Pocket Watching: Trump's Economy

Four days into Trump's economy, and we've already seen TWO American establishments close. Using MAGA reasoning, every single thing that happens to the economy during Trump's term is DIRECTLY his fault. So here are two things to start us off:

Iowa Window Manufacturing Plant Cuts a WHOPPING 300 Jobs Under Trump

Jeld-Wen, a major manufacturer of windows and doors, announced it will be closing its doors to its Grinnell, Iowa plant. This closure is set to leave 300 Iowans without jobs by March according to CBS 8 Des Moines. The closure of this plant is surprising considering Trump's promises to bring back manufacturing jobs to revitalize American factories. Trump won 56% of the vote in Iowa.

Only Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Maine Closes Under Trump

Just a single day into Trump's presidency we've lost an American staple - The only Cracker Barrel in the state of Maine. Maine’s only, lonely Cracker Barrel has rocked it's last chair. Honkey'd it's last Tonk. The northernmost location of this southern chain cites post-pandemic challenges as a primary reason for its closure - a struggle echoed by many businesses that had difficulties enduring after Trump's mismanagement of the global health crisis.

Maybe Trump will step in to save these two businesses, who's to say. Obviously this article is being written tongue in cheek. Trump has taken credit for both Obama and Biden-era economic wins, so let's hold him responsible for the losses too.

Also - Egg prices are set to rise next week due to increases in Avian flu - where's the Executive Order to lower egg prices? It's technically legislating a female body, so you'd THINK they'd be able to do something about it.
