Trump says he is going to “make America affordable again.” It’s a pledge he made frequently during the campaign. And now, after dropping it from his lexicon for more than eight months, he’s saying it again as polls show voters rank the economy and cost of living as their top concern and blame Trump’s policies for making things worse.
Thus far, Trump has spent far more time boasting about how great the economy and stock market are doing than acknowledging any economic anxiety.
He got elected because of racism and sexism
Anyone who thinks he’ll keep any promise to them is an idiot.
No he doesn’t. Its like anything else just say everything is fine like with everything they do. Prices are lower than ever, inflation has gone away, ice activities are legitamate, ice actions have been exemplory, the sandwich impacted with force that penetrated my bullet proof vest and got mustard all over me, those ships are running drugs, etc, etc.
It boggles my mind how anyone ever thought he would improve the US in any way (not just economics).
He’s a lying, corrupt, child raping facist.
Motherfuckers had ten years, besides the rest of his miserable life to see what kind of person he was. There’s a reason I give zero trust to anyone who thought it a good idea to give him the reigns the first time, the second time is compete disregard for humanity, fuck them, I hope they get to wallow in the misery they created for everyone.
Despite all this shit, you still see people defending his long-time supporters like they’re victims and not willing participants. No one who supported Trump after his first term and subsequent failed insurrection should be trusted or sympathized with, ever.
You don’t help run an enterprise of kid-fucking without learning how to fool some folks.
What’s good for me is good for you and lookie all the tariff money I got!
“Okay, but he hates the same people I do!”
I just still don’t understand why the stupid mythology of “Republicans gud at 'conomy” continues to persist. It was stupid pre-Taco; it’s positively delusional after his first term.
Same goes for the dumb mythology of running the government like a business and putting a “businessman” in charge, LOL. Not that Pedonald really counts as a businessman, as low as a bar as that truly is…
The myth stands because the economy usually takes 2 to 4 years to catch up after major political changes.
That was apparent under Biden as well as Obama. Hell, Obama inherited the whole 2007-2008 crash, and pulled the US out of it like no other county managed. Compared to W who literally got the singular most nation-uniting event dropped on his lap, and fucked it up so much that the US suffered the most from the dot-com crash…
Donnie inherited Obama’s good economy and within two years there were clear signs of him fucking shit up so bad… But people blamed Biden for it, because he inherited most of the shit, and only in the last year of his presidency did things begin to visibly improve.
And don’t forget, most people are morons and incredibly easy to mislead. Just how many denounce Biden’s response to COVID when it was the orange shitsack who was President for most of it? And that’s only been 5 years ago. You seriously expect the same idiots to remember the past 20-30-40 years? Or have enough reasoning skills to look at collated data going back a hundred years showing how policies affected the economy (specifically the economy the average people experiencing, not talking about the Fortune 500 doing well or some other crap metric)?
I Voted for Trump the First time, and after he Sent me $2000 of MY Tax Dollars after I was laid Off due to Covid I KNEW he was the Best person for the Economy!
I know that there probably won’t be a lot of people that agree with me on this, but I sincerely think that in order to elected that Trump actually lied about about the fact that he was going to help people.
I do not think he’s a good president either. There. I said it.
Daring today, aren’t we?
The one I heard enough that I wouldn’t be surprised to find out it was the scripted official response was along the lines of “I know which one my life was better under.” These are also the same folks who parroted the “How come eggs is so darn expensive?” only to pivot directly into understanding that the president doesn’t control the egg prices, which are controlled by complex market conditions that they’re now fully able to articulate, the moment Trump was sworn in. Weird, huh?
Now they’re struggling to understand why coffee and beef are so expensive and why every time they go to Walmart it’s always out of this and that almost as bad as it was back at the start of the covid epidemic. Gee, who was president then, too? Starting to see a pattern here.
