Trump is doing what the voters want him to do

[jc456]

Um no. They wanted lower prices at the grocery.

they have them

 

[jc456]

Many would disagree

November 5th says otherwise.

 

[jc456]

There's always tomorrow

it's always a day away!

 

[jc456]

This is a lie.

look at who you were responding to, the biggest liar on the board.

 

[jc456]

Kicking illegals out wasn't the promise. That was the move he was going to make that was supposed to raise wages. Increased wages for people who compete with illegals was the goal. But wages aren't going up because of it.

And bringing manufacturing jobs back home sure seems like the long way to MAGA for uneducated blue collar Americans

always with the lies. Why? Why can't you mthr fkers ever tell the truth? Is your life so miserable that you have to make up your lives? Weird shit.

 

[sealybobo]

Sometimes I think they're just gaslighting, and sometimes I think it's just what they're told in their world and they don't even think to question it. My guess is that, more often than not, it's the latter.

Strangely enough, I'd rather have them lying than actually believing the stuff they believe. But I guess they do.

I'm still shook by the conversation I had with my brother yesterday. He has become a true MAGANAZI. I was just telling a co worker about all the shit he said to me yesterday

"Anyone who doesn't get what Trump is doing is stupid." No brother. Anyone who believe whole heartedly that Trump is doing what he's doing because he wants to help uneducated blue collar workers, is stupid. Or anyone who thinks that any media or CEO warning that Trump is a fuck up who's fucking up with his trade wars, is an idiot who has put their trust in a con man. Sorry if I'm skeptical and pessimistic. That does not mean I want him to fail. It's not that "I don't like" trump. I want him to win me over and this con he's playing isn't enough, even if it's enough for you.

And we keep going round and round about tariffs, and if the rest of the world really needs us as much as we think they do.

I told him tourism is down. He said no it isn't. He was just in Florida and no one spoke English.

US to miss out on billions as Trump’s policies deter overseas tourists

Number of visitors sinks 11.6% in March as deportations and tariffs make US a less appealing destination

I just sent him this

So he just replied back. Didn't admit that he was wrong. Know what he said? "that's a short term problem to fix a long term disaster".

In other words, give trump 2 years to really fuck things up.

He said "you want to fix social security right? We can't keep spending and give everyone what they want. In other words, eventually Trump's going to cut my social security, then blame someone else. And my brother will defend him. Because he's a fucking MAGAllionaire.

He said I should stop focusing on this and start buying stocks now that they are low. LOL.

What lie? Why don't you expound. If I lied, tell me the truth. Give me something to work with. Because I think if you talk it through, you'll realize how flawed your thinking is. Or at least we'll see how it is.

Yeah, it just gets exasperating. It makes it worse when it's a family or a close friend. I have a couple of good buddies who have fallen down the rabbit hole, but we've agreed to just steer clear of politics.

I keep referring to the Dunning-Kruger Effect, but this just fits it to a tee. MTG is essentially the symbol, with her aggressive, condescending ignorance and misinformation.

I'm just at a loss with this. I keep observing them and listening to them and trying to come up with a way to create a bridge, but I'm just having no luck. It's far more interesting in real life, because you can see their non-verbal communication. On an internet message board, it's essentially pointless.

You are definitely a man without a clue. So true.

 

[sealybobo]

your brother's all over it.

Yes he is all over the place. Thinks the rest of the world is taking advantage of us. I don't think they are. I think they tariff things they don't want their citizens to buy outside the country. We should do the same. The only ones who took advantage of us were the American corporations who didn't protect our workers. Now it doesn't make sense to undo what we did.

What does the rest of the world buy from us? What do we can if it's tariffed if they are still buying it from us? So if they are tariffing us, it's because they don't want to buy American. Got it?

But we want to buy their shit. So don't tariff those things if we want to buy them. If we don't want to buy from other sources, slap 1000% tariff on those things.

The rest of the world makes cheap shit. That's why we want to buy from them. Why do they want to buy from us? WHAT do they want to buy from us?

And my brother/you seem to think the rest of the world needs us. I sure home you are right. I sure hope I'm wrong.

That's the difference between you and me. I'm open to being wrong. You won't even admit when you are wrong. And you'll pretend Trump won something. Like in 2017 when he started a trade war with China you guys said we won. Did we? What? What'd we win? You don't even know because Trump has you brainwashed. If he said it, just believe it. Right? And if he says something stupid he was just kidding.

they have them

They do? You might tell them that.

 

[my2¢]

I pretty sure, "drill baby drill" was one of MAGA's mantras.

 

[jc456]

They should go to a store

If that were true his polling numbers would not be at historic lows.

Well, like I said, go to the grocery stores. I paid 3.99 for eggs Saturday. Your chart said 6.27. That indicates the link is wrong, so, go to the store.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Went last week. I admit soybeans may be getting cheaper.

 

[sealybobo]

Well, like I said, go to the grocery stores. I paid 3.99 for eggs Saturday. Your chart said 6.27. That indicates the link is wrong, so, go to the store.

So like my brother you want me to believe prices are down because YOU say you went to the store and you say the price was down.

The price for gas is finally under $3 a gallon. I did notice that. That usually happens after holiday. What did Trump do to cause prices to go lower? Probably because everyone is in a wait and see mode and not buying anything they don't need, gas prices went down.

Or the oil companies are going to do everything they can to help Trump. Even temporarily lower their prices.

Yea, this year car sales are going to be horrible. This I heard from my friends who are auto engineers. That was before Trump started fucking shit up. So things were already going to be tough this year. Now Trump has made it worse. So it's no surprise gas prices have gone down

• In March 2025, the annual inflation rate was 2.4%, down from 2.8% in February.
• This means prices are still generally going up, but not as quickly as they were before.

So just like under Biden, inflation is slowing. Thanks to the Feds. Trump did nothing. And rent is still too high remember? Fix that. You promised.
