If nothing else, it'll be fun to see MAGA try and balance their cultish devotion to Trump clashing with their love of complaining about things getting worse.
clashing with their love of complaining about things getting worse.
Blame immigrants, blame democrats, blame other countries... There will be no clashing.
Trump could literally in broad daylight kick them in the balls while looking at them in the eye ... and MAGA idiots will still blame the democrats for it.
"Trump HAD to kick me in the balls to get back at the Demoncrats because...."
-Some MAGA moron probably
It was a Biden executive order with an autopen for sure. Trump is a patriot for following the law and kicking me in the balls.
Promise: EVERYTHING
Deliver: NOTHING
Blame: ~~OBAMA~~ BIDEN
A few years ago it was "thanks Obama"
The same people that hung on to every syllable that came out of Biden's mouth, pounced on the most minor grammatical mistakes, and seemed to have memorized every word the man uttered in his latest speech now suddenly they claim they don't keep up with the news they haven't heard what Trump is saying and they'll look it up later.
Oh, that's easy. It's the immigrants' fault. Or it's Biden's fault. Or it's the Democrats' fault.
When objective truths don't hold any weight whatsoever, blame can be assigned freely without having to perform mental gymnastics to make it make sense.
Oh come on. Everyone knows its Venezuela thats been doing these nasty things to mercan patriots with their narcocommunist submarine regimechange programs.
Except it's not HIM sitting in that room. He's made billions since taking office again. It's going great for him.
He's sitting somewhere else entirely. It's just all us non billionaires and the non-centimillionaires sitting in that room.
Just remember that "the economy" really stands for "rich people's yacht money" -- by that metric it's doing great.
Forbes: "The stock market is doing really well."
MAGAs: "YAY!"
Me: "The stock market has nothing to do with YOU!"
When he says “america” he means himself. When he says “the economy” he means his bank accounts.
I’m not being glib, I’m being literal. L’État, c’est moi. He has merged himself with the state.
He’s lowered prescription drug prices by 1500%, too.
Like numbers mean anything to this deranged ape.
42% still thinks Diaper Donnie is doing an excellent job though.
Look at an IQ distribution and then add in severe mental disability such as alzheimers and dementia. BAM!
Good time to be a grifter; good time to be an extortionist; good time to be a politician with his own cryptocurrency. Nothing else is real.
Hmmm, sounds like a good time to bring a group of 2A loving friends with you and extort your local MAGAt officials. You know they're raking in tons of dirty money. Show like ICE(masked up, refuse to show badges or ID) and take what you want from them. If they resist... They had something to hide. Disappear them. Concrete and 50 gallon plastic barrels are cheap, and lakes/rivers/oceans are plentiful
Yeah. Fraudsters have never had it easier.
I'm sure it's going A+++++ to the 10th power.....for him.
He's got the grift and fraud machine firing on all cylinders. And no one is stopping him. People giving him planes. People funneling billions to him via crypto.
Eh, does it though?
His "coin" https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/official-trump/ went from 40B to 6B in less than a year, top holders owns 80% (I imagine him), others top 10 get few millions at most and everybody else has 8%. That looks like a pretty bad outcome even for bribes.
At what point does this insanity end America? Are you not embarrassed enough yet as a country
At what point does this insanity end America?
We're not even in Bush-Era levels of economic crisis. Obama couldn't win a Senate seat on these terms.
If anything, we're still riding the lingering high of post-COVID revival of ZIRP and the Fed Free Money Machine. The dominoes Trump started knocking over at the start of the year are still tumbling. Quite a few of us are fully removed from the consequences to date.
FFS, we haven't even been hit with a hurricane yet. Talk to me after another Harvey or Katrina, when we're looking at some real acute social crisis. Talk to me when unemployment gets north of 5%. The BLM / Occupy levels of public dissidence doesn't pop off until we're in the 6-10% range.
Are you not embarrassed enough yet as a country
No. We won't properly be embarrassed until its a personal problem we can blame on the President. Right now its all someone else's problem. The college kid's problem. The migrant's problem. The guy on Medicaid's problem. Right now we can do the funny memes on LeopardsEatingFaces sub where we joke about how Trumpies are getting what they deserve.
Talk to me when I'm out on my ass with an eviction notice because my industry just fired half its workforce. Talk to me when the local grocery store is emptied out by a hedge fund that's bankrupted the agricultural supply chain. Talk to me when its my turn to get a knock at the door from ICE.
Then I'll be embarrassed. Now I'm content to be smugly dismissive of everyone else.
More like "Trump grades his personal economy", mostly due to bribes and grifting.
I mean, yeah - by some accounts he could have doubled his net worth over the past year alone thanks to Trump coin alone!
Five pluses, huh?
Imagine how dire things would be if it was only an A++!
He's actually coming out of hiding? Hey PA. show him how your grandparents dealt with fascists in WWII
More like ASSSSSSS
President pedonald J(for genius) Assface?
Says the man who doesn’t buy “groceries” but thinks it’s a made up word.
You need to understand that politicians and billionaires use a different dictionary. In that one, 'economy' is defined as 'rich people's money, assets and influence'. Applying this definition, everything makes sense.
The company I've worked at in a specialist/management position for slightly above minimum wage where I haven't had a pay increase in two years, reported record profits this year.
Honestly, it's like listening to a child, trying to lie to you. Everyone knows that a really great economy has SIX pluses!
Ah, the 'ol 1984 "quintuple plus good."
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
"That affordability thing is fake news. All of my billionaire friends have been able to afford more than ever."
Dementia Speaks, folks.. That's for sure.
Says the demented and out of touch old fool who's never missed a meal in his miserable life.
And wildly his stupid, demented, dipshit dumb fuck, dumb ass moron, troglodyte base will believe it and echo it at max volume at any given opportunity.
They themselves are losing everything to Trump and will demand you believe the opposite lest you contradict their god-emporer.
