People don't get it yet.

In 2024, #Vance blamed #Biden for the high price of eggs. T**** took over, the price of #eggs exploded and people stopped buying eggs, causing the price to plummet.

Now, #DonTheCon's telling everyone he "cut the price of eggs 92%" (ie: still 8% higher than where he started.)

He's doing the same with the #StockMarket. He's crashing the DOW, reversing course like The Titanic spotting an iceberg, and stocks will recover just short of where they started.

It is… "fascinating" (for lack of a better word) how much of #DonTheCon's policies AND popular support is drawn from #racism.

Think of all the #DayOne promises he made & failed to achieve: Bring prices down, end the war in #Ukraine, retrieve the hostages in #Gaza… etc & so on.

"Round up gang members & terrorists and #deport them" became: going after the low-hanging fruit of UNAdjudicated migrants already in jail & foreign-born protesters on college campuses.

AND THEY DON'T CARE.

LET'S BREAK THIS DOWN:

First, #DonTheCon believed #tariffs were a tax on *foreign countries* and we could finance our entire gov't by taxing other countries.

THEN (a few weeks ago) he claimed by putting a #tariff on imports, "foreign companies could avoid paying it by making their products in the U.S.."

NOW they are claiming "This is a negotiating strategy. We'll remove OURS if you rescind YOURS"… which brings in NO jobs and makes cheap imports even CHEAPER.🤦‍♂️
