Don Bacon: "From my vantage point here in Nebraska, we're seeing a bit of a troubled economic mess. Right now it's a troubled time. In Nebraska the GDP has decreased by 6% over the last year and it's all about trade...so what I hear about weak jobs numbers, we're seeing that in Nebraska right now"

And it will get worse

The corn sellers can no longer depend on a market for corn syrup.
-
OMG! An honest republican! Will wonders never cease?
-
Trump shot the messenger and covered up a symptom, but the disease goes merrily onward.
-
Don't expect Nebraska to turn on the Republicans who're responsible for this decline in GDP.
-
STFU Don Bacon you voted for Trump’s big disastrous bill.
-
You caused it Bacon, you dumbass.
-
This is why Trump doesn’t like the facts & the data coming out. He fires the truth tellers & hires the truth killers. His idiotic tariffs are causing weak job numbers & lower GDP.
-
Imagine that🤷♀️
-
How long can Tr*** tell the cult that the economy is great, tariffs are great, jobs are great, before they smell a rat?
I mean, now gullible and easily manipulated are they when push comes to shove?
-
I personally am heartbroken. Nebraska doesn't deserve this misfortune. Oh wait - yes, they do.
-
No doubt we will have to look at state numbers and extrapolate from corporate reports and other sources because the current regime will only be reporting its "alternate facts".
-
Just give it some time. The RED states are going to find out what a circular screw job feels like. The BLUE states are already preparing for it. Grab your popcorn.
-
He knew what he was voting for, so this is what he wants.
-
-
Here’s an easy one to remember Don… For every GOP action, there is an opposite and equal GDP reaction.
-
Awe muffin. Not enjoying the find out stage? Empty thoughts and prayers!🖕
-
The USA has a MAGA Weak Economic Outlook now, thanks to Trump's Tariffs of Terminal Stupidity!
-
He is so terrified that this will get back to Trump his voice is shaking
-
And would they vote for Trump all over again? You bet!
-
No shit dumbass. I used to look at job listings six months ago and there were thousands. Now there's 10s. Thanks for your part in destroying a thriving economy!
-
🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆
-
So Don is confirming
That PedoFelonRapist Is NOT Bringing home the bacon
-
Duh
-
Wow, a Republican who is actually telling the truth, yet he is a member of Congress who just voted to make the problem even worse!
-
At least they still have rural healthcare, oh wait...
-
Trump is destroying the country to help Putin. When the fuck are you people going to wake up he does nothing when Putin bombs Ukraine. He just talks people need to hold his feet to the fire but everybody is scared to death. Don’t forget about the Epstein files you people are hard to stay focused.
-
Greg Abbott is hiding pedophiles in Texas for Trump

#EverythingtrumpTouchesDies
-
YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTED FOR LOSERS...
-
Wasn’t dtrumpf and his companies convicted on 34 felonies for lying about the size of his property
inflating the size for insurance and loans and deflating the size for tax purpose
Lies about the size of crowds, his golf score, his weight
dtrumpf continues to have issues with data and statistics
-
Says the guy who VOTED for this.
-
Congress can take back tariff authority anytime.
-
Hey Don, perhaps you could do something and ensure Trump stops having a majority, like tell your Republican pals in Texas to knock it the hell off!
-
And so the truth will start rolling out.
-
But keep voting for the party not your district or your country.
-
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
-
All about consolidating wealth for the oligarchs. The Republican Criminal Organization (RCO) is bankrupting as many people as possible so that they have to sell their farms, homes and businesses which will be bought up by venture capitalists and hedge funds. We will become a class of renters.
-
Sucks. Do you want fries with that, Congressman Bacon?
-
But yet, he votes in line with the GOP. Just like the rest of our NE delegates.
-
farmers in Nebraska parade, psycho Donnie, right into office. farmers are gonna scream for aid from uncle Donnie!
Mega supporters and red states just don’t understand psycho Donnie doesn’t give a rats ass about you ! 400 million dollar 747 renovation+ for a piece of junk.Midterms how you voting? -
-
Of course!
-
WSJ today
-
Well that’s a shame moron. Nebraskan’s deserve what they voted for! Yee haw!!
-
Everything's fine. Just fine...
-
Don Bacon needs to sit down and ride out his time in the House. He proudly endorsed Trump three times. He consistently says one thing, and votes another.
-
But you vote for his terrible policies regardless!
-
So then Nebraska needs new representation in Congress, right?!
-
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a nomination for “post of the night “ !!! Bravo, I salute you sir 🫡🫡🫡👏🏻👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿👏🏽👍🏾 ( Economic reality/ Real 💩+ could someone explain to taco 🌮, you can not fire reality… categories)
-
Eugene Ionesco said: Ideologies separate us , dreams and anguish bring us together. he was talking about facism. Sounds right to me
-
But the numbers will improve as soon as Dear Leader has a new acolyte in place to post numbers to his liking. No need to show the data. Just operate like you're a SC Justice working the shadow docket. Give the desired results with no worry about how you arrived at them, no explanations required.
-
From my vantage point is Donald Trump is not all over the Epstein files and bankrupted his casinos, settlements of 25 million dollars from Trump University, 34 felony counts of fraud and much more and has no idea how to run a successful country.
-
The dumbass is just now figuring out that boot licking trump doesn’t do a damn thing but screw his own constituents? Elections do have consequences. Thoughts and prayers will fix it though, right?
-
Is he willing to face jeering and booing voters in Nebraska like Rep Flood DoD yesterday?
-
Canary in a coal mine moment.
-
So vote against the MOFO. GOP rolls out the red carpet for his fuc*ery & pretend it’s shocking when everything is a mess. It’s THEIR fault!! 🙄
-
Awe you are getting what you voted for 😂.
-
Idiots.
-
Really? Well, who'd a thunk it? A bunch of dumb mother fucking republicans 🤦♀️
-
Congratulations on getting what you and your state wanted in the 2024 election.
The “winning” will continue.
-
Golly gee whiz…if only Don Bacon and other elected officials from Nebraska could do something. 🤔
-
Nebraska's a red state right. Well sucks to be you clowns huh?
-
Trump is going to find out that lying about the economy isn’t going to fit with the facts of daily living. The cult will self destruct.
-
Oh, Repub disagreed w Dumpy?
-
Don Bacon is a Republican and 60% of Nebraskans voted for trump
trump is doing what he said he would do, so they are getting what they voted for and should STFU 🤬
He no one to blame
-
Vote blue and stop the insanity bacon
-
Great job Nebraska MAGAts
-
Hang on Nebraska, it’s going to get worse.
-
Where’s the part of the clip where he probably says “but hey I’ll vote for whatever Trump tells me to. I trust he knows what he’s doing even though my state is suffering”. ???? Idiots. All of them.
-
-
Guess that’s what happens when you vote for an imbecile. Trump’s senseless trade wars are bankrupting America.
-
Now that economic numbers will be manipulated to falsely reflect inflation rates, Social Security recipients will be screwed out of necessary cost of living adjustments. Those of us who paid into the system and now depend on those monthly checks will be a little poorer.
Theft.
-
WTF This occurred June 27,2025 Four big tech executives the Army directly commissioned to be lieutenant colonels, with no military background, will not recuse themselves from business dealings with the Department of Defense -- as the Pentagon, particularly the Army, cozies up to Silicon Valley.
-
Well Don, you can try to sell your beef and pork to Australia who will never order it, soybeans to China who stopped buying them and never will buy them again, and the corn for high fructose corn syrup until RFK bans it in exchange for imported cane sugar which the USA cannot produce enough of.
-
Don, I'm just spitballin', but what if Congress did its job and clawed back setting tariffs?
-
They aren’t too concerned because that sweet, socialist, bail-out money should be coming soon!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
-
During the 2008-2009 great recession, US GDP fell 4.2% to give context on what 6% means.
-
But voted for BBBill anyway? Screws Nebraska again!
-
Mmmmmm
-
“So what I hear about weak jobs numbers”
Sounds like he just needs to fire whomever he is hearing that from🤷🏼♂️
-
Oh, is there a problem? Really?
-
He's so worried about it he voted for it. Fuck this guy.
-
-
Does he take any responsibility in that? Doubt it.
-
…a bit?
-
Time to fire some statisticians at the state level now!
-
Sherpiegate IV - BLS. Why trust the experts? Why trust math? bsky.app/profile/opsa...
-
He lost his eggs long ago and now he is wondering where his breakfast went wrong ?
-
They’re not alone.
-
Get prepared to see even more of this
-
Too damn bad Joe, troubled times they are coming everywhere
-
You're getting what you voted for, patsy.
-
Hey Nebraska .... how's that Trump vote feelin' now????
-
Good. They voted for it. And it’s gonna get a LOT worse.
-
Trump is gonna wanna fire this guy too
-
-
-
FAKE NEWS!
-
Well, that’s what you voted for…duh.
-
Bend over and grab those bootstraps. Bend over real far.
-
The shit hits the fan on Labor Day, unironically. The inventories that were stocked will be mostly gone and the tariffs that were stalled/held by importers will be passed onto the consumers en masse. It will ultimately result in a global economic crisis and probable Depression worldwide. #ItsALock
-
Awww!
-
Make your MAGA man understand he is putting our economy into a tailspin and the low job numbers are true!!
-
what i don't understand is how it's possible for that guy not to be chomping down on a cigar.
-
Cool story Don Bacon. Stop going along with the authoritarian playbook.
-
Trump's Tariffs have added $15 billion to the costs of Copper, Copper Pipe, Copper wire
everything will cost more under Trump
$15 billion added on to just Copper everything will go up up up in pr ice
under this maniac
-
Do Republicans only care about cost when Democrats are in charge? The price for everything is more expensive under Trump. Do they fear immigrants more than going broke? Empty shelves are just waiting. Vegetables are laying in fields turning into mush. Just a matter of time....
-
A master of understatement.
-
Interesting that some republicans now seem not so fearful of tsf and are willing to speak an occasional truth in public.
-
Not sure how he can see anything with his head up trumps ass
-
Gee, a Republican seeing the effect of 40+years of conservative economic policy. Shocking! I have an idea: let’s deregulate everything, gut the FTC, declaw the SEC, and move the country into an authoritarian dictatorship. Everything will be better than.
-
Im curious if he would say this on Fox.
Voters aren’t going to change if they’re fed propaganda.
-
"Sorta seeing that right now in Nebraska..." These guys can't even come out & say that Trumps trade & immigration policies are crashing a once booming American economy.
-
I hope him and all his voters get completely fucked
-
By the guy in charge is a stable genius. Just ask him!
-
NE02 is a district Harris won - Bacon is retiring. Help @activateamerica.bsky.social write postcards to the district to mobilize voters and flip this seat!
-
TRUTH from a Republican??? in Nebraska? REPOST!
-
You can easily fix the jobs numbers by just deporting the unemployed.
It's just as easy as fixing the Covid numbers by reducing testing.
Duh.
-
Nebraska and Iowa have bad job numbers. If this keeps up, there is an outside chance that republicans lose those seats.
-
-
-
Might Don Bacon vote for impeachment if there were other Republicans whose districts are suffering just like his is, especially because he already decided he's leaving? Do enough Republicans have a line past which they will stand up for their districts and their Article I powers?
-
He’d better be careful with that kind of truth telling
-
So maybe do something about it, Don…
-
Of course, the old fart is on CNN. Go on FN or Newsmax and say this. Instead, he goes to a network whose viewers already know the damage being caused this administration. It’s almost robotic how they follow the script.
-
Womp womp womp
-
War is over If you want it
-
Saw the writing on the wall and knew he wasn't going to be able to lie about this economy and try to sell it to his constituents.
-
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
We’re going to see each state’s independent economic numbers crater while the federal number rises.
-
Duh ya think!
-
WE ARE FUCKED!!
-
60% of Nebraska voters wanted to see the economy shrink by 6% in a single quarter.
-
I'm so happy they got what they voted for, congratulations, Nebraska! 🥳🥳🥳
-
So what are you going to do about it Don?? Trump won't let you make any policies, are you going to push back?
-
Mr. Bacon, be careful, since telling the truth will ruffle Trumps feathers.
-
Don Bacon needs to keep speaking out. The problems with the economy are the truth, and it’s going to get worse as the tariffs kick in.
-
And Nebraska voted for which Presidential candidate?
-
Hope Trump gets 10000% credit for economic hardship .what would he do if he worked for a living.
-
Thanks Obama.
-
And I still voted for Trump every time he told me to!!!!
-
Over the last year is BS… over the last six months.
-
Follow Donald Trump all the way to the poorhouse.
-
-
Bravery , a Republican speaking bad numbers 😳
-
Keep voting Republican, sry not sry
-
Excuse me for not giving a f$&k for Nebraskas plummeting economy - #FAFO
-
They just need to hire one of the 🍊🍕💩’s numbers guy, and they’ll be fine 🙄FAFO they got what they voted for.
-
Who cares? One single borough (Queens) in NYC has 300,000 more people than his entire state, but we each get 2 Senators. All of these empty states should not be calling shots for a country of 350 million ppl, most of whom live in cities far from these places.
-
He doesn’t have the balls to complain to his boss directly
-
Don't worry Nebraska, there won't be any more accurate jobs numbers coming out. So no job numbers means that everyone is working. You're economy and GDP will skyrocket. That's how it works in dementia man land, if you just ignore the truth, everything is great.
-
"It's almost like there are consequences for our actions. "
-
So when does he go on FNC/OANN/Newsmax with this?
-
Things will be much better when Nebraska's population is 0.
-
If only he had the balls to do something about it.
-
Trumpty Dumpty's stupid tariffs have decreased Nebraska's GDP by SIX PERCENT... SIX. Because of one man's idiocy.
-
Well--duh. Those economic numbers weren't "cooked books," they were real data showing what is going on. Let Trump pretend this is all lies--but the real-world consequences cannot be hidden. Now, most GOPers won't speak up like Bacon. But he isn't running for re-election, so....
-
file this under, NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!! We told you this would happen. Trump regime is cooking books. Trump did this with his companies. He was found guilty on 34 counts for FRAUD!!!! WTF do people have to do to wake up to this asshole?!! It enrages me to no end.
-
I hear your president likes gold…
-
Never trust anyone who cheats at golf 🤷🏻
-
Grow a pair and stand up to the president, or keeping licking the boot and watch your constituents suffer. Sadly, I know which he'll choose.
-
Trump won 4 out of 5 electoral votes in Nebraska. So tell me how this is affecting his support there. I'm not holding my breath.
-
Don ‘Daffy Dick’ Bacon voted for Trump. You’re getting what you voted for Dipshit. What’s your problem, yokel.
-
We are letting Trump drive us off a cliff for his rich buddies… 🥴
-
Trump.
-
Quit voting for Republicans.
-
let them eat corn!
-
When will Republicans wake up to the GOP fraud?
-
You get what you vote for, sadly so do the people who trust you!
-
#TrumpFailed #TrumpIsDumb #FuckingMorons #Fight
-
Just the beginning
-
Trump fired everyone and expects job growth? Duh
-
Exactly what did you expect??!!!
-
Nobody who has authority cares. Suffering is built into their plan. The Trump Crime Syndicate & fawning Oligarch-wannabes in the GOP believe we are not human. We have no personhood, no rights. We are contemptible, expendable. THIS is the legacy we are leaving for our children, unless we kick ass.
-
But, but, but...Nebraska/ YOU voted for this!
-
-
Don Bacon just woke up and is now realizing what his participation in giving Trump carte Blanch is doing to our country. I'm sure that's why he's leaving Congress at the end of his term.
-
So blame trumpie
-
-
it's too bad that the rare GOP rep willing to state facts straight up is not running for reelection
-
Bacon about to get served with expensive inflation eggs and toast. 🥓🍳🍞
-
CNN’s answer will be to have republican apologists and liars nonstop pushing Trump’s policies.
-
You can’t hide the truth! We all see and feel it!
-
He could end this today if he wanted to.
-
Yes, it’s called reality. You can thank the orange moron.
-
How long before he announces his retirement?
-
Tip of the iceberg, folks. Get ready for a rough ride.
-
We fucking told you so
-
Didn’t Nebraska vote for this Nazi shit?
-
And the people of Nebraska LOVE IT. They want more of it.
They want more foreigners to stop buying their corn and soy beans. They didn't want to sell to those people anyway.
They want more of their agricultural workers to leave the state. Good riddance!
They want their rural hospitals to close.
-
Oh well….
-
-
A member of the Republican Party, which voted for Trump, shares how his constituents are screwed by policies without mentioning Trump, the GOP or his voting record causing it.
-
Well Mr Bacon are you out of the cult, or still in it and constituents be damned?
-
More signs of the impending Trump recession.
-
“A bit of a mess”
That’s right up there with “sort of pregnant”
