After President Donald Trump was elected, we published a semi-whimsical list of what would be “out” and “in” after his victory as the left instantly switched gears (“What’s In And What’s Out After Trump’s Stunning Victory”). On that list:
- Out: The economy is doing great!
- In: Why hasn’t Trump fixed the economy yet??
Over the weekend, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries proved us right.
“Donald Trump and Republicans consistently promised that they were going to lower the high cost of living, and they’ve done the exact opposite,” Jeffries said. “They’ve shown no interest in lowering costs in the United States of America, which are too high.”
He said the Trump administration has broken its promise and accused it of having “no interest in improving the quality of life of hard-working American taxpayers.”
For Jeffries of all people to attack Trump for not lowering “the high cost of living” or “improving the quality of life” for Americans shows just how detached he and his fellow Democrats are from reality.
It was Jeffries himself who, just a few months ago, was endlessly bragging about how great the economy was under Joe Biden, and how hard-working Americans were benefitting.
“Wages are up and inflation is down. President Biden continues to build a healthy economy from the middle out and the bottom up,” he posted on X last March.
“The Biden economy has created more than 15 million jobs in under four years. That’s more than the last three Republican Presidents. Combined,” he posted in April
Like most Democrats, Jeffries said the problem was just one of messaging. “We have to do a better job of laying out the facts,” he said in May. “That the economy has dramatically improved under the leadership of President Joe Biden.”
None of it was remotely true.
Now, he’s complaining that Trump, in his first month in office, hasn’t solved all the problems he inherited from Biden.
Jeffries is hardly the lone Democrat speaking with a forked tongue these days. The corporate media are also demanding Trump end the inflationary problem they spent four years denying was a problem.
And, inflation is hardly the only issue where Democrats have attempted to perform similar feats of linguistic legerdemain. After four years of celebrating every time Joe Biden defied the Supreme Court, they are now screaming “Constitutional Crisis!” because of what they think Trump will do should the courts rule against him.
And Democrats wonder why they can’t connect with voters these days. Who can understand what they’re saying?
Here’s an idea: Try using words that are even remotely connected with the truth.
I wonder if we will find out how much money the democRATs funneled to NGOs? And how much of it came back to democRAT politicians?
Normal politics is the art of persuading people to give you power so that you can run their lives for them. This is what Democrats do and why they say the stuff they say.
Trump is a Statesman. He’s leading the country in a direction that seems likely to create a greater nation.
Democrats want to persuade us that this is a bad thing.
OK...here goes.....YOU’RE A RACIST! TRUMP IS A NAZI !
ABORTION IS FABULOUS! UNIONS ARE THE BEST THING EVER!! DON’T CUT ANYTHING FROM THE BUDGET!
You forgot “constitutional crisis”
TRUE ! Sorry.
“I wonder if we will find out how much money the democRATs funneled to NGOs? And how much of it came back to democRAT politicians?”
The beauty of throwing in a third party, like an NGO into the grift is it makes tracking the flow of money nearly impossible. Someone wants a favor from Secretary Clinton. Clinton herself isn’t involved. Someone like Huma Abedin acts as an insulating intermediary. Huma tells the rent seeker Hillary is negotiating with Hufflin/Milton for a 1.5-million-dollar book contract. The rent seeker goes to H/M and gives them two million dollars. H/M gives Hillary a book contract and the rent seeker gets to export his missile technology to China. How would you track that transaction and prove it in court? Even if you got Huma to talk, the rest of the evidence would be nearly impossible to get, and Huma would be labeled a disgruntled employee.
What about “Our Democracy”????
The money spigot is being turned off, explains to me the early retirement announcements from Democrats.
once all the illegals are deported, demand for all goods will decrease bringing prices down
once we stop shipping most of our food we produce overseas to terrorists and those who hate us, it will instead be sold here in American grocery stores driving up supply and prices down
And in addition to the above, once all the illegals have been deported, employers will be forced to hire American citizens to fill those job openings, and will be forced to pay the hire wages US citizens demand.
I remember when Ted Kennedy said, “we are in a quagmire in Iraq” after only four days into the war.
“Go f___ yourself, America!”
I’ve heard that selling finger paintings brought millions of dollars during the Biden administration.
Sadly, he wasn’t wrong.
“Let’s Learn How To Speak ‘Democrat’”
Let me try that: Duuuuuuuuh!
The only way to learn how to “Speak Liberal” is to huff glue all day while shooting heroine and eating schools. Then maybe a person can match the unhinged filthy foul-mouthed vernacular of the left
No
Democrats wonder why they can’t connect with voters these days.
Not communists marxists or socialists
start by ending your sentences going pitch higher as if asking a question.
Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act and told us it was working. Transitory. It didn’t work?
