Summary
An AP-NORC poll reveals skepticism about Donald Trump’s ability to lower costs like groceries, housing, or healthcare in his first year, with only 2 in 10 Americans expressing strong confidence. Confidence is slightly higher for job creation (3 in 10).
Even among Republicans, less than half are very confident in his ability to address healthcare or food costs.
Health care remains a weak spot, with only 16% of Americans confident he can lower costs.
So why did they vote for him…
Oh right, they hate women, trans people, and immigrants…
About forget the ones who were ignorant, stupid, or trying to prove a point only to have it backfire like we all told them it would.
Only that it probably won’t backfire much on them, not as much as on everyone else
Some of you might die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make!
Buy the foreign goods you want now folks.
It takes a little while for mismanagement to negatively affect the economy and the recession to take hold. Patience. He’ll get there.
Too bad they didn’t think about it before voting.
Edit: I’d like to add that I will bet groceries for a month that they don’t go down at any point in his term.
Anyone who thinks he’ll do it at all is delusional; he’s gotten $200 million in bribes to increase corporate profits, not lower them.
He fixed healthcare in his first term remember? That was when Elon landed humans on Mars.
He fixed concepts of healthcare. Right after infrastructure week.
My favorite was capping off a huge infrastructure week with getting Mexico to pay for the wall.
Truly the day he made America great.
At this point I’m just hoping he doesn’t plunge us into The Great Depression 2: Electric Breadaloo
So great we stuck it to bLuEMaGa on that one single issue amiright single issue voters?
Lol, I don’t see how this won’t be significantly worse than that. In fact, when the economy is down, that’s when it’s the easiest for the richest people to enrich themselves further, buying companies, properties, and things when people are forced to sell for bottom dollar. And all those people are little baby birds chirping at big daddy trump to destroy the economy, so they can buy up everything, thinking they can recover the economy and eat astronomical profits.
That’s the plan anyway.
Ya know your comment reminded me that the great depression is what led to the New Deal which brought the most significant worker reforms and regulations in US history.
So maybe a Great Depression 2 would suck, but after we might get New Deal 2: Electric Healthcarealo so…there’s that
That’s very optimistic lol
He said so in an interview? Tho, not just the first year
Are you saying you believe what he says?
I do in this instance?
Are we not supposed to believe a politician backtracking on his election promises just after he won said election with them?
ok, but he totally fixed the whole palestine situation /s
Literally had someone try to tell me this the other day when the ceasefire news came out… That didn’t last.
I mean, glassing Palestine is a solution. One might even say a final solution.
I was more making fun of the articles about trump being responsible for the cease fire talked about yesterday that is falling apart today.
Well, at least it’ll make the land less enticing to Israel?
MAGA Voters: “Derp derp, he said he do thing, yup yup, we believe, yup yup, dat mean he gon do it, yup. Them eggs and them beers are gunna be incredibly affordable anyday now, yup yup”
Many Americans doubt Trump. End of statement.
Americans don’t doubt Trump. Fascists who voted for fascism but thought somehow they’d be ok doubt Trump.
People who voted for The Leopards Won’t Eat My Face aren’t Americans. Traitors to democracy to a one.
Kinda my point
Why reminds me that title of
Yeah uh deflation is actually considered very bad, not sure where people are getting this expectation from.
Wealth redistribution is good.
But nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
The only thing the bastard has ever lowered is my hope for democracy.
After the election he said himself that he wouldn’t be able to!
