In Trump's first term, he occasionally would promise that some great thing or another would be coming from his administration in two weeks. But "two weeks", like "tomorrow", never seemed to come.

GOP lawmakers openly dissing Trump and calling for him to go, growing pressure with mounting tariff-induced inflation and unemployment, opinion polls showing Trump's reputation among MAGAs in tatters, mass protests around the nation, continual bad news for the nation's economy with no end in sight, GOP lawmakers see a devasting mid-term election. Rather than a strongman, Trump would look pathetic. He would be seen as incapable of governing.

Fri Apr 4, 2025, 09:30 AM

My thought was that it will have to show up in the hard data in an obvious undeniable way at the same time as it shows up on main street and when people gather at the bowling alley and picking up kids at daycare. Like "I haven't seen Martha for a couple of weeks now, is she okay? Oh, she lost her job then."

Sentiment is way down as revealed by surveys and the stock market (a fast-reacting barometer of future expectations). But a tick up in unemployment from 4.1 to 4.2 might be noise or it might be the toe into the hard data.

A rise in inflation will probably be noticed very quickly and it will get worse. Fear is driving the stock market, fear that we now face a downturn. People will be fearful, even MAGAs. I think the fear will be immediate, even for many MAGAs. MAGAs are immune to or favor a lot of Trump crap, like mass deportations and discrimination, but never has Trump or any president done something on this scale that will hit them where is hurts them personally. I believe that this is literally a lifetime event in terms of the impact on people's lives and finances and in how people the world over view a president. I don't see how Trump can survive this.

The senate just voted to stop tariffs against Canada I think? But the house will block a vote on it is my guess. Why does the executive have this power? Tariffs should have to be voted on, not declared by the executive. Someone who crashed the stock market this many times already would be gone in other major western countries. UK prime minister Truss was gone after 49 days when this happened, the UK is a unitary parliamentary democracy.

flicked a switch and destroyed that. The economy is going to meltdown. There is no good news that will come from this, This isn't a story that will last a week and we move on. Things can only get worse from here as the affect of tariffs and destroying international partnerships pile up. This is people's livelihoods, their savings, their jobs, their ability to feed their family. Trump will lose his authority because too many will realize he's fucked them. GOP will be decimated in the midterms unless Trump goes.

That cult is rock solid. I work with a bunch of Trumpers and they do not care about any of this. They just parrot the company line.

This is Biden’s fault.
A President’s policies don’t really take effect until two years in.
We were due for a correction.
Everything is going to be so much better than it was by December.
He inherited a disaster.

And blah, blah, blah.

They could be standing there wearing a barrel and still think it’s all good.
