Is the economy even fixable when Trump is no longer POTUS? Right now Trump is going after democrat states like Virginia where the growth rate was 6.2% but with the attacks by Trump specifically on Virginia the growth rate is 1.6 %.
DIRECT result of Trump deciding democrats are not Americans but the enemy.
Nixon had a similar thing going but he was a PTA president compared to Trump as bad as he was trump is a thousand times worse.
There is NOTHING Trump could do that will convince MAGATS he is corrupt. Which of course is the DEFINITION of CULT.
So you be Trump's enemy, he dishes out hate and attacks you person by person, county by county, state by state.
But Trump tariffs are hitting repubs as bad as democrats like the plight of Ohio Soy bean farmers now losing out on 12 billion dollars in revenue from China which is now ZERO sales to China DIRECTLY BECAUSE OF TRUMPS TARIFFS.
Yeah, soy farmers not able to sell because of Tariffs and that is just the start of our economy going down the tubes.

"2.4%
Virginia's growth rate has shown mixed trends recently. After a decade of slow growth following the 2009 housing crash, communities on the borders of Virginia's metro areas are experiencing growth resurgence, particularly in areas like Louisa County and the Richmond area, which saw significant population increases. However, some rural counties have experienced population declines, indicating a shift in growth patterns across the state.

HERE is the truth. TRUMP HATES DEMOCRATS enough to target them, so democrat states gets attacked by Trump because he wants only REPUB states to do well. Trump is powerful enough to cause chaos in any state he chooses.
And I have no doubt whatsoever you condone what Trump is doing.

@sonhouse saidThere is a net flow of cash from Dem-controlled states to Rep-controlled states. If Trump punishes too many Democrat controlled states, there will be rebellion--maybe not armed, but withholding of federal revenues would be sufficient to bring down the federal government. California is one of very few states which could survive without the union as an independent nation: it has industry, agriculture, natural resources, and harbors. Hawaii could probably survive on its own, too, and Alaska, Oregon, and Washington in alliance; but Kentucky would not.

Here are that stats:
quote
From 2018 to 2022, individuals and organizations from blue states contributed nearly 60% of all federal tax receipts but only received 53% of all federal contributions to states in the form of either direct payments, grants, contracts, or wages. Meanwhile, red states were only responsible for 40% of federal tax receipts but received 47% of all federal contributions to states. A 7% differential that in effect equates to a more than $1 trillion transfer payment from blue states to red states, amounting to $4,300 per capita, compared to the instance where their respective fair shares were paid.

@Earl-of-Trumps saidIt's more than do democrats recover, the real question is does the US recover.
@sonhouse
The real question is, sonhouse, can the democratic party survive the thrashing MAGA handed them?
The midterms this year, more than most, will be quite telling.
Trump is LITERALLY the most corrupt POTUS in US history, we worry about emoluments where maybe someone makes a few hundred bucks which is a no no for a president but the emoluments of Trump? BILLIONS and that LITERALLY and his family, Jarhead is over 2 bil richer, Don Jr a few bil himself. OUT IN THE OPEN.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidSure. I am supposed to believe someone whose lips are superglued to Trumps ass.
