Non-American here. Actually, this topic is none of my business, but if the gentleman with the "A" speaks up, I can too. In Germany, the current left-wing government, which has been despised by the vast majority since its inauguration for its brutal incompetence, collapsed just a few hours after Trump's victory because it was firmly counting on a Dems triumph and actually postponed the decision about its future until the US election. 84 percent of the population (!) now want early elections, as soon as possible. The overwhelming majority are happy that at least Trump's election provided the impetus and ended the left's nightmare in Germany. Thank you, America!

Right.. and the party of Lindsey Graham, Ricky Rubio, and George Santos do such a great job showing men how to be men.
I don't understand how Trump has created a strongman image. The man doesn't hunt, fish, workout, ride a motorcycle or do anything remotely "manly". He's a mediocre golfer at best.
If being a man is centered around bitching about other people, count me out.

I’m fine with getting rid of the FCC and many other government agencies.
In fact the republican candidate whose views are most closely aligned with mine is Vivek who called for cutting the government workforce by 80%
Sounds like you agree with me that it’s anti-conservative to want the POTUS to cancel a tv show.

Don't want to get caught up in the idea of masculinity and what is to "be a man" but Kimmel's reaction in front of 100,000s or millions who are looking to him for comfort is just an unhealthy coping strategy. I saw a limited clip of Seth Meyers and thought he was actually kind of appropriate.
He doesn't agree with the voters. He doesn't understand the voters. But he acknowledges that there is another side and another way that people see things.

Trying to push Kamala again in 2028 won't do any good. Everyone knows what she's about. The Republican party is good hands right now. They could have Vance/Vivek- Gabbard run against anyone on the left.

GOOD. I HOPE TRUMP CANCELS HIS SHOW AND DEFUNDS THE NETWORK.
If Trump was like the dems/liberals (he's not), Kimmel's show would be censored just like liberal minister Justin Trudeau censored the Joe Rogan podcast in Canada and censored it from Google searches. Rogan even admitted it was removed from Google searches in the US initially then restored. The leftist institution intends to control your minds. They are sickos.

US withdrawal from NATO begins January 20, 2025. Better start ramping up the EU military force. Should be an easy task. 97% of the EU population live in countries that are also in NATO.
Good Luck.

Since Trump's election, the stock market has ripped. The reason is that the markets predict lower corporate tax rates, lower regulation, resulting in higher corporate profits. The vast majority of the stock market is owned by the 1% and the majority of Americans will see NO benefit from a rise in the stock market.
Meanwhile, treasury yields have popped. This is a signal that the markets expect inflation. Trump is going to run the deficit higher and issue more Treasuries, driving yields up and resulting in inflation. Inflation is what drives grocery prices up. Everyone feels inflation and this is where most Americans are going to feel the impact of a Trump presidency.
If you voted for Trump for economic reasons, most of you have voted against your wallet.Dumbest take ever.
Trump's election has already returned me close to $80k in the market just in the last few days. I'm not some rich guy or someone who inherited money. I just went to college, got a decent degree, got a good job, and made sure to max out my 401k every year. Now that I've been doing that for 30 years, a 3% run in the market returns me enough money to live for a year. I'm not invested in high risk, hyped stocks, just S&P 500 index funds and stuff like that.
If we get the kind of market returns we had the last time Trump was president, I'll be up over a million dollars in the next few years. I'll be able to retire much earlier.
There was little to no inflation during Trump's first presidency. There will be more this time since inflation and rates are currently high, but it's doubtful that it will be anything like it has been in the last 4 years. Inflation is cooling and will cool much more when we deregulate.
Ordinary people like me gain a lot when the stock market grows. If you're young, you might not feel it yet, but a % is a %, and compounded %s is how my account got to the size it is where it now returns ridiculous sums with small % movements. Work, invest steadily and consistently, don't chase high risk investments, and ride out the big market drops and you'll do great in the American economy.

I noticed that trend and when I started looking at 50-year-old guys who are liberals and I didn't see a manly bone in their body it made me think this is not what I want to be 30 years from now so I've been in my change.
I mean the issues that 50 and 60 year old white males are worried about now, it's just a matter of time before some Islamic country takes us over if we had continued to stay with the woke policies of liberalism.
The issues that 60 and 60 year old white males face are our country being taken over by an Islamic country?
From above math it looks like you are in your late 20's. Did you type this in your parents basement before mommy made your dinner again? Wouldn't be surprised a few of your local 50-60 year old Masters will kick your butt in your Turkey Trot in a few weeks.

When Trump cut the corporate tax rate last time the corporations did not " trickle " down the profits to it workers or spend on capital. Rather, they bought back their stocks and gave themselves bigger bonus.
All you hillbillies got screwed then and are going to again.
Current inflation is about 4% as is unemployment. 1980 inflation was

I just wanna know if any of these whinny liberals hollywood types have actually followed through on their threats? Has Bono driven off a cliff or Stephen King jumped into a wood chipper, maybe Bette Midler drank her Drano. Probably not because they are liars, a man is only as good as his word, come on Stephen, jump in the chipper.

You are not an ordinary person. An ordinary person has little to no investments, and is now worse off because they have even less money compared to the people at the top that remain at the top due to their wealth creating more wealth.
