A new poll found more Americans are unhappy with Donald Trump’s stances on the economy and cost of living, with almost twice as many saying the president has helped raise prices rather than lowering them.
In a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted Nov. 21-24, 49% of respondents said Trump’s actions since taking office for his second term in January have raised prices instead of cutting them. That’s a nearly two-to-one ratio to the 24% who said he’s done more to lower costs.
The survey also found more Americans (38%) blame Trump for inflation than his predecessor, former President Joe Biden (31%), despite the now-president campaigning on the economy during his successful 2024 presidential bid.
Say what you will about Trump, but he delivers on his campaign promises. Albeit with a monkeys paw.
Of course, his supporters thought he was exaggerating or talking hyperbolically. They believed him when he claimed to never know about Project 2025. And maybe he really didn’t, who knows. Its pretty clear he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing or even where he even is most days. He talks out of his ass constantly. But they find that endearing, I guess.
Its funny, the same people worried about a shadow government, rounding up citizens for FEMA death camps, poisoning our water supply, etc…elected us a guy who did and does all those things. Proudly, even.
Personally I think a political leader, while they should be likeable (I mean, that should be a bare requirement to even get anywhere in politics in the first place), they should also be composed, professional, respectful, and even if they disagree with you, do so receptively and constructively. He is none of these things, and they think that makes him great. Really it just makes him a baffoon and makes the entire country a laughing stock.
Soggy corpo middle manager types are unelectable anymore
Now that the Right Wing Authoritarians (RWAs) got a taste of the China White that is the likes of Taco, they aren’t going back to the methadone like RMoney or Jeb! or Lil Marco, that’s for sure.
They got a taste when McCain’s people picked Palin. That was just a prelude of the stupidity, incompetence, and pure nastiness that was to come.
They’ll be looking around for someone else they feel has Fuck You Money and also Says What I Think (meaning, they say racist and misogynist things). Along with some cover story about how they are Good At Bidness ™, because they always go for some of the very stupidest ideas, and one of the very most idiotic of ideas that so many Americans cling to no matter how ridiculous is that The Country Should Be Run Like a Business. Because, something something, argle bargle, “efficiency”. 🤦♂️
