Now if Democrats were politically savvy, which they aren't, and could actually understand the average American, they'd be hammering this point about Republicans not bringing down prices until the next century.
That would require the help of the media, and we all know that's not going to happen.
Doesn’t really matter. Republican voters won’t hear it from any of their info sources.
The sad fact that we let a propoganda outlet fester for 3 decades without so much as even calling it out.
Where’ve you been? It’s been called out since its inception, and ramping up in intensity as time goes on and it gets worse.
It literally just makes them watch harder because “if they hate it so much it must be true!”
I guess I should have been more specific. The US government should have been forced to sue to shut it down at some point on behalf of American interests. Then all of that should have been public.
Yup. They are coddled in a media system that won't let them know any real facts.
So, he's not even in office and already squirming out of his promise...
Did not even wait for his throne to be able to uphold he tried something.
Perhaps he'll say he had a concept of a plan but it was bad.
Donald Trump breaking a promise? Whatever will happen next?
I guarantee that the only promises Trump is going to keep are the ones that will reduce consumer projections, increase profits for corporations, and make the rich richer.
Also, race-based oppression leading to mass slaughter with governmental backing.
Which is what Americans voted for. Because eggs are a bit expensive.
And bring polio back to the US, because eggs are expensive.
If only everyone had some warning that he lies a lot!
Serial liar admits to lying. gasp. No wait, let me try again....ahem...gasp. yeah no. Just can't work up even a bit of fake shock.
As a matter of fact, grocery store prices will likely become far worse because of his tariffs and deportation policies.
It’s always the opposite with this cotton-headed ninny-muggins.
Even if he weren't evil and a liar, it's proven he's an imbecile of the lowest order only a tier above his supporters.
Right. Dingus probably has zero idea of not only how inflation works, but how the price gouging was being done by elites and being blamed on "inflation".
where are those shifty italians when you need them?
Regrettably, awaiting trial.
Yeah, no kidding.
Gonna have to get a soundboard app where I can load up that Samuel Jackson clip....anyone have good recommendations?
My advice: Buy large bags of beans and rice, you’re probably going to need them.

You counteract inflation by making sure people’s wages also change to reflect the new value of the dollar. Which they haven’t.
Prices don’t come down unless you enter a period of deflation. And if you thought inflation sucked, deflation sucks even more. Especially for a nation of people who hold a lot of debt. As the value of current grows, so does the value of your debt. If you have debt, your debt burden increases.
Oh look, the well-known con artist that you voted for in hopes that he would not con you has conned you! What a surprise!
Now we're all stuck with this scumbag. I hope you're all happy.
but what will happen to that stupid old lady he keeps yapping about ... will she buy just two apples instead of three?? someone think of the imaginary old lady !!
so he's not president yet and already backing out of his election pledges... we can only hope it'll piss off his electorate, but it won't, they'll just get angrier at opponents
I love that we treat politics as team sports. Even the use of the word opponent implies you aren't working toward common goals.
that's just the thing comservatives turned the entire system into game "us vs them" and liberal joimed in a bit later as they lack the capacity to redefine the game. Progressives get shunned by their respective wings and orthodoxy gets entrenched making it even more of "us vs them". I'd love to find a way to abolish parties and force representatives to actually represent all people from their electorate area... but I'm a dreamer.
They stopped working together decades ago.
They now work exclusively for their corporate overlords. The rest is a dog and pony show for the voters.
He didn't so anything of the sort. Does no one read the articles?
And the article reads like a Trump endorsement. Those quotes will sound great to your average American without context.
I for one never saw this coming.
