Closing the border: B. Sure he's done excellent for stopping the flow of illegals but what bout the wall? It needs to be COMPLETED during his term which will at least be a permanent obstacle.

Deporting illegals: he's done more than any other president I've seen in my lifetime, but it's not enough. He needs to raise those deportation numbers up at least an order of magnitude to deport anywhere near 10 million illegals.

Draining the swamp: D. He seems to have all the right people in place but nothing is happening.

Economy: B ( A on the tarrifs, D on cutting the debt, B on everything else)

Foreign Policy, mideast: A
Foreign policy, Ukraine/Russia: B

Nasa: D for dumbass - letting Jarred Issaccman go and slashing Nasa's budget.

Ending Joe Biden's reign of terror: A+

I won't be paying much attention to this on July 20th. That's Moon Landing Day!

---

I've always considered the wall an expensive boondoggle. While it may impart partial discouragement, it isn't going to really stop much in the long run and will be a maintenance problem for a long time.

By far the best and cheapest way to solve the problem is to remove all the incentives for crossing illegally and imparting real consequences for doing so. Trump is doing a great job on that. We won't need a wall if nobody wants to risk crossing the border.

---

Wow.... This is your idea after seeing what Biden did the last 4 years? The next Marxist in office will open the floodgates again and make sure there are incentives to bring in as many illegals as possible.

I gave a B+ primarily because they didn't address the spending in the BBB as aggressively as I had hoped for . That prevented me from A or A-. As opposed to previous presidents terms, about the only one I'd rate higher 6 mos in would probably be either term of Reagan.


Biden's 4 yrs. Absolutely F- . Worst ever imo although maybe not any more negatively impactful than the trajectory Obama put us on in his 8 yrs. Biden didn't even go to class.

LBJ also an F-.

This is hilarious. You obviously don't know how CPI is calculated, but you are talking trash. It's based on an index. Each month, they calculate YoY and MoM inflation. YoY is NOT the rate of inflation that month relative to the rate that month the year before, which is what Capt T Wrong posted. It's the difference in the index for that month and the same month in the previous year divided by the index from the year before as a percentage.

The YoY rate went up relative to April YoY rate. That is the correct comparison.

I hope he is smart enough to not shock the market like he did in March/Apr and make it seem like everything is crashing. He can still have his tariffs but do it in slow increments so the market is not spooked. He was an idiot the last time and almost ruined us all.

hehe just kidding

Considering the roadblocks set up by the Democrats, liberals, the MSM, and radical left wing judges, he has done a remarkable job getting the agenda that got him elected put in place.

For four years, Biden and the Democrats conducted a remarkable job of attacking and dismantling this country.

From open borders, supporting our enemies, a very weak foreign policy, and a domestic agenda that put a precedent in Social engineering of weakening our military, supporting reverse discrimination in the form of DEI, and encouraging child mutilation and sexual deviancy.

You obviously just don't understand what the term "year over year" means. Let me help you out:

Quote:

---

"Year-over-year" (YOY) refers to a method of comparing data from one period (e.g., a month, quarter, or year) to the same period in the previous year. This comparison helps assess performance trends by removing seasonal fluctuations and focusing on annual changes. It's a common metric in finance and business to evaluate growth, profitability, and other key performance indicators (KPIs).

Access the BLS and educate yourself. YoY inflation went up!

"CPI YoY, or Consumer Price Index Year-over-Year, refers to the percentage change in the average price of a basket of consumer goods and services over a 12-month period, serving as a key indicator of inflation."



That metric went UP in May!!!!! You are comparing the YoY rate in May this year to the YoY rate in May of last year. That is wrong and quite frankly, stupid.

Trump will complete 6 months in office on 20 July.
When Trump won the election and before he took office, you likely had certain expectations from him. How has he done on them? Are you less enthusiastic or more, after 6 months. Is he better or worse from his first term?

My wish-list was:

1. Remove illegal immigrants.
I give him a B.
He started well with a lot of publicity and big statements from Homan but news has died down. They may be working under the covers rather than to make the headlines.

2. Fix the H1B scam
Trump gets an F.
Nothing done on this front. Indian companies have been cheating the system for decades and everyone looks the other way because the rich guys make money and the middle/poor class are brainwashed/stupid. Musk said he will go go war on H1B. I want the H1B program to be complete canceled and a new one brought in place which does what it was intended to do (not bring in cheap labor).

3. Cut spending
Trump gets a D.
He started well with DOGE and daily updates but then has lost interest or realized he cannot do it. Musk, for all his wealth and success went about it in the most moronic way, impulsive and careless. Trump should have reined him in. His OBBB increases the debt. The only reason he does not get an F is because DOGE likely made some minor impact on spending.

4. Stock market
Trump gets a B.
He needs to realize that his off the cuff remarks can cause market volatility and people lose money. The swoon and recovery was not fun. Luckily I did not sell so I made it all back but it was nerve wracking. I am sure many people sold at lows. The ideal situation is a steady rise in the market.

5. Economy
Trump gets a B.
I am with him on tariffs in that if a country tariffs us, we tariff them back. If they remove it, we remove it. I don't like how he did it with a lot of swagger and no thought at all. The crazy cowboy way.

6. Jobs
Trump gets a D
The job market for the upper tier is still bad. Qualified Americans find it hard to get jobs while companies outsource away without a care in the world. What good is it to be an American if your country sells you out? Trump hasn't spoken a word on this. It may be okay if the local job market was booming so sending some offshore does not cause an impact but that is not the case.

7. Foreign Policy
Trump gets a B.
Biden was known to be a pushover (when he was awake). Foreign countries know that Trump and the US is not to be messed with. China and Russia are still a problem but India and other countries seem to be working with the US. Smaller countries are also trying to find common ground rather than blatantly take advantage. He hasn't been able to help resolve the UKR-RUS war and he seems to be hankering for a Nobel Prize. Pakistan took advantage of Trump's vanity and recommended him for it hoping to get aid/arms to use against India.

OVERALL: C

These are the issues that come to mind, I will update it as I think of some more.


Thoughts?

I stopped at "I gave him a B"on illegal immigration.

---

If you "stopped", then why did you post?

---

That alone told me the whole post would be wrong. So I stopped reading.

See, you get shown actual numbers and you "lol" because you're too stubborn to admit that you actually don't know what you're talking about.

This is hilarious. You obviously don't know how CPI is calculated, but you are talking trash. It's based on an index. Each month, they calculate YoY and MoM inflation. YoY is NOT the rate of inflation that month relative to the rate that month the year before, which is what Capt T Wrong posted. It's the difference in the index for that month and the same month in the previous year divided by the index from the year before as a percentage.

The YoY rate went up relative to April YoY rate. That is the correct comparison.

---

What I posted is the annualized inflation rate year over year as published

https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_inflation_rate

Are you trying to make hay because the annualized rate went from 2.31% in April to 2.35% in May?

---

You are completely wrong. That's not the YoY. I explained it and you still don't understand.

---

You're not a serious poster that keeps posting fake news here

YoY inflation when up.in May!

YoY inflation went up in May!

Again....

YoY inflation went up in May.

It's a ****ing index. It went down!

YoY calculation went down!

I don't even know what your arguing anymore and don't think you know either. Get a financial dictionary

From Google

The Year-over-Year (YoY) inflation rate for the United States in May 2025 was 2.4%, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, an increase from 2.3% in April.

That isn't what you said. Read what you wrote again

That's exactly what I said. You don't understand how it's calculated. You learned. Only a full ****** would compare the YoY rate in May of this year to the YoY rate in May of last year. That is completely meaningless.
