“If Donny has to die, then let him die.”
Wouldn’t concern many.
Concern, no. Encouraged, by billions.
Can somebody explain this part to me?
He also signalled hope towards the fuel costs going down in fall, telling the host, ‘I hope so. I mean, I think so. It could be. Or the same. Or maybe a little bit higher. But it should be around the same. I think this won’t be that much longer.’
How can this be reported as him signalling hope? This is gibberish. Best part of all is that stockbrokers and traders will run with this as if it is now a given and then act complete pikachu if it doesn’t happen.
Djezes this is the stupidest timeline.
Materialists are showing the inherent self-destructiveness of their ideology
How can this be reported as him signalling hope?
because it’s propaganda of a real story, you already know the right of it.
I hope so.
Amazingly, it seems they meant it literally. Usually “hope” in this context means you think there’s a good chance something will happen. Trump literally has no idea whatsoever.
Sounds a lot like “let them eat cake” to me.
The only valid retort is feed them metal slugs.
How in touch he always seems with the common man. Just remarkable.
Would you expect any less from the man who invented the word “groceries”?

Not exactly, but he did seem to think it was a novel idea.

Yep, he did. There was no such word before last elections it seems…
And so many of these “common men” still seem to really believe that no matter what he actually says or does, all that matters is that he talks like the person they imagine him to be, which they believe means he unequivocally understands and cares about them and can do no wrong. He really does love the poorly educated, and you can see why.
The reality distortion field Trump supporters seem to be trapped in is rapidly approaching the strength of a black hole. I’m not sure what happens when it all collapses and they all fall into the event horizon but I’ll certainly be glad if they can’t escape and we never have to hear from most of them ever again.
trump allowed magats- to be out and proud racists/bigots. its an analog of an awakening for closeted people.
I’m not sure what happens when it all collapses
What happened to all the Nazis in 1945?
Not enough, obviously, because they’re baaaack.
all that matters is that he talks like the person they imagine him to be,
That’s the thing, it’s not even that he talks how they want, they literally just imagine that he does, and that’s good enough. It’s so fucking bizarre.

Makes these old images of Biden raising gas prices funnier to dig back up. Omg $3! When some places now are pushing $6.
Here in the Southeast, those stickers were all over the place, too! Sometimes I’d even see them inside stores, people were putting them out faster than employees could remove them. They weren’t just used at gas pumps, though that was obviously the primary placement for them.
I’ve only seen the Trump version online so far. Wonder why those same people who were putting out the Biden ones aren’t getting the Trump ones out as quickly?
I’m sure it’s not that they’re low-life partisan hypocrites. It’s probably the lingering effects of the illegal tariffs driving up the cost of the stickers at a time when they’ve lost their jobs and healthcare so they literally just can’t afford the gas or the stickers to be able to put them out. I’m sure it’s that.
I’ve already seen several of Trump at the pump
Saw one in the middle of nowhere a couple weeks back and was pleasantly shocked
Many places In europe charge more than 2 euro per liter. so like 9 usd for a gallon.
also many places in europe have more fuel efficient cars
Also, we’re kind of used to those prices, because most of it is tax. The changes in actual gas price (which are upsetting Americans now) are fractions of the usual price for us.
Of course we also complain about high prices, but it doesn’t break our budgets.
His is entirelly a “some of you might suffer and I’m willing to make that sacrifice” perspective, and he and his family have surelly made more than enough money frontrunning his proclamations to cover any costs he has from higher fuel price rises, so he is alright.
The original Reuters article instead of this dumpster fire of a source. (Canned explanation whenever I’m not so lazy.)
Also, the IB Times (as usual for this piece of shit outlet) is citing a quote from over a month ago as if it’s new news.
Why should he care? He doesn’t pay for gas. That’s somebody else’s problem.
He has a whole country to pay for his gas… imagine how great that’s be if you were the biggest douche in the universe?
I sort of wish South Park would redo that episode with Trump instead cause he definitely beat out John Edwards. Could even just be a cut and paste for the most part, slightly different dialogue. Then a short live action apology with Matt and Trey saying hiow sorry they were that they didn’t realize there was such a better candidate when they first aired it and how much Trump is so much douchier than their original winner. Fuck even top it off with a cheesy gold paint sprayed award sent to acknowledge his accomplishments.
Guy who doesn’t pay for his own gas doesn’t care about gas prices. More at 11.
he already said to his followers: “GET used to it, and stop complaining”
“Let them eat cake”
Knew I’d find this quote.
Wasn’t he elected precisely because of things like gas prices?
If he was PM here in UK he would be facing calls to resign. This would be seen as abandoning the electorate or breaking a manifesto pledge.
In normal countries if a budget can’t be decided on, the government collapses and an election is held. In the US, they have indefinite 6 month extensions where they end up not paying government employees every 6 months for a month. The whole country is broken.
Christ, if anyone in the public sector went a month without pay over here the unions would be rioting in the streets. It just wouldn’t happen.
Come to think of it, regardless of whether a budget passes or not, I suspect the government would still be legally bound to pay wages. I don’t know for sure though cos I can’t remember it ever happening.
In parliamentary democracies, it defaults to the status quo. Basically last year’s budget, plus that changes that it entailed. Taxes are still coming in, so there is no reason to stop money from going to places it needs to go and the difference between balance is called a deficit. Belgium could not form a government for 1-2 years rcently and ran through this scenario.
Its amazing that not only did the US never plan for this scenario but they’ve never changed it since. How do you convince someone to work for you when they might only get paid for 10 months a year?
And that downtime won’t be good for productivity either.
For parliamentary democracies the budget is the big point of contention. Most votes of no confidence happen because a failed budget proposal.
It’s “illegal” for public unions to strike here.
Reagan famously fired all air traffic control workers because they went on strike.
Learned about that from John Oliver. How the hell the unions have just quietly sat on that for 40 years as if they didn’t get their legs knocked from under there is beyond me.
They never truly recovered
No, that’s fake news. What he said — he said you hear me ? He said he was gonna lower the price of eggs. And he did, it’s tremendous, the eggs… They’re cheaper than ever before. And they’re huge, huge eggs you wouldn’t believe it. I saw an egg… hear me, an egg that was so big it made Xi Jinpin afraid. Bigger than Greenland, and it was a cheap egg, a proud American egg. But now people don’t want cheap eggs, they want cheap gaz. Because that’s what woke Biden told em to want. /s
And they’re huge, huge eggs you wouldn’t believe it.
The likes we’ve never seen before… And probably won’t again… 😅
I think you mean Iceland*
If he was PM here in UK he would be facing calls to resign.
Real, I remember the day before Truss left, I overheard some man on the bus saying on the phone how she and the entire party should be “strung up in the streets”.
UK isn’t as quick to tolerate that sort of shit lol. They may drag their feet at times, but when they decide you’re gone, you’re gone.
It’s crazy how much the American populace is willing to put up with.
So where are all the “I did that” stickers on the gas pumps with his face?
I’ve seen a couple.
Ive seen one of JD Vance with a tiny head ala the Super Mario Bros movie Koopa but no Trump ones (in person) yet.
I bought a pack of googly eyes to add to the ones I see, but haven’t seen any recently.
He’s a secret stooge of the environmentalist movement and this is his endgame to kill the internal combustion engine. Wake up, sheeple!
“let them
eat cakeuse diesel”Diesel is more expensive in the US.
Cake is more expensive than bread
and some breads in the US qualify as cakes due to unnecessarily high sugar content
* most bread. I was horrified last time I visited. Even what was supposed to be whole grain bread was just dyed light “bread”
how else can we give enough
customerscitizens diabetes to fuel the profit generating system that is the sickcare system run by insurance companiesI’ve heard you can cure diabetes by injecting bleach
Where are going, Walmart? All the bread at my local big box supermarket is as advertised. Plenty of actual bread alongside the wonderbread, and the stuff in between.
I laughed at this harder than I should have lol
And American industry has enshitified, so any cake we make tastes terrible. Most things taste terrible now, even our vegetables have become flavorless.
Or at best, tasteless. My kid got some choco rolls the other day and offered me a bite. Tasted like nothing. I was like “no wonder I’ve lost weight, these things used to taste good”
“ethel, get them damn kids hitched up to the truck! they pull slow and we gonna be late!”
diesel is quite bougie for his followers.
