Dude, nearly 40% of Americans don't have $500 in savings. It's not crazy to suggest an uptick in energy or food is going to hurt that segment.

1. Don’t use the word dude and try to then sound reasonable.
2. No one has had $500 in savings since the 80’s.
3. I didn’t say the uptick in prices didn’t affect people SOME. I argued that he was saying YEARS since families had to go to the food banks. Hence painting Trump as the bad man when inflation was higher just last President.
4. Go work on your reading comprehension

Was Biden good...no. Is this version of Trump good....no. Both can be true. Trump is worse than a tax and spend liberal.

Cajunangelle is one of the biggest Trump supporters on here. But, she is also pretty in tune with the common man's economic plight.

Biden is long gone at this point. Trump was elected to solve the issues that Biden created. He hasn't done it. America First has been a failure.

Common man’s PLIGHT PAHAHAHAHA. Again not saying the uptick in gas prices haven’t hurt people. I’m saying to paint the picture as this is something that hasn’t happened in 20 years is dumb when the numbers show it was worse less than 3 years ago.

Trump spends at a rate that is higher than Obama and right with Biden. His followers won't admit it though.

Trumpflation up due to his Iranian war of choice. All of this could have been avoided.

Not worried about this. Just give me my UBI and 50 year mortgage and everything will be fine.

There's a pattern.

Trump creates problem
Trump fixes problem
Trump is seen as a hero for solving.

Nobody is saying that Trump hasn't lowered inflation from the Biden years and for the most part, course corrected the disaster that was sleepy/heels.

But for all the good Trump does/has done, he has way too many unforced errors.

Inflation was down in the low 2's for most of his latest term, the BBB is giving massive tax refunds, gas was in the low 2's in a lot of places, all great things.

But what does he do with that amazing foundation, decides to go get involved in Iran, doing Israels bidding, and drive up inflation and gas prices. He is his own worst enemy and always seems to do a great job of stubbing his damn toe.
