Trump Economy Beats Naysayers!

Blame Colorado Democrats for that Colorado diesel must be the Super clean version.

I just did a few “adjustments” and modifications to my tdi Jetta, which has given me an extra 45hp and I actually hit 50 mpg driving to Casper. The black smoke is the engine saying THANK YOU!! F Polis. I haven’t had to wait through an emission test in over 3 years now and we have 4 vehicles.

The ULSD fuel for highway vehicles is a federal requirement to lower sulfur emissions, as is the DEF additive to keep the NOx emissions below acceptable levels.

The rest of it is also the result of the EPAs ozone regulations . . . which is why winter fuel in Colorado is also more expensive now.

And definitely more right wing than President Trump.


Looks like a platform for Bernie Sanders.

Who knew President Trump was a socialist? Controlling the means of production.

They neglect to mention the time Joe Biden was yelling at UAW workers.

Remember when the pundits claimed Trump's tariffs would raise inflation to record highs? Wrong again.



1.55% very low inflation rate.

These pundits are wrong more often than weathermen! Fire thrm.

I haven't done any digging, but were you not concerned about Trump's tariffs causing higher inflation?

I agree. I think he's trying to pull more uninformed voters from the left and middle. I don't see any of that actually happening, kinda like some of his tariff threats. I'm wondering if this is advice from an advisor or his own idea, but it's not a good one. Limiting credit card interest would have been a good idea decades ago, before so many got addicted to easy credit, but not now. Capping it at 10% would cause CC companies to deny higher risk borrowers, which would probably be a good thing in the end.

Trump plays a different game that confuses both parties much of the time... I enjoy watching it play out.

Yes. It made economic sense. Instead of buying cheap goods made by Chinese slave labor, Americans would have to buy quality goods made by expensive domestic labor. I was wrong, or our trading partners lowered prices to preserve market share.
