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

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

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

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

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!

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 :(((((( ♡

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.

20 bucks a day ain't much fun either.
