ECON Trump: "Prices are down, income is up, our Border is closed, gasoline is CHEAP, inflation is DEAD"

I hate to say it, but I think Trump is going to make things worse overall. The bad part about the entire thing is that he will still be saying how good it will be, and he won't have a clue what is really happening. I have begun to question some of his statements and actions. IMO, he needs to step away from twitter/X. He posts crap that is ridiculous, lies, and items that he doesn't have the power to enforce.

The fact that he doesn't know to admit that he is wrong at times, speaks volumes about his character. When something doesn't go right for him, or he screwed up, he always blames another person, and tries to deflect. He can't say "I was wrong." Most of the time he states that he was given bad information by the wrong people. That maybe true, but he, and he alone, is the one signing the bill or issuing orders.

It is almost a running a joke. At times he acts like a middle school student. He is best friends with someone. He/she is the greatest person to ever live and can do no wrong. Whoever questions them should be considered a traitor. Then this person disagrees with Trump, and the total opposite is stated. The person is stupid, has no sense and is a horrible person. Sometimes I don't know if he is near 80 or 12.

If you want to go down a rabbit hole look at the bump stock ban, making tobacco products illegal for people under 21 to purchase. Both of which were done with a stroke of a pen and didn't go through congress

He has said certain things and some of his actions makes me believe that he just out for his friends, and making them lots of money. Yeah, he maybe draining the swamp, but it is being replaced with his own people and who the puppet masters want there. Nothing changes, only the players in the game.

Standard statement from someone who doesn't actually get his own gas, buy his own groceries, etc.

Here (central MD) regular gas is down maybe 5 cents, and only recently. Eggs just went down to $3.59 but that was a supply chain issue because of bird flu. Meat and most other groceries are insane, the standard price for a bag of assorted stuff is $50-$75 now. One bag of groceries :eek: I leave the store just shaking my head anymore

Just got an email from electric company that electricity prices are going up again this month. Car insurance is up 25%

Bullshit prices are not down and income hasn't come close to covering inflation. The prices of cars have gotten to the tipping point people can't afford them . Since covid corporations have made record profits reduced sizes while increasing prices . They are fighting to keep it this way.

Don't forget discrimination! Age, race, DEI, a lot of gender (atl metro).

It's like 2007-10 again. Replace all of your over 45 employees with new grads that couldn't find they ass with both hands and a map!

Y'all want to know why customer service is in the toilet? All these new "managers" don't have a clue how to talk to people. They also think the title "manager" means they can sit they're prissy, in debt to the eyeballs, ignorant smart mouth ass behind a desk and delegate every task they are getting salary pay for.


Holy hellz don't get me started...

Don't lose sight of the reality of where we were. It was either him or kameltoes. Not much is going to change in his term, but it sure would have been horrendous if she won

No one wants to hear that. They lived in fantasy land that with DJT being in office their every desire would be instantly fulfilled. :rolleyes: They apparently assumed that DJT would be a dictator of their whims rather than someone having to deal with a backstabbing do-nothing congress and a judicial system that has been stacked against him since his first term. That he’d be able to wiggle his magic wand and make the last four years, plus the Obama sabotage mess instantly disappear.

You know, I’m starting to see how Moses must have felt to be doing the best he could as a man, come down from the Mountain with the Tablets, to find the hebrews running around complaining he wasn’t getting them to the Promised Land fast enough and they preferred their gold cow.

If this country winds up having to wander in the wilderness for decades to come a lot of people better start looking in the mirror for the reason why.

You don’t worship a man and expect a god so you don’t have to work. You worship God and then ask what your job is in His plan.

I'm still crossing my fingers with the president. Till it's over, it ain't over, and only time will tell. There's plausible reality's that allow such a thing.... though the concerns are real as well.
