U.S. consumer sentiment has dropped to its lowest point since 1952, with the Consumer Sentiment Index reaching a record low of 48.2 in May 2026. This decline reflects growing concerns over high prices and economic uncertainty. (Trading Economics)
Republicans are largely downplaying the impact of rising energy prices due to the conflict with Iran, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune suggesting that prices will return to prewar levels soon.

I know, I know that the world in which Trump lives is an imaginary, gold-plated palace surrounded by adoring peons, who cling to his every lie. But here in the real world, facts should matter, and as a matter of fact, most of we the people, not we the MAGA, are suffering the consequences of fools.
Maybe for those who supported Trump because he feigned belief in Christian Nationalism, or bathed royally in bigotry, loathes with great zest and zeal any person of color, or pledged an undying allegiance to White Superiority, the fact that even as they are suffering economically, the only thing that matters is that their Idol Trump hates exactly as they do…a kind of ‘EVERYMAN’ for them.
Oh yeah, and as consumer sentiment dropped to its lowest point, for Trump and his billionaire enablers, the priorities of this Reich include building a stadium for an MMA fight on the White House lawn…building a billion-dollar ballroom…building golden arches, redesigning the Reflecting pool…applauding as Trump flies off to his myriad of private golf courses…and all of the side deals the Trump Crime Family has grifted.
