Donald Trump would prefer that voters not worry about inflation. But it’s hard for them to ignore.
Filling up a basic Ford F-150 truck now costs about $100, up $30 from a year ago. Mortgage rates have jumped to levels that have depressed home sales. And for the past 12 months, consumer prices have risen faster than paychecks, making the average family poorer.
One week before midterm elections that will serve as a referendum on his second term, Trump is struggling to deliver on his campaign promise to bring down costs, even as he insists the country has entered an economic “golden age.” The same frustration that powered his comeback two years ago could now cost Republicans control of Congress.
Agreed. The longer he has been in power and making decisions, the worse things have gotten. Trump chose to do wage this illegal war, and Rs in Congress chose to not only waive their congressional war power but actively defend their daddy in his quest to consolidate power to the executive. If it were 1776, they’d be begging British soldiers to quarter in their homes and drink their booze and fuck their wives and suck every drop of cum from their British soldier dicks. Rs today are a bunch of snowflake beta cuck losers, and I’m tired of pretending that they deserve any amount of respect. After six years of trump in power, nobody respectable could possibly still be falling for this shit.
