Summary

Consumer confidence has declined since Donald Trump’s return to office, with the University of Michigan reporting a drop in sentiment and rising inflation concerns.

Many Trump voters are frustrated by market turbulence and sweeping executive orders. Voter Paul Bisson fears economic instability, saying, “That’s not what we signed up for.”

Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.

Polls indicate growing anxiety, with some supporters questioning Trump’s policies and their long-term economic impact.

          The last political talk I had with my 70+ year old mother ended with her screaming at me and crying while she called me a know it all for actually having thought through my convictions and having data to back it up.

          I called her out for holding a brick in her hand that has access to all of human knowledge and saying all she did was look at fucking Facebook.

          Then I get told I don’t know what I’m talking about despite knowing very well what I’m talking about.

          These people are demented

            This sounds like why I don’t talk to my family.

            Or more accurately, why they (thankfully) choose not to talk to me. Because I’m more than happy to be considered the ‘know it all’ because I bother to rub two braincells together and force them to have to spark a thought to defend themselves.

          Let them know you’re still happily married to reality, but they’re more divorced from reality than trump is from his first wife.
