Yes the country is united except for the majority of counties that turned red and voted for him and will likely continue to be red for midterms and into the next election.

The website and organization of the protests by city as well as advertiseing were funded by christy Walton, heir to the Walmart empire. Why? Well ask yourself where Walmart gets their merchandise. Soros also gave 2.1B through NGOs, he is also against Trump due to the doge spending and current investigations into him embezzling taxpayer money through these NGOs.

under Trump, inflation has cooled to around 2% and is continuing to drop, real wages are rising, and job growth especially for native-born workers(majorly important) has steadily improved. The doge reforms are trimming bloated bureaucracy and redirecting resources to frontline services like wildfire response and the rehired CDC team. The FDA wasn’t eliminated, its roles are being restructured for speed and efficiency, especially in drug approvals. The government needed change and change arrived

Executive orders are standard. Trump’s are legally challenged like any president’s this isn’t new or illegal, it’s part of checks and balances. Court order disputes don’t equal defiance. Legal processes are active, and rulings are being reviewed, not blatantly ignored or disobeyed. His environmental policy changes focus on energy and job growth. rollback ≠ regression.

Claims of corruption and racism are widely repeated but never proven in court. You refuse to acknowledge the dog and pony show that has been ran on Trump since the beginning. Years of unbearable scrutiny has produced no criminal conviction. The economy is rebounding: inflation is down, wages up, native-born job growth strong. That benefits working Americans directly and that’s what most Americans care about.

At least with the executive orders the next time a blue president rolls in there they can just be repealed easily with no problems. Not to mention most of his environmental rollback is regulations that never should’ve been implemented in the first place (take NEPA reform, wood stove emissions, redundant methane rules etc) some of it is bad tho.

Real wages is the amount of purchasing power your wage has. So not just like raising minimum wage by $2 but how much you can do with your wage based on economic conditions. As for doge it was not legally questionable and as an executive department they were legally allowed to nuke USAID(another executive department) and I hope they continue to get rid of unnecessary aspects of bureaucracy.
