The center is Republican. The far right which is running the country needs to come back to the middle. Not the democrats.Democrat party should expel any DSA affiliation and then go to the center.

Well then how about Ted Cruz?
All you have to do is look up the DSA platformHoly load of sh it.

No I’m right. Trump is much closer to a communist- see his forcing companies to give a piece to his government- than Democrats are. You’ll just dismiss that fact too.Incorrect.
Incorrect. Trump negotiated a small stake purchase of shares in certain companies and those investments have increased in value. No operational control by the government.No I’m right.

these guys have been calling democrats "communists" for decades
but now we need to be scared because they're really communists...
Inflation was 1.4% in January 2021 when Biden took office. It peaked at 9% a year and a half later. Supply chain disruptions certainly had an impact but you're dead wrong to suggest that $4 trillion of above and beyond spending didn't add fuel to the inflation fire and materially add to the debt.
Of course Trump took credit for anything positive and blamed the other guy for everything negative. It's B.S. but every president does it. That's politics.
I don't take your claim that "Trump" added $8 trillion to the deficit seriously. That was primarily due to covid and democrats who controlled congress had a major hand in all that spending. Like Rahm Emanuel said "never let a disaster go to waste". Heck, democrats lost their minds when Trump allowed covid era enhanced healthcare subsidies to expire in 2026. I've been very clear that the USA spend twice as much on Covid than what was necessary but it was clearly a bipartisan effort.
Biden didn't have record low unemployment but he did have low unemployment. Here are some (December) unemployment figures:
I'd say the unemployment rate has been pretty stable and historically low over the past decade. In fact total payroll employment is currently at an all time high (as it should be with a growing population).
- 2017 4.7% (Obama's last year)
- 2018 3.9%
- 2019 3.6%
- 2020 6.7% (pandemic)
- 2021 3.9% (Biden's first year)
- 2022 3.5%
- 2023 3.8%
- 2024 4.1% (Biden's last year)
- 2025 4.4% (Trump's first year
- 2026 4.2% (June 2026)
Of course the debt has risen steadily for decades. That was going to happen regardless of who was president. Politicians get elected by promising free stuff and they lose elections by threatening to take free stuff away. Also as Reagan said the closest thing to eternal life on earth is a government program. Once you've added something it's nearly impossible to take it away. Those are major flaws in our system. That said there are events that add to the debt more than normal. The financial crisis, Covid, and Biden's extra $4 trillion are all examples. Once those things were done the spending never came back to pre crisis levels even when accounting for inflation.
Federal deficit:
2022 1.375 trillion (first year post covid)
2023 1.695 trillion
2024 1.833 trillion
2025 1.850 trillion (First year of Trump second term)
2026 TBD but I expect higher because of war and refunded tariffs
I think you'd be better served by looking at things objectively instead of limiting yourself to democrats = good and republicans = bad.
Oil being at $90 a barrel is not a good thing for republicans. I will admit as much.Yiikes that sounds terrifying!! Marxists and islamists?
Better vote for more wars and high prices then.

Trump needs to keep increasing pressure on Iran until they capitulate.
