Americans are struggling financially, grappling with debt and the rising cost of living, and are blaming the Trump administration and corporate interests for worsening economic outlooks for working families, according to a new poll.

Six out of 10 Americans place blame on the Trump administration for driving up their cost of living, according to a poll conducted by Morning Consult for the Century Foundation, which asked 2,007 Americans how they are managing the high cost of living in the US economy, who they think is to blame and what are the solutions.

Sixty three per cent said Trump had had a negative impact on grocery prices, and 61% said he had had a negative impact on the cost of living. Nearly half, 49%, said the Trump administration had had a negative impact on their finances. Nearly eight out of 10 Americans, including 70% of Republicans, fear that Trump’s tariffs will increase the price of everyday goods.

That percent gets their information from propaganda networks and those networks are subsidized by russia. Without that malignant influence they'd collapse very rapidly. Yet liberal democracies cant seem to find the political will to shut those networks down. It's weird how US oligarchs and Russia oligarchs have a lot of overlapping goals. I still dont understand why they hate lgbtq+2sp

Hatred is a strong emotion, and it keeps the rabble fixated and obsessed on non issues with easy “wins.” It’s not really that they even care about queer people, it’s that they know stupid people enjoy having a group they have permission to abuse.

I don't know why they hate anyone with a wallet, why discriminate, money is money, you'd think they'd be kind to people being so fortunate and having anything they want but that's not the case, so the clearly have deep mental issues. Why does it seem like the richer people get the more and more they want? It's a sickness, these people are sick in the head. I would go so far as to say they are barely human anymore. They should be exiled for the good of humanity.
