Trump cuts food prices by slashing tariffs which he increased in the first place, but apparently not on Italian products like pasta, olive oil, and tomatoes

 

Trump cuts tariffs on goods like coffee, bananas and beef in bid to slash consumer prices

  

Trump tariffs are helping drive U.S. beef prices to new highs

 

 

Victor Davis Hanson wouldn't know chaos if it walked up and introduced itself

 

Democrats Wielding Chaos as a Strategy

Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness

 

This guy is delusional. 

 

I thought we were going to invade Greenland, Canada, and Panama at the beginning of the year, but instead we've actually gone to war in Yemen, Iran, and now Venezuela and maybe even Nigeria, all in nine months. But yeah, the Democrats are responsible for all the chaos.

 

I thought we were going to cut federal spending with Elon Musk at the helm, but all we got was a phony Republican tax and spending plan for the Fourth of July which has put us $2 trillion more in debt just four months later. But damn all those fired government workers who showed up in Virginia this week to vote for a Democrat for governor.

 

Everyday it's some new bullshit from Mad King Ludwig, but this egghead is upset that the public is reacting negatively to each new pile of it.

 

The administration and MAGA do not talk enough about . . . tolerable inflation . . . a calmer Middle East . . .

 

Good god, man, Joe Six Pack can't afford a lousy hamburger at McDonald's and the Red Sea is no longer safe for free trade.

 

 

 

  

Erick Erickson repeats the myth that Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot

 Seen here:

“Lame duck status is going to come even faster now,” Erick Erickson, the popular conservative blogger and radio host, wrote on social media. “Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot, and that is never happening again.” 

Turnout for Democrats was YUGE yesterday.

Trump did that:

In Virginia, 59% of the electorate said cuts to the federal government had affected their finances, and two-thirds of those voters backed Spanberger, who is on pace to win by 14 percentage points, the largest victory for a Democrat in a Virginia governor’s race in decades. A full 37% of the electorate said they cast a ballot to oppose Trump, with 99% of them voting for Spanberger. 

Cernovich is delusional when he says that the absence of Trump on the ballot yesterday equated to lower voter turnout and GOP losses

Trump being absent from the ballot explains nothing about yesterday. This might come, however, from an ulterior motive in support of a Trump 2028 run. As such it is disinformation for his ignorant followers.

Yesterday's turnout was high, and arguably precisely because of Trump, for doing nothing about inflation and for literally beating people up in the streets everyday in ICE operations.

Who could be so stupid? 

Virginia turnout yesterday broke the record.

NYC mayoral turnout yesterday was the highest since 1969.

New Jersey turnout yesterday at 3.2 million plus was higher than in 2021 at 2.6 million. Democrat voters were energized to turnout.

Gee, I wonder why? 

Trump won in 2016 with the lowest turnout in two decades, when the GOP also won both House and Senate. Trump underperformed John McCain 2008 in 13 states in 2016. Hillary underperformed Obama 2008 in 39 states in 2016. It was truly a Revulsion Election. Nobody liked either one of them, they just disliked Hillary more. 

But when turnout was at an all time high, in 2020, Trump lost everything: the presidency, the House, and the Senate.

Low turnout has almost always favored Republicans. It is tried and true election wisdom. High turnout not so much. 

Cernovich is allied with the likes of OG MAGA Steve Bannon, an ex-con, who is probably the chief advocate of an illegal Trump 2028 run.

What a shock, right?

90% of all stocks are owned by the top 10% by wealth in America, so naturally the market is setting new records on persistently higher inflation

 They make their money raising prices on the 90% beneath them, who MUST be fed the narrative that inflation is "mild".

Wouldn't want to tell the truth and start a revolution or anything.

Stonks been bery bery good to Chico.
