Who is making a fortune? It certainly isn't me

You are the one making [other people] a fortune

He has DOUBLED the national debt, but he thinks we're making a fortune. He's like the guy who thinks he's rich because he can buy anything he wants with a credit card.

How can a non-wealthy trump supporter hear this and continue to support him? He's pissing in your fucking face.

He calls them stupid and they cheer.

They like it when he pisses in their face

This isn't even the first time he's said something like this...

I'm saying both administrations ignored economic pressure felt by the people they rule over, not that the situations are 100% the same.

Biden successfully lowered inflation from the ridiculously high levels they were at the end of trump's first term. What are you talking about?

Gas prices have what, doubled under trump? For zero reason other than he decided to bomb another country. And he's bragging about all the money he's pillaging from it? When did Biden do that?

Also, is Biden running for office in this electoral cycle? Is he in the room with us now? "But mah joe biden!" is one of the most bumbling chucklefuck responses a person could possibly have right now, today, to any of the stupid shit that trump is saying on the campaign trail right now.

I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but... holy shit dude, wake the fuck up.

You are not included in the "we" that's "making a fortune", trump voters. You are the we who are paying for trump to rob you, still lose money in the end and call it profit.

I’m done with “brainwashed”. They’re fuckin morons.

I agree there is nothing to wash there. Their mind has been a tabula rasa from the beginning and they will parrot anything.

Gas prices should have nothing to do with governments, only markets. Gas prices being high is a byproduct of government interventions, or poor market choices, or both.

National debt growing at record rates, 99% of the population is having a harder time affording stuff, but that 1% is making bank. Especially the ones not afraid to jump into the new “morality” where bribes are ok

The already wealthy are getting richer but not the majority from this. This same pattern happens with the right-wing politics all over and in history, it's not new, yet the rubes keep choosing it and are worse off each time for it. Keep hurting yourselves.

And still in most states, the elections are "neck and neck."

Thanks, media. You got your exciting and profitable horse race election. We got fascism.

In 1987 I got mugged in East St. Louis and when the guy ran away I shot him in the back four times and took everything he had on him. When I got on my greyhound an hour later, the cops still hadn't shown up, and it never even made a police blotter anywhere. The only record of that he ever existed is the knife he threatened me with, which I use to whittle toys for my grandkids.

Omg, me too!!!

He doesn't mean we the people he means him and his family.

they're stupid, a stupid person is one that does things to hurt others even if it hurts themselves. Trump's not stupid, his supporters are, as long as he keeps hurting the people they dislike, he can keep pissing and they'll cheer.

They are indeed, but somewhere humanity failed them. You are not born a moron.

citation needed ? people are born with many things eg diabetes, who now go on to survive. You have asserted facts with no evidence.

I used to think a decent education etc would help but I see no evidence of that.

Critical thinking needed?

Obviously there's many conditions people can have and some people are better learners than others.

Moron isnt meant literally, we are discussing the red voters who blindly follow Trump, that's the context. People who were born into poor states, into poor families, who didnt get the chance to have good education. They became morons. Obviously babies are fucking morons by the definition of it. Whats with these comments completely ignoring the context????

Sue me, I like comparing and contrasting consecutive administrations. Almost like there's historical insight to gain.

And while the inflation was a result of Trump's policies, it still peaked halfway through Biden's term. People blamed it on Biden. That's just the electorate acting like they always have done. And it really didn't the admin did a shit job of communicating - well, a lot, but - that they were trying to bring it down. Cost of living polled very high as a concern going into Nov 2024... as it is now.

He said "we". That doesn't mean the United States is making a fortune.
