With rampant runaway inflation, high energy costs, people unwilling to work, and all of the other failures this administration has caused, it will be the only possible outcome.

Yet nobody, NOBODY has proved there was any fraud in the election. As JH said, no AG has filed a case regarding election fraud. Just keep believing in the big lie

Because duh. Our country is in economic free fall and the Biden Admin caused it. Reopen the Keystone Pipeline, stop the flow of illegal immigrants, and have more pride in our country...but they are steering us to “accept less” one admin said don’t have pets they cost $. We need Trump back ASAP!

Adam I get what you are trying to say but disinformation or news bias is not something strictly republican or democrat everyone falls for it. Do I agree with what Lisa says most of the time? No, but articles like that won't help where conversations can be better used

Fraudulent election had nothing to do about the question of the day. Yes the right wing people keep throwing fraud out at every chance. Yet still no proof of it.

The economy is actually in pretty good shape except for some inflation. Oil is a global commodity and presidents have very little control of gas prices. Jobs are plentiful and grocery stores can`t get enough checkout operators because there are plenty of better paying jobs to be had elsewhere

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
