American Politics from 2019 on

At 3:40 AM Trump posted about the "highly partisan appeal court." Hmm. Does not sound like him. No simple words like crooked. He must be dead!

No one has seen him in three days. All events have been cancelled, JD Vance has cancelled his 32nd vacation of the summer, and the he flags at the White House are at half mast. Could this be it? I mean, dont get me wrong, it won’t make anything better, but it’d be nice to know he’s gone.

Interesting timing for Vance’s interview with USA Today. What job has he been training for, travel writer? He’s been on vacation 8 times in 7 months.
“Yes, terrible tragedies happen,” he said. “And if, God forbid, there’s a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve gotten over the last 200 days.”
Vice President JD Vance said he’s prepared to run the country if “God forbid” something “terrible” were to happen to President Trump

Timeline:
Wednesday the 27th at 12:30, Trump has a meeting with JD Vance, directly after his press conference.
After the meeting, all plans for Trump were canceled, including a very import trade meeting with Japanese leaders who were already in town.
JD Vance posts later that same day that Trump's health was excellent, but if anything "should" happen, he is ready for the job with 200 days of training under his belt.

FAKE TRUMP TWEET AT 4:30 AM TO PROTEST COURTS AND TARIFFS

Young men are blaming Democrats for Trump bleeding them dry

Part of this, she notes, is cyclical: Men tend to work in industries more sensitive to downturns, such as construction and manufacturing, while women are more concentrated in sectors that are less vulnerable, like health care and education.

But that’s where the irony kicks in. Manufacturing and construction are also the industries arguably most affected by President Donald Trump’s tariffs. An analysis by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth found that of the top 25 subsectors of the U.S. economy most harmed by tariffs, a shocking 19 were in manufacturing.

And that’s not all. Repair and maintenance came in at No. 14, construction at No. 20, waste management at No. 21, and energy-extraction industries—i.e., mining and drilling—rounded out the list at No. 23 through No. 25. These are all overwhelmingly male-dominated industries. And as Schrager points out, the first to be laid off in those industries are the young ones.

You can see the vicious cycle. Trump’s policies directly damage the industries that employ young men, but when layoffs come, the right blames women, immigrants, and “wokeness” rather than the real culprit—the right itself. And thanks to the echo chamber of online influencers and algorithms, too many of those young men believe it.

Republicans break their jobs, then harvest their anger—while Democrats get the blame.
