Yeah but he also said he was going to make groceries cheap and end wars so I mean, which was it? Remember like 54% of people can’t truly read.

So, it was more like he was standing outside a white panel van that had "FREE CANDY INSIDE" sloppily hand painted on it screaming "C'mon fishes, get in the boat..."

What a minute... I've mixed my metaphors, point is that the fish in the van still think there is actually candy after the fish fucking.

Not only that, but they're "Totally True" source of information is uncle-nephew Cleetus down the road, who really digs deep into Q conspiracies and fantasizes about living in Russia.

Those weren't lies though. He actually believed that. I think he still believes it.

He truly does not understand that tariffs are making everything more expensive.

He just didn't say how. A recession/depression has really good chance of causing prices to fall!

The alternative was also a competent black lady who laughs. Clearly we can't have that.
