Never heard any president just outright dismiss cries for help like this. Fuck this guy.

    His reply:

    “I do say this. Beef we have to get down. I think of groceries. It’s an old-fashioned word, but it’s a beautiful word. Beef we have to get down, but we’ve got prices way down,” Trump said, further claiming that energy costs are also already down and “all-encompassing.”

    My eyes figuratively popped when he started insulting the autocrat leading North Korea who just announced that he has nukes now, way back in 2017 I guess. Maybe a few more times after that, until a pattern emerged. The above quote is just par for the course, not even mildly interesting.

      Can we have just one fucking person follow up some time and ask him why he thinks a word (in his case, fucking “groceries”) is a “beautiful word”?

      I just can’t…

          The idea that “groceries” is an old-fashioned word is fixated in his brain. He rambled on about it multiple times on the campaign trail.

          He’s never had to think about groceries, so to him it’s basically an unused word in the English language. Food has always just appeared before him like magic his entire life. I’m sure he can’t understand why people keep using this strange word he’s never had to say before the last couple of years.

            Most ultra wealthy people have really well stocked fridges even if their chef or nutritionist or whoever shops for them. They open their fridge and see groceries

            Trump grabs McDonald’s or goes to restaurants. I honestly think he doesn’t understand the concept of groceries, it’s so neat to him because he just learned where hamburgers come from
