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.

    We should be recalling the broken Congress critters at this point. It’s fucking absurd.

      There’s no mechanism to do that.

      And the in replacing them is, even without the gerrymandering, people tend to think it’s everyone else’s congressmember not doing their job, except their own. Because they couldn’t possibly have voted wrong.

      So most didn’t ever change.
