It was pretty amazing how MAGA was bitching about the price of eggs and gas, while at the same time they were spending more money on frivolous crap than ever.

Trump lied??

No one could have guessed that!

Fifteen seconds after he takes his hand off the bible the economy will suddenly be the best it's ever been, based on the same numbers.

Trump must be looking at the high homelessness numbers. The number made homeless by Bidenomics were unimportant until recently.

Or Trump could be looking at the prices of prescription drugs, which have ballooned even more than the high rate of Bidenflation.

Prices of prescription drugs fell under both of the last two administrations.

But that's in the real world, not in Trumpville.

What I've learned about you over this enormous length of time is that you have a steely-sharp understanding of what an incompetent fool Donald is. He's already washed his hands of things like hamburger, egg, or drug prices.

You're here to jeer. There's not much else to you.

Trump is the only president in the last 80 years with net job losses during his presidency.

Oops.

What's the over/under on how long it takes Epstein's bankruptcy-prone wingman to best the 15% unemployment rate he racked up during his first putrid presidency?

Thank goodness Trump has been reelected. The very second he's inaugurated the economy will be the best it's ever been and the border will be completely secure.

Is the putrid orange pedo going to release GQP heartthrob Derek Chauvin after taking office?
