Trump says he's wants to privatize USPS because it's "unprofitable".
Reminder that the Post Office isn't a for-profit enterprise: it's a public service that guarantees everyone in America reliable, affordable, and universal mail service.
If you're angry because:
-Inflation is high
-Crime is rising
-Migrants are invading
-Fentanyl Overdoses are rising
-The economy is bad
The truth is:
-Inflation isn't high, it is 2.6%
-Crime has been falling for years and continues to fall
-Border crossings are the lowest in over 4 years
-Fentanyl overdoses are dropping rapidly
-America has the best economy in the world
You're actually angry about the endless lies designed to keep you upset, scared, and willing to support those who will make your life worse and take your rights away to "solve" these issues.
Be angry at the people lying to you.
Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification
Trump’s billionaire buddies are trying to convince you that Trumpflation is necessary for the economy. Isn’t that something? Jet-setting tycoons looking down from their perch telling us WE have to suffer while THEY get tax cuts. Might as well have said “LET THEM EAT CAKE!”
Rampell: If you voted for Trump because you thought he was going to bring down the cost of housing, a lot of our lumber, cement, and other materials comes from Canada, which means that construction costs are going to go up
I realize this is the 1st non-consecutive presidency in over 125 yrs but can the media stop treating Trump as if he is coming in to clean something up? He was already in office, his presidency was chaotic & he mismanaged the economy & Covid. And things are running well right now.
Just a reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.
A tariff is basically a sales tax, raising the price of almost everything you buy.
It's also regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.
Market is record high, inflation is down, cost of food is down, gas is down, crime is down,prescription drug costs are down. All because of the Biden/Harris administration
A 25% tariff on Canadian goods would
- spike gasoline prices
- spike natural gas prices
- drastically increase price of lumber and cement
- completely crater the construction and housing markets
So all your prices would go up — but the value of your house would go down.
So Republicans, now that it's clear to you that he lied to you about not knowing anything about Project 2025, have you considered that he might be lying to you about everything else?
Inflation? Covid? Sexual assault? Epstein? The 2020 election? January 6?
