This is poetic justice for those who ignored the terrible reputation and proven nefarious history of the grifter they supported. If any one deserves to pay the price they indeed do.
When someone shows you who they are...believe them!
Ahhh, you're not getting enough freebies. Poor thing.

Who are those people who have been helped by Trump?
Yes my 401 k is doing great but at what cost?

Your post stuck me as funny. He's not thieving from corporate ... that for sure, everyone else though has to pick up the slack ...
The title of the thread "Trump has given corporations and Wall Street everything they’ve wanted and nothing has trickled down to his supporters"
Much of the middle class help put him in office, yes? This is what they have won ...
"Workers at some of the biggest corporations in the world are paying higher tax rates than their employers, according to a new study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
The Republican-passed tax cuts signed by President Trump in 2017 permanently lowered the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent but many companies are paying nowhere near that figure. The study identified 379 Fortune 500 companies that turned a profit in 2019 and found that the companies paid an average tax rate of 11.3 percent."
I don't think people are paying attention .. seriously I don't.

Maybe you have yet to realize this, but the middle class, as well as, republicans --- have needed assistance too, you know.
It ceases to be a freebie when the person needing it realizes they have already paid for it, then it becomes, the government stole it and they won't give it back when I need it.
"The report, titled Meet the low-wage workforce, demonstrates that these workers are not monolithic, segmenting the nation’s low-wage workers into nine groups based on age, educational attainment, and school enrollment." [my bold]
"Low-wage workers in particular are falling behind because the federal minimum wage has not been raised in 10 years, remaining stuck at $7.25 per hour since 2009."
Nobody ever said they were monolithic and nobody is disputing the federal minimum wage has not been raised in 10 years.
Get back to me when you have something directly on point.
In the OP's defense it's hard to see what's going on in the real world from those tiny windows in Mom's basement.
I've sometimes wondered if the OP had an acrimonious end to a relationship with a boyfriend or husband who turned out in the end to be a lot like Trump .
Both parties serve their corporate and banking masters.
There is no pro labor party.
This is a major reason I don't once again expect to vote for either party for president. My vote will go to the Libertarian candidate largely to protest against the Democrat and Republican not being worthy of my vote.
Trump was elected by people who believed his claim that he was their last hope. As he said, "Only I can fix it." And now, the whole country is in a fix.
If Warren or other Dem becomes president, count on the stock market to drop and everyone's retirement accounts to plummet!!!
I guess you would rather not remember what happened to the stock market toward the end of Bush's 2nd term.
