Breaking: Trump Has Morning Meltdown Over Bad Numbers

Donald Trump’s reckless policies are sending inflation skyrocketing and he is lashing out as the world unites against him.

I’ve been following this disastrous morning for Donald Trump, and let me tell you—he’s unraveling. Inflation numbers are surging, and instead of taking responsibility, Trump is frantically blaming former President Biden. He’s screaming “Biden Inflation!” on social media, but let’s set the record straight: this is Trump inflation, and it’s happening because of him. Under Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, inflation was on the decline. But Trump’s tariff threats, erratic economic policies, and reckless decisions have driven prices up, up, up.

And it’s not just the economy—Trump’s favorability is tanking. He was clinging to that absurd CBS poll, pretending he had decent numbers, but the Morning Consult poll paints a different picture: a majority of Americans already view him as unfavorable. That’s disastrous for a newly elected president. Historically, approval ratings at the start of a presidency are in the high 60s or even 70s. Biden, Obama, Clinton, even Bush had numbers in that range despite immediate opposition. Trump? He’s starting out in the basement.

Meanwhile, Trump’s unhinged morning tantrum included interfering with the Federal Reserve—something no sane leader would do. He wants interest rates to be lower while pushing inflationary tariffs, which economists are warning will cripple the U.S. economy. His economic chaos is already triggering boycotts of American products and tourism, particularly in Canada, where it’s practically a scarlet letter to be seen supporting anything American under Trump’s leadership.

And let’s not ignore Trump’s never-ending fraud. This morning, he was raging about some made-up injustice over payments he doesn’t want to make, claiming there’s “massive fraud” against him. But here’s the truth: every single judge—Trump-appointed, Bush-appointed, Reagan-appointed, Obama-appointed, Biden-appointed—has ruled against him. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s accountability.

Oh, and guess what’s still being advertised on Trump’s social media platform? Ivermectin. Yep, they’re still pushing that nonsense while the U.S. faces a massive flu outbreak, rising COVID deaths, and the spread of H5N1 avian flu. Instead of real leadership, Trump’s platform is profiting off quack medicine.

To top it off, his foreign policy is already an embarrassment. The Egyptian President just canceled a White House visit because he refuses to sit in the same room while Trump pushes his plan to forcibly displace Palestinians. The U.S. Defense Secretary, Trump’s hand-picked Fox News lackey Pete Hegseth, just announced that returning Ukraine to its rightful borders is “unrealistic.” Translation? Trump is ready to sell out Ukraine to Putin.

This is what we’re dealing with. A fraud, a convicted criminal, a man who lies as easily as he breathes, and an economic and foreign policy disaster waiting to happen. But here’s the thing—we are not powerless. We’ve fought back before, and we will fight back again.

If you’re angry, channel it into action. Make your voice heard, stay engaged, and do not let this man drag our country down again. Consider joining us as a paid subscriber now to help us fight back.

It is unrealistic to think Republicans who voted for our moron president are or will convert to being Democrats.

Actually, Skip, I was a Republican for 45 years until trump rode down that escalator. I didn’t know anything about him, so I read up on him. He was not someone I could stomach to vote for, so I voted for Hillary and Democrats straight down ballot. I became a registered Democrat and have been one ever since. The Republican Party that I grew up with is long gone, replaced by this MAGA ideology, if you can call it that.

If you have evidence of the election being "rigged" that will stand up in court, get in touch with one of the Meidas attorneys and ask them to file suit. Otherwise, it's a conspiracy theory.

I hope you are aware that President Macron of France has accused Musk of election interference in various places internationally, and specifically in Germany. Though I do not make claims of election interference here in the USA, it would be consistent (and it would certainly make sense) that Musk interfered with election(s) here. However, given President Musk's stranglehold on the US government and his personal SS force of techies, I believe it would surprise no one that the possibility of uncovering such behavior would be very difficult.

You seem to understand cults and how they work. If you like to read try "The cult of Trump" by Steve Hassan. He was a moonie and he describes the inner workings of that cult and applies the principles of that to trumps cult. I listened to the audiobook. The book really goes behind the scenes of trumps first administration and his early life with Norman Vincent Peale where he learned how to brain wash and create alternate reality. Also Mary Trumps first book gives the background of the Trump family and how screwed up it was.

I talk with a person from a spiritual sect, their leader speaks exactly like Trump: voice warm and the sentences total mess and chaos. Repeating some words very often, making half sentences, jumping in the subject.

She told me that once they wanted to make a transkript of "his holy words", and they wonder what a completly mess it was. I asked why in the lecture she was so fasczinated. Her response "someone need to be able to understand the holy energy of this giant teacher to understand the signifcance of his holy words."

No, there were several things going on, like promised he would lower prices on day one👎🏼Only 31% of all American citizens voted for him so no it’s wasn’t a landslide and ejecting Biden the way dour Democratic Party did made it worst.

Landslide or not, doesn't matter. Trump and his thugs control the Presidency, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court. And we can agree to disagree on Biden: he should have been "ejected" -- your word, not mine -- no later than 2023 so there could have been an elected nominee rather than an appointed one. That would also have given the Blues a chance to weigh in on a VP. I think Walz being chosen is another reason Harris lost. Then there's that Biden disaster at the first debate. There were many other missteps made by the Dems, too many to go into here, but the main thing is the Dems ignored what many Americans thought was the most important issue -- the economy -- and tried to make it another Dem vs. Trump contest.

'How can one who is said to have been ordained from above,

be and do all the bad things people say about him?'...

The hypnotized minds who blindly follow and obey have opted out of

thinking other than repetitive and rudimentary thoughts, or

hearing other than the same ideas they've been hearing.

When a person listens to people, to ideas, to suggestions that are different from those they are used to hearing, their brain takes notice: 'Hmm, that's different.'

How it responds depends on their willingness to hear what is being said, before they do anything else. That takes time.

Trump's disapproval rating is only going to get higher and higher, as inflation continues to rise, along with grocery items and other products needed for basic living. The day will probably come when the MAGA maggots will have nothing to feed on except themselves and Trump. Fascism will not prevail.

What an arrogant, uneducated, childish and venal twit in your cherished White House now. Turning fellow Americans against each other and destroying whatever long-held friendships the U.S. has developed over many decades with other democracies. Normalizing hatred and chaos, giving powerful positions to sycophantic, unqualified, conscienceless people. Cozying up to blatant dictators. Makes me so very sad. Americans have to act *now* before it's too late, and the coup is fully completed.

Also I believe in the 80’s when the prices of Coffee, Sugar and Gasoline went up drastically because of import taxes the American people stop purchasing them and the prices went back down!

Perhaps the Drumpf is swinging for Cuba and just wants Putin's blessing to take it over!?

I recently sent the following to the Canadian Embassy.

"To Whom It May Concern:

I was talking to a Canadian citizen a day to two ago and a thought occurred to me during our conversation.

It would be wonderful if the Canadian government, if it desired to send a pointed message to Trump, that your nation was now accepting applications for dual citizenship from Americans. Assuming that the cost was reasonable, I would venture to say that millions of Americans would apply for the same reason - to send that dullard a message that would both enrage and embarrass. There is both moral value and humor in turning his orange to purple. I'd sign up in a heartbeat and the line at the Canadian embassy and consulates would be out the door. Just keep the fee low as this is not intended as a revenue maker, but a shot across his bow.

You likely have concluded that he will continue to haunt Canada like a drunken dinner guest who will not leave. It is hard to assume what the pretext will be for threatening Canada again, and whatever the reason it will certainly be specious. So, send him a powerful message that will resonate both here and in your country. And speaking for my wife and myself, we would be very pleased to have dual citizenship."

Buildings on land come and go. The Land is what’s valuable as it is permanent. The people living and fighting for it know that. So does Trump. And BTW, if Trump wants to develop Gaza and make it ‘better’, why doesn’t he extend generosity toward the people and help them rebuild? That is a tongue-in-cheek comment because we know why-he wants it for himself. AND, earlier, Trump wanted Spain. Well, the Strait of Gilbraltor is sort-of a Panama Canal of the Mediterranean Sea. If Trump controlled The S of G, he’d control sea traffic to many countries that line the M S, and of course, access to the Gaza Strip.

The State Department is set to buy millions worth of Tesla Cybertrucks, and with all the potential conflicts of interest, investors might wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze.

The department’s 2025 procurement forecast includes $500 million for “Armored Electric Vehicles.” According to earlier reports, prior versions were called armored Cybertrucks.

The State Department and Tesla didn’t respond to a request for comment about the purchase.

Among the potential conflicts, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is running President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, and Musk backed Trump’s presidential campaign.

When people feel they have been wrong they get upset. We need to spread that word to the Trump voters that can be reached..

How many people have already died because of their despicable war on USAID?

CBS reports that $500 million in food aid is at risk of spoilage as it sits in ports, ships and warehouses after funding for the USAID was paused by Musk’s DOGE. This was food bought directly from U.S. farmers, who provide about 40% of international food assistance. An additional 500,000 metric tons of food is currently on ships or ready to be shipped abroad.

… Politico reports that China is already looking to take advantage of the US’s withdrawal from the world after USAID is shut down by Musk. Former USAID China Policy director Francisco Benscosme: “China is already reaching out to partners. They will fill in the void in places like Cambodia and Nepal - those are just the places we know about.”

… “China is quickly making moves to fill in gaps left behind by the Trump administration’s abrupt moves to almost entirely halt and wind down USAID operations worldwide, from the Indo-Pacific to South America. As USAID retreats, China pounces - In Nepal, Beijing is signaling it's willing to step in to replace the void. In the Cook Islands, warnings that the vacuum will give an opening for China. In Colombia, China is already interested in filling the NGO gap.”
