Rising fuel costs have rippled across the U.S. economy, with April inflation surging to 3.8%, its highest level in nearly three years, according to data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Increased energy costs, the agency said, are “accounting for over forty percent of the monthly all items increase.”

Job growth did outpace expectations last month, according to the agency’s April jobs report released last week, while U.S. stock indexes have hit record highs during the war.

But Americans overwhelmingly have expressed discontent with the economy under Trump. A CNN/SSRS survey conducted between April 30 and May 4 found that 70% of Americans disapproved of Trump’s handling of the economy. That’s the highest number the pollster has recorded throughout Trump’s two terms in office. During his first term, that number never broke 50%.

Additionally, an NBC News Decision Desk Poll released last month found that two-thirds of respondents disapproved of Trump’s handling of inflation, as well as his handling of the Iran conflict.

Trump on Sunday rejected Iran’s latest offer to end the conflict, calling it “unacceptable.” He added on Monday that an ongoing ceasefire was “on life support.”

>>1514580
>I think about one thing — we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.
Trump admits that literally the only thought in his head is Israeli propaganda that they've spent over two decades trying to sell America.

I'm sure MAGAfags are suitably worried about their President openly doing a foreign powers bidding, otherwise they'd look stupid trying to fake some sort of equivalence with a literal 'who' mayor or something

I wish some reporter would ask him why he didn't do anything about Iran's nuclear program in the entire four years of his first term if they've been such an existential threat to America all this time.

>>1514588
That would assume the media isn't totally controlled by Republicans who were running damage control and sanewashing everything trump does.

>>1514588
>why he didn't do anything about Iran's nuclear program in the entire four years of his first term if they've been such an existential threat to America all this time.
Demonstrably false, he ripped up the agreement stopping them from creating a nuke. Thats not 'doing nothing'
He did then do nothing to prevent Iran from having a nuclear bomb in 2 weeks throughout his entire 4 years after that though.

>>1514580
Wow, so he can tell the truth.

>>1514588
All the reporters in the White House are now curated to only ask questions that benefit the party. That won't happen unless one of them decides to go "fuck it."
People don't understand how damaging this is to democracy. A free and independent press isn't just some nice thing to have, it is absolutely essential.

>>1514598
>A free and independent press
>Tells us that men are women, faggots are okay and thinking blacks are dangerous is rayciss
Yeah, that's not free or independent. If they were free and independent they'd be free to tell us the truth and we'd have a white ethnostate because nobody else on this planet is safe to be around.

>>1514640
the truth is you're literally not american

>>1514640
Explain how press choosing to say "gays gettimg married is okay" is neither "free" nor "independent"
Protip: you can't

North Korea has had nukes for many years and they hate America just as much if not more! Want to know why they haven't used them? Because they know about MAD! It's an insurance policy for the regime and nothing more! As long as the nuclear taboo remains NOBODY will use them! That's how it's been since 1945!

>>1514580
How will liggerals complain?
Oh, they did it for you in the article by asking a loaded question.

>>1514662
Yeah, and now they're actively trying to rig our democracy to stay in power. As they've been doing for years, decades, but now more overtly than ever.
Using democracy to get into power doesn't mean you want democracy.

Those who worship an orange Antichrist aren't normal. They'll never be people. Case in point, that statue at the orange Antichrist's golf course.

>>1514735

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nZGx511XZCU

>>1514784
Lmao dont make your trolling so obvious. The media treated Biden wth infinitely more scrutiny than they are giving Trump. Its why Trump can keep sleeping through meetings and being rushed to the hospital with no coverage, meanwhile whenever Biden spoke too softly they were calling for his resignation.
Also not a single lie was told during that segment lol.

>>1514683
He'll just say he has the Mojority on his side.

>>1514795
So give me an example of a time the media forced Joe Biden or his attorney general Merrick Garland to answer difficult questions about the release of the Epstein files, or his ability to prosecute pedos in the files. I can provide examples of Pam Bondi or Donald Trump being asked those questions if you are interested

>>1514802
You should ask why the republican controlled mainstream media is running a full cover up for Epstein and trump then.

>>1514802
god you're esl, and probably also a pedophile

>>1514803
I was hoping for some examples.
Maybe another day. Every day I am here I will invoke the names Joe Biden and Merrick Garland

>>1514806
and bringing up biden will never erase the pictures of trump hanging out with his bff epstein. but you do you esl shill

>>1514807
This is just like Trump Russia all over again. It's bullshit.
To prove me wrong, I would request any direct communication between Jeffrey Epstein, and Donald J Trump or his associates. Not emailing other people he is Trumps best friend or he is meeting with the Trump sons, an email between Epstein and the Trump sons, a text message or phone call between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, or an email with other parts of the Trump family like to his wife, daughter, or Jared Kushner

>>1514808
no, all the pictures and articles about trump and his epstein relationship are real. funny how pictures of biden and epstein don't exist, isn't it esl shill. when you grew up did you think you'd end up being some faggot on the internet defending pedophilia?

>>1514809
There is plenty of evidence of Biden's sexual impropriety with children
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydYxocpZ0kM
There's contemporary evidence of his sexual assault
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aivzaeV8qxY
Did you think you would be defending Joe Biden's pedophilia online?

>>1514810
esl shill, you'll never succeed in swaying anyone this way. you should probably just get a real job where you don't have to run damage control for a child raping pants-shitting bottom tier president

>as the likes of >>1514810 would say, 'tranny lovers are pedos'

QED.
Then there's this
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2016/oct/13/trump-makes-inappropriate-remarks-about-10-year-old-girl-video
Did you think you would be defending Donald Trump's pedophilia online?
>b-b-but there's nothing wrong with Trump being a pedo! Only those I say who commits 'sexual impropriety with children' are pedos and who aren't! There's nothing wrong with me projecting! Y-y-you're the pedo for saying I'm wrong and calling out my hypocrisy!!
Accusations are Admissions.
No, projecting shill, you are the pedos.
And then >>1514810 was a hypocritical orange didller-defending zombie.

But enough about you and the Joe Biden presidency

>>1514815

But enough about you and the Donald Trump presidency

>>1514815
i do appreciate the flattery, but you're no closer to having a real job by brainlessly imitating the insults hurled your way

>>1514806
Well the example is the republican controlled mainstream media not talking about the epstein files and trump's illegal cover up of them.
Why are you a part of that?

>>1514855
'Cause there's nothing there about Trump.
You'd have heard it by now if there were.
Lets not forget Democrats have access to the files.
So, it's onto the next complaint to sway public opinion to win the midterms for media billionaires. Didn't you get the memo?

>>1514808
>This is just like Trump Russia all over again. It's bullshit.
It wasn't. Stop lying.

>>1514868
Why can't Demofags win without making up scams?

>A brown woman outlined a platform for sensible government that involved several programs to help elevate the middle class in the same national debate she humiliated the mental midget I voted for for raving about immigrants eating people's pets.

>Democrats have a platform, I'm just way too fucking stupid to understand it, and if I had to engage with them on any issue that isn't the dumbest version of a strawman I'd lose. That's literally the reason I just said they have no platform. I'm about to pivot to transphobia, because I somehow think this policy is embarrassing for dems, despite literally every organization of physicians stating gender-affirming care has value and saves lives. Hopefully if I screech about them enough on social media, my closest friends and family won't be so suspicious I'm a closeted faggot. Finally, an outlet for my obsessive dick fixation.

>>1514894
>Not understanding that the point is not whether or not gender-affirming healthcare saves lives, the point is that people are tired of catering to a minority group's needs when their own needs aren't being met and most peoples' care for groups that are not their own is only performative

Anon, people just don't give a shit and want the weirdo trannies to fuck off and die in a fire. They may not come out and say it, but pro-minority views sort of require basic needs to be met for normies in order to flourish, they literally don't give two damns or a fuck about anyone but themselves. That goes for Corporate, Government, and every other major actor or group on the world stage, including trannies themselves, who often bitch about 'cissoids' having too much while they have so little.

>>1514901
>people just don't give a shit and want the weirdo trannies to fuck off and die in a fire

>>1514912
No, they are. But most people find trooning weird and want nothing to do with them.
You know why they think it's weird?
Because it's some fucking mentally ill person acting out a fantasy.
Like if you saw a grown person acting like a cat or something. That would be fucking weird.
That's what you are, tranny. That's how people see you.

>>1514914
Sure, most Americans think it's weird. They don't want them to die; most people don't want to murder countless random people. That's just a you thing.

>>1514917
No, its really Trannies that make it into a life or death issue.
>THEY'RE TAKING OUR HEALTHCARE I'M BEING KILLED AAAAAAAA

People just don't want to deal with them at all. They want them to go away, stop screeching, and accept being blithely ignored like the rest of the majority of the human race. They don't want to pay for them, or see them given any special treatment. Its trannies who equate this to being killed for some strange reason.

>>1514917
>They don't want them to die;
I don't know, the troons got pretty insufferable and started shooting up schools and stuff.
I can't gauge public opinion on that.
But most people would probably prefer that they're cured rather than allowed to run around being insane is my guess.
But being on 4chan and interacting with the crazy faggot spammers changes one's opinion because the play acting isn't the only terrible thing about the insane fuckers.
They're all liars (shocker right) and the dumbest fucking retards on the planet.

The Harris/Trump Debate that was on national TV.

>I'm a massive faggot.

The democratic platform is outlined in said debate. The strongest points imo were a tax plan that would elevate the middle class by giving breaks to first time parents, homebuyers and small business owners.

You can shit on the dem's platform. (I mean YOU can't, you're not fucking smart enough to engage with it, let alone criticize it.) But claiming it doesn't exist is objectively false, and just exposes you for being a simpleton.

Now why don't you tell everyone how beautiful the emperor's new clothes are you fucking dunce?

>>1514966
Yea I guess that's why they implemented all that shit since 2008 while they held the White House for 12 of the last 18 years, huh? Keep chasing that carrot on the stick and vote blue no matter who.

>>1514966
But no tax on tips was Trump's idea she just latched onto it because it polled well
