For the past two years, Donald Trump has spread fear about the state of the United States and championed himself as the only man capable of saving the country from itself. Only he could bring down the price of groceries and gas. Only he could fix the broken health care system. Only he could fix the broken immigration system. Only he could end the wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East.
Now that the voters have drunk the Kool-Aid, the jig is up. The grift is over and the prize of the presidency is won. But will the buyers of the golden sneakers have buyer’s remorse? I suspect that for all but the most cult-following MAGA lemmings, the answer to that question is yes.
Despite two years of constant finger-pointing at the Biden administration for rising grocery prices that were actually decreasing during that time, since the election, Trump has gone dead silent on the issue of working class cost of living issues. His only comment on grocery prices was during his interview with Time magazine for his man of the year article in which he admitted that there isn’t much he can do to bring grocery prices back down to the levels of 2019. Economically, the only thing that will do that is a strong recession that no one wants. He has said virtually nothing about the cost of gasoline, in large part because the prices were already falling to four-year lows before the election and have continued to fall since.

If Americans suddenly realize they’ve been taken for fools, that’s why they have their precious 2nd Amendment.
They always bring it up when the issue of gun control comes up for any reason, but they never actually use the 2nd Amendment for what it was original intended, incl. removing dangerous leaders. Trump is the first true, crystal-clear use case.
That must mean most Americans still haven’t understood they’ve been took, or they really dig fascism even at their own expense.
Not the first. Remember Nixon?
Hey!!! Whoa!!! That’s not fair at all!
…you forgot about that guy on the roof in PA who missed by inches.
Did we ever learn anything about that guy? It seemed like a huge unsolved mystery.
The media machine didn’t wanna stay on that one though, I imagine cause they didn’t wanna give people ideas. Another attempt happened a little later but it was even less successful.
I did not. In fact, I keep wondering why this guy’s memory hasn’t been elevated to Luigi status. For some really odd reason I can’t fathom, he’s been forgotten almost immediately after his attempt.
I guess he’ll be remembered when the dark age America is entering finally ends.
Because trump survived.
You remember John Wilks Booth, and Lee Harvey Oswald. But nobody remembers the guy who shot reagan.
Aspiring musician John Hinckley? Ya know, he can’t seem to book a venue anywhere for some reason.
Yeah but the weird difference is, the media and people talked about the guy who shot Reagan for weeks. The guy who shot Trump fell into complete oblivion pretty much within hours. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Because he wasn’t successful, over half the voting country supported the person he tried to assassinate, and he wasn’t trying to make a political statement. The evidence pointed to him just chasing clout and going for the most prominent target he could. He looked up several different rallies as well.
I mean, he failed, is why he’s not lionized
So did Stauffenberg. That doesn’t make him any less of a hero.
Those same ones who cry 2nd amendment are the ones who got taken.
Unfortunately, the ones who told these idiots that they were idiots are also the same people who want to “take away their guns” and aren’t generally the type to use the 2nd amendment as it was intended. :/
