So, I know it’s objectively true that the inflationary pressures and USD devaluation happening due to the insane idiocy that governs us now is far worse than anything that happened with Biden, but I’m also darkly amused that the current regime is trying the exact fucking same play that Biden did: ignore data, claim success, shit talk people who refute the party line.

not to say "i told you so" to everyone who voted for trump because they were struggling under biden, but hopefully this is a wakeup call to listen to the people who were saying they'd struggle more under this president than they had been under the last one

It doesn't matter what the people experience. It's just about how Trump and his elite pedophiles feel. They feel things are great.
