Tim Scott said he hoped it was fake because it was "..the most racist.." thing to come out of the White House.
What an admission. And an indictment of himself and the party.
If there was any question that they're tolerating this shit to get what they want, there's the answer.

I'm convinced most people don't know how anything works and are so abused by all of the systems that make the country go that they've lost contact with reality. This is right or left. Red or Blue.

Something like this matters greatly if hiring also slows. But we can't get reliable BLS statistics so we can't even tell just how bad it is.
We'll be told everything is great.
And Lutnick made clear that the Trump economy begins in Q1/Q2 2026.

There's no fixing this. Very bearish on the future of the US.
A vast majority of Republicans still support President Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown, which led to the killing of two protesters in Minneapolis last month, new polls show. But a small, and growing, share of Republicans now say that enforcement has gone too far, the polls reveal.

We're told that cutting taxes spurs the economy and job creation.
The top 1% got the majority yet that same group has invested heavily in AI which is specifically meant to replace people for a higher profit.
So what kind of jobs can we expect them to create while they're busy eliminating jobs?
