A new survey has found that Americans are being squeezed by higher prices as they head into the holiday season, forcing them to cut back on gifts and delay purchases because of Donald Trump’s faltering economy.
The Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found that a vast majority of U.S. adults have noticed increased prices for groceries, electricity, and holiday gifts in recent months. Roughly half say it is harder to afford presents, and similar numbers say they’re postponing big purchases or trimming nonessential spending more than usual.
Those bleak findings come as Trump has been downplaying concerns about the state of the economy, while simultaneously urging families to scale back on Christmas presents for their children. At a Pennsylvania event on Tuesday, he told supporters, “You can give up certain products,” citing “pencils” as an example before turning to children’s toys: “You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter.
Trump has a lot to do with it, but it’s not just him.
This is the result of the working class not getting a fair return on its labor for decades. It’s only going to get worse until they fight back.
LOL Fight back, they’ve fucking supported this for 40 years…
FIGHT BACK 🤣🤣🤣
OK if at some point an American majority realize the stupidity of their ways for 40 years, I will absolutely celebrate.
Of course some are very much aware and hate what has been going on, but unfortunately they are not the majority.
Word of advice though, fighting back starts small, you can’t wait for the majority to fight, the momentum needs to be build by those who realize the problem.
It’s also the oligarchs who support him as well as the various puppeteers who control him.
And the majority of people who supported him, and the majority of voters who voted for him. Trump freaking won the popular vote!!!
He’s in part a symptom of a problem that is making the problem worse
There won’t be enough substantial resistance. Things WILL continue to get worse.
