The REASON Trump isn't "focusing on the ecnonomy" ahead of the Midterns is HE'S not suffering & HE does not G.A.F.

[Miles Archer]

The article in question is linked below.

There are multiple reasons why Trump is not addressing the economy and "affordability" as we head into the midterms.

1). Looks like he's using the Pottery Barn rule. By blaming Biden FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS over the last SIXTEEN MONTHS, he's saying "I'm not going to fix it. Biden broke it" (and we all know TRUMP broke it with his tariffs).

2). HE is NOT hurting personally. Do a Google search and you'll fins out that his net worth has tripled since 1/20/25.

3). He has ALREADY GONE ON NATIONAL TV and YELLED at America over "affordability," saying America was complaining about a "Democrat hoax" ( remember when COVID was "the new Democrat hoax?" ), and that the ONLY reason why Americans are complaining is that they have FAILED to THANK HIM ENOUGH for everything he's done?

4). He KNOWS he can't fix it, so burying his head in the sand is his preferred option.

5). And, the biggest reason...he really doesn't GIVE A FUCK. He wants his BALLROOM, he wants his "ARCH," he wants to play Patton or General Douglas McArthur and post AI CosPlay images of himself and play golf at taxpayers' expense but he SIMPLY DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK about the economy.

It's like January 6, when a furious Trump demanded the metal detectors be taken down because "they're not here to hurt me." He didn't care about anyone else getting hurt ot killed. He took a clear "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK" cavalier attitude about the insurrectionists hunting down Mike Pence to hang him. He has a similar attitude toward you when you go grocery shopping.

Trump is busying himself with everything except affordability ahead of the midterms
Addicted to feeding red meat to the base, Trump is ignoring the one issue that matters most.

1. Krasnov's K economy is going according to plan,

The top half of the K is booming with the stock market at record highs.

The bottom half of the K is experiencing a recession.

The only reason the entire K isn't in a recession is because AI has kept our GDP positive.

2. The K-shaped economy is very real.

It's really concerning.

At the risk on a hunble brag, I am in the top arm... at least for now. Great salary, my portfolio is doing gangbusters.

But I see the decay around me. Everywhere.

And I think I'm lucky that I am nearing retirement. I'll retire before AI replaces me... and my job is complicated and restricted enough that it'll probably be 10 years before AI can do what I do at any meaningful level (but in my job we ARE leveraging AI quite a lot now).

I think the LLM's are reaching the limits of their capability, but I think the level of integration of those LLM's has a lot of room for growth now.

3. The media gives Republicans a free pass on the economy

Trump absolutely destroyed a really good economy for working people that Biden had built and the pain is just starting now.

4. This is so true

Trump is over spending on everything. We are piling debt for stupid shit that doesn't even stimulate the economy. This is going to end awfully, the over spending, the loss of social safety nets, the war, the tariffs...

But the media loves DOW 50000 and tech stock prices. Neither of which are the economy.

5. According to fangirl Sharyl Attiksson 70% say gas prices aren't affecting them.

I hear she had an "exclusive" audience with his Majesty yesterday. The 60 Minutes sit down with Bibi was so bad I had to turn it off-Major Garrett gave it a try tho.

6. I think we should all send him a copy of Bill Clinton's desk sign and start posting it all over...

"It's the economy, stupid!"

Imagine the rage he'd exhibit by seeing that all over the place. Not only raising the issue of the economy, but also the 'stupid' part.

That would hopefully raise his blood pressure enough to finally pop that artery.

It's so easy to trigger tRumplethinskin.
