Is Trump delusional, or are "young, beautiful girls" really thanking him on a daily basis?
Trump has promised multiple stimulus checks (have you received one?) He promised his tariffs would revive U.S. manufacturing (we've lost manufacturing jobs). He promised lower gas prices (they're higher now). He promised to keep us out of new wars (he started one with Iran). Noticing a pattern?

Rep. Dean: Families are paying $300 more for groceries this year, $100 more for electricity, $600 more for gasoline, not to mention the cost of diesel, since Trump took office and as a result of his failed policies. In 2 years' time, Republicans have not passed a single bill that would lower costs.
Hillary Clinton: "I love Israel, and I hate Netanyahu's government and his policies. I love America, and I hate Trump's government and policies ... if the Israelis want to vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position."
Donald Trump says gas and oil prices won't get back to normal until AFTER the midterms. This comes as oil prices hit $100 per barrel and diesel nears $6 per gallon.

Fmr Trump staffer on Trump's $5,000 checks: "I don't think it's gonna happen. The math I ran was about $1.3 trillion. I'm not sure how they'd do it legally. You can't spend money unless Congress appropriates it...that's only $300 billion. And if you actually did it, it would simply be inflationary"
Trump (2024): ...“We will end inflation and make America affordable again,” Trump (Dec. 2025): ..."Affordability is a Democrat hoax."
