Probably not low enough.

https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/what-is-us-consumer-sentiment/

snip:
The latest consumer sentiment score is 44.8 — the lowest since the survey started in 1952. That means more people are saying they are struggling financially right now, or worry that they will be in the future, than they did during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Great Recession in 2008 and in the days following 9/11.

Let's party like it's 1952. Everything Chump touches dies.

"I don't think about Americans' financial situation."

Translation: I'm rich and getting more rich by the second, thanks to the American taxpayers. I really don't give a shit what they say. 😁

He wants your vote. It’s actually just the latest “he wants” demand (or expectation on his part).

As far as he sees anything, it all comes down to whatever it is that he wants.

America should feel perfectly okay IGNORING what he wants. What’s MUCH more important is what WE want - for OUR loved ones, OUR communities, and OUR FUTURE.
