...Trump is crashing the economy so he has to tell the dumbasses that gas and egg prices are lower than they've been in 4 years or coming down.

And here's the thing. The dumbasses will believe it. Fox News will make sure the dumbasses believe it.

Oh, and Trump crashing the US economy will eventually lower gas prices but don't celebrate it because you MAGAs will get HAMMERED under the Trumpcession.



 
Imagine believing that scientists, historians, and journalists dedicated their entire lives to deceiving you—but a reality TV star with a rap sheet of fraud and lies is somehow the one telling the truth.

Because they are dickless pratts.
 
COVID did a serious number on the global supply chain. Only careful stewardship from our political leadership post pandemic not only gave us a so-called soft landing but also put us on a path of strong growth.

Trump is wrecking that fixed supply chain. Some think it is malevolence. I think it is stupidity. Either way, Trump is a self activating black swan event.
 
This is the President’s gambit.

Bring about a recession to lower prices and give the FED an excuse to lower interest rates.

Who cares if people get laid off….

The dumbshits have been believing Trump lies since 2015. If they haven't wised up by now, they likely never will.

There is likely $$$ involved for Trump. Greed is usually Trump's foundation for his decisions.

At a certain level, I guess. I’m still of the opinion that the only thing that matters to Trump is the Eternal Now. What makes him feel good right NOW.

Gas and egg prices are coming down.

What's your point?

That's a good thing because it's true.

What's your point?

Trump's track record with the economy is good and the numbers are stable.

What makes you think he is crashing the economy?


It could be a downtick, but the price of gas is lower.

Two weeks ago gas was 3.69 in my little corner of Trumpganistan. Today is was 3.59.

YMMV
 
Egg inflation is also dropping-
The cost of white large shell eggs declined to $6.85 per dozen, on average, last week, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That represents a decline of $1.20 per dozen, and a 15% pull back the USDA's prior update on Feb. 28.
Biden/Harris crashed the economy, and Trump is the only person smart enough to reverse it.
Also interest rates have dropped for 6 straight weeks-
Mortgage rates declined for the sixth consecutive week, with the 30-year fixed rate dropping to 6.67%.

KamaLiar Harris is the #1 ranked Liar of all-time, and her whole campaign was based around Trump enforcing a Federal Abortion Ban, which isn't even possible unless you control 60 votes in the Senate, plus its completely against Trump's philosophy of letting the states decide abortion laws-

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/08/politics/donald-trump-abortion-2024/index.html
“My view is now that we have abortion where everyone wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both. And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state,” Trump said in a video posted to his Truth Social account.

“Many states will be different,” Trump continued. “Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be. At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people.”

https://apnews.com/article/abortion...one-election-7f43c7e9ab192ebe874a1f0b1b7ba60b
In an interview published Tuesday by Time magazine, Trump responded to questions about how he would handle various abortion questions if elected by repeatedly saying it should be left up to the states.

“You don’t need a federal ban,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said. “Roe v. Wade ... wasn’t about abortion so much as bringing it back to the states. So the states would negotiate deals. Florida is going to be different from Georgia and Georgia is going to be different from other places.”

When asked if he would veto a bill that would impose a federal ban, he reiterated “it’s about states rights” and said “there will never be that chance” because Republicans, even if they take back the Senate in November, would not have the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster and bring the bill to a vote.

“It’ll be straightened out and as you know, it’s all about states’ rights,” the former president told supporters and journalists after landing in Atlanta for a fundraiser. “It’ll be straightened out, and I’m sure that the governor and everybody else are going to bring it back into reason and that’ll be taken care of, I think, very quickly.”
Trump predicted that he said, tariffs are "short-term pain for long-term gain".
Also, the stockmarket is for gamblers, not for everyday Americans who care about INTEREST RATES and INFLATION more than anything.

He didn’t predict that; he retconned that.

After almost 50 years of neoliberal transitioning from defined benefit retirement to 401K and IRA, you have to try really hard to be this wrong.

SMART Americans don't bank on the stockmarket.
That is your problem if you do, and during 2024 you heard voters obsessing over INFLATION, not the stockmarket.

This a lie. Trump lies more than any 10 other people. Denying the truth in this is essentially another lie.
He lied.

This is actually true.
 
^ When is Trump enforcing a Federal Abortion Ban then?
Her campaign was all about the Federal Abortion Ban and Hitler and "Joy".
And prior to that, she was praising Biden's mental state!

During the debate, Harris falsely claimed that there isn’t a single member of the U.S. military “who is in active duty in a combat zone, in any war zone around the world -- the first time this century.”
There are 900 U.S. military personnel in Syria and 2,500 U.S. service members in Iraq that have been under regular threat for months, as well those patrolling in the Red Sea, where Houthi rebels in Yemen have targeted commercial shipping.

During the debate, Harris claimed Trump called neo-Nazi's "very fine people."
This hoax was debunked by Snopes but the ABC moderators let it slide.

During the debate, Harris claimed Trump said there would be a bloodbath if he is not elected, insinuating that his supporters would start killing people.
The comment was made during a rally where Trump said there would be a "bloodbath" for the American auto industry if he is not elected.

During the debate, Harris laughed when Trump said she wanted to defund the police.
During a previous interview, Harris said having more cops on the street is "wrong."
She also supported taking police officers out of schools.

During the debate, Harris told Trump to "stop lying" about her wanting to confiscate firearms.
Harris has previously stated multiple times that she wants to launch a mandatory buyback program.

I must have missed Maddow. What's the issue with gas prices? I just paid $3.49/gal this morning for mid grade and that's where it's been for a few months, maybe a little lower.

This is not a warzone for the US because the US is not a war.

No, it wasn't.
