> [@enipla](#): > > Ask them about food prices, tarrifs and the amount of tax the super rich pay. Tariffs helped counter the inflation left over from when Biden was in office. Food prices are down from all-time highs that were experienced under Biden. If you think they’re higher now, you’re lying or mistaken. The rich pay more than their fair share, and that’s part of the reason why inflation was so bad, because those taxes trickle down and hurt all of us. This is the kind of shit you’re going to hear if you’re foolish enough to get into a conversation with those people about economic issues; all evidence they will accept are from right wing sources so you aren’t going to change their minds no matter how much they suffer. ---

Exactly. A Trump supporter should jump at the chance to emulate their heroes; the noble job creators who make the economy work by investing. ---

Unfortunately, running a futures market Trump-style means the contract says the fuel will be delivered in two ~~weeks~~ months and then when it fails to appear the stiffed contract holder will be told to pound sand. More unfortunately that only works for Trump, not Trump wannabees. ---

> Trump in his deranged way says on Truth Social that it’s a tragedy that Rudy is in the hospital after being mistreated by Democrats who cheated in elections and lied about Rudy. Rudy was right about everything and is a victim of the evil left.
