Trump bezeichnet Erschwinglichkeit als „Betrug der Demokraten“ und „Schwindel“ – doch fast drei Viertel seiner Wähler sind der Meinung, dass die Lebenshaltungskosten schlecht oder die schlechtesten überhaupt sind

Good, Learn Nothing that’ll make it easier for Democrats to crush You.
There’s a lot they can lie about. They can make any non-American resident a boogeyman. They can tell you the Internet is an evil that’s corrupting your children. They can make up a lot of stories.
But the one thing they can’t „lie over“… is someone’s empty wallet. They can lie, lie, lie all they want, but unless that wallet’s getting fuller, you’re fucked.
Think? MFer, I can provide receipts.
Runs on affordability during campaign, calls it a scam,just like he did with the Epstein files, will MAGA learn their lesson this time?
He also called himself the “affordability President” in a Truth Social post on November 29th.
No, wait. Sorry. I misquoted him.
He called himself “THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT”
If affordability is a scam and a hoax and a con job, does that mean he’s the scam and hoax and con job President?
Never mind, the question answers itself.
He ran on being the affordability President. He was elected (in part) because he was going to lower prices ON DAY ONE. Obviously, many of us knew he was lying and couldn’t do that even if he wanted to. But millions believed his lies. So WTF is he even talking about? FR??
Ask his voters in two weeks. They’ll think he’s solved it and the prices are the best they’ve ever been.
He said that he is the affordability President. So, scam and con job fits.
Faux news can keep broadcasting lies & propaganda supporting the evil conduct of Trump’s regime ..
But the cost of groceries & utilities don’t lie…
Is this the dumbest thing he’s ever said. It’s hard to keep track.
January is going to be fun fun fun when the darkness sets in after the glow of the holidays is turned off and the bills pile up.
^(sorry, that was a bit grim)
Well they did until he said this, and now they feel better about him and are even more mad at Joe Biden now.
They’re windsocks like him.
He doesn’t need their votes anymore. He told them to their face. They cheered him for it.
Worst ever… *so far*.
It’s the dementia saying the quiet part out loud again: he means promising affordability is the con he’s been using lately with great success.
Worst ever confirmed
This is Trump’s self-proclaimed Golden Age.
Hello darkness my old friend
So is he saying affordability is never going to be in the cards because Republicans never want to pursue a Democrat Scam? So they will forever go out of their way to ensure that nothing is affordable?
Didn’t Trump promise to fix the economy?
Another lie, add it to the pile.
This motherfucker could say the sky is green and MAGA would repeat it without question.
Don’t worry they’ll eat his shit if he tells them then brag about it. They’re beyond dumb.
He’s never had to worry about where his next meal would come from, how much the medication he needs to stay alive costs, or how he’d afford rent next month.
He didn’t understand the concept of „groceries“.
Additionally, zero empathy, and may have dementia.
I don’t think this is someone whose opinion on this topic should carry any weight whatsoever.
Trump calls anything that reflects poorly on him a Democrat scam/hoax. He always trots that line out and his base eats it up every time because they’re unable to think for themselves.
How is someone who has never filled their own cupboard or pantry and had to have the term “grocery” explained to him, have even the foggiest idea about affordability.
Nearly every single time the economy crashed, it was with a Republican as president. Research the past 100 years of market crashes and you will be shocked!
With a the price of utilities alone, it is unaffordable. A household with two full time jobs can barely keep up with the rate hikes on power and water. Then factor in the price of necessities and food and it becomes unmanageable. And that leaves out gas, insurance, and the unimaginable prospect of a home repair or broken appliance or heaven forbid a car repair. And then taxes.
Here’s the raw truth: inflation has slowed to just above 2% per year, but that just means previous price gains are here to stay. The voters want deflation,but the Fed and federal govt hate deflation so it will never happen. It doesn’t matter which party is in power, prices will NOT go down if the govt can prevent it.
I saw a $15 bag of nerd clusters this week
The grocery stores don’t even advertise steak anymore. The big “sale” is select grade shoulder roast for $8 a pound
A 20oz bottle of soda at a gas station in a poverty stricken small town was $3.89.
Wasn’t that one of the main pillars of his campaign?
MAGA may think that the cost of living has gone out of control, but they will never blame Trump.
Completely out of touch. I cannot wait for the day we move on from him and his cronies.
