Trump: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation"

Last edited Tue May 12, 2026, 07:30 PM - Edit history (1)

I think he's telling the truth for a change.

Trump on Iran War:

Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?

Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

This coming from a billionairre, who has grifted his whole presidency. He don't give a shit about any of us. It's all about how many benjamins he can stuff in his pants. And because of his bullshit policies, millions are now suffering from no federal assistance for food or healthcare.

How can any of this now be the norm?

I just can't wait for the 18 cent decrease in gas from no fed tax? Remember that? Has anyone seen that savings yet? This is f'ing ridiculous.

That 18 cents is history in a month or less as traders globally discover what a long term mess the lunatic has caused.

Keep it up, Donnie. You're our secret weapon.

Of course that won't make a hill of beans difference for some, particularly in CERTAIN SECTIONS of the US (reference to an earlier thread.) He could literally eat a live infant on national TV and the majority of certain people in certain places would still cheer him.

Though you're particular demographic puts the wind at your back, you always find a way to make it a little easier for the opposition.

20. Another Possible Ad
Tue May 12, 2026, 07:48 PM
11 hrs ago

OK here’s another ad for the Dems:

A family is watching the TV news as the parents explain to the kids that they are sorry, but they just don’t have enough money to get them the meal that they really want to have.

The screen then shows the “president” making the statement about not being concerned about American’s financial situation.

The next shot shows the stunned faces of first one, and then the other, parent, followed by a shot showing both of them just looking at each other, dumbfounded, with tRump rambling on in the background. The camera then pulls back and shows the parents looking at each other with continued disbelief, while the kids look down at their dismal meal

Make this ad or something similar to it, and run it NOW! Strike while the political iron is hot. Democrats continually fail to CRAFT and then MAINTAIN the narrative! And hammer at it for a month or for however long the finances can afford. Then you start showing it again at the end of summer.

Note: I am not a paid political consultant, but “Brother/DNC, can you spare a dime?”.…. 😎🤓

...maybe with some updated lyrics.

Check back here in a couple of years. I'm thinking it's going to look a lot like 1932 at that time.
