Politics Ever considering that Donald Trump ended up being President previously this year, life has actually started to feel unsteady for a lot of Americans for a myriad of factors. (Can you think it’s practically been 90 days of this?)
If you desire to understand what he did simply recently, take a look at this post here.
How precisely has Trump’s presidency been impacting Americans so far? Well, ProffesorOfPain asked: “Americans, how do things really look in your day-to-day life after Trump’s presidency began?” therefore lots of people (like practically 20k) shared their ideas. Here are a few of the leading responses listed below. 1.
“I am a federal scientist for NOAA and — although we didn’t have high hopes to not getting fired — we just found out we’re getting dismantled completely, sooooo. Other jobs in science fields are getting scarcer by the minute, as well. It sucks!”

“Weekly status meetings now include the phrase: ‘This client’s plans are now on hold because of the tariffs’ quite a lot.”
— JMEEKER86
“My weekly meetings include a lot of ‘update on these regulations/deregulations and removal of departments we’re supposed to answer to.’ It’s very confusing how quickly everything keeps changing, snapping back, etc.”

“This one guy at work can’t retire now, so who knows how much longer I have to deal with his BS.”

“I work at a seaport, so longshoremen and truck drivers are definitely freaking out as their jobs are vaporizing. This is in Oakland. Virtually none (or maybe very few) of these people are open Trump supporters.”

“Aren’t those pretty vital jobs? Are they disappearing because of fewer trades due to tariffs?”

“Fewer trades -> fewer ships -> fewer people needed to unload ships.”

“A lot of my friends have been laid off. My wife lost her job. My bills are higher than ever. Groceries cost more. Literally, everything is more expensive.”

“More anxiety. People seem ruder and more stressed. Everything is more expensive; it’s awful, exhausting, and terrifying.”

“Also, people who need help and are trying to get in with a psychiatrist are on long waiting lists because everyone needs something to cope. I’m currently on three waiting lists…”

“Day to day? Fine — and I think that’s true for most people. And that’s the problem. Trump is doing real damage to our country, but the inertia is huge, and most of the problems he’s creating now won’t have serious consequences for months or years. So people are inclined to see all the complaints as Chicken Little talk. They don’t understand why we built all these systems the way we did. They don’t understand why our government powers were separated like they were. They don’t understand trade, supply chain, or international relations. They don’t understand any of it. They just know their day-to-day is fine, and Democrats are complaining about stuff, and they’re glad someone finally stood up against trans individuals and immigrants. People who have retirement savings saw it take a huge hit, but even there, it doesn’t impact your day-to-day… yet.”

“My kid came home from school and told me she has friends missing. We don’t know if they ran from ICE or were taken, but ICE is here, and people are going missing.”

“My father-in-law, a Vietnam vet who has worked religiously for his entire life, teared up because they are raising his taxes, his insurance, and increasing his pharmaceutical cost as well as the cost of living. He’s spent his entire retirement terrified they will take away the social security he paid so much into. My friend’s mom cried as she was explaining she would only live a week without her medication, and she’s having to give up living on her own due to the cost of living. I lost my job in a nonprofit and had to let a staff of 15 go. My family of nurses, doctors, and scientists have been let go due to funding. No one around me has not been affected in a negative way. We are all poor or barely breaking into the middle class.”
“So, I doubt anyone is losing in the stock market. But we lose daily with the higher cost of living and the unnecessary stress on the elderly. Then, we have to come to terms with what we will accept in our lives on a daily basis. While feeling helpless, knowing it’s up to our generation to fix the problems and not leave them to our children.”

“Watching the collapse of America in real-time is a nightmare. Everything I was told America stood for throughout my entire life is being thrown out the window in weeks, with zero fight from our elected representatives. DJT is throwing away the last 100 years of progress. He has destroyed the economy, jobs, leadership, science, education, social safety nets, civil rights, and human rights and is selling America’s resources and future to the highest bidder. He is a corrupt crime syndicate who is robbing the country blind. He wants to buy crypto with our gold reserves — that alone should tell you everything. Protests will increase in size. Eventually, he will use a stupid excuse of protests to declare Martial Law and suspend elections. He is a traitor to the Constitution, his office, and the American Dream.”

“My family has advised me to carry passports/birth certificates and SSNs in the instance someone questions citizenship. I am a graduate student, and I was due to apply for an NIH (National Institute of Health) grant but was unable to do so due to harsh attitudes towards DEI. » …
