Trump supporters, how do you square this?
- Thread starter CP87
- Start date
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
The good thing about the deficit is its a number that can be watched. The bad thing is when one random judge can stop anything a president dies, it's going to be tough to cut anything. The issue with taxing the rich more is we are talking about billions of dollars. It wouldn't even dent the trillions. There isn't an amount of taxing that can get us out of this. There has to be less spending. I do understand it's easy to yell "take more of someone else's money" tho.
I'm about to get two tvs going. Let's love each other for the next few hours! Go hawks!
