Sounds as if Agent Orange is providing a lot of campaign material for . . . DEMOCRATS!

The money line, of course, is: Americans must adjust to a lower standard of living.

That's going to play everywhere. Badly.

IMHO, this is more evidence of Trump losing it. The magic is gone, the lies don't work and he actually spun this idea of fewer dolls and pencils to the public months ago.

It flopped then and it will flop always, particularly when the elites are raking in tax breaks and giveaways or Agent Orange sends 20 million to Argentina to prop up another dictator, or the super wealthy lay-off scads of workers in favor of AI.

But please continue, MAGA. Put the doddering old man out there so everyone can see how truly crazy and cruel and power-hungry your movement has always been. And double please, keep repeating the real message:

Americans must adjust to a lower standard of living.

Love it!
