Grocery prices are soaring, and Donald Trump is trying to hide that.

Which he can't do because everyone shops.

So he'll fall back to telling people that they are not experiencing what they are experiencing.

And get quite bent out of shape when contradicted further.

I see many more opportunities to deploy the National Guard.

From the cited sub-summary ...

A most excellent question.

imo, a President who actually cared about Americans would be totally involved in negotiating to resolve the shutdown.

But Pres Trump seems to be more concerned with destroying historic American landmarks and building a shrine to himself.

We have been changing our personal "market basket" every time we drive out to Aldi's, with a lot of theoretical economic adaptation to cheaper and cheaper prices.

You're not going to see Trumpers on this thread.

They must continue denying reality.

Trump tanked our economy that was humming along nicely before he moved his fat ass back into the WH.

He didn't keep his promise to "end inflation on Day 1," did he?
