Affordability is a democratic hoax - is this his “let them eat cake” moment?

Affordability is a democratic hoax and kids only need 3 dolls (anyone want to guess how many dolls his kids had?) This man is deranged and he could not care less about his citizens. When will people start to see it?? He could not be more blatant.

There were five plusses after that A. Get your facts straight, PP.

I think it’s pretty obvious that Trump and his Heritage goons are trying to provoke a mass violence event in order to claim power forever. They’re probably surprised that the only ones taking the bait so far are their own disgruntled ex-supporters, so expect them to ramp up the pain until even TikTok can’t drown it out anymore.

Sorry MAGA. You’re the only ones dumb enough to believe this lie.

When did inflation rise the most? Under Biden.

Actually, it was during covid, under Trump. It was going down under the second half of Biden's admin, but then went back up because of Trump's tariffs policies. Who doesn't know that tariffs will cause prices to go up?

DP, but what you're missing is that Biden actually did cause a lot of inflation with the Russia sanctions. We basically cut ourselves and allies off from cheap energy sources that were replaced with more expensive ones. That's because energy prices impact all other prices.

The Biden administration brought inflation down to normal levels that the Trump administration is now exceeding after promising his entire campaign to bring prices down.

+1 If it's fine for Trump to increase prices via tariffs why is it bad to put sanctions on a warmonger country? We basically cut ourselves from our allies by siding with Putin, and against NATO and our EU allies.

Also, Biden released oil reserves.

Gas prices are pretty low right now, but we still have high inflation. Thank Trump for the tariffs.

As somebody who lives within walking distance of a grocery store this is extra awesome! Hooray!

I randomly read a long article last week about the new generation of young Republican/TPUSA leaders in Utah. It quoted several saying that affordability was their biggest issue.

He clearly doesn’t get it, which honestly scares me, because I find Trump most dangerous when he feels cornered.

He's really going to lash out next year because prices are just going to go up, his dementia will just continue getting worse, and it's all anybody will be talking about heading into the midterms.

Prices are just going to get worse in 2026. I've really seen a spike since November.

If you say this, then I assume you are able to explain the cause and effect mechanics--what exactly did Biden and the democrats do, how that led to inflation, and how the such actions always lead to inflation.

The reality is that supply and demand were completely upended by covid, and the post-pandemic inflation rate was the lowest in the developed world.

Speaking of cult, I find the mindset of confiscating (stealing) from people's pay checks (income) to provide complete strangers with health insurance a cult.

The difference is that the party that passed this stuff didn't boycott the inauguration of the president from the opposition party, didn't try to use the DOJ as a consigliere, and hasn't seen its center-wing people quit Congress is disgust with their own party.

Keeping with the "Christmas is camcelled" theme,
Trump announced to the military that being able to afford basic housing and utilities is their "bonus" this year.

Even if the MAGA cult believes that Biden and Democrats caused high prices, Trump's comment that no one ever heard of affordability until Biden should tell them that he has no clue.

Like most cult members they'll stand by their demented leader and ruin themselves.

What amazes me is how true the old adage “it takes one [cult] to know one” applies here.

Most people are sane and just voted to tamp down the BS of the last president as they did the time before. Those people are not cult members. The ones complaining about them are.

Watch. Nothing much will change when the Dems take office in 2028. They will employ the tactics as The Orange One and pull the country the other way. They will cite precedent while they use those tactics.

You’re one of those people who watch sports and think the refs only make bad calls against your team. Try being less emotional.

How long can you keep blaming Biden? will it be his fault next year? At what point does Trump need to take responsibility for what happens under his administration?

Give us a timeline.
