I’ve got Trump Phone V2 now ready for deposits.
Trump is absolutely correct as long as his bootlickers keep voting for him.
The Russians and Chinese are laughing their balls off at the USA.
We haven’t starved to death yet so no we are in no distress at all.
Donald Trump’s the kinda guy who considers World Hunger over because he just had a Big Mac. It’s not that he’s ignorant to other people’s suffering, he just doesn’t give a shit.
And sometimes the distress inflicted is absolutely intentional, so he does give a shit sometimes but only in the worst way.
Oh he’s also very ignorant of it. But that’s because he doesn’t considers those people to be people. So he doesn’t give it a thought
Yet the truth exists on all Gas billboard signs throughout, and across, the country.
I actually met one of those “gas prices are lower now with trump than with biden, it’s only $3 a gallon” maga morons. best part to show how delusional this idiot was? we were both at a gas station filling up gas that cost $5 a gallon cash ($5.13 if card).
“You still have a minute amount of wealth I need to extract! You’re not broke enough yet!”
They always talk about “creating” wealth and “making the pie bigger.” Well, it’s time for them to do that instead of squeezing everyone more.
it’s literally not possible
It’s very possible but nobody who has the power to do it actually wants to. Important distinction.
Americans: “we are broke.”
Trump: “no, I am not.”
This right here. If he personally doesn’t feel it, then you don’t have it.
When you put it that way we as Americans collectively shit our pants every day.
“We can’t afford to live!”
“Wrong.”
“I basically print money, what is the problem again?”
“People come up to me, big strong men with tears in their eyes they say ‘sir, we don’t have any money’. I tell them not to worry because we have these big, beautiful machines that print so much money, as much of it as you want, can you believe it? Its incredible. I’d never seen anything like it.”
he will do anything to not face the music of epstein files, even if america is down in the dumps.
We don’t have to be… We could just start taking out Billionaires and taking their wealth and assets through physical force. It certainly looks like a more attractive option by the day to me.
The US is a financial sovereign. It has the monopoly over its currency: You don’t need the rich ! Govments within a financial sovereign can decide/agree in congress to pay for things they want with the only limit being that the thing/service is available in that currency. It’s called MMT, as american as apple pie, and no MMT is not communist.
Why do the rich hate MMT? Because they get paid risk free interest by offering the guvment their money.
It’s worse than that. He doesn’t care if you’re broke or not.
Sometimes I feel like they’re fucking up the economy intentionally. I notice that it’s always enough to fuck over everyone who isn’t rich but never enough to screw up the stock market. Maybe they just want to get rid of the middle class while attempting to make themselves impossible to vote out.
it will never get reported on fox, or any right wing media, sine the inbreds/voters will never hear of it.
I think his internal answer is “it doesn’t matter” but the narcissism gives him just enough energy to continue to gaslight, obstruct, and project to keep the attention flowing.
It’s worse than that, no one (well that he doesn’t hang with) are even people to Trump. They’re devices to toy with and to his delight and give him power over a soon to be known as an ex great natiion. We can quibble about the great part but no denying they were a respected entity, now they’re a laughing stock. Least they paid lip service to being better before.
He cares superficially if people in general are broke, because then be can’t grift them as easily, but he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about individuals
Trump: you’re not broke enough. Not yet.
We live in a company town now. Every cent that comes in goes right back out. No savings. No retirement. Our paychecks are picked apart by fees, middlemen, subscriptions to things we used to own, corporations forcing us into choose to pay for everything or figuratively live in a cave disconnected from society. CoL and inflation increases that pay never keeps up with, working more hours, harder, with less people, for stagnant pay, and never getting a break or vacation.
Broke doesn’t mean living in a box under a bridge. You can still have the trappings of modern life, but be a complete slave to the grind with no end in sight.
We live in a company town now. Every cent that comes in goes right back out
St Peter don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go.
I owe my soul to the company store.
History repeats.
Americans: We’re broke.
Trump: No, I’m not.
This is literally what’s going on in his brain
We said Americans, not Russian plants.
