10. Prices are not coming down.
Wed Dec 17, 2025, 10:00 AM

Millions of voters chose Trump because they were mad at Biden for the cost of living.

The media promoted this when they could have helped inform people that inflation was the result of the COVID pandemic. The media could have promoted the real good that Bidenomics was doing, the fact that the U.S. economy was recovering better than any other global economy, that things were improving. But they wanted Trump for ratings.

So people voted for Trump because he promised to lower prices. Simple as that. Well, everything Trump is doing makes prices go up.

People will get angrier and angrier with Trump but he's not running again. I don't know how we fix this. It will take decades to recover from what he's done and he's not finished yet.
