“Americans must learn to adjust to a lower standard of living,” he told the crowd before suggesting a specific solution to prices hiked by his tariffs, which he continues to insist are a success. “You can give up certain products. You can give up pencils…You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice.”
Trump thinks the economic problem is pencil addicts and spoiled little girls. The guy is a mental ruin.
The guy is horribly detached from the reality of normal people, like everyone who’s born into wealth (or has been rich long enough to forget what it was like before). Remember that “how much does milk cost” thing?
The guy is a mental ruin too, of course, which doesn’t help.
So are all his voters.
Hopefully, this time even his brainwashed moron voters will be able to see through his bullshit lies.
The problem is that even if at some level they realize this, self-deceit and denial is an easier way to deal with the feeling that maybe their whole world view has been a bad mistake, than admitting their whole world view has been a bad mistake and changing it.
Too bad calling for a UN fair election monitoring/protection team is not a realistic or useful action.
In his defense I do think little girls are spending way too much money on K Pop Demon Hunter stuff… But that definitely isn’t the issue with the economy. It’s just everywhere. (I’m a teacher. Can we ban Six Seven and Bro as well?)
