Mayor Mamdani: "Reagan famously said the nine most terrifying words in the English Language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' It's a good quote, but I disagree. I think 9 more terrifying words are actually, 'I worked all day, and I can't feed my family'."

1. Actually they are "I support Trump"...

If you apply Trump math it works

4. You cut the words down by 300%

[Celerity]

10. Your maths are off. A 300 per cent reduction of 9 yields -18.

A 100 per cent reduction of 9 takes it to zero, a 200 per cent reduction of 9 takes it to -9.

Taking it from 9 to 3 is a reduction of approximately 66.67%.

11. It is minus 9. He took out reagan's 9 words.

That's minus 9. Then he replaced them with 3. That's 300 percent.

[Celerity]

14. No it isn't. It's approximately a 66.67 per cent reduction. Expressed as a fraction, it is reducing 9 by 2/3rds.

This is all extremely basic maths.

16. You're not applying Trump math

[Celerity]

17. And proudly, I never will.

[Uncle Joe]

3. Kicked and recommended

5. All the crap we are dealing with now

Everything about all the problems we have now economically go back to Regan and his BS trickle down economics theory. They broke up the unions, they allowed for corporate takeovers of everything including the media that just pushes RW BS now, they made the government incompetent, they took away regulations for the environment. I mean if you think about it so much goes back to Regan and the rise of conservatives

[Just Jerome]

6. The conversion of

conservatives to reactionaries, actually.

[Skittles]

7. CORRECT

"trickle down" was always the uber wealthy pissing on the workers

[mountain grammy]

12. and he won 48 states..

or, as I call it, the beginning of the end.

[Polybius]

18. 49 actually

And damn near 50, as Minnesota was close.

[IronLionZion]

8. Remember when he implemented Sharia law, took away all our freedoms, and millions fled NYC to escape?

Me neither.

[mcar]

9. I'm liking what I see of this Mayor

[mountain grammy]

13. He's speaking to me!

people are sinking, drowning in debt while billionaires rake it in.

[peggysue2]

Take a Republican message and turn it on its head.

Excellent!
