Excerpt:
For Trump, who ran his 2024 campaign on promising to lower prices on “day one” and insisting that tariffs would solve every other problem by “bringing in” trillions of dollars, that’s a lethal problem. He’s never been able to understand that those trillions are paid by Americans, whether it’s American companies or consumers.
The president’s broken pledge explains why so much of the country is now even more upset than they were when Biden was in office. It’s bad enough to feel like you can’t easily make ends meet anymore. It’s worse when someone promises you to your face that they’ll fix that problem, and then tell you they’ve done it when they haven’t. That’s where Trump is today.
Much like lightning a fart.
The term “gaslighting” implies he is a master manipulator. That is one possibility.
The other is that he is pathological liar and he believes in the lies he says.
Either way, he is dangerous.
Did not bother to watch the usual Biden/Democrat Responsible Rant and according to reports of the speech last evening didn’t miss anything. VOTE THEM OUT.
