Trump supporters, how do you square this?

Well it's obviously too early to complain about prices under Trump. What's way weirder is dems didn't complain about prices for four years but start complaining the day Trump gets in office. That game is played by both sides tho so it's not something I get myself worked up over.I haven't heard a single MAGA enthusiast complain about groceries, gas prices, egg prices (that was the big one), insurance, and on and on and on.... for at least a month and a half. It just disappeared...
They didn't. But it was clearly a case where they got together and decided their actions beforehand so really not a big deal as it's being made out to be. That's probably something they should have adlibbed on in hindsight tho.Did they really not applaud for the kid with cancer? I haven't watched any of the address.
Trump is good at putting Dems in positions where they look like assholes to the majority of people.
Any politician who is willing to get in trouble over what they believe in is admirable, and that includes this. It does however eliminate the argument that he got kicked out but the women last time didn't.Green was pretty clear in an interview (just as he left the chamber) that he was very willing to take any punishment, and that he was trying to get people's attention about Medicaid. He was very intentional and used the outburst as a vehicle to get the spotlight to talk about his fears that Medicaid will be slashed.

These were the same people that gleefully shouted "Let's go Brandon" when post covid inflation was raging throughout the world. They also put Biden stickers on gas pumps where I lived.I haven't heard a single MAGA enthusiast complain about groceries, gas prices, egg prices (that was the big one), insurance, and on and on and on.... for at least a month and a half.

Trump's #1 campaign promise was "I will lower prices on day one." It was a pretty big lie, knowing he was going to enact tariffs that will increase prices. But, in the grand scheme of things, he's told a lot bigger and more damaging lies. So, no big deal, right?
Somehow, amazingly, the MAGA acolytes now seem to say "well it's some short term pain but worth it."
Man I wish I could lead such gullible followers.
These people also talk about the federal deficit. Watch this space. It will grow by a lot. You can't slash taxes for the wealthy and make some marginal cuts to small (in the grand scheme of things) government programs and have a net reduction in the deficit.
So, in short, under Trump, prices won't go down quickly, as promised, and the deficit will continue to skyrocket.
I'd be thrilled to be wrong, but I don't think I am.
That last sentence is just another example of it goes both ways. When both sides are equally guilty of something, it's kinda pointless to bring up.I didn’t complain about inflation because the world was dealing with it, and the US navigated it better than most countries did. MAGA won’t look further than Fox or whatever Trump propaganda news they tune into.
