Serious question for you or any Trump supporter.

Please name for me one thing, just ONE THING, that Trump has done with respect to affordability that has delivered an improvement over the situation as it existed one year ago.  Or relative to the situation as it existed 15 months ago.

 

Your fat tooshie is forgetting about Ozempic.

If there was any doubt who American leftists want to win this war, it’s gone now.

Prices of everything were going to come down, he said.  Inflation would be non-existent. Happy days were going to be here again, with no more forever wars!

How is all that going?

 

He's done plenty. Real wages have increased under this admin. after Biden/ Harris rat fucked the economy six ways from Sunday and made most Americans poorer. 

On taxes:

  • Individual Tax Rates: Permanently extends the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) individual tax rates, which were set to expire at the end of 2025.
  • SALT Deduction: Temporarily raises the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap to $40,000 for taxpayers making less than $500,000, before it changes in 2030.
  • Overtime & Tip Tax Relief: Allows individuals to deduct the portion of qualified overtime pay that exceeds their regular rate (up to $12,500 annual deduction, $25,000 for joint filers) from 2025–2028. It also provides tax benefits for tipped workers.
  • Child Tax Credit: Increases the nonrefundable child tax credit from $2,000 to $2,200 per child, effective 2025.
  • Business Investment: Reinstates 100% immediate expensing (bonus depreciation) for qualifying business property purchased after Jan. 19, 2025. The small business tax deduction (QBI) is increased from 20% to 23%.
  • Senior Bonuses: Increases the additional senior standard deduction from $2,000 to $6,000 for those with incomes below specific thresholds, effective 2025–2028.
  • New "Trump Accounts": Enables parents to create tax-deferred savings accounts for children.
  • Auto Loan Interest: Deductible up to $10,000 per year for personal passenger vehicles.
  • Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS): Increases the eligibility limit for issuing QSBS to $75 million in gross assets, adjusted for inflation

 

On energy:

  • Expanding Oil and Gas: The administration has authorized significant new drilling and aimed to lower prices for oil, propane, and natural gas,.As of early 2026, U.S. crude oil production reached over million barrels per day (b/d), with natural gas output hitting record levels.
  • Rolling Back Clean Energy Policies: Trump has targeted Biden-era climate regulations, repealing tax credits for wind, solar, and electric vehicles, aiming to reduce energy costs by ending green energy subsidies.
  • Removing Environmental Mandates: By removing mandates that forced utility companies to invest in renewable energy, the administration hopes to alleviate pressures that increase electricity rates.
  • Prioritizing Fossil Fuels: The White House has supported coal-powered plants to ensure they stay open, aiming to maintain traditional energy supplies, according to NPR.
  • Accelerating Infrastructure Permits: The administration has focused on slashing regulations to speed up the approval process for pipelines and power plants. 
  • Ratepayer Protection Pledge: On March 4, 2026, seven major tech companies—Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, xAI, Oracle, and OpenAI—signed a pledge at the White House to provide their own power for data centers, reducing the burden on public utilities.

On pharma:

  • Most-Favored-Nation Executive Order (May 2025): On May 12, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order, "Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients," directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other agencies to compel drug manufacturers to align U.S. prices for brand-name drugs with the lowest price in a set of peer nations.
  • Direct Pharma Deals: The administration has secured agreements with over 16 major pharmaceutical companies—including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, and Eli Lilly—to reduce prices. These agreements involve offering flagship drugs at heavily discounted rates.
  • TrumpRx Portal (Feb 2026): The administration launched TrumpRx.gov, a, portal designed to connect consumers directly with manufacturers to purchase prescription drugs at discounted prices, particularly for the uninsured.
  • Threat of Tariffs: The administration has used the threat of high tariffs on pharmaceutical imports—sometimes cited as high as 100%—to pressure companies and foreign nations to comply with the new pricing structure.
  • Medicaid Price Reductions: As part of the pharma deals, manufacturers agreed to make products available to state Medicaid programs at these new lower MFN prices.
  • Targeting Middlemen (PBMs): The strategy includes efforts to bypass traditional intermediaries, such as Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), in favor of direct-to-consumer sales, aiming to remove middleman costs.

Is this like when you lied about the price of a steak in your area and Brad had to post the actual prices (which were significantly lower than you claimed)?

@spartans9312 I posted screenshots of the actual prices at my local store, you lying asshole.

So you have to Google MAGA talking points, since you can on your own think of any way you personally have benefitted with respect to affordability from anything Trump has done. 

Which makes sense.

Maybe you have to buy gas. Steak. Other groceries.  Diesel fuel and fertilizer to get crops planted. A car. Anything transported by truck.

You are a Trump rumpswab. Abject ignorance and proudly drinking the Kool-aid

I’m not a Trump supporter but I am an aficionado of unhealthy fast food.  

McDonald’s McCripy Chicken Meals (medium fries and Diet Coke so it’s healthy) in Chicagoland area are about 30% cheaper and the all-important Popeyes Two Piece Meal Economic Indicator is down about 16% from Biden-era highs.  

God Bless you, 47!!!

 

About 100 years ago, I worked at a McD's for about 18 months. The number of women coming through that drive-thru ordering "Yeah, I want a #3 with extra cheese, add bacon, supersize it, and give me two apple pies, too." "What would you like to drink?" "Diet coke."

I was always like, "F*cking why? What is the point?"

Is there a time of day where your head isn't shoved up Trump's rear and trying to tell us how great it is?

No, just defend him and accuse people of having TDS for having an anti-trump opinion.

When asked to explain Trump's assertion that prescription drugs prices went down 600%, an impossibility since that means that you would be paid to take a drug, RFK Jr. explained:

"President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction"

You just can't make this stuff up!

I suppose you could think of it as if a $10 drug rose in price to $70, that would be a 600% increase.  A moron would then think that if it then went back down to $10 it would be a 600% decrease (though it isn't).

The POTUS and CO.H both skipped that day in 3rd grade where math class covered percentages.
