Donald Trump has gone silent on working class cost of living issues
Donald Trump has gone silent on working class cost of living issues
Now that Trump has been elected, he says nothing about working class cost of living issues and many of his statements are outlandish and disrespectful.
Summary
After campaigning on promises to reduce costs for the working class, Donald Trump has largely gone silent on cost-of-living issues since his election.
In a recent interview, he admitted he could not restore grocery prices to 2019 levels without a recession.
While gas prices and groceries are already falling, Trump's policies focus on government cuts and HB-1 visa expansions, which may harm his base.
Instead of addressing working-class concerns, he has turned to controversial ideas like buying Greenland or reclaiming the Panama Canal, drawing global criticism.
Who could have ever seen this coming?
The Democrats are to blame, of course.
They opened the door wide open for Trump.to walk through. I blame them.
Running an 82 year old man who has noticeable cognitive decline and swapping candidates without a primary were very avoidable icebergs the Dems steered into.
Edit: the downvotes are interesting. It's not a popular message, but he very obviously wasn't suitable to run. He wasted all of our collective time to make a convincing argument.
IKR? How is this news.
What? No! I really thought THIS time he was our man. I know last time was a free for all for rich people and cronies, but this time would be different!!
Of course he has. This is what bourgeoisie narcissists do. He got the vote from the suckers and morons who support him. He got their money. He's now in a position of absolute power. He got everything he wanted. Unless he needs another disposable goon squad, what use does he have for them?
Oh weird the proven idiot liar was stupidly lying and we believed him.
The stupid US voters copied the idiot Russians, Germans, Chinese and Japanese from the 1920's and 30's. The MAGAts are completely clueless about the shit that will hit the fan.
Just wait until his tariff plan solves all the issues. /s
But he promised he would make us richer! That's what he said. "The tariffs will make us richer!"
Narrator: What they didn't understand is that "us" referred to himself and his friends. This is what happens with poor a educational system.
I wish he'd go silent forever
Working class still has to pay for the rampant inflation caused by fully forgiven PPP loans, Covid checks sent out to every household, tax cuts for the wealthy during the previous Trump term, and 4.5 TRILLION in clandestine bailouts given to big banks in 2019 for bad mortgage backed security loans.
On September 17th, 2019, two days before President Trump signed an executive order to fast-track flu vaccine development due to a ‘potential pandemic flu outbreak’, the Fed started issuing trillions to 24 financial institutions. More precisely, such funds were issued to the same banks previously bailed out in 2008. Out of the $4.5 trillion in loans for Q4 2019, the bulk of it went to Goldman Sachs (103 instances), JPMorgan Chase (197 instances), Deutsche Bank (200 instances), and Citigroup (143 instances).

Thank you, DogPeePoo, for this counter to the common bullshit narrative.
You’re welcome.
It’s pretty much fucked. We are headed for Weimer Republic type hyper inflation. The 2008 financial crisis never ended, it’s been a can kicking fest and the Fed bailouts happen more and more frequently without any attempt at course correction for solvency.
Promises made, promises kept!*
~* = Offer only valid for Broligarchs who give Donald Trump cash~
No way.
Is it time to bring the guillotines out yet?
Trump going silent is indeed newsworthy. If only he would go silent on all the other topics as well.
Surely he wasn't giving empty promises, right? I mean he's got such a high level of perceived authenticity, this is hard to believe. Must be fake news, for absolutely no reason I can provide evidence to support.
What did you expect from right-wing populist lol. P.S. As there is political polarization in US as they say, keep in mind that bad actors like Russia try to do "divide and rule" while Trump presidency. That's how Russians (almost) always win.
But the price of eggs!
This was as predictable as the tides.
Conservatives have been stumped by tides for a while now.
In a recent interview, he admitted he could not restore grocery prices to 2019 levels without a recession
His tariffs will bring that recession pretty quickly, so he may accidentally fulfill his promise.
Just like he's gone silent on dear ol' Rudy? Who could have seen this coming?
Donald don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuck
Well I am just shocked, SHOCKED I say! Well...not that shocked
Does anyone have a summary of all his "on day one" promises?
"But, but he speaks for us. He understands us. How can this be?"
The guy in the thumbnail looks like he's related to John Goodman.
Yeah it's totally going to change in 2 weeks, totally. He's totally going to listen to anyone other than the people that give him seven figures plus of money. /s
“day one”
