  1. Because he doesn’t need it to get elected. You all were rubes.

  2. LOL. He literally told you he just cared about your votes.

  4. I’m shocked. Shocked! To think Trump really doesn’t give a shit about the working class or their issues. /S

  5. This wasn’t a trick. Right wingers have been lying to people.

    The whole “ha! He got those right wingers” is wrong. He didn’t. They knew he didn’t care about workers. They just want social hierarchy

  7. Oh weird. I thought that’s why Americans elected him??? Huh.

  8. For many Trump voters, the cost of living was never the motivation.

  9. Funny that a man who had to cosplay the working class never actually cared about them

  10. You mean a guy with a golden toilet, who openly stated he “doesn’t care about you and only wants your votes”, who picked a cabinet full of billionaires and literal Nazis, doesn’t care about working class cost of living?!

  11. He literally said he does not care about you. He only wants your vote.

  13. It’s because he never cared. Donald Trump absolutely fucking hates poor people. He hates the middle class. He hates anybody that can’t give him large campaign donations.

    He just needed the simpleton vote.

  14. It’s why the distractions about buying Greenland and taking over Canada and the Panama Canal are so important… HR 7, HR 21… calling a constitutional Convention to rewrite the Constitution to take away rights… selling off public lands, getting Hegseth and Gabbart out of the headlines…. So much under the radar the Republicans want to sneak by us while we’re all agog about Trump not putting his hand over his heart. Media suck.

  15. They got fucking played because they always get played. This country is full of the easily grifted.

  16. He’s working very hard, tremendously hard, harder than anyone ever before, on renaming the Gulf of Mexico because that’s what the people voted for

  17. 1. He already abandoned all his promises he made to get elected

    2. He rambles on attacking Canada, Denmark & Panama, some of our greatest allies.

    3. He gave important government positions to the highest bidder and his cabinet is filled with incompetent billionaires.

    I’m starting to think that his supporters actually voted for the deep state by mistake 😂

  18. Many who voted for him thought he cared about him. Trump cares about no one but himself. He USES people and once he’s done using them he’s done with them. The working class were used and merely a means to an end.

    > Afterwards, in a speech to supporters, Trump touted how many different demographic groups he won in Nevada, declaring that “We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated,” before exclaiming “I love the poorly educated!”

  19. Good, maybe pain will teach the less fortunate that thought a grifter would save them.

  20. but at least he is renaming california to americalifornia,

    and wyoming to wyamericaoming.

    and renaming the moon to amerimoon.

    Price of eggs? rename them AMERI-EGGS.

  21. You’re trying to tell me a lifelong fraud who did nothing his first term except pass tax cuts for the rich and botch a public health crisis.. someone who just appointed a cabinet of self-serving billionaires – who wants to raise inflation with tariffs, end unions, and cut social programs…

    Isn’t good for the working class?

    By god if only there were any glaring signs, America may not have made this unwise decision!

  22. He doesn’t care. He is disgusted by normal people

  23. No shit. Trump doesn’t care about anyone who can’t make him money.

  24. Yeah, no shit. No idea how anyone fell for his act a SECOND time.

  26. Helping Americans wasn’t the plan, just convincing them they were victims so the oligarchs could take over was. He hates his followers in all reality. Divide and conquer was the plan all along.

  27. First comes the issues of the billionaire. Can these middle class working people just wait.

  28. Oh my goodness, who could have possibly predicted this is exactly what would happen…again.

  29. I’m starting to think this Donald Trump guy is not a friend to the working man.

  30. He never had any intention nor a plan to do anything substantive to help the working classes.

    What he’ll do is give them a small, temporary tax cut while giving the rich a large, permanent one.

    Again.

    In doing so he will run up the national debt to record levels, to the applause of Russia and China, and further endanger the dollar as the world reserve currency.

    Worse, he’ll undermine Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare while republican congresspeople sing the usual refrain of, “Who’s going to pay for it?”

    They never seem to have any difficulty paying for corporate fat cat tax breaks and subsidies though.

    And the US slips further into neo-feudalism as billionaires’ fortunes continue to grow out of control.

  32. Just like he went silent on election fraud. Time for the old lies ended with the election. Now it’s time for new lies.
