His New Word To Replace "Affordability" And Distract

I was watching MSNOW and it looks like the orange pusgut thinks "pricing" will be the main theme for the midterms, and not affordability. Just my observation. In my opinion he's trying to control the narrative.

1. Affordability, pricing... I'm not sure a rebrand is going to help him here

It likely doesn't matter what word everyone uses -- if large numbers of people are having a hard time making ends meet and can't afford to buy stuff, they're going to blame the people in charge.

3. Probably because "pricing" is easier for him to say than "affordability".

Pricing is only 2 syllables, Affordability is 6. Which means the rest of us should continue to use affordability.

5. Pricing is his way of saying 'not my fault'

It’s ‘their’ pricing…. versus his shitty economy.

Voters will look at their wallets and blame him regardless.

That him renaming affordability to pricing will be irrelevant. Because people will be suffering more from his stupid policies and vote for the Democratic Party.
