Summary
Trump admitted it will be difficult to lower consumer prices, despite campaign promises to reduce grocery, energy, and overall inflation costs.
Trump told Time that achieving price reductions is rare without major economic downturns.
During the campaign, Trump blamed rising costs on Democratic leadership and proposed tariffs as a solution, but economists warn tariffs could raise prices further.
Inflation, a key voter concern, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, though he has yet to outline a clear plan to deliver on his economic pledges.
Lmao fucking idiots, every clown that voted for him
Can we crosspost to Leopords Ate My Face on behalf of every Trump voter who cited the economy as their reason? Or not yet?
“But the leopard won’t eat my face”
Not yet, this is just walking back the lie. When his tariffs and deportation drives us into a 2nd great depression then is appropriate leopards eating faces moment.
Or didn’t vote!
Oh man tell me about it. The ones who voted Trump, yeah. But the vast majority that decided to stay home? I have less savory words for.
At least the ones who voted Trump cared. They may have been bamboozled, but they did show up.
Too many others just didn’t give a fuck about the direction of our country to take 15 minutes out of their day for an average of once a year.
Exactly. Like I’m going to feel whatever for the opposite side of the aisle here. But the fuckers who looked at the state of affairs outside and was like “nah, fuck it”. Oooo, that’s a whole other feeling that’s not pleasant one bit.
I do really hope that everyone understands that the default nature of the universe is to be undone, including the niche that humanity inhabits, and that are continued still being here state requires some input from us. Get up off your collective asses and do something for fucks sake. Somehow I don’t believe it’s a tall task to press a fucking button. Which one we can debate, but at least PUSH ONE OF THEM.
But don’t you see? Making the world an objectively worse place for everyone, especially marginalized people, and makes the harm to the biosphere more likely to be catastrophic and irreversible will totally load to it getting better. Everything works exactly like my maladaptive ADHD coping strategies from before my diagnosis and treatment - pushing things to the brim of annihilation will surely result in a better world and not just buckets of unnecessary human suffering and possible extinction.
