It turns out that everything Trump promises during his campaign was the hoax.

Saw this coming. Trump’s narcissism is interfering with their messaging. It is too close to admitting fault.

I mean, why tell the truth, when at least 40% the electorate will believe what you say anyway.
He promised trade wars, every day on the campaign trail, and the voters actually thought that would bring down prices….

You know, I think he might hit a wall with hoaxing this one away.

This is the one area where his propaganda will not work. Even newspapers in Russia admit their economy sucks.

He has never stepped foot in a supermarket in his life.
We aren’t all silver spooner like him.

What? Trump got off topic? I’m shocked.
If I were a Trump voter, I’d be so sick of hearing about Biden. And I definitely wouldn’t want to hear that affordability is a “hoax.”

I get a 2.8% disability increase this year. An extra $20 or so! Woo! I am rich. Avocado toast, here I come!

He calls affordability a hoax, but we all know the real hoax is anyone thinking he actually cares about anyone but himself.

I’m glad that everyone talking about affordability is getting under his thin skin so much.

At this point the pursuit of happiness is a hoax. The suffering though? That’s very real.

I really hope this is the centerpiece of the Republican platform in the midterms: that the pain you are feeling is a hoax.

Then can I go into a grocery store and pay whatever I want? If it’s a hoax that everything costs way to much, then the prices are a hoax.

Hard to both say you made everything affordable again while saying affordability isn’t an actual thing. The stupid never ends with the clown car.

“the president doubled down on his prior assessment of affordability as a partisan “hoax” before blasting former President Joe Biden as “a sleepy son of a b—-,””
You’re the one constantly falling asleep on live tv, Dozy Donald.

It’s absolutely wild how Trump will use language in ways that are entirely new and unique and wrong and it doesn’t bother half the country. I mean, we are all used to spinning bad news into good news, that’s just marketing. You could have a team of professional marketing executives crank out 300 slogans overnight to make the case that the economy is good instead of bad, but not in 10,000 years would anyone think up “affordability is a hoax”. It’s not even in the ballpark of options to put those words together.

Are people still showing up to listen to that blowhard speak?

If Trump continues on this course, this may be the one issue that breaks through to the cult. You cannot lie to people about how much money they have in their pocket. They are keenly fucking aware of that fact all the time.
You can lie to them about who is to blame for the lack of money in their pocket, you can lie to them about the reason for their lack of cash, but to just deny it as a “hoax” is a dead end politically. He is gonna piss off even his own supporters.
He was better off with the “tarrifs are gonna hurt for a while” lie, or the “blame Biden” lie. But Trump’s ego is just too fragile, the economy has to be wonderful and it has be so only because he is so great. So he’s boxed in to this lie. If the economy wasn’t dying it would be fun to watch it all play out.

Typical narcissist behavior, not taking accountability for anything they perceive to be negative. It’s a hoax or the fault of Democrats, etc.
The only time I can ever remember Trump semi-apologizing for anything was immediately after Access Hollywood because it was such a damning news story at the time and his advisors told him it was a big deal. Like it would literally have ended the political career of anyone ever except for Trump. It’s still amazing how nothing fazes MAGA and they’ll put up with anything he says or does.
Dems turned against Biden after a bad debate while Republicans have put up with multiple felonies, an insurrection, among many other crimes and blunders.

Affordability under Trump is a hoax unless you’re wealthy.

In the great words of Maximus Decimus Meridius,
*”Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?”*
Seriously, you guys? You’re still, after a fucking decade, *still* just happy as a clam getting conned by a child rapist? Is this it for you? Nothing else? Any time someone tries to bring up an issue that would help **you**, your painted golden idol just has to say “‘Tis but a hoax, I say!” and you all just…roll over? Cheer? Laugh?
While your social circles grow ever smaller. Shrinking along with every balance statement post grocery trip? While your water is poisoned? While your electric bill climbs? While your jobs and family owned local businesses disappear, along with the hospital that was just 20 minutes away, and the public school is shuttered?
Really…? You are content with all of this…**STILL**…?
