    So if Trump fixes Biden’s bullshit and brings prices down next week or next month, because he got to work on it immediately (like he said he would) would you still call him a liar? My guess is you would, even though that would be very impressive. Why? Because you aren’t acting in good faith. You want to be right. You’re no patriot, you’re just a partisan whiner. When he lowers prices you’ll just say he didn’t do it on day 1 so he’s a liar. Like a schoolyard chump saying nanny nanny boo boo.

    What’s funny is we just saw Biden lie over and over to the whole damn country. He did exactly what he said he wouldn’t do. The whole country saw it. He lied for 4 ****ing years, about everything and then he lied about pardoning his son. Is that why you want to catch Trump in a lie so badly? Of course it is.

    So no, you aren’t arguing in good faith at all.

    No one wants the country to fail. Yes, some of us dislike Trump, but we also love our country. Our 1st amendment rights allow us to speak out against a government that we don't believe is working for all individuals. It's how change has happened in this country over our 200 years of existence.

    I want Trump to be a successful president from the terms of the economy and world peace. However, your definition of a successful economy may differ from my definition. I'd like for the income inequality gap to not continue to grow as wide as it has gotten. I'd like for every American to be able to live the American dream without getting into debt due to health issues, due to lack of funds for college, etc. So stop with this loving America BS. It's stupid. We don't have to hug and kiss a flag to show our patriotism. You guys don't have a ****ing ownership of it lol.

    “You guys”?
    See that’s your problem right there.

    And maybe you aren’t who I am referring to.

    But yes many here want the country to fail under Trump

    Fair enough, maybe some people are hoping to see failure.

    Yeah yeah I bet if Biden said it, it would be a “miscalculation” but since it’s Trump it’s a lie.

    Hilarious. He’s going to bring the egg and gas prices down and we will revisit all of this foolishness.

    Maybe you just really love eggs?

    I made a mean omelette this morning. Still had money for english muffins too. I never once criticized Biden for ****ing those egg prices up. I should’ve b****ed about the damn eggs in every post like a smart guy would do. I guess I don’t sweat the small stuff too much.

    Egg prices coming down is a given, unless the administration does some weird ****. I'm sure they will come back down to earth. I only buy a 12 pack every month or so and I usually buy the pasture raised ones which haven't really changed in price.

    Gas on the other hand, I do wonder. The US is already producing oil at a record pace and even opening up for new leases, companies don't seem overly eager to drill in others areas. How does Trump control OPEC from not collapsing the price of oil? I would imagine OPEC doing this action would temporarily force US companies to not drill as much for oil since at some point the cost of drilling for that oil is more expensive than what they are willing to swallow.

    He will find a way to incentivize drilling. You heard him. Drill baby drill. Honestly though I am curious too.

    Nope, you are assuming that about me, Trump said he would do it day one so it is lie, correct?

    And what if he doesnt, you tell me?

    No, grocery bills and fixing the economy was the main reason he won.

    But did you criticize him for inflation? Or high grocery bills? That's what many of your republican colleagues did. And to be fair that's the main reason he won. Its an important issue for Americans.

    Donald Trump said plenty about overturning an election and worked to do so. Thousands of supporters tried to overturn an election and were arrested for crimes committed during that effort. Trump pardoned them.

    So folks that are against that doesn't mean they are unAmeican.

    I never noticed anything about egg prices being up or down because I am the most price insensitive person in the world. I vaguely noticed that everything seems much more expensive than it used to be, and that things seem more expensive in my county's Publix than in the neighboring county.

    Stop showing us you live a life of privilege. That's okay. I don't notice things either, just grab whatever I want at the store. It's really nice. I feel for those that have to budget every cent though.

    Trump averaged 10 lies a day as POTUS, first time round.

    But somehow Biden's lying at a fraction of Trump's is a bridge too far???

    This is like the Rs are complaining that the Ds are using the exact same strategies they do. Just like.

    I don't think it's hoping for failure as much as expecting it.

    Just one week of Trump and we're already down to this:


    Working Americans Turn to Food Banks as Fed Inflation Battle Drags On
    US food banks are facing a wave of need driven by the cost-of-living crunch
    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/feat...ate-path?srnd=homepage-americas&sref=6KW4GEpD

    What's Trump's plan to get middle class Americans out of the food bank lines?

    Thus far it's "Raise commodity prices by destroying migrant labor & imposing tariffs"

    Somebody who knows economy please help me!

    I see this is the haunt for people who low key hated Bidenomics but couldn't admit it in that other clownshow thread and now resort to unironic trolling.

    it is a thread for Trumpflation!

    (it's in the title!)

    I guess that makes people upset.

    They should be upset.

    With Trump.
