Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning added to OP 10/1/26

Yesterdays clown moment. This clown thinks China will pay the tariffs.

From his speech yesterday:

"gasoline prices are down by a lot" - they are slightly up

"just hit $1.98 in a lot of states" - The lowest in any state is $2.67

"Since I took office, the cost of eggs is down 87%." - False

If any leader in our country stood up and gave such blatantly false petrol prices there'd be war.

Even Trump's contrarian supporters here have gone deathly silent. This stuff and so much from the past 100 days is un-spinnable even for them.

Its mental how cheap their fuel is and these fcukers keep moaning about it. They're nearly getting a gallon for what we pay per litre and its still too much for them. The sense of entitlement is palpable. They went ahead an intentionally wrecked an economy in the vain attempt to reduce egg and fuel prices.

Flood the zone.

8.45 is bizarre and the guy gives me such weird vibes.

"I don't think that Americans want to give President Trump a chance because they like the way he looks on TV. Although, I think he's great on TV."

I'm surprised she just let him get away with claiming suppliers pay the tariffs. He even claimed that Amazon doesn't know how tariffs work.

It's nice that China is so kind it'll foot the bill the US is applying to Chinese imports - another bar of soap in mouth occasion. When Christmas arrives, who'll foot the bill for the seasonal lights?

Miriam O'Callaghan took it to a new level last night.

She had a Maga spokeswoman on who proudly proclaimed that the tariffs are working and that the government had taken in billions because of the tariffs since April 2nd.

Miriam didn't challange her and make the point that the reason is that it's an import tax and US citizens are being shook down for this money at the ports. And ultimately it will be passed on to their customers.

Miriam rarely asks the probing questions in any interview. She was useless when Brexit was happening too. I really miss Marian Finucane.

The problem with not challenging MAGA pronouncements is that the news outlet that regurgitates them appears to tacitly accepts those assertions as facts.

CNN aren't much better than Fox News or OANN. Trump needs the enemy within for his agenda and CNN fits that part perfectly while they benefit from the current situation.

Now, you see - you got it all wrong...

So, when the figures were great under Biden's administration, it was because the stock market anticipated great times under Trump.

And when figures are poor under Trump, that's Biden fault.

Do you see now?? 🤪
