I guess he has those people in the bag politically anyway. The people with 401ks and a nest egg to protect, on the other hand, were probably easy swing voters.

@jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics:
ChatGPT gave me an estimate of 4-7 years to build a large aluminum smelting plant in the US at a cost of ~$5B per million tons of annual output. Oh and that assumes you have 15-20 terawatt hours per year of electricity generation nearby, enough to power about 1MM homes.
So yeah, no one’s doing that based on a tariff that might not last until June, let alone 2030.

Just wanted to say POTUS is looking well, a bit thinner in the face and very healthy. Anyone noticed a difference?

The most charitable explanation is that Navarro/Lutnick just take their fight public after losing a skirmish in a conference room somewhere.

As for an update on "Drill, Baby, Drill", more drills were shut down in the past week than in the past 2 years.
