Elections Trump not yet in office but the backsliding has already begun...

I have no idea what his good policies are tbh. I hope he does make things better for people. I don't believe he will but I'm more than happy to be wrong.
 
A presidential candidate lied to get elected, more news at 11!
This was the central issue of the election though, was it not? All sorts of American voters overlooked Trump’s myriad of terrible qualities because “the economy”—by which they meant lowering prices (as wages are already up significantly, unemployment low, inflation low, stock market good, etc.).

We pointed out that they weren’t coming down much if at all, now Trump agrees that they aren’t, and your view is “oh well, politicians lie all the time”?

It was a central issue that he was lying about being able to lower prices? Or that people wanted lower prices?

Do you disagree that politicians lie all the time to get elected?
 
Remember this thread?

I said consistently that prices, overall, never come down, as people were blaming Biden for the continued high prices. I would post the Consumer Price Index, over time,showing they only really move up, and even if you can impact singular items and get them down, it is only short term.

The way to counter inflation is with increased incomes outpacing the inflation.

So magats need to now shift in the way Trump is shifting and say they never really believed what they were saying prior about Trump being able to bring them down by 'drill baby drill' and any other method he was claiming.


The good news though is Trump is not backsliding on all promises. He has reaffirmed those Corporate Tax cuts are still a priority and you can bet, if nothing else, that promise will be kept no matter how much they explode the deficit.

Trump like all politicians talks about what he wants to do.

However since we don't and cannot ( for the good of everyone) elect a dictator he is limited to what he can do.

Also they all talk shit.
 
Anyone with a brain knows Dump isn't really going to come through on much. However, to be fair, that's true of almost every politician and the promises they make.

This.

Getting mad at a politician for not keeping their promises is like demanding your money back from a hooker because she faked her orgasm.

Hate the Game, not the Player. ;)

Except that is NOT what Trump kept saying. His statement was not aspirational or that 'he would try'. He was crystal clear he would bring prices back down and it would not take him long to do it.

In the same way he was clear about his corporate tax cuts.

Funny that not being a dictator will not stop him accomplishing one of those two commitments.

I love the complete 180 from magat stans. “If he said he didn’t mean it, and if he meant it, he wouldn’t do it”. Fuckers literally pretzels backing their rich, elite papa.

Still better than having a woman in charge.
