Summary

After campaigning on promises to reduce costs for the working class, Donald Trump has largely gone silent on cost-of-living issues since his election.

In a recent interview, he admitted he could not restore grocery prices to 2019 levels without a recession.

While gas prices and groceries are already falling, Trump’s policies focus on government cuts and HB-1 visa expansions, which may harm his base.

Instead of addressing working-class concerns, he has turned to controversial ideas like buying Greenland or reclaiming the Panama Canal, drawing global criticism.

    You’re right. Dems also could have immediately begun prosecuting Trump for the insurrection and other crimes, but waited 2 years to begin to ensure no elites would actually be held accountable. This combined with Dems’ refusal to hold a primary election resulted in an (in no way whatsoever) stunning defeat.

    Add in Biden policies like record oil and gas drilling while the planet burns, and full-throated genocide enablement for Israeli war criminals…why do people think any other outcome was possible? Are they so susceptible to the pathetic Dem gaslighting that “no, actually economy is doing great, and Biden is FDR 2.0”? Sad if true.
