Raise. He meant RAISE your prices by 50%. Because everything that comes out of Donald’s mouth is the polar opposite of what he says.

And he said gas prices are going to drop like a rock the day after the midterms, ( probably on our head ) and if we vote for him everybody gets $5000 . I’m going to keep mine with the last $5000 we got. (If I can only remember which rock I hid it under for safekeeping, almost 1/4 done checking my backyard that I named the quarry . Too bad all them damn rocks look alike!

What may seem like lies may just be stupidity or non-educated positions. Yes, it is a fact, our country's sad reality, that Donald lies - and lies a lot. But in some rambling remarks he shows just plain ignorance. We all know he was a bad student from grade one through college, and as we listen or read his remarks (they are never speeches) we instantly know he is just plain ignorant of the facts.

Mary, your criminal uncle is 100th percentile stupid. As I have said many times before, he makes George W Bush look like George W Einstein.

Does anyone here think that Trump will not last his entire term?

So, let's assume that we each get the $5,000 Trump promised if Repubs win. When you break down the word "assume" it means making an ASS out of U and ME. Because this payment is illegal. It has not been approved by Congress and it will add about a trillion more to the debt. Now consider this.....add up your rent/ mortgage increases, increases in food and utility bills, increases in Healthcare premiums and out-of-pocket expenses, along with increases in clothing, and other day-to-day expenses, and tell me what the amount is. I guarantee you it is much more than $5,000. So why would anyone put the idiots who authorized all of these increases back in office for a meer $5,000, even if it could be done. As always, Trump has no concept of math. He floats these numbers and thinks we're stupid.

Scott Bessent really always is inappropriately smiley. My biggest fear now isn’t the economy. It’s that trump is providing the tipping point for another mass extinction.

It's easy to see how he bankrupted himself so many times when he didn't have the government piggy bank to draw from. Now he's like a kid who can have everything he wants on someone else's dime, and he wants everything he sees. Any bets on what the deficit is going to be when this clown leaves office??

What a sad, sorry mess we have for a government right now....all three branches included. Can we sink any lower??

Thank you, Mary, for another great essay.....

The self proclaimed stable genius never heard of affordability until he took office in 2025? That should tell you how genius and stable he is. F47!
