Trump says that American's perceptions of the economy "More than anything else, it's a con job by the Democrats"

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

On Monday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle, the MAGA host asked Trump whether there is negative “voter perception” of the economy, or if more work needs to be done to tackle issues such as rising food costs and unemployment figures.


“More than anything else, it’s a con job by the Democrats,” Trump replied. “They put out something, say, ‘Today costs are up.’ They feed it to the anchors at ABC, CBS and NBC and CNN.

“It’s such a rigged system. So are you ready? Costs are way down. Gasoline is going to be hitting $2 pretty soon, or around $2. Gasoline is at 2.70 now, and it was at 4.50 under Biden, under Sleepy Joe,” Trump added, despite the national average currently being a little over $3.

Ingraham then interrupted Trump to ask whether voters are “misconceiving” their feelings about the economy. Trump did not answer, and instead the 79-year-old veered off into a rambling attack on former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 campaign.

1. Then why does he want to give us each $2k?

If affordability is all a con job?

[OLDMDDEM]

2. On January 1, gasoline at my favorite station was $2.95/gallon. Today it is $3.15/gallon. I live in Maryland.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

3. Where I live, gas has increased .46 cents in the last 2 weeks,

and Diesel has increased dramatically at truck stops throughout the nation, so just where the fuck is he getting this crap?
Oh, I know, from the deep recesses of his asshole.

[OLDMDDEM]

4. You got it. He's full of shit.

[durablend]

7. Gas has been a fucking yo-yo since he took office

And it's never gone much below $3 a gallon since.

[A HERETIC I AM]

13. If gas goes to $2/gallon, you can kiss domestic oil production bye bye.

The USA can be (and was) the largest producer in the world if the price of a barrel of oil sustains it, but if the price per barrel falls below the profitability mark, oilfield companies will shut down like many of them have already.

5. I believe his staff complete bullshits him and he has no idea

That's why he was dumb enough to show up at a football game in Washington after releasing the national guard on the city and thought people would cheer him. That didn't work out so well. But he's completely living on Bull shit fed to him by the cloud of idiots around him. The emperor has no clothes.

6. He's so full of shit. How can anyone put their trust in this ogre.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. Yes we're so much smarter than you that we can fool the American public

[GoCubsGo]

9. The World's biggest con man doth project too much.

That's the kind of shit you expect from a pathological liar whose brain has turned to cottage cheese thanks to his dementia/Alzheimer's/multiple strokes/untreated syphilis/whatever has caused this insanity.

[Solly Mack]

10. It's a Democratic conspiracy, I tell you! And the grocery stores are in on it! You're not paying what you think you're

paying. The grocery stores are inflating the total on your grocery receipt. Add it up yourself! The real price is low and posted but then they add $30.00, $40.00, $75.00 dollars to the total. It's a Democratic con, I tell you!

[B.See]

11. "A con job." Right. And Covid was 'a Democratic hoax.'

A 'hoax' that would've killed him, had karma played a hand.

12. Whatinthefuck?

Ingraham then interrupted Trump to ask whether voters are “misconceiving” their feelings about the economy.

Is she on the same drugs all the repigs seem to be on now?

And how in the hell can she not burst out laughing when he says Sleepy Joe? I've NEVER seen Joe sleep in the Oval Office chair for 20 minutes like he just did a few days ago.

One of these days I'm going to wake up.

It was all just a bad dream.

14. I paid 4.10 a gallon at my Costco this Saturday

Talk about an out of touch asshole!
