Love to say it, even hard core republicans I know are regretting voting for the orange clown. Just yesterday one of them told me that. Trump’s reality distortion field is starting to fail.
Usually I dismiss thilese anecdotes but I am experiencing it too. Our company had a meeting with all of the field techs/machinists to explain how the “no tax on overtime” really works and I’ll tell you what, it’s not exactly “no tax on overtime”. Considering we basically run on overtime that rug pull may have been the last straw for a few of the red hats I know.
Hitting them in the selfishness is the only thing they understand.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

It definitely shattered my expectations, and they were low to begin with
Yeah this isn’t his best boast. After we saw the stock market tanking insanely I was shocked to see it resemble normal growth for a time. Wrecking the economy with moronic tariffs and then restoring it briefly by backing off isn’t something you can brag about
Yeah but if you can time the dips and rises, you can make shitton of money, which is exactly what his cronies are doing. Everytime fatass announces a tariff, the market reacts, and then soars when he backs off. It’s pure market manipulation.
Exactly
He hasnt even gotten to the truly moronic part of instituting actual tariffs yet. All the tanking that occurred previously was due to the threat of tariffs. Imagine how fucked the market and economy would be if every tariff he threatened actually came to fruition
Well, if he expected a total Crash and instead got only mild recession, it still “shatters expectations”
I mean, I’m surprised our economy hasn’t crumbled, so it’s not technically untrue
Enough of us still have morals. Dwindling, but enough.
It’s being stretched like a rubber band. When it snaps, it will be spectacular.
Fake it til you make it, amiright?
We need a new term for this level of willful ignorance.

You can negatively “shatter expectations”
We usually use the word “disappointing” but a competent writer can put a positive spin on anything.
Trump fell into his current position of power simply because of his ability to effortlessly frame the fall of the US Empire as putting America first. While in reality, it’s all just a distraction to cover for billionaires hoarding more and more wealth while the rest of us continue to struggle more and more.
We need a new term for this level of willful ignorance.
Here are a few: “Unfitness for office.” “Criminal incompetence.” “Deliberate economic sabotage.” “Dictatorship of the scum of the earth.” “Kakistocracy.”
It did shatter expectations. It’s supposed to be good, but it’s crap.
Trump says […] Data says otherwise.
Sums up his whole life, no?
I’ve never seen someone fail so successfully.
I expect all his policy to be shit. So when it’s always shit I’m never surprised. Because he is a grifting carpetbagging sack of flaming shit. A tragic waste of functioning organs. The world’s most notorious oxygen thief. Also he is a fucking moron. If there was a photo negative of Mensa where stupid motherfuckers competed to see who the dumbest motherfucker of all the dumb motherfuckers was, he’d be it’s lifetime appointed leader.
Funny you should bring up Mensa… Not the brightest people, more like a bizarre cult. He would fit right in.
He’d love it. A bunch of dorks circlejerking about IQ numbers?!
Hog Heaven for a narcissist.
Trump is a lying sack of shit.
Well, yeah. Anyone who had expectations is now feeling shattered.
Well, data is fired.
Clearly, he’s talking about the expectations he had for himself vs going to jail. I’m just as surprised.
I mean, who do you believe the most, Trump or data? Don’t let me know.
Data shows that the Epstein list still hasn’t been released.
