Question. If employers are forced to return to office, why can’t we collectively not agree that a president should only be able to spend “x” number of days on vacation/out of office?

Aren’t you the one saying we should have a say where our money is spent? Shouldn’t be be allowed to tell our elected officials that if they aren’t actively working (especially at a time where we are having historic drops in the stock market and our economy is in a very clear nose-dive) to fix the country, then they should be penalized?

That's great. You'll have a say in 2028.

Besides, by June of 2025 you can scratch "the economy" off of your complaint list (if not sooner).

Its called "Secret Service Protection". Its no different than all of the previous Presidents and their time away from the White House.

He’s got a warship stationed outside his resort. He travels there every single weekend. Yes, it’s no different but the frequency is far and away more than any other president.

And when we’re in a full blown recession, would you admit that it’s all been a massive mistake?

Do you have a link?

By the way, there's a "warship stationed outside his resort" every single time a sitting President travels.

What would you like a link for this time?

And how many have had one stationed there for months?

What type of numbers are you expecting by June of 2025?

By June, the United States will have re-shored all manufacturing back the United States, and everyone will be working again in factories, with full employment, and good paying jobs for all.

Or so Trump and his barking seals would have you believe.

They conveniently forget 3 realities:

1. It can take up to 5 years - and can cost billions of dollars - to construct a new automotive manufacturing plant. Even if the plan is to simply retool a previously shuttered plant that's currently lying idle, that is still at least a year away, and will cost millions. It's not going to happen "by June".

2. Even if you could re-shore all manufacturing by June, and start making everything in the U.S. again, unless you're paying American workers the same wage as manufacturing jobs pay in Vietnam or Cambodia or China, those products are going to cost more to make. This will push prices up, making everything more expensive. (Remember - Trump campaigned on bringing prices down, not pouring gasoline on inflation.)

3. This is assuming you could even find workers for those reshored manufacturing jobs. As recently as December, the United States was at 4.1 percent unemployment - a level economists typically consider 'full employment'. In short, there aren't hoards of unemployed Americans wandering aimlessly through the streets looking for work. Well, not yet anyway. Maybe by June though.

In the meantime, peoples' life savings are being torched at the same time as prices are about to soar. For example, in the next few weeks for example, the price of a new automobile is expected to rise by 25 percent.

What typically happens when prices start rising (ie. inflation)? Interest rates go up.

So, Trump and his amateur army of barking seals who want to 'play government', will have accomplished the following impressive list, in just a few short weeks:

- Destroyed Americans' life savings
- Unleashed out-of-control inflation
- Forced the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, making it more expensive to borrow money for a new car or home
- Caused a recession that leads to unemployment
- Closed U.S. export markets to American exporters by bringing on retaliatory tariffs
- Undermined America's global network of alliances, thus jeopardizing American national security
- Squandered any international goodwill the U.S. had by revealing itself to be a bad actor that cannot be relied upon

And this is just the first 100 days, people.
