As temperatures soared on a sweltering July day in New York City, shoppers at Queens’s largest mall said they were feeling the heat – of rising prices.

“T-shirts, basic t-shirts, underwear, the basic necessities – the prices are going up,” said Clarence Johnson, 48, who was visiting the Macy’s at the Queen Center mall to pick up shirts he ordered online.

As Donald Trump presses on with his trade wars, retailers have been passing price increases onto customers. Department stores – which rely on a variety of imported goods and materials, from shoes to t-shirts – have particularly been scrambling to deal with the flux in prices.

I will never forget, how shortly after the election, I spoke to someone gleefully checking out their groceries. "I can't wait for prices to start coming down," she remarked, as if the mere presence of this addlebrained buffoon could have an almost instant and positive impact on our economy. As if a man who bankrupted a casino could possibly have the skills to drive down grocery prices single-handed.

I could only shake my head, "yeah that's not how tariffs work, unfortunately everything is about to go up." She made a face like she'd smelled Trump's diaper and walked away.

I've watched these imbeciles for decades, praising their Republican leaders for economies that Democrats spent 8 years rebuilding, only for those Republicans to tear it down again. Decades. This isn't a generational thing. Conservatives are rock stupid as a collective, and by definition cannot grow and change, only reveal more of their depravity and misanthropy.

They will never kick these sociopathic manipulators to the curb. Just like their deportee counterparts we've heard from recently, they'll praise him all the way to the grave. "I lost the house, but I still think Trump is the best person to lead the country."

He thanks you for your support, now please die quietly so he can shit on your lawn.

Oh, not just a casino, multiple!

Dug up from a previous post and updated:

Mango Mussolini's failed businesses:

  • At least four failed building ventures
  • Had a failed “university”
  • Failed vodka business (how hard is that, right?)
  • Failed steak business
  • Failed airline
  • Failed board game
  • Failed casinos in Atlantic City (how do you fail at running multiple businesses that only exist to hoover up money?)
  • Failed magazine
  • Failed luxury travel organization
  • Failed mortgage company
  • Failed presidency that took Pres. Biden’s administration most of their entire term to fix. We’re talking documents that are gone, departments that are deleted, abject chaos that had to be rebuilt from scratch in some cases.
  • And soon, a failed wireless "carrier" on T-Mobile with an "American-made" phone made in "Chyyna".

Successes:

  • Had mommy’s money to get him going
  • Had 5 successful buildings built, mostly in the 1980s
    • At least three of them had fraudulent financial statements, inflated valuations, and inflated tax losses
