What’s going on with him that his press conferences are now being held with him sitting at the resolute desk? He’s not standing, he’s not at a podium. I get it, the tariffs are bad and our costs are going up, but we all knew that, ( well those of us who voted against him). How debilitated is he?
Elon told him he looks more presidential sitting there. That’s how Elon came to stand behind a very presidential looking Trump during PM Musk’s news conference.
Many people simply miss the point here: he just doesn’t care whether prices go up, the debt increases, kids get vaccinated, trans people exist, etc. His only concern is consolidating power, and raking in money. And all the other Republicans are along for the ride.
Another bold faced lie. Prices don’t go down. He is doing nothing to help this economy or stop inflation or keep us safe.
I have never felt more unsafe in America than watching what he is doing with the greediest men ever imagined.
Then he told Collins, immediately after, that he didn't say that. No push back, of course. Keep in mind, that not only is every word out of his mouth a lie but every number is 5x what it actually is. It is very easy to sound very confident in a press conference when you are not bound to the truth.
Same as Brexit. The benefits are always “just around the corner”. 9 years later, everything still sh*t. Funny how it’s the same people involved in both.
“Our country is going to be flooded with jobs”. Might be accurate. Floods aren’t good and maybe having a shit ton of jobs but deporting and firing all the people that do them leads to a damaging flood.
No, it is now flooded with job seekers - all of those federal/USAID employees that are being laid off. Very highly skilled and highly educated job seekers.
Q: How does freezing $2b worth of grains bought from American farmers through US Aid “help farmers” ….I just heard multiple stories of farms actually closing due to frozen USAID loans. How do you respond to that?
"Prices will go up... but also down" is even more delusional than "I think we're going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think that at some point that's going to sort of just disappear"
The term "short term" is here expressed in the terms of monarchy. In that he means, "perhaps when Barron's fifth term in office is complete prices will start to fall".
He will continue to push the goal posts, his cult will be fine with it until a boiling point, some time around the mid-terms, where the rigged elections become the news again...
Maybe he's counting on deportation and a million deaths from unavailable or unaffordable medical needs to create a bunch of job openings needed to be filled
Let me get this straight: unemployment rate is 4%. Immigrants are being moved to Guantanamo in a concentration camp. Jobs will be flooding in…. Who will be left to occupy those jobs?
Trump on Ukraine, during press conference with Japanese PM: "The only thing a bullet can hit is a human body, and the human body dies as soon as it gets hit."
This guy just has no idea what he is talking about … it’s so frustrating! The inflation reduction act … actually helped farmers but now Trump is forcing them out of business so corporate ag can swoop in and take over. Spray our food with anything they want and have migrant prison camps work them.
after job losses. Increases in inflation....isolation after insulting allies....violating 5 eyes...I wouldn't trust the U.S. for shit let alone buy anything American made...the U.S. has become a bully....
With record low unemployment and the fear of gutting the ACA, who's going to risk leaving a job with so much uncertainty about pre existing conditions and the economy.
Helped by what??! The tariffs? The government mass layoffs? The measles and bird flu epidemics? And why the hell would Biden (or anyone else) ‘hate our farmers’?? The mind reels at this fuckery
He knows the electorate has the memory of a goldfish and the major media outlets have the integrity of wet tissues. That’s why he is perfectly comfortable with any perfidy.
He’s a f’n imbecile who cannot come up with ONE intelligent sentence where he actually explains his plans and policies. Everything is about how unfair everything is to Reps. This buffon very much represents that victim mentality that they accuse everyone else of having.
Because of the tariffs, prices will go up considerably.
Because of the mass deportations, agriculture will take a big hit because there will be a severe labor shortage.
Trump doesn't think things through.
Funny you don't hear much about the billions of dollars he gave farmers who were going banks because of his fucked trade wars. And yet they voted for him again.
I love how the chyron reads we’re going to be “flooded with jobs,” meanwhile decimating entire agencies, supposedly replacing staff with AI implemented by Musk and his goons. But if his Sharpie is large enough, I suppose he can scribble whatever number as a jobs report.
So the media has fully capitulated...he's totally beat them. We are a conquered people... MsNBC should be having a 24hrs breaking news with the CHYRON "Day 29 of DESTRUCTION OF DEMOCRACY"
"I think our farmers are going to be helped" says the man who gave them the largest bail out in history (due to the tariff war) during his first term. 🙄
Also can't forget the farmers in my state who are now finding out with the funding freeze Donald implemented.
Who exactly is dumping products into our country, what are those products, and how are they getting in? Farmers are being hurt since their workers are too afraid of ICE to come to work and that’s his fault, not Biden’s. I guess he’s planning a bailout for the farmers. He’s a baboon’s ass.
Where "short term" means "as long as he insists on his stupid tariffs." I missed this disclaimer before the election when he was promising cheap eggs for everyone.
Other countries are going to get sick of this tariff stuff pretty fast. Ask the farmers how they plan to deal with the lack of payment from USAID. Oh what about the tariff war on Soy from your last term that ruined the soy industry in this country.

Not only are you not fulfilling your promise of getting grocery prices lower on day one, but you're allowing the exact opposite to happen.
STOP BEING INCOMPETENT AND DO WHAT YOU PROMISED EVERY AMERICAN YOU WOULD DO!
What he means is prices are not going to go down at all and expect to see everything skyrocket in price while he and his allies make a killing.
What, who, how do these stupid fucking imbeciles continue to swallow this bullshit everyday.
But in August 2024, (& repeated many other times) you promised to bring prices down on day one.
Was that a lie??
If not a lie, when did you realize you couldn’t deliver your promise and why didn’t you tell the American people then??

:
Lying and cheating are his only true talents.
What a dumbass
Nothing is made in one country anymore.
It was never about the price of eggs...rather it's all about the fact that Trump validates your prejudices and hatred...
"I'm just one of the guys, like you!" His mantra...
Simply put- he hates who you hate.
Thanks for reminding me.
Good job, MAGA. Your messiah is fucking you over too.
Has Day One happened yet? Or is it going to happen some time in the future, maybe?
I look forward to hearing the news reports and interviews from the people that voted for him. I'd like their current and future take.
My eggs are up almost 50%
You need to be on a list, make a down payment to register interest. They’ll call you in a couple of years when they have something.
It’ll be called the egg Authorised Dealer.
Tariffs reduce consumer spending leading to company layoffs further increasing unemployment
Canceled USAID bird flu decimate the domestic and agricultural exports industry
Like you've never seen.
No one uses that word, it's a simple word...
I've got common sense...
Also Trump:
Meanwhile, the budget resolution put forward by House Republicans yesterday called for $230B in cuts to agriculture over the next decade.
This is deliberate
He's a financial terrorist, and Congress needs to treat him as such.
As companies lay off 10% of their work force en masse
the federal government
First blame then pivot to the world treats us like shit.
Not a economic genius, just a bs conman.
and he'll still blame Biden. or Obama. or DEI. or whoever/whatever the boogeyman of the day is.
Because of the mass deportations, agriculture will take a big hit because there will be a severe labor shortage.
Trump doesn't think things through.
Record bankruptcies and bailouts.
clown
💩💩💩💩💩💩
Typical trump BS speak
If Dems were not feckless and incompetent, they would be running ads with video of him saying this, intercut with price statistics. Alas...
Also can't forget the farmers in my state who are now finding out with the funding freeze Donald implemented.
Two Years?
Too much, dis guy...
Meanwhile huge layoffs are being announced DAILY. Today Bezos announced layoffs of 1000 at Blue Origin.
