Tornado Alley (PROG)

[zab]

Anyplace is much better than America, you might believe that trump, and his sagging approval numbers, along with his inept policy blunders make you feel good. But most Americans have taken pause to make of his decisions.

Trump has done one thing; he has made uncertainty a topic of discussion for every American. American companies are curtailing plans, especially those who once had overseas operations. America did have a 5 trillion-dollar business exporting products from America all around the world. Those products now have tariffs being placed upon them from those other nations. Just like trump has done for all of those products that America traded with.

Trump has already erased another 5 trillion in stock market value, it might be paper money to you, but to an American who contributes each week to his 401-k plan, he has lost almost $ 12,000. dollars.

Those Americans, just like me have already made plans to curtail spending going forward. I had three vacations planned, but now that Americans are not welcomed in many foreign countries because why risk taking that cruise.

You must be so happy, even Volkswagen of America has just shut down its third shift.

You must be even happier here in Chattanooga, the layoffs in public schools have already started for next year. Fewer teachers, less money for disabled children to get an education, and even one of those Charter schools are going away.

That charter school was another republican endeavor, except almost all of the teachers were unlicensed, and uneducated, oh well.

Construction projects here in Chattanooga, have literally stopped and the layoffs are everywhere, why trump and Musk took away that partial government funding. That funding was combined with funds from the state level, along with the country, and the city, to assist that developer in getting all of those permits and approvals to build those apartments, condominiums, retail space, and commercial projects. Almost one billion dollars of projects that are 1/2 built, and again all of those people who once had construction jobs are now gone. Repercussions from trump, just follow the money.

Once again thanks President Biden for at least helping Chattanooga upgrade its airport and fix and build all of those bridges. I will always remember the day that one bridge structure fell on Interstate 75, that really stopped traffic, and the lady who was crushed, oh well, the rest of those bridges will just have to be left undone.

America is not looking forward to robust growth like we had under President Biden, now we get to watch America economic growth decline by almost 2.8 % in Trump's first quarter.

Just think in three months Trump policies might even produce a recession, how great is that, and trump has only just started.
