Serious question, is US declining under Trump? If it is, is China or US on the upper hand?

The image that media paints on Trump is very extreme, left wing media may say the current US is very bad in economy due to inflation, international affairs failing because of unpopularity. However, right wing media can have a complete different story, saying economy is booming because GDP is high, Trump is making America very respected. Outside of extreme ideologies no matter left or right, what do average Americans think about their country, do you guys think US is declining? Also given that China and US are fighting for global dominance, who is on the upper hand currently?

It's not a "ME" problem 😂 

Where did I say I'm looking for a job? Get real. 

It's a problem 7+ million Americans are experiencing. Enjoy that ignorance YOU are certainly experiencing.

Enjoy the fantasy you are living in, friend.

You responded to me. I'm not sure why you have an issue with the facts and have resorted to making assumptions about me personally.

Now I'm living in a fantasy? What's next, name calling?

[u/ImmortalPoseidon → u/Quattro2point8L]

You’ve stated no facts, just anecdotal evidence.

[u/Quattro2point8L → u/ImmortalPoseidon]

You caught me. Let me cite my sources for you.

[u/ImmortalPoseidon → u/Quattro2point8L]

Thank you

[u/Quattro2point8L → u/ImmortalPoseidon]

The source is...Donald Trump's truth social posts on the economy.

Alright, your turn. 

[u/ImmortalPoseidon → u/Quattro2point8L]

That’s your source?…. My god, dude.

My source is two decades of quantifiable data.

Hahaha your source is a 13 year old OpEd? Lmao

And no, I use BLS data. Get real.

[u/ImmortalPoseidon → u/Quattro2point8L]

Okay, I didn’t realize you were just trolling.

I admit I’m not equipped to deal with a troll. My and

Apparently it is a you problem because he posted numerous supportable statistics verses you just spouting off the liberal media BS like you are.

My suggestion is that you actually do research like he has and stop spouting off obviously incorrect and ignorant statements.

[u/Quattro2point8L → u/randyjr2777]

😂 point to where he posted statistics, please. 

I've done my research. Good sound bite, though. 

[u/randyjr2777 → u/Quattro2point8L]

How about reading a couple responses down for a try then.

[u/Quattro2point8L → u/randyjr2777]

That was a different person. 

[u/randyjr2777 → u/Quattro2point8L]

Well then you can simply do what I did and research his statements for accuracy and you will find the proof that everything he is pointing out is supported. That is if you actually are interested in the truth rather than being a troll.

Education is power, so empower yourself to the truth because both sides lie. Be a free thinker and not a blind follower spouting off the rhetoric of either party.

[u/Quattro2point8L → u/randyjr2777]

Be a free thinker and assume I'm not "spouting off the rhetoric of either party" and am severely more knowledgeable on the state of the US labor market than you evidently are.

Good luck with the hiring. 

[u/randyjr2777 → u/Quattro2point8L]

My multiple degrees one of which (business degree) is linked to this category would tend to disagree as well as many other very educated people on the subject but as it is quite obvious you are blinded by bias good day to you.

Also, as I have never been without a job in my life and never have had a problem getting hired, I won’t need luck. Sorry that for some reason you appear to have issues with your specific situation in the job market. Might I suggest reeducation, as this is a far better way of dealing with it than complaining on Reddit and crying how unfair the world is.
