Summary
An AP-NORC poll reveals skepticism about Donald Trump’s ability to lower costs like groceries, housing, or healthcare in his first year, with only 2 in 10 Americans expressing strong confidence. Confidence is slightly higher for job creation (3 in 10).
Even among Republicans, less than half are very confident in his ability to address healthcare or food costs.
Health care remains a weak spot, with only 16% of Americans confident he can lower costs.
It’s difficult to comprehend how anyone can think that Trump can lower the price of anything for anyone in any period of time.
And he explained to them how he was going to raise prices and taxes for the vast majority.
If they could read, I’m sure that would’ve offended them mightily…
And here I am, KNOWING he won’t lower prices, BECAUSE HE FUCKING SAID HE WASN’T GOING TO, AS SOON AS THE VOTES WERE IN!?¡
So why did they vote for him…
Oh right, they hate women, trans people, and immigrants…
About forget the ones who were ignorant, stupid, or trying to prove a point only to have it backfire like we all told them it would.
Only that it probably won’t backfire much on them, not as much as on everyone else
Some of you might die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make!
Spoiler alert: He won’t do anything except enrich himself and his toadies.
Anyone who thinks he’ll do it at all is delusional; he’s gotten $200 million in bribes to increase corporate profits, not lower them.
I’m stocking up on some of my hobby supplies specifically because I think he’ll raise prices, like he’s literally said he would multiple times.
Why reminds me that title of
ok, but he totally fixed the whole palestine situation /s
Literally had someone try to tell me this the other day when the ceasefire news came out… That didn’t last.
I mean, glassing Palestine is a solution. One might even say a final solution.
Buy the foreign goods you want now folks.
After the election he said himself that he wouldn’t be able to!
The only thing the bastard has ever lowered is my hope for democracy.
At this point I’m just hoping he doesn’t plunge us into The Great Depression 2: Electric Breadaloo
So great we stuck it to bLuEMaGa on that one single issue amiright single issue voters?
Lol, I don’t see how this won’t be significantly worse than that. In fact, when the economy is down, that’s when it’s the easiest for the richest people to enrich themselves further, buying companies, properties, and things when people are forced to sell for bottom dollar. And all those people are little baby birds chirping at big daddy trump to destroy the economy, so they can buy up everything, thinking they can recover the economy and eat astronomical profits.
That’s the plan anyway.
Too bad they didn’t think about it before voting.
Edit: I’d like to add that I will bet groceries for a month that they don’t go down at any point in his term.
And yet millions voted for him claiming it was because he would fix the economy. 🤔
To be fair, that reason is only what they claimed.
Oh I know. Plenty of them it was more about not voting for that n-- bitch. But they knew they could call her that out loud, so they did it in their head and claimed it was about the economy.
Please denote when you’re quoting someone else with quotes. Unless you want to have said “n-- bitch”
If someone really wants to think that was what I was saying and couldn’t figure it out from the context, I honestly do not care.
Yeah uh deflation is actually considered very bad, not sure where people are getting this expectation from.
Wealth redistribution is good.
But nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
