The war in Ukraine needs to end to bring down grocery prices.
That would, in fact, be hard to do.
Maybe this guy could be more neutral.
Please note I dislike ALL American politicians. I'm neither FOR nor AGAINST Trump. I spent the entire election joking Vote None of the Above.
It looks to me like Trump tampered with this election but he also apparently tampered with the election in 2016, has more than 30 felony counts related to that and the Republican party ran him anyway as their presidential candidate AND those trials wrapped up recently or are still ongoing eight god-damned years later, so I'm not holding my breath that anyone will actually stop Trump from being president. Nor do I actually know enough about the other candidate to say with confidence she would be a better president.
I mean if Trump intends to actually pursue a goal of becoming dictator of the world, which I vaguely have the impression is the goal, people in OTHER countries should be discussing how they feel about that. Meanwhile, Merikans continue to prove they are idiots and political corruption is The Merikan Way.
But whatevs.
Anyway, back to the clip that I only watched part of before noping out.
It would be nice if so-called "journalists" would try to be a little more constructive and less click bait. Though given the death of so many local newspapers and the challenges in supporting good writing in any ethical fashion online -- ask me how I know -- perhaps using bullshit drama like "shocking turn of events" is his bread and butter, so journalism doesn't actually interest him.
Yes, it in actual fact WILL be hard to bring down grocery prices. Trump stating that MAY be him starting to walk back that promise OR it may be him saying "Prepare for this to be a long, hard, messy process that people won't enjoy."
Perhaps he hopes that lowering the tax burden on the grocery stores Mr. So-called "Journalist" mentioned will actually help bring down prices for consumers. It might help if Trump explicitly stated that is one of the things he hopes to achieve with that corporate tax cut.
It's okay if it's a lie and he got the idea from me. He should say it ANYWAY.
But the really hard part is the war in Ukraine needs to end if you want grocery prices to come down. And the ENTIRE planet knows that, so I can't be arsed to try to "prove" that. If you don't KNOW that already, you're even more clueless about what happens here on planet Earth than I am even though I TRY to avoid keeping up on current events.
Before noping out of Elon Musk's White supremacist platform, I saw a TWEET that maga maggots are already crediting Trump with a ceasefire or something between Russia and Ukraine. I don't remember what, exactly. I intentionally avoid "the news" for mental health reasons and I loathe politics.
So Trump easily can use that as a talking point: "The US is working to help end the war in Ukraine, if only to bring down grocery prices for Americans."
Brian whatever his name's headlines are increasingly histrionic. I wonder what he thinks that will accomplish.
Does it somehow increase his income?
Because I seriously doubt it somehow serves a meaningful agenda. Does he imagine his histrionics somehow make it more likely that they will magically stop Trump's inauguration before January whatever the fuck rolls around?
They've CONVICTED him of more than thirty FELONY counts for tampering with the 2016 election.
One of our TWO political parties ran him ANYWAY and apparently some judge bought his bullshit that the president should get immunity like a king and the last headline or blurb I saw indicated they are trying to figure out what the hell to do in light of both those things PLUS "he's been elected again. Oops."
And politicians "reversing" their promises -- via Brian whatshisnames extremely loose definition of reversing -- is hardly shocking.
My mom: "How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving."
And it's a common saying. She wasn't the only person on planet Earth who thought so.
It WILL in actual fact be hard to bring down grocery prices.
Why don't you, Mr. So-called Journalist, hold his feet to the fire to keep his promise anyway rather than just dragging him?
Because what you are CURRENTLY doing is telling everyone to EXPECT him to FAIL, so make your peace with it and don't expect better of the leader of supposedly the most powerful planet on Earth last I heard.
No wonder Biden is PRAYING to GOD that Trump gives up on Project 2025, which I gather is roughly "his plans to become dictator for life of the US (and next: The World)."
Because planet Earth sucks so much that hoping desperately for salvation from an invisible "god" is our Only Hope. Go, us.
Perhaps "God" should hurl the planet into the Sun and start over elsewhere if the poor baby is still LONELY and needs a species in his image to entertain him and keep him company.
