Alright, you alright?
Looks like before the crumbling environment takes us with it, the fascists are having a go so they can milk the cream out of this dying cow and enjoy the last drops before the flies start buzzing. Yet, whether you are pro tRump, or think he ushers in totalitarianism like an 80 IQ Hitler, this article will apply to you, although with a different implication.
During the 2024 election cycle the cult of tRump was fond of using their magical thinking to state Biden and the democrats raised inflation, let in a massive amount of immigrants, and did other actions which made it harder for US citizens to survive.
What I am going to do in this article is to create a baseline of data regarding some hot topics and two years from now we will compare the next administration and see where they measure up in the future compared to where we were in July of 2023. It might be harder to get accurate data in the future, but I will try my best.
Then, just for fun, we’ll compare a few current stats to some pre-covid tRump figures from 2019.
Prediction Categories:
Inflation
Unemployment
Immigration Numbers
Median Income
GDP
Violent Crime
Tax Rate
Hate Crimes
Off the cuff, I will predict all these figures will increase, except immigration numbers. The GDP and Median Income will decrease. All the noise about improving the economy were just empty words used to help tRump and the Republicans win. As soon as they gain control, the rich will grab a higher percentage of profits while they throw their followers under the bus. This will feed the fires of their indignation and lead to a big jump in violence.
Just for some preemptive perspective I will now compare the stats of my categories near the end of the last two administrations. Again, I use pre-covid stats to keep it fair so let us review how 2019 compared to 2023.
Note: When possible, I will be taking the stats from July in each of the respective years.

2019 2023
Inflation 1.7 3.2
Unemployment 3.7 3.5
Immigration 2893 2748
Illegal Im. 50,000 120,000
Median Income 31,133 37,585
GDP 21,521.4 27,356.4
Violent Crime 19 per 100,000 22 per 100,000 (2022)
Tax Rate 40.8 40.8
Hate Crimes 8,812 13,857
These are some interesting stats to look at. Obviously, Biden was not knocking it out of the White House parking lot here. Some surprises were more legal immigrants during tRump. Some bad news for Democrats would be the increase in Violent and Hate Crimes, perhaps some people were more inclined to commit crimes when their leader is not in office, but this is just armchair conjecture. Looking over some of the statistics sites I realized there could be some delay so if I want data from July of 2026 I might have to wait a few months or even a year, This means I cannot guarantee when the second half of this article will come out but hopefully you can still afford your WIFI by then.
