      Do they think there is a switch in the oval office that you can turn from expensive groceries to cheap groceries? Like with oil?

    The math was always simple. He had two main economic proposals. And tariffs + destroying the agrarian workforce = higher prices.

    Duh? His plan is to slash regulations and increase tariffs meaning companies will be able to set whatever price they want without oversight and blame it on other countries retaliatory tariffs all while laughing all the way to the bank after buying any and all competition.

    I mean, his trade war mentality the first time is what put us in this situation to begin with. I don’t know how anyone will be surprised when the price of literally everything starts skyrocketing again next year.

      The average person is incredibly dumb.

      And yet, I bet the bulk of his supporters will be very pikachu face if they do. Faux News, etc., will have to scramble to explain to the deplorables how this is really the fault of [qon boogeyman].

      It will also keep interest rates from coming down. Markets are already expecting fewer cuts.

      That’s not what he’s saying. Then again, he’s always been full of crap.

    Team Blue showed they didn’t care and shouldn’t have been given another chance to do nothing

      Team blue foolishly tried to govern in good faith. Meanwhile team obstruction are done now blocking supreme court nominations and bipartisan legislation, and are completing their metamorphosis from obstruction to plain old destruction. The slowest, most blatant coup in history and somehow no one was particularly interested in stopping it. With all the immigrants in concentration camps, storms and natural disasters spiralling out of control, sweetheart deals for iron fisted billionaires and the unraveling of public health, education, and runaway inflation, who will the scapegoat be when they control all three branches of government?

      Agreed. If only they had [Republican Lawsuit] the [Republican Lawsuit] maybe we could have [Republican Lawsuit]. Instead, they [Republican Lawsuit], [Republican Lawsuit], and [Republican Lawsuit] to keep the [Republican Lawsuit] in place.
