“I’m just saying [children] don’t need to have 30 dolls, they can have three, they don’t need to have 250 pencils, they can have five,” Trump said.

Before it was 2 dolls instead of 30, or a 93% reduction.

Now it's 5 pencils instead of 250, or a 98% reduction.

But more broadly, if I were Trump, I don't think that I'd be focusing public attention on standard-of-living reductions among American children.

When these fakes say anything it's never the truth. I guess the point is they want us to get tired of them so we just don't even listen anymore.

The only people I can think of that buy 250 pencils at once are teachers.

This whole blame your predecessor for everything is just a privilege of the office. The problem is that you can't keep it up for long and the real pain from his policies are weeks and months away.

Trump inherited a very healthy economy from Biden. The giant shitstorm that he has created is to blame for everything negative.

It's so extremely moronic that people voted for Trump because they thought he would fix inflation. 🙄
