Costs rarely go back down once prices are raised unless it’s a commodity like fuel.

Best you can hope for is Trumps economy grows and wages catch up to inflation as inflation slows. But you’re not going to see a deflationary economy (which would actually be bad)

We had this for four years with Trump already.


While true, he's not really talking about the cult members IMO. The cult members weren't enough to elect Trump last time around...he's going to need new voters, and I think he's going to get them, but I think that's really who the OP is referring to.

Progressives are the most vile humans alive.

Create every problem in this country, then act like it is your enemy's fault while mocking them.

You really are a sick piece of shite.

You are the same filth that was cheering an economic collapse during Trump's term just so it would hurt his voters. The best economy in years, for EVERYONE (including minorities you claim to love), and now we are here after a crisis you helped create and promote.

Another thread where a piece of shite groomer is spiking the football on their enemy.

He is doing what Obama did. Spike the football after destroying everything in their path.

Progressives do not create, they only destroy. They once again destroyed a great economy for political reasons, and are now sitting back waiting on the doers to unfrick it again.

This is similar to Obamacare being a disaster, but it was on Trump and their enemies to fix it.

Trump’s biggest accomplishment was no new* wars.

In this aspect, Trump was a vast improvement over the war-mongering policies of the Obama, Bush and Clinton regimes.



*Of course, covert and illicit wars — as in Syria, Yemen & Ukraine — by our nation’s unaccountable shadow state continued unabated.

It's depressing that more people don't understand these things. I suppose it's easier to blame some faraway federal government if your standard of living has dropped, but if your wages aren't at least keeping up with inflation that's on you and your employer.

Your boss is not a "victim" of inflation who gets to use it as an excuse for employee belt-tightening. That's backwards thinking. Your wage is a price, and it's subject to inflation.

Even if we got the perfect man into the presidency (and Trump is far from that he’s way too liberal and basically just wants to do what he thinks is popular ) the rest of the government is too rotten to change anything. We saw that the four years Trump was there

Bidenflation occurred in 2021 and you are trying to blame Trump. Trillions of pork dollars didn't do shite but weaken the color and cause inflation, but Democrats, RINO's, and bureaucrats all got wealthier.

Need 16 years of non-establish rule and gutting of the deepstate to get our spending under control and strengthen the dollar.

It’s not pathetic it’s reality. The country has moved in a steady left wing direction for my entire life regardless of who the president has been. Boy I wonder why ? Cuz they’re not deciding fricking anything. The presidential race is nothing but a pageant
