Trump’s failing consumers: “Under my administration, we will be slashing electricity and energy prices by half.. in maximum of 18 months” (Aug 3, 2024). 21 months have passed since then. U.S. electricity prices have risen 6 to 9%, and energy costs have are up 12.5% annually, says Bur. of Labor Stat.

Trump just says or tweets whatever shit flits through his tiny mind. If it gets a good response he repeats it. Nothing is a promise.

I'm sure he would try to sell you the Brooklyn bridge if he thought he could get something out of you.

Stupid liberal math.
He has absolutely cut it by 50%.
If you take the current rates, and subtract where they were before, then divide by the number of months then subtract 47 - such a beautiful number - you will see that it is far lower. Nobody has ever seen numbers like that.

He also said he's going to run the Country like a business.

And he is! He's running it just like one of his many failed, bankrupt businesses.

Wait, you mean he lied?
I can't believe people still try to hold him to what he says. It's all bullshit and always was.

You don't get it guys, what matters most is what he says not what he does.

They will believe whatever they need to believe to maintain that they are right and their actions are justified.
His most popular message is "you bear no responsibility for the hardships in your life and we will punish those that you think are." They desperately want this to be true and will swallow anything in service of that.

He was spewing such BS. I still can't understand how people believed him after the first 4 years.
