    Duh? His plan is to slash regulations and increase tariffs meaning companies will be able to set whatever price they want without oversight and blame it on other countries retaliatory tariffs all while laughing all the way to the bank after buying any and all competition.

      Do they think there is a switch in the oval office that you can turn from expensive groceries to cheap groceries? Like with oil?

    I mean, his trade war mentality the first time is what put us in this situation to begin with. I don’t know how anyone will be surprised when the price of literally everything starts skyrocketing again next year.

      The average person is incredibly dumb.

    • I have had multiple people claim this at me this over the last few days and when challenged thus far nobody has actually be able to articulate how he or for that matter anyone else in his entourage plans to do this, especially in light of Republicans consistently and steadfastly working against any and all minimum wage increases at least since Nixon.

      So, the ball’s in your court.

      “Trump will raise wages.”

      Okay, smart guy, how?
