With ALT text, this time!

The graph shows that while in the 1990s, only 40-50% of American survey respondents saw foreign trade as an opportunity for economic growth, this percentage has grown considerably under both Trump administrations. In 2025, 81% of American respondents see foreign trade as an economic growth, a record high; while only 14% see it as a threat to the economy. The survey data is from Gallup.

The housing theory of everything strikes again: www.thecut.com/article/elec...

People who believe they’re being supportive say, “Leave your relationship. Divorce him.” But that is not helpful. I totally get why some people feel it is a massive deal-breaker. However, not everybody can instantly leave a relationship. If I could have moved in with my mom, I would have, but my mom lives in a tiny home. My dad is even more of a hard-core Trump supporter, so I never wanna live with him. Every time I see a comment like that, my stomach gets a knot. If I could leave him, I would. But you need two workers to raise a family. I am in this. I have the option to stay and try to change his mind, or I can leave and potentially be homeless with my children. So I’m gonna stick it out and try to get him to come around. - Jessica, 35, Texas, common-law married for five years
