'Really big political problem for the White House': GOP pollster delivers stark warning to Trump
Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson on Sunday warned President Donald Trump and his Republican allies about the impact of the president’s tariffs on the GOP, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper the White House could face a “really big political problem” if the president’s policies don’t pan out in the long term.
Tapper asked a “State of the Union” panel about the president being “OK” with a short term recession after Trump told NBC News’ Kristen Welker the U.S. is “in a transition period.”
“What would you advise talking to voters as you do?” Tapper asked Anderson.
“I would advise keeping the focus on the benefits, and I really think that it's important for this White House to — whatever they're negotiating — land on something that short term pain is not going to be that painful," Anderson replied. "You know, people do want to see manufacturing come back to the U.S. They do want to see cost of living go down. They do want to see America make more things and make great things, and that's all fine.”
“Then keep the focus on that, because right now, in the short term, if we get to Christmas and kids have fewer toys, but the factory down the street hasn't reopened, that does create a really big political problem for the White House,” she added.

I'm waiting for the announcement. The operation was a success. Unfortunately, the patient died."

It doesn't sound so implausible to me. After 40 years of destroying the safety net and shoveling ever more money to the rich and no sign at all of people waking up to how much it's hurting everyone else, something drastic had to happen to convince a critical mass of voters to change course. If this doesn't do the trick, I really don't want to know how bad things have to get.

Trump changes his tune on the economy
President Trump is changing his tune on the economy, suggesting Americans should buy less and will probably pay more and bear the brunt of an uncertain economic landscape as his wide-ranging tariff policy takes effect.
Trump and his economic team have for weeks said the tariffs would result in only short-term pain and that the tumult in the stock market would eventually level out.
But the White House’s messaging has evolved from Trump on the campaign trail promising to lower prices and make America “wealthy” again to Trump suggesting the U.S. needs a cultural shift on consumer spending while accepting that his tariff plan will raise prices.

Then, he got it under control. Those were turbulent times, but not because of Carter's policies. He wasn't putting tariffs on the world like the current nut is.And managed to double the interest rate in 4 years.
Did you refinance as soon as possible? He made that happen, too, for you.

I'm no fan of Carter or Trump. They could both end up being horrible presidents.

I liked the peanut farmer. Voted for him. He was genuinely reverent and polite. He may be labeled in some books as a less-than-stellar president, but the felon–that's a given.I'm no fan of Carter or Trump. They could both end up being horrible presidents.

The age old question: is it better to be liked, or feared?

Liked, of course.The age old question: is it better to be liked, or feared?
If you fall, you're more likely to get help. Feared, you're more likely to have a rug thrown over you until you expire.
And... that's not an 'old age' question!

Like I said somewhere else, being liked is for grandpas, not presidents.Liked, of course.
