The only thing that sucks for me right now is beef prices. I'm not blaming Trump for that. Everything else for me is better than 2+ years ago.

....or that's how I feel.

Just bought a spiral ham for $23 and they threw in a 12lb turkey for free. It was at your HEB, and catfish filets for 7.47/lb, and thick cut pork chops for about $2 a piece. Beef too high, even on sale, but usually get the prime top sirloin for $7.50/lb, which is reasonable, although today they were priced at around $14/lb, so we passed.

That might be an issue. America First is not MAGA and likewise MAGA is definitely not America First.

List all of the things you want Trump to do by himself that he hasn’t already done with little to no help from Republicans. They are too busy trying to release the Epstein files

You're wasting your time. Any criticism of Trump is off-limits on this board. The majority will support Trump no matter what. It's more of a fan club than it is a discussion board at this point.

You admit that the economy is still hurting people (which I agree with) even though you also agree a Trump has
done basically all anyone could do to fix the problem and it will just take time. Yet
You blame Trump for it and not the people that originally caused the problem which was the Biden administration………..make it make sense

I'd like to see Trump go Teddy Roosevelt and start busting up the cartels big corporations have in each industry. The Ag industry is dominated by a few powerful ag corps, bust them up to create real competition and you'll see food prices go down.

Trump could go industry by industry and do the same thing, wrecking the grip the corporations have on this country.

If you don't things are better under Trump then you are either delusional, a moron, or both!

Inflation is still at 3 percent

People don't just feel financially strapped. They are financially strapped.

I am not saying Trump has not done enough or needs to do more. I am saying Trump needs to stop telling people how they feel about issues is not correct. The Dims tried this for years and got whacked in the elections. How Trump doesnt see this playing out is sad

The interview I watched, that's not exactly what he said. He was being asked about the H1 visas and was speaking about a new company building a manufacturing site to produce a product. Folks who already are trained to make the product would need to be brought over to start production and train new employees.

His reference to 2022 is interesting b/c in the first half of the year, it was in fact at $5/gallon national average but tapered off to close out the year around $3.00
