Trump says Biden to blame for affordability crisis: ‘I’M FIXING IT’

“Either the show made a mistake, or it is heading in a different direction,” Trump wrote Saturday morning on Truth Social. “He thinks prices are going up when, in fact, they are coming substantially down. Gasoline hit $1.99 a gallon yesterday, in certain states, and is down BIG since [former President] Biden.”

“Other prices are almost all down. Biden caused the AFFORDABILITY CRISIS, I’M FIXING IT, along with everything else!” he continued.

1. He can stick his opinion up his Funk and Wagnell.

4. Someone should teach him about the "dictionary"

… and encyclopedia, except that he’s obviously stubbornly unteachable because he thinks he already knows EVERYTHING. No mystery why he’s the king of bankruptcy.

14. I do love the instant access to information that the internet makes possible.

I cannot claim that I knew this on my own.

16. Somebody asked me once what I found so wonderful about the internet.

I said, "Because almost all the knowledge in the world is right at my fingertips. Just about any subject I could think of, I can find out about just by touching some keys. And you never know what else you might discover! " I have gone down thousands of rabbit holes over the decades.

Shut up, dumkoff! 😑

[state of stupid]

10. I have not wasted my time listening to this lying a$$hole since birtherism.

I am in a constant state of confusion why anybody would listen to this severely
defected being. I am sorry but human is not an adjective I can use with this thing.

I have no trouble stating when he and his whole family are dead with no heirs left
the world will a much better place. Hopefully we will learn the lesson from this so
when another a$$hole like this scumbag raises his head, we remember and stop
them before they get a chance to f#ck us over again.

The part I worry about is that in the future we will forget and get to repeat this again.
My father called it "The Old Becomes New Again in a Repeating Cycle".
