Coffee is up. Eggs are up. Gas is up. Everything seems to be going up.

Hmmmm.... I thought I was told by our con man chief saviour of humanity was going to fix all this shit his first week in office? So why is the price of EVERYTHING GOING UP? Hmmmm.... More lies? What is the real reasoning behind this lie.

Makes me wonder if he really knows what that means. (of course he does) Funny how many of his conned voters are now getting pissed about his inability to produce results he promised. Some, however, are making excuses. It's coming, its coming. blah blah blah. I find it strange that these type of people are the really hopeless people and still think Trump will fix it all.

Lies Lies Lies. And now he wants to buy out all federal employees? Seriously? I don't know how much more of these stupid, well crafted lies I can take. He really wants that dictatorship.

The man makes good on his most evil promises but yet ones that are beneficial, he doesn't follow true.

What's he good for? Yeah, make America great again ...

He's already squandered Biden's growing economy. Has not even been a damn two weeks.

Lowering prices was always an empty promise he couldn't possibly accomplish.

That's just the tariff, factor in the GREED and it goes up 35%. That will do absolute wonders for the building industry along with Trump, and P2025 wanting to end the home mortgage interest tax write off.

I've seen what stupid shit can do to crash that industry. I went through it during the Reagan years.

The tariff gets paid by the importer, but it really is money out of the buyer's pocket.
The tariff goes straight into government coffers - the same coffers Trump considers his own to do with what he wants.

It will strangle the economy, driving consumer prices up like that.

Justice matters.

The DOW just dropped 300 points at the news about tariffs on the way — very, very soon. Yes, HE did that.

Feb 1

the day Trump 2.0 was inaugurated, marked the point when America could no longer consider itself a first world country.

It will be a day marked on calendars for ever more, as the day of ultimate infamy.
It will be commemorated yearly with sackcloth and ashes, dirge music on all TV and radio stations, with gangs of people engaged in self-flagellation roaming the streets.
Coffins will be paraded on the streets. The words 'Democracy' painted on their sides.

Crowds will gather at the gates of the White House intending to throw rotten eggs and tomatoes but alas, the shops were bare.

Calendars will be printed with a thick black border around that date, and people will lament 'Oh why, why did we let this happen?'

Much was lost that day. More than anyone could have imagined.
