Frank, exactly where have ever repeated even one fact insofar as
President Trump is concerned? If you said what you say in my face you
would spend a very long time in the hospital and you would try to blame
it on me and fail at that as well. You slimy Trump haters have not ONE
SINGLE alternative too what he is doing nor ONE single excuse for what
Biden and Obama did in office. All you have is the voice of hatred of
losing the entire support of the country and the history slave trade of
the Democrats. You are a loser and from Trump's second win you will never
again win one thing.

A proposition that is fair as an alternative to what he is doing is to

The chaos has roiled the markets, stock indices have fallen substantially
since inauguration, caused unemployment to increase, increased small
business bankruptcies, inflation has not cooled. None of this is leftist.

IF true, you're correct. However, some of what you wrote isn't born out
by the facts:
- Yes, the markets are in turmoil
- The major indices are Still slightly down for the year, but recovered
substantially from the "Liberation Day Massacre".
- Small business bankruptcies are trending higher by about 4%
(https://www.abi.org/newsroom/bankruptcy-statistics/)
- Inflation has in fact cooled to near the Feds 2% target

The trends and indicators are not good, fundamentals are weak, and
futures are down with trump not having enough of an attention span to
manage the individual trade agreements, to the point that he's back on
his unilateral kick:

Business 101.  Not leftist.
 
Businesses need stability, predictability, etc. to plan for inventory and
employment. Trump chaos has eradicated predictability.

Exactly.

And then there’s the market manipulation, if not for immunity granted by
SCOTUS, anyone else would be indicted.  When the stock market doesn’t dip
enough for his pals to buy, he puts on heavier tariffs to make the prices
go lower, and then announces pauses to have the prices go back up.
 
 
 

I'm not the only one that favors Trump's actions.

WTVO) — New data analyzed by CNN shows that foreign-born U.S. citizens
are favoring the Republican Party on immigration policy over
Democrats.

According to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten, legal immigrant
voters have moved 40 points in favor of Republicans on immigration.

“Foreign-born voters have gone tremendously to the Right on this issue
in 2024 and 2025 versus where they were in 2020,” said Enten. “You go
back to 2020, Democrats, get this, held a 32-point lead on this issue.
Immigrant voters were in the Democratic camp. Jump forward to 2024,
2025. Look at that shift. A 40-point shift to the Right among
immigrant voters.”
