1. federal agency dismantling or elimination - all in the name of DOGE and Musk. It will probably surpass a 1/4 of a million before it's all over thereby increasing the rate of unemployment overall with recession on the horizon.
2. I'm sure many of the federal workers fired who voted for D,T, now have second thoughts as well as those negatively affected by those cuts such as veterans, those on Soc.Sec. seeing their checks reduced, Medicare, those waiting for their IRS refunds, etc.
3. Tariffs lead to trade wars where inflation is a byproduct for American consumers. U.S. businesses that sell beyond the border will find less demand for their products due to reciprocal increases in prices.
4. Presidental flip/flopping on tariffs may seem like a genius-bluff to his supporters, but Wall Street is very anxious causing the stock market and investments to plummet this week.
5. Where will the GDP be going forward with less international and domestic demand of our goods? A rise in unemployment is inevitable as companies have to lay off workers.
6. “We will end inflation and make America affordable again.”
Will the price of eggs drop lower in the near term than the price of crack as promised? Biden didn't create the virus; Trump won't eliminate it. (...and NO, I don't do crack!)
7. Will a cut in taxes for the working-class amount to anything vs big cuts for the wealthy? The federal deficit will not be lowered much by a tariff/consumer tax the working class will have to pay along what he calls an “all tariff policy.”. Cars and trucks are expensive enough!
8. Lowering energy prices was one of his promises, but the large supply of petroleum that comes from Canada who will now impose their own 25% tariff, will raise the price, not lower it.
9. U.S. isolationism is dangerous in a modern world and something Putin prays for. According to D.T., NATO be damned! Who needs it? Granted, Europe is now fitting more of the bill for Ukraine's defense, but Trump's message is clear: might makes right. His promise was this, "shortly after regaining the Oval Office, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled … quickly.” That remains to be seen, mineral rights or not.
10. Trump’s primary approach as a politician is operating by instinct, but critical thinking matters - something he hasn't shown for over 8 years. Those who voted for him have forgotten that details matter whereas excuses and blaming others for failed policies gets old.
11. Mass deportation will backfire in many ways. Immigrants buy goods and services where they live and work doing jobs many Americans won't do in labor intensive areas like agriculture and construction. Trump doesn't bother to tell you that immigrants pay taxes. Local businesses will lose revenue from less immigrant consumerism and the prices of domestic produce will slowly rise along with the price of housing because of higher labor costs and shortages.
12. “We will drill, baby, drill.” and “I will terminate the Green New Scam and end the electric vehicle mandate." Electricity runs everything from lawn mowers to chain saws and cars that will no doubt double in the near future. Harming the environment and increasing global warming is not his concern seeing as he'll have passed on before the effects take place.
13. More than 6 million workers reported tips to the IRS in 2018. His idea of removing taxes on tips could cost some $150 to $250 billion in federal revenue over 10 years as per the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
14. Laughable promises: make Canada a 51st state and own Greenland for defense purposes as well as take over the Panama Canal. His "Iron Dome" idea is ridiculous seeing as how our allies and two oceans provide protection.
15. "“We have people at the top [of the military] that are woke, and they’re all gone. We are going to get rid of them so fast.” ...but replace them with who???
16. "I will sign an executive order that cuts federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the shoulders of our children.” Trump has largely not defined precisely which policies he would attempt to penalize much less those protected by law.
17. “I will fully uphold our Second Amendment.”
Context: Trump has indicated that he would oppose most, if not all, new restrictions on gun usage and ownership. So much for allowing guns into the hands of felons or make laws requiring responsible gun ownership.
18. Trump has been a major purveyor of “the Big Lie” — that the 2020 election was “stolen” and that he was the real winner. He wants the history books in public schools to include that fact even though Biden broke the record for the most total votes cast for a U.S. presidential candidate, a record previously set by Barack Obama in 2008.
19. Trump has falsely claimed that voting by mail or using drop boxes is less secure and, thus, more open to mass voter fraud. (It’s not.) He'll make the voting process more onerous and more open to fraud.
20. Elon Musk, a major campaign donor and surrogate, told thousands of Trump supporters he would cut $2 trillion in federal spending. So much for a non-federal worker calling the shots using a chain saw vs a scalpel.
There are many, many more, but whether you agree with any of the above, what is unimportant is that you acknowledge, ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES! Do not immerse yourself in his propaganda of excuses and blame when things go wrong. Too many will do so and would probably vote for him in a 3rd term not considering the simple fact that divided we fall.
Look up FUBAR, which is where the nation is at presently, a situation that will get worse simply because an arrogant simpleton refuses to learn from his mistakes.
God Bless America! (hopefully)
