Please please take an intro to stats course or learn basic critical thinking. Your PERSONAL and ANECDOTAL experience does not at all characterize a president’s performance during their term by any means means

My life is literally the exact same under Trump as it was under Biden. If you say Trump is bad president then you are saying Biden is horrible too

I’d argue my life is better under Pres. Trump, I bought my first house this last year, my tax refund is better than ever before, gas is falling. I’m very thankful for what has changed and I’m looking forward to the rest

My life is better now than it was under Biden, that doesn’t mean Trump is the reason or not the reason for that

When you’re referring to your tax refund, are you talking about the one you received in 2025?

Ah. I mean I guess it looks significantly better because it’s probably a couple hundred more than before, but when you look at it as an increase in after-tax income, isn’t it probably like a 1% increase? Depending on your income level

My current household income is 6 figure so it’s a little bit bigger than 1%

That’s great, there’s no way for you to truly know at this point whether you can attribute that to the president or not

Ok fair, I should’ve clarified. You’re above the median. The 4th quintile (60-80%) starts below 100k. The 5th/top quintile starts between 135 and 155k. Estimates of after-tax increases for those groups is between 1.5% and 3% IIRC
