New in PN: The looming Trump-cession
"No administration in history has done so much so quickly to immiserate the American people. And no administration since Herbert Hoover’s seems less willing to change course as it barrels over a cliff."
Orange man bad (for the economy).
You read my mind.
Bit OT but that pic can’t be real. Too many young, white, smiles w perfect teeth. Not representative of America. Maga, maybe.
To see some of your tax dollars back in Federal Emergency or disaster relief, you have to pledge allegiance to another country first. The Republican Political Party is the new poster child for Group Insanity. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/u...
Those women smiling at trump are really men or handmaids. They don't deserve the protections democrats want to give them.
Unfortunately none of the economic numbers coming out from this White House in the future will have anything to do with reality.
The US is a failed state. It’s time for all sane nations to drop the US dollar for international trading and liquidate all US treasury bonds. A robust retaliatory measure to combat the destabilizing trump regime. Get in early! The US dollar will depreciate exponentially once the divestment starts.😎
Look at the stupid ass and his stupid monstrosity of a hairdo… and the many young smiling faces! Most of them should be sticking out their tongues at him! 👎🏻 Brainwashed young people who are not looking for jobs? Ew! 🤢
To be fair, Hoover was not unmoved by the miseries of the Depression - but he didn't think the President had the authority to intervene.
And that's another indication of how far we've sunk - Hoover would be an improvement.
Hell, this guy would be an improvement...
Well we have to know that with Epstein and a doomed economy we are going to be hearing a lot about Hillary’s emails, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Obama’s involvement with Russia? The list of maybe distractions is long.
Don't worry friends, #SleepyDonFromEpsteinIsland will get his karma.
No te preocupes. No te rindas.
Trump-ression.
News flash...we went over the cliff
Going to be painful! It’s coming! 😖
No administration in history spent 4 years planning and preparing after its first attempt so they could hit the ground running…
Not since Nixon have I seen such a creepy picture of young people. Also, brown guy in corner looks skeptical.
Look at all their empty vacant faces...their eyes only see their golden daddy dumpy pants. #TrumpCultIsReal
Powell had to walk a tightrope to keep inflation in check while the economy came roaring back from the pandemic at a time when oil production had been cut to a minimum because the barrel price was bottomed out.
Trump is an asswipe.
With a picture of him greeting the new Hitler Youth. Great.
Images of children smiling at dictators always sickens me
Immiserate. Had to look that up. Perfect word.
His cliff runneth over.
Learned a new word from this at least. Immiserate - to cause to become poor or impoverished. Yep, that would make you miserable too.
Depression
I am so glad I am raising two kids who would never look at this child raping piece of shit with adoration like these disgusting young people are.
Don't forget:
Recession is just a stop on the way. Stock up while you can. Start a garden. Learn how to can your own food. Raise chickens or rabbits if your city lets you. We're 2 blocks away from being able to. This is going to be a long bumpy ride.
We’re in a recession. You don’t need a talking head on the news to make the announcement and there is absolutely no way this regime will announce economic collapse. Don’t spend beyond necessities. Let those in denial meet their demise.
FLOODING THE ZONE Release the #TrumpsteinFiles #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinList
Why are they smiling? He isn't amusing in any way, any shape, any form. They've got the wrong person to idolize.
He is poison.
We've already seen that white people who voted for Trump don't attribute any of the negatives impacting them to him. Their desire to hang on to white supremacy has that strong a hold.
They're already setting the stage to call it the Biden recession with all the BS about the BLS. I don't put it past his rubes to fall for this...
MISER-Y can be found in that word.
We're so fucked.
This is all because of Trump’s fascism.
Inflation is currently lower than where Biden left it, unemployment is flat year over year, the stock market is at an all time high, wages are outpacing inflation, and a budget surplus has been hit.
Absolute nazi misery we’re living in.

Trump (tariff) tax, Trumpflation, now we might get a Trumpcession? Sigh.
www.seattletimes.com/business/the...
A new poll finds the vast majority of U.S. adults are feeling some stress about the cost of groceries, as prices continue to rise and concerns about the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs rema...
The media isn’t making it clear that growth last year under Biden came in at 2.8%; this year we are on track for gdp growth of only 1.2%. The headlines should be shouting that under Trump growth is less that half of that and that we are heading for the dreaded stagflation that destroyed Carter.
What’s with the diverse group he’s greeting?
In other words, we're about to suffer to save this pedo's bloated ego and sorry orange a**.
he's decided the world ends with him.
Tip of the cap to whomever chose that photo.
And when the public gets angry, he’ll retaliate by declaring martial law. Good times ahead.
Taking in all the Sweeny's with perverse vile thoughts.
Now is one of those moments when I'm super glad that I covered the Smoot Hawley tariffs when I was teaching American government.
The tRump-cession is just starting to swing into high gear. Once tariffs really start to bite and employment plummets the country will race straight towards the economic brick wall of the tRump-Depression
Make America Great-depression Again
Fuck tRump Fuck his clan Fuck his whole "administration"
It's not just him and his administration. SCOTUS started it and Congress is giving him their powers.
He either has no idea the effect he’s having on the economy, or he doesn’t care.
Either way, he reminds me of the person with terrible body odour who turns up to a celebration Party, not wearing a deodorant, and doesn’t realise why no one wants to listen to his jokes.
Tariffs =TAX. The only people paying the TAX are Americans… ( it’s like a sales tax). The Trump narrative seems to be, we have all this extra revenue from tariff taxes. And it’s like the Japanese or Europeans are paying it. NO it’s AMERICAN tax payers!

Just thinking out loud, but didn’t this asshole bankrupt six companies and a couple of casinos? And he’s got his hands on our treasury with no oversight? What where were you thinking.
His first go-round with midterm elections was a colossal failure, and knowing that’s likely going to be his fate in 2026, he is trying to rig the system. It’s the only way he can keep things rigged in his favor. We must stop this craziness. 2/end
He likes to call himself a winner, but he truth is he’s lost at almost everything he’s ever done (except for the big assist from Mark Burnett), from steaks to airlines, to universities and charities to casinos. CASINOS (did you hear that MAGA???). 1/
Yet inflation in the US today is actually accelerating, even as growth slackens. Consumer prices in June were 2.6 percent higher than they had been one year earlier, according to Commerce Department data released last week.
stagflation
Ah, but with a new Trump pick as head of the Stats Bureau, there will never be a recession again (until Trump's gone).
Those “supporters” look like there’s something not quite right there
The USA needs a modern day revolution and blue states should be holding back your federal tax dollars from Washington. Hit them where it hurts, money talks. Get Trump and the GOP off the books and out of the oval office
Normally Wall Street is pretty attuned to reality because it puts their fortunes at risk not to be. I'm still waiting for Wall Street to align its thinking with our assumption.
Recession is a feature not a bug. He and his rich friends want to swoop in a feed off the caucuses!
Orange man bad (sex offender).
I can’t get past the admiration on the faces of the young people surrounding him 🤨
No surprise!!
#RepublicansWantTheAmericanPeopleToSufferAndDie
Truth…. The GOP could change this. Feckless
Frankly they could drop that "(for the economy)" part and the sentence would be more accurate.
Trump-cession or Trumpcession means ….
it’s a “great” time for American companies, shareholders, employees and voters for Trump.
Enjoy the ride you wished for and don’t leave the vehicle till it stops completely to a standstill. It’s six months and 42 months to go with Trump.
Has he started weaving white wool into his hair? His head never looks like that
Be careful with those kids. Trump is a child molesting pervert.
This administration has declared economic war on its own constituents, who are too busy trying to make ends meet to fight back. Meanwhile our politicians are happy to ignore the darker implications of it means their poll numbers go up 🤷♀️
He’ll blame it on Biden and the cult will believe him.
And no administration in history has considered itself so infallible while being wrong about everything.
immiserate...... but also: eviscerate, humiliate, castigate, subjugate, devastate, eliminate, violate, discriminate, dominate, exasperate, obliterate, irritate invalidate, amputate, alienate
#Incinerate #PresidentEpstein
is that photo Ai, are kids these days really into pedophiles ?
Is anyone surprised that we put a man who is known for bankruptcy in charge of the nation and expected economic boom?
(I did have to look up "immiserate" and must agree I'm not looking forward to becoming "poor and impoverished"...)
It’s clear now that Republicans are unable to govern. They have destroyed every economy they have received in recent history. We must work to remove them from ANY future leadership position in this country. Certainly a true Conservative Party should grow from their dumpster fire but…..
Btw, 350,000 jobs in 3 months is anemic job growth. You need to create between 150 to 200 thousand jobs a month just to break even.
Trump’s economic policy: all gas, no brakes—straight into the ditch.Hard to believe Hoover’s legacy is now someone else’s floor. This isn’t leadership—it’s sabotage in slow motion.
"He Doesn't Care" should be the headline always. As long as his pockets + bank are being enriched, the whole world could burn. An American President who doesn't care to be a President, doesn't have empathy, intelligence or skills to manage democracy + is only about how the power enriches him.
Putin's agenda, Putin's orders. The Rapist obeys on pain of death.
While the medias, all owned by fascist white supremacist billionaires, suck up to the wannabe dictator like the US is Russia, China and North Korea.
We are heading for a depression. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/08/what...
No one has ever seen numbers like these!
See that consumer spending drop (in blue). Haven’t see that kind of drop since Covid.
Half of the country is giddy with excitement over the immiseration of their fellow countrymen.
You don't fix something that ain't broke. You broker something to fix for your friends
Even with independent economists, business and labour leaders confirming a recession, the ORANGE FUCKNUGGET will STILL say the economy is booming and firing anyone who says otherwise!
25TH AMENDMENT THE FUCKER BEFORE HE DOES ANY MORE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE!!!
WHY IS THIS SO HARD??
Wait for it...wait for it...
Immiserate.
The word I wasn’t looking for that I did not know I needed this much!
this picture shows the next generation of brain-washed trump cult followers! Now we know what AI is doing to the young people of America - dumbing them down every day!!
We will start seeing Trumpvilles.
That picture is messed up. The kid in the back right gets it.
Why are those young people grinning and looking at him with adoration?
All those girls in the picture fawning over the old dirty pervert, the guilty sexual assaulted, the man standing between justice and pedophiles.
IMMISERATE 👏
You cannot run the government like it's a business. A nation doesn't get to fire people they don't like; unless you want to start building death camps.
So, what are you yanks gonna do?
Meanwhile...
What happens to most every cult?
How can anybody smile at this prick? JFC... so sick.
I'm gonna throw up.
Hitler youth ... uncanny resemblance.
The Brits have nailed it!
THE PARTY of endless immorality and corruption—the Republicans—once again covers itself in un-American disgrace.
It may well be a depression. Tick tock ...
"Oh, pretty young girls. Let me touch these."
Look at all the lemmings in that picture…
The real problem for Trump is that he has lied so much across the board in all areas. No one in the world trusts him or believes anything he says. He has proven he is disloyal and can’t be trusted. He lies at golf and in policy. He lies about his personal life and the lives of others. What a mess!
trump loves screwing people and inflicting cruelty. He’s loving every second of his ‘presidency’ bc he can do that, with the blessing of the SCOTUS, no less.
If #Trump were to say " #MAGA, I want all of you to jump off a cliff right now‼️" Would they?🤔
There goeth #MAGAts 🙏
I'll never understand his appeal to young people. I thought they hated Boomers and everything they stand for.
Today's word is "immiserate". #wotd
And I effin hate that know it now.
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/i...
the act of making miserable; especially : impoverishment… See the full definition
The only brown face doesnt look happy
How in the h-ll can these people smile in his presence?
Immiseration and Enshitification.
The Trump Era.
Trump isn’t at all interested in what’s good for America. He’s on the right course for enriching & empowering himself, & that’s all he cares about.
FFS People One more time, The Dump was installed to Destroy America can you Not see that? Even @6months in. The MSM Is Owned by the Very Oligarchs behind this Coup/Take Over ! They/MSM Will Never tell the truth about There guy(s)! About Anything That matters to average Freedom Loving Americans.
Release the files
But what if he tries out a bold innovative new strategy of just lying and telling everyone everything is amazing because of him
I will agree. Nit in my lifetime have I ever seen such weakness!
trump will expose us to the same results as Hoover's administration
Love this pic of the Cult. They think he’s New Jesus. Can you imagine? This criminal rapist?!
It's been a brazen push for a market crash since the administration took over. It could be pure incompetence or a plan by incompetents.
My fear is that they are tanking the economy intentionally because that assures anyone in power a blank check in the form of "stimulus" or justifying SS cuts.
Facts are important!💙
They should leave off the (for the economy) because orange man is just bad!!!
Stay out of arms reach, girls.
Very poetic.
I imagine the dying corpse of America, wrapped in a big red bow, delivered with gold-leaf flourish to the Kremlin's front door. Ding dong!
Oh please allow me to push!
Recessions are for us regular folks.
If no one has realized this yet…He wants to destroy the pillars of government and the economy while at the same time making billions, if not trillions of dollars for himself and his biggest donors. We see it happening every day. Let’s not fall for the fact that this administration actually cares!!
When you have to fix the ills of the prior administration it might hurt in the short term. By the end of this year- before election season for the midterms - I’d be willing to bet the economy will be in high gear budget surpluses will be the norm and criminal illegals will be deported
at least Hoover wasn't doing it intentionally
This is right in line w/my belief. Trump cannot continue down his path for authoritarianism, making rash, irresponsible moves in aid of that goal, without crashing the economy. He has no strategy, no awareness of the consequences. It's just matter of time and that's when the party will abandon him.
Trump depression more like it and no metric will be gauged in reality.
What do you bet in this pic of Trump with children he is only making comments on their appearance? Because he is a creep.
Faces of the guys on the right though 😂
What sick fucking parents let their kids near that deviant?
'Trump-cession', hm.. idk.. could remind some of secession instead of recession. What about the 'Trump Slump' cc @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @olbermann.bsky.social @jefftiedrich.bsky.social
Fact: The value of the dollar has decreased 10% this year, the worst in over 50 years. But hey, "Winning!" www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...
The U.S. economy is still a good investment, if you look at growth and high interest rates, but investors are rattled by high tariffs and high deficits.
Learned a new vocab word today.
Instead of Hoovervilles, maybe it’s time to start calling homeless encampments Trumptowns
Because that's Trump's mission.
Welcome to the Trump Slump
Just like the Egyptian pharaohs, they believe they can take it with them to the next level ..into the grave
No President in history surrounded themselves with so many people who would directly benefit if America failed. That’s the big difference.
With apologies to Hemingway, recessions happen two ways: gradually, then suddenly.
With the July jobs report, new Import Tax (formerly known as tariffs) effects, increasing inflation, the dismantling of democracy and the capitulation of law firms, universities, we appear to be moving to "suddenly."
As far as I can tell watching from afar, this is what the country wants.
All trump cares about is lining his own pockets and the only thing the GOP cares about is political power, so elected republicans will let donnie rape America so that they can remain in power even tough they're the minority party.
Americans need to wake the fuck up before it's over with.
He really is stupid, but you have to wonder how much of this is intentional.
every harm - every crisis - every death belongs to Trump & #republicans 👿☠️ Never forget
Wall Street traders love layoffs.
And No Congress in history has ever done 💩💩💩💩, to stop him ...
Orange man bad for the Economy ‼️
It’s beginning to look a lot like the Kansas Experiment.
We're "it won't affect me, just the other guy"-ing ourselves into autocrisy
The dopey looks on their faces are similar to the looks who followed this guy👇
Who are the moronic smiling sycophants
Perfect clothes, perfect hair, and a blinding display of utterly perfect teeth.
Ivories seldom seen outside of an ad for Steinway.🎹
…and an orthodontia budget that could’ve solved the national debt.
Future GOP Staffers of America…
…only don’t turn your back on the boss — he gets kind of handsy.😳
Now factor in how the GOP budget bill made it more difficult for people to qualify for social services, which are a vital lifeline in times of unemployment and economic uncertainty.
Let them suffer. Let every household feel the lash of their arrogance. When the grocery bills strangle, when the jobs evaporate, when the streets boil over, then the scales will fall from their eyes.
Are all those slobbering smiles photoshopped?
Be prepared because it is going to be a deep recession.
Looks like he is picking his next victim from a line up...and they smile...
I'll read anything that can successfully use the word "immiserate".
That's not the picture I'd choose for the piece.
Have always heard it takes a long time to change the direction of the US economy. Don't tell that to Donald Trump he took a solid economy and drove it into a ditch in 6 months.
I'm voting for any Democrat that says they'll rebuild our economy exclusively by taking or straight out of the hides of billionaires.
