President Donald Trump Campaign in 2024 On the false notion that the policies introduced by President Joe Biden (with Vice President Kamala Harris) produced economic disruption and out of control inflation.
This was not true. In fact, economic data I showed that Conditions have been improved in most categories under Biden. Unemployment rates have improved, in particular, in contrast to the economic downturn that occurred under Trump’s mistreatment during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Anyway, Trump has pledged to fix all the issues, including the rising egg prices, on the “first day” of the presidency.
That didn’t happen And the economic situation has been getting worse in recent weeks. Trump’s actions since he was sworn in on January 20th; From thrashing Federal labor force through Elon Musk’s so-called government efficiency It’s widely ridden by chance The announcement of tariffs has been led Rising fear The possibility of economic slowdown and recession.
Major inventory indexes have fallen Multiple consecutive In response to Trump’s unpredictable actions. But despite him Extensive history Pointing to the market as a verification or denial of economic behavior, Trump Say it now The market is simply experiencing a “transition period.”
And it’s not just Trump I shrugged him.

In Recent Episodes Of her primetime show, host Lowline Graham told viewers to “ignorate” news that the market is blending in.
Why is this happening? The principles of the right guidelines are simple as Trump said so, as he was elected in 2016.

More recently, Trump after falsely accusing Biden of politicizing the judicial system. install A strange acolite who wrote Trump fan fiction as head of the FBI – Almost indifferent support From the GOP Senator.
Republicans are now thrall Trump’s personality cult And they abandoned some tenuous principles that conservatives once prioritized.
Essentially, when Trump tells his supporters that the Earth is flat, they turn on the dime and repeat the falsehood. Outlets like Fox News Quickly amplify the lies, build an echo chamber between themselves, Republican leaders, Trump, and repeat nonsense until it becomes a shared reality.
Trump cult has so far disappeared like Republican voters I’m rooting for you now Their own relatives and friends are fired from their federal jobs at the whimsical request of his co-president mask. But those same magazines didn’t even blink the president. We have transformed the White House into a car lot. He then encouraged people to buy his buddy Elon’s $80,000 Teslas.
Large-scale delusions now convinced many of those same supporters what they have to do Tolerate price increases For staple products, they probably rioted over payments 12 eggs over $9 Under a democratic president.
For decades, conservatives I forgot and voted against it their own interests in supporting candidates in reducing social services and enacting tax policies that hurt residents of red states than elsewhere in the United States. But under Trump, votes against their interests have become a point of pride. Everything is going well, as long as they please their cult leaders.
