What is Donald Trump's latest email campaign about?
Donald Trump may be crashing the economy, but you can win a trip to Mar-a-Lago. So says Donald Trump in an email to his supporters as he's crashing everything he sends these emails. Don't miss your chance to win a free flight and hotel in Florida. Everyone that takes the Trump citizen quiz will be entered to win a dinner at the lavish Mar-a-Lago.
You could go to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, everyone. Then Donald Trump sends this email to his supporters. I subscribe to his listserv so you don't have to. He goes, Ben, I have a few proposals on taxes, but I need your input before I make any decisions. One, no tax on tips. Two, no tax on overtime. Three, no tax on social security. Answer Trump.
Then when you click it, it takes you to a page where he asks you for money for one of his political action things. Hey, Donald, why didn't you put this stuff in the continuing resolution? I don't see any mention of this in the outline for the Republicans resolution. I see massive tax cuts for billionaires, $4.5 trillion.
I see you basically gutting all of Medicaid and destroying the lives of veterans, but I don't see that anywhere. I guess you put them in your emails, but not in the actual budgets themselves. That's why I call this Trump regime insane. the rug pull presidency or the Ponzi scheme presidency. I think the American people, though, by and large, are figuring it out.
This is from a Fox News Beacon Shaw poll. How likely is it that the U.S. economy will go into a recession this year? 71% of Americans from this Fox poll say a recession is likely. Only 26% say not likely. So 71% of Americans say likely. That is devastating because in and of itself, when consumer confidence falls like that, by the way, that's the Fox-Beacon-Shaw poll.
then that actually creates the recession as well. It becomes a self-fulfilling thing. By the way, here's Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's. And he goes, I have no clue what's going on here. Our economy was rip roaring. Consumers were actually feeling good.
This seems like a recession by design, like this Trump regime intentionally tried to cause it, and they're sending the country into an economic spiral.
Here, play it. There's a lot of talk about reciprocal tariffs. That's broad-based tariffs coming into effect in a couple weeks, I think, early April. If that actually happens and those tariffs stay in place— for any length of time, a couple, three, four, five months, I think that's enough to push the economy into recession, given everything else that's going on.
So, you know, this would be a really weird recession, right? I mean, it's recession by design. You know, the economy came into the year rip-roaring, exceptionally strong, and we're pushing it in because of policy. It just doesn't feel like, you know, that's the direction we need to go. So I suspect the president and the administration at some point will say, okay, enough already.
