Americans (or many of them) are nostalgic about the 1950s, where the economy was booming and wages were high.

The loss of that in the recent decades has triggered the 5 stages of grief.

  • denial
  • anger
  • bargaining
  • depression
  • acceptance

America is currently in the second stage, anger, and that’s what causes Trump’s fury.

    Bargaining should be replaced with hopium/copium.

    Every other day there’s an article about how his ratings have plummeted but they never seem to go below 47%.

    Then there’s everyone reading leopardsatemyface and feeling good thinking that Magats are waking up.

      Yeah but OP’s post is about the U.S. economy and your post is about Trump.

      Even though I agree with you completely.
