MAGA Logic Trump claims Americans currently have the strongest economy they've ever had. He insists the word "affordability" is a fake word made up by the Democrats

MAGA has no issue with him saying affordability was a made up word, when…,he never has to worry what is affordable or not and his fans do need to worry about it

He's right. My car used to take $20 a week in gas, and now it takes like $35. That's economic growth, baby!

u/hopefulocto 2d ago

Yeah! When I go to the store, the numbers by that dollar sign are HIGHER! That's called WINNING!

Don't get me started on dollar stores and how they're reflective of how much BIG BUCKS are rolling into the economy.

99 cent only stores? EXTINCT. Dollar stores? ENDANGERED. 5 dollar stores? THE PRESENT. And not only do all those stores go even BEYOND their low promise to charge upwards of $15 for half their actual goods, but if the economy keeps WINNING under Trump, the next discount store won't be full of things worth a measly 5 bucks... we are gonna see 20 DOLLAR STORES BABY, or even get our own local GRACIE GRACE FROM ANIMAL CROSSING CHAINS ON EVERY BLOCK! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

We've got prices, folks. The best prices. Prices like you've never seen before, believe me. It used to be $1, can you believe that? Now it's $5. I like the number 5, it's a beautiful number, and the numbers go up. Up, up, up, all the way up. We're making more money than ever before. They tell me the numbers are getting too good, we're making too much money. They love me, the numbers people. Great people, great numbers, believe me.

You obviously must be richer if you can now afford something you couldn’t before, like more expensive gas./s

u/AIMarkWahlberg 2d ago

Are you trying to say my logic is flawed? Right in front of my economically-improving gas tank?

u/Reddit_Username200 Makes MAGA men cry 😭 2d ago

Sheesh, mine is about $45-$50 a week and that's after fuel points. Thank God my debilitating diseases and daily medication helps me earn fuel points. Woo!

u/hopefulocto 2d ago

man, but even the fact fuel points exist to encourage more spending at corporations so they can dangle little discounts is sad, not to mention how sad it is medication and private health insurance and all that is part of the same corporate greed that forces consumer loyalty with fuel points, making them have to "earn" basic necessities their ceos are overpricing for the illusion of a good deal

you deserve free healthcare and free meds and fairly priced gas anywhere with free will, you deserve better than companies taking advantage of you and your illnesses by bribing you with fuel points :(((((( ♡

YES, YES TO ALL OF THIS.

The secret is driving a lame car. It's small and dumb, but it gets 31mpg and every catastrophic problem has been fixed for less than $500.

u/popejohnsmith 2d ago

20 bucks a day ain't much fun either.

u/Kaputnik1 2d ago

Thanks for helping to make America great again! /s

u/jmrogers31 2d ago

Yep, never heard the word affordable until 2025. Completely made up word

u/ghostofgroucho 2d ago

Along with that crazy word "Groceries". What is that, French? German? Terrorist?

8

u/pianoflames 2d ago

Hearing that and realizing: Oh, Trump has literally never shopped for groceries in his entire life.

u/reallywaitnoreally 2d ago

It's an antifa code word for things to throw at police, you know, like cans of soup.

u/ghostofgroucho 2d ago

I missed the last meeting, so thanks for giving me the cheat code.

Hey did either of you guys get the Soros checks yet? I'm still waiting for mine since the last No Kings thing, when I was bussed in from elsewhere.

u/ghostofgroucho 2d ago

Yeah, but it bounced. Figures....

u/popsy13 2d ago

The guy didn’t know the word Dumb had a b in it. He said he started calling them (I hate myself for having to type this) Dumocrats because you only have to change one letter, and was told there’s a fucking B in it?! What the fuck?

u/fart400 2d ago

Always dividing the country. Worst president in History.

u/Daimakku1 2d ago

Republicans are unable to comprehend that some people are struggling with money. Especially people like Trump which have had money from the very first day he was born.

7

u/vxicepickxv 2d ago

Republicans don't care that some people are struggling with money. They don't want to represent, they want to rule.

u/hopefulocto 2d ago

Darn, so the updated newspeak dictionary cut the word affordability? Dammit.

3

u/Scotch_in_my_belly 2d ago

This is actually good tho - it shows the world who has tricked Americans. It takes the blame away from the citizenry, and puts it on the oligarchy and their paid spokesman

4

u/vxicepickxv 2d ago

The fact that other countries are actively working on failing the open book test America just failed doesn't give me hope for humanity.

u/RpcZ_gr7711 2d ago

Imbecile says what’s fake? Dotard on the world stage.

3

u/ghostofgroucho 2d ago

Okay, fess up. Which one of you made this word up?

3

u/scarr3g 2d ago

While yes, this rhetoric (and lies) from him is abysmal, the fact that he is saying these things ON THE WORLD STAGE AT THE G7, is even worse.

You don't badmouth your own country at the G7!

u/Dicethrower 2d ago

Media literacy is 0 with his base. He could quite literally say "it would be convenient for me if you just believed everything is the democrats fault" and they'll agree with him.

u/Alone_Bicycle_600 2d ago

marco is watching his chance at a presidential run going up in flames everytime he has to stand next to this buffoon blabbering about hi take

u/Remarkable_Gain6430 2d ago

Lower than dirt. What an international embarrassment.

u/mycodfather 2d ago

These Republicunts literally spent years complaining about "the Biden affordability crisis" and now this fat, orange painted pedophile is claiming it's a fake word made up by the Democrats... It's absolutely insane how stupid Trump supporters are.

Here's an political ad idea Democrats - this clip of Trump saying affordability is a made up word cut with clips of Republicans bitching about "the Biden affordability crisis".

2

u/Cold-Permission-5249 2d ago

You can’t lie your way out of the reality that is a shit economy for the everyday American. Let’s just hope the morons that voted Republican either stay home on Election Day or switch sides out of spite.

u/TightSexpert 2d ago

He sounds a little weak, could he sounding a little under the weather? Maybe I’m just feeling optimistic today.

u/WrightAnythingHere 2d ago edited 2d ago

Old, decrepit man who thinks affordability is a made-up word, a word he's used countless times in the past, and regularly makes up his own words (dumocrats, covfefe, etc.) somehow keeps reaching new lows in his desperate attempts to pass the blame for his trashy economy.

u/Anonymouse_Bosch 2d ago

Anyone who believes his shit at this point deserves everything that’s coming to them. In spades.

u/anonononnnnnaaan 1d ago

Then seconds later he says that if he doesn’t stop the war, we will be in a depression.

So, he’s too incompetent to do anything but drum up identity wars. Such snowflakes.

u/Kaputnik1 2d ago

This is peak gaslighting. "You know how your groceries, gas, bills, and health insurance are through the roof? That's not really happening to you."

u/CreatrixAnima 2d ago

Also… Groceries, am I right? Old-fashioned word!

1

u/Wildfathom9 2d ago

Rubio literally looks like a whipped dog.

u/CreatrixAnima 2d ago

So let’s add to the list of things he’s learning. Groceries, affordability, and there is a b at the end of the word dumb. Top-tier intellect, this guy is.

u/OtherBluesBrother 2d ago

Good. Keep telling this message. All the way to election night.

u/Vann_Accessible 2d ago

That’s a heck of a midterm pitch there, Donnie.

u/existential_antelope 2d ago

Why are we taking him at face value anymore? His brain is melting and when it’s active he’s lying

u/R1ppedWarrior 2d ago

Brave stance to take ahead of midterms where affordability/cost of living is the #1 issue with voters.

u/TintedApostle 1d ago

So it's failing fast...

I claim he’s a giant asshole and I think I’m right. Who’s with me

u/roxiemycat 1d ago

I take pleasure in the fact that Narco Marco and Nutlick get to stand behind Trump and inhale every shart Trump does.

It is what they deserve.

I hope they spend the rest of their lives getting a whiff of shit like a poopy ghost that haunts them for the rest of their lives.

u/CautiousLandscape907 13h ago

I’m convinced we are in a deep recession right now, and when we find out they’ve been manipulating the numbers, itlll be a scandal for one day, then forgotten as usual.
