Trump ran on lowering costs. Five quarters in, groceries, gas, and rent are still up — and his policies have made relief harder to find.

      Although he effectively got rid of the penny. I’ll give him the tiny amount of credit due there.

          The least of his crimes, which more than overcomes the killing of the penny. Was just giving him that miniscule credit anyway. heh

        I like the penny. Killing the penny is just one reason I hate him.

        Daylight Savings Time is another matter.

    All of you realize he doesn’t know what groceries are, right? He literally doesn’t understand the definition of the word. As far as he understands, food just magically appears prepared shortly after he wants it. He knows food is in the grocery store but thinks it’s tightly controlled by strict ID checking.

        No, the food comes from his servants who get it from wherever it comes from. That is why he likes room temperature mcdonalds.

    Of course he did, he’s virtuosically incompetent. No matter what he does, the result is always the opposite of his objective. He’s that stupid.

      There’s one assumption you seem to have that’s wrong.

      Trump only ever has one objective. More money and more attention for Trump.

      He doesn’t care about anything else, even though he often claims otherwise.

    You have it all wrong guy’s In trumptopia everything is upside down and backwards and opposite all at the same time. Yes, it’s confusing to the smart, sane people and that’s the point.

    His dumbfuck base thinks everything is all hunkydory and WE’RE the deranged ones.

      4chan (back when I visited that sight a few years ago) referred to him as “god emperor”, so yes.

    Worse, or better? His friends who dabble in the quaint art of running grocery conglomerates don’t complain when they call to bribe him.
