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.
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!?¡
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…
Spoiler alert: He won’t do anything except enrich himself and his toadies.
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.
Well, at least it’ll make the land less enticing to Israel?
I was more making fun of the articles about trump being responsible for the cease fire talked about yesterday that is falling apart today.
Many Americans doubt Trump. End of statement.
Americans don’t doubt Trump. Fascists who voted for fascism but thought somehow they’d be ok doubt Trump.
People who voted for The Leopards Won’t Eat My Face aren’t Americans. Traitors to democracy to a one.
Kinda my point
After the election he said himself that he wouldn’t be able to!
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.
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.
MAGA Voters: “Derp derp, he said he do thing, yup yup, we believe, yup yup, dat mean he gon do it, yup. Them eggs and them beers are gunna be incredibly affordable anyday now, yup yup”
Why reminds me that title of
The only thing the bastard has ever lowered is my hope for democracy.
He said so in an interview? Tho, not just the first year
Are you saying you believe what he says?
I do in this instance?
Are we not supposed to believe a politician backtracking on his election promises just after he won said election with them?
If anything, he’ll print more money than is already the case and fuel inflation.
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.
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
