"It’s Sunday, and Trump is saying we all need to 'shut up.' Seriously. He just posted a headline that reads: 'Shut up about egg prices—Trump is saving consumers billions.'

First, he is causing consumers to lose 'trillions,' not 'save billions.' Trump has tanked the markets, causing trillion-dollar losses to 401(k)s and pensions."

"He has also gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which forced companies engaged in fraud to repay billions of dollars to consumers.

Second, how dare he! Trump ran a fraudulent campaign on the premise that he would bring down prices (which were already going down under Biden) on day one and that he would make a peace deal in Ukraine before he even took office—or in 24 hours."

"The about-face about this clear-as-day promise reminds me so much of this quote from Hannah Arendt about lies and totalitarian leaders:

'In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and nothing was true.'"

"'I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big. We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing. And there are always periods of, it takes a little time. It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us,' Trump said."
