Then vote for me next year

Trump’s false or misleading claims total 30,573 over 4 years January 24, 2021 at 3:00 a.m. EST

Imagine what the total is today. We stopped counting.

4 reasons why the Trump tariffs haven't caused U.S. inflation to soar YET​

Economists caution that just because tariffs have yet to trigger a renewed bout of inflation, there is no guarantee that prices won't surge later this year. They note that recent data shows a modest rise in the cost of items including clothing, home furnishings and appliances.

Tariffs — meaning the rate importers must pay at the border for imported goods — also take a long time to seep into the economy. That's because companies often try to hold off on passing along higher costs to customers to avoid losing market share to rivals.

Example. I'm tariffing my customers who manufacture in the USA. But they buy something from me that comes from the UK. Their company doesn't immediately add up those additional costs and put it on the price of the products they make. They are going to do the math at the end of the year probably. When they add up their costs and profits, they're going to see tariffs hit their profits. Eventually the products they make will go up in price. And keep in mind, they are manufacturing in America. Their prices are going up too.

2. It's only an average of 9% tariff. But that's 9% increase in the price of just about everything we buy. So we will survive but you were told Trump was going to lower prices not raise them all 9%.

3. Companies have stocked up before the tariffs kicked in. So what you are buying now is priced low but just wait.

4. For now, retailers are swallowing the costs. For now.

The big picture is that inflation is rising. Trump promised the exact opposite.

Bullshit. The inflation rate is down from July of last year.

We are certainly not out of the Bidenflation quagmire yet, but we are making good progress in the right direction.

But now, two former Soviet intelligence officers – Alnur Mussayev (Альнур Мусаев) and Yuri Shvets (Юрий Швец) – are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day.
And the worst part? He’s already back in the White House.
That’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power.
If you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a goddamn coup in slow motion.
Let’s break it down, nice and simple.
Alnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works – because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold.
According to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man.
But Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark – too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot – a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests.
And now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two.
If you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care.
The media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals – Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup – have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore.
And now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug.
This is how democracy dies –!not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll.
This is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?”
To which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid?
Let’s go through the evidence, shall we?
Trump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators.
Even now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin.
At some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason.
The United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished.
The media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal – this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is.
Congress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know.
The Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage.
And the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course.
The sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over – none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck.
But this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House.
There is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion – buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring.

Here's the fact, jack:
The only reason you think 2.7% inflation is meaningful is you think it is tied to Trumps tariffs.
If the tariffs were not in the news, no one would notice it.

According to Home Depot...prices are going up because of Trump's Tariffs. Your blob even acknowledged that prices are going to go up.

Enjoy those facts dick breath.

When Biden left office it was 3%, it is now 2.7%. Not sure what you’re smoking, but where did you come up with 11%?

Hey, I wanted to share an email I just got from one of my customers. The US ARMY! Like this guy, you have only just begun to start seeing the tariffs. Do you know what I told him? I said "Talk to your boss DJT".

Here is what he wrote after seeing my quote with a 10% tariff on it:

We are still interested in the probes, but when I was seeking approval for this, the Tariff Surcharge was questioned.

Since we are spending taxpayer dollars in everything we do, we must be diligent in ensuring all costs are warranted and justified.

Could you elaborate at all on this Tariff charge? Does it come from you or the supplier?

I have been asked to check if there is anywhere I can purchase these more economically where we wouldn’t experience Tariff charges.

It really gives a new perspective when these things one hears about in the political news start showing up as a line item on the bill.

No it means he wants to make sure the government isn’t getting charged by a bogus claim of tariffs and justify your price increase, kudos to your customer.

So clearly this is the first time he's being hit with a tariff. You're being hit too you just don't know it. Amazon wanted to put tariff next to each product to show you how much Trump's tariffs are costing you but Trump threatened them.

• After the initial White House criticism, Trump personally called Jeff Bezos. Following the conversation, Amazon clarified that the idea of displaying tariff costs had been considered by a team for its low-cost "Amazon Haul" site but was never approved and would not happen.
• Trump's follow-up: Trump later told reporters that Bezos was "terrific" and had "solved the problem very quickly," saying he "did the right thing".

Other retailers and companies have also pushed back against Trump's tariff policies. In May 2025, Trump threatened toy company Mattel with a 100% tariff after its CEO said tariffs would cause prices to rise.

Sort of reminds me of when Trump fired the person who released the monthly job numbers. Trump can't fire Bezos but he sure can threaten him.

Aren't you a big 1st amendment advocate?
