectly fine As complicit in the criminality of 5 decades of Trump
You just can't appreciate his economic genius that's all
he has a lot of help

No, it's because of the people that voted for him and those that didn't vote at all. Let's put the blame where it belongs.
Sounds like things are going as planned! Meanwhile congressional Republicans are fulfilling their treasonous role to feed their addiction to money and power.
Just wait until mid-May or so. It gets even dipshittier when foreign shipments stop coming in.
Yeah that's true, and half of the people it affects will scape goat anything else
And Trump says everything is going to plan and will only get better.
And he is such a weak person, he is still trying to blame Biden. So sick of his act.
We need to stop this fascist madness before people start dying in droves. This is beyond politics now. This administration is posing a threat to our very lives due to their deadly policies. Our foreign adversaries are probably cheering right because we are being destroyed from within.
The GOP party doesn't stand for SHIT anymore. *They certainly not fiscal conservatives becuz they're passing laws to increase the deficit & debt by trillions of dollars. *Give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. *They sure are national security hawks becuz they isolated us from the 🌎. Vote🔵
Nope. All because of the Republican Party and the Democrats so addicted to incumbency addled deal making they squashed any internal attempts to go after their crooked colleagues.
Worker protections will be decimated if we lose the NLRB. This #MayDay show you support American Workers and #BOYCOTTTRADERJOES.
Certitude kills.
It is his fault but the GOP are complicit. They need pressure campaign. Write postcards to their constituents! www.activateamerica.vote/postcards
And his followers will only get more unhinged and devoted
Didn't you hear Mr. Reich? It's all because of Biden, not Trump.
Trump will always blame everybody else but himself when things go wrong. It’s what is called a narcissist.
He did say he was gonna do this… Be informed. Vote.

Billionaires don’t want to lose their wealth due to trump’s tariffs
All because of DT with a massive assist from his GOP concubines in Congress
And, of course, tRump won't suffer, he's rich enough it won't get to him, and his crypto alone, will ensure the grift continues, and he never has to cope. You REALLY need to write some new laws saying what those in power cannot do 🤬
And those in Congress who have ceded their role as keeper of the purse. Their refusal to represent their constituents - all 340 million of us - is a crime and a moral failing.
AND the GOP
You would not know it watching the mainstream liberal media. They allow Trump to lie without question, the American People voted for this according to Trump. He told everyone he would wreck the economy, destroy safety nets, and arrest and deport US citizens, that's what they voted for per Trump.
Didn't you hear, it's Biden's fault! 🤦🏼♀️
I fear he will ~ one way or another ~ start a war, dragging us into it, for the sole purpose of deviating our eyes and ears from what is really & truly taking place, magically making us think we need him to survive. It is Project2025, with some steroids. He is one POS, demented president.
WINNING!
~~~ One Hundred Days of Excretude ~~~
Not to be the purveyor of doom and gloom but if something isn't done soon it will be years of hardship. This administration has no idea what they are doing. Those republicans from his last administration learned nothing. It is blatantly obvious. No one will deal with a loser.
We need the Tariff Tax itemized on all good and services! It's the only way consumers will know if businesses keep the prices jacked up after the Panican in Chief folds. We all know that once the price goes up, it rarely comes down
It’s like Trump read (or more likely was told) most authoritarians arose during economic hard times. Hitler = German Depression after WWI. Mussolini = same for Italy. But he has zero analytic skills. He doesn’t understand those dictators came into their shit shows promising a fix. Not making one. 🤦♂️
Donald Trump, yes. But not one bit of the Trump destruction of our economy would happen without the complete agreement and support the Republican Party. Never forget!!
And those enabling/supporting him.
The economy is a dumpster fire. Tariffs are setting grocery and housing prices ablaze.
just heard the Pres of Heritage Foundation on NPR. He thinks everything is going super dooper good including DOGE, El Salvador and tariffs. Giant MFR!
He sounded giddy. Frightening.
Totally creeped me out.
And incredible in some ways that one person can cause all this damage. Well, the GOP is letting him I blame them as well.
I feel for you Robert and all other US citizens but the rest of the world are going to treat you like a care assistant holding a big nappy (Diaper) full of a smack heads (heroin addict) night soil until you get rid of the lot of them.
Fewer shipping containers arriving, fewer trucks delivering, less products to sell, falling sales, fewer jobs, stores & restaurants close. Trump is at the top of this plan and the one to blame for all the coming disasters.
Also all because of a vast minority of Americans who lack positive critical thinking and are instead devoted to the truth and kindness and not hate , unnecessary drama and delusion.
"When you break off trade relationships with your major trading partners You end up with slower growth, higher inflation, volatility, weaker currency, a weaker economy" - Former Governor of the Bank of England
Don't forget the GOP Congress enabling his bad behavior. Impeach, convict, remove, jail this wannabe tyrant. Keep fighting together and we can win our democracy back!
He’s trying to create an apocalypse and then swoop in to be the hero. He thinks people will then demand he get a third term.
Uh uh! BIDEN! BIDEN! BIDEN! Oh yea, Obama too.
But they are not in power, Trump is!
100 Days 100 Corrupt Acts How does he do it, you ask? In a word, volume! www.youtube.com/watch?si=TxN...
He is making me so sick
And jobs are being cut. UPS is cutting 20,000 jobs b/c of tariffs.
So Robert. Stating simple facts. But what are your solutions? Any? Come on. You’re a renowned professional. Do better.
Well, let's not forget AMERICAN VOTERS (ahem, perhaps also NON voters) had something to do with all of this.
Don’t forget an unprecedented media snowjob
Of course, but my point is: The ultimate responsibility lies with the *people* of the country. Not the President. Not the media. Not the Congress. Not the Judiciary. What the PEOPLE stand for (or don't) is THE thing that will determine the fate of a country. Any country. I speak from experience.
I don’t like our odds of survival because I feel that by the time people start looking for the lifeboats off this sinking ship they’ll discover the rich already took them all. Hopefully I’m wrong though.
America is a HUGE country. I believe the majority of Americans are good people. They just need to understand what is happening, very quickly. If Ukrainians were able to kick Putin's puppet out of *their* country, Americans can destroy Trump and his regime. But we must keep waking people up.
Give it a few months before Maga is in the streets..with guns.
Putin is pleased.
The Collapse of the Soviet Economy Between 1989 and 1991, the gross national product in Soviet countries fell by 20%, ushering in a period of complete economic collapse. The gross national product went from 5.8% in 1940 to 2.6% in 1970. 1/🧵
The Collapse of the Soviet Economy "A nation that was a military superpower & could mount a space program couldn’t provide adequate housing, nor could it feed the people. The transportation system in many parts was primitive, and air/land/water pollution was rampant.” Will Moskoff, economist 2/
The Collapse of the Soviet Economy “Growth decline became stagnation. Resources were depleted at frightening rates. There was a drawn-out, deepening, and almost insurmountable crisis in agriculture. The people's health deteriorated, and quality medical care was rare.” William Moskoff, economist 3/
The Collapse of the Soviet Economy Store shelves were empty, lines were long & the social safety net collapsed. Govt infrastructure utilities & police services evaporated. The Russian Mafia stepped in to fill the void as crime & corruption were rampant throughout the country and in the govt 4/end
No Robert, not because of Donald Trump. Because his sycophant followers and enablers voted him into office. That's why. Self-inflicted by maga morons. Do you think the effects of this Regime is only affecting Americans? Think again.
All because the Republican Congress has been supine in its submission to F47, failing to fulfill their Constitutionally mandated role to legislate for the good of the nation.
The recession has been here since 2017. Really since 1981. It’s just deepened so gradually (apart from 2008) that nobody (not enough people) noticed. It’s just a byproduct of Inequality, but you know all this already.
But the MAGAs got their extra-strong fix of white male supremacy, so it’s all worth it, right? 😢
Felon will eat his own words soon. His ego comes in a way.
Actually, he's a puppet of The Heritage Foundation so let's put the blame at THEIR DOOR ‼️🔥
you already have recession , maybe not by the technical criteria , but it will deepen, rapidly.
But... but... PRONOUNS!
No, all because of Biden refusal to step down and have a proper democratic primaries. Trump is a symptom not a disease.
Primary maybe but... Turnout in the 1995 Quebec Referendum was 93.52%. The margin voting NOT to start down the path to secession was 1.16%, lower that the 1.82% of "invalid" ballots mostly "found" in the predominately "NO" ridings. Had 1 person in 50 not voted, then Canada might not exist today.
We’ll… yes. But please remember all of the working class white voters that have and continue to enable Trump. It’s the source of all of his political power.
yes, all because of Donald Trump and the GOP!!!
Sustained general strikes? Not even the suggestion of general strikes is being sustained.
"THE worst IS YET TO COME!!!" SC(R)OTUS won't rock DJT's boat this term. August recess then budget then 6-3 or worse SC(R)OTUS through 2052. All Hail The Perpetual Unitary Executive.
Don't forget ports sitting empty.
Where is wonder woman? Probably balancing log trucks moving wayyy too fast in the lane next door
Funny how I always thought Republicans were pro-business. When a family can only buy 2 dolls for their kid instead of 30, that's a 93% decrease in consumer spending. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...
We should of made a website we can all be on the same page and sign or something to get MASS organization, stock up on essentials, don't go to work, don't buy anything, protesting, boycotting and fight! This country would buckle and no one to buy their garbage anymore 😁 We have the power
Trump AND the Republicans.
Just wait for the empty shelves.
To simply blame Trump alone is to transfer the blame away from everyone who has supported him, and funded him. He is just a symptom of the disease, not the disease itself.
To give to the wealthy 🤷🏻♀️
I think the scarier part is, WHY is he willing and purposefully crashing the economy? I think there is a more sinister explanation
Don't forget the protest (non) voters! Plenty of scorn for them too.
Wrong. All because of a system and media that could be manipulated with money to elect him.
If you have a 401K & are retired…you’re screwed
But billionaires are CLEANING UP
He's the worst thing since Yugos.
We learned. Will you? Turnout in the 1995 Quebec Referendum was 93.52%. The margin voting NOT to start down the path to secession was 1.16%, lower that the 1.82% of "invalid" ballots mostly "found" in the predominately "NO" ridings. Had 1 person in 50 not voted, then Canada might not exist today.
Oh, and 0% chance of a Impeachment Conviction after the mid-terms even if the GOP gets crushed in Congress. The math just isn't there.
"THE worst IS YET TO COME!!!" SC(R)OTUS won't rock DJT's boat this term. August recess then budget then 6-3 or worse SC(R)OTUS through 2052 All Hail The Perpetual Unitary Executive.
Thanks Biden! Obama’s tan suit. And Hillary’s emails!
Russell Vought and the Federalist/Heritage cabal. The felon doesn't have the mental bandwidth for everything that is crashing around us. (Not that he is blameless in this perfect storm of destruction and desecration.)
And those who voted for him.
One thing people are not talking about, Trumps base is rock solid, they will stand in soup lines if they need too.
It's just another day in Trump's America, according to him the numbers are bad because of Biden, he's working hard to fix everything....but last year when the stock market was way up, it was because the market expected Trump to be elected. All praise no responsibility....
...and the stupid media that support him.
And ever republican in political office.
And he got on truth social and had the audacity to blame Biden
Narcissists always blame everybody else but themselves when things go wrong
I Lost My JOB...... Because of HIM!!
MAGAts: NO! It’s all because of Biden & DEI! Dems need to set strategic goals; among those is a full court press against M$M. How many Americans really understand the damage done to the economy, the eventual impact of his anti healthcare & science policies; the assault on the Constitution?
Republican Congress: Your calculus is now this; it's very simple Move against the administration The first ones to do so will be labeled 'courageous' and 'patriotic', while the last ones to do so will be primaried You are in power, now That U.S. Congressional switchboard number is 202-224-3121
All because of Donald Trump's weapons grade ignorance. The whole reason for this tariff debacle is because he seriously thought - for real - that the exporting country paid the tariff. That's how fucked the brain of the current US president is.
And the GOP
Is America great yet?
Greatness is at the door!
Partnering with a camera store I’m seeing in real time the reality of what the tariffs will and are already doing. I had a photo student today pay $1700 for a camera a couple of months ago. It’s now double the cost
Please add in Republicans, judges in the Supreme Court, Heritage Foundation, Rich guys like Murdock, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg and 40 more. These people are supporting Trump and his actions.
IT IS TERRIFYING!
We haven't even gotten to his next horribly mishandled pandemic yet
TRUMPCESSION
Trump is in denial if he thinks America is doing so fantastic, when in reality America is heading into recession. He just cannot get it into his thick head that his plans are failing, and America will crash and bone because he thinks he knows better than anyone else. He’s a liar.
Gas prices are UP. $4.69 for regular at a local Shell station near me in WA.
he doesn't care if the USA is in recession or not , he just wants to play his power game and will never admit he is not winning it.
If only chaos was good for business.
Sure, the Democrats that allowed Trump to exist bear no responsibility for this. Come on Robert, you can do better for fucks sake. What we get rid of Trump and the Democrats go back to the same crap and create him again?
