Gotta hand it to Fox. They’re forever to make ignorant posts. Prices are lower now, because we’re still on winter blend and no refineries have shut down for maintenance. Every year they go up sometime between mid april and mid may. We’ll see where we’re at, but I’ve seen this happen for decades.

Jessica nailed it. Like her, I generally think we tend to believe the POTUS has a greater affect on the economy than they do, but this is just nuts. Things were humming a long. All he had to do was do nothing and things would be fine. But tariffs on/off/on/off/ and so on are killing us.#stagflation?
I'm usually the first to say that presidents receive way too much credit and blame for economic conditions that they have little power to control or influence in the short-term.
Not this time. This is 100% self-inflicted by the president and totally unnecessary.

I honestly don’t understand why Marco took the job. I always felt trump just wanted to get him out of the senate so that a loyalist could be installed. And then a year or so down the line, he’ll fire him and Marco will have to go back to practicing law.

Rubio has a caretaker with him at all times. I'm serious. A Trump loyalist whose job it is to report back, keep him on side. That is how little Trump thinks of him.
That Trump sided with him over Musk is extraordinary. I think it's merely Trump demonstrating who's in the chair, but nevertheless.

Mike Johnson is a clown. You wanna say we can do better, fine, but trying to claim that the economy under biden was bad is straight out of the upside down.
“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡
Mike Johnson: "We're transitioning from Bidenomics and the terrible economy that was delivered by the last administration. It takes a while to turn that ship around."
