So, at his most recent “rally” thing, Donold Trump was asked how he plans to bring down the cost of groceries for the average American.
I’m thinking he must expect us all to start eating word salad, because that’s all he’s ever offered.
He claimed, he would bring down the cost of groceries (and everything else that regular folks are spending too much for) by reducing energy costs by 50%…
Think about that, take all the time you need.
50%
I guess, on day one of his new presidency, he’ll sign an executive order to that effect? Because that’s pretty much the only thing a president could actually do, other than using the power of the bully pulpit to convince Congress to pass some kind of a law.
But here’s the thing… no matter how he is supposed to accomplish this feat, it’s simply not possible.
I mean, if he somehow could force all the energy producers in the country to cut their prices by half, they would either go bankrupt, or go out of business for losing money. You can’t just “cut the price” by 50%. They would lose tons of money. So much that the entire energy sector would collapse.
And isn’t the GOP all about “free markets”? How do you have a “free market” if Trumpty can come in and simply order you to charge 50% less? That’s hardly a “free market”.
I would think all those oil barons that agreed to give him huge donations in exchange for tax cuts and deregulation are not going to be all too happy when he tells them he’s just cut their profits by 50%.
Not to mention the chaos this would cause globally. Yeah yeah, I know, Trump and his clueless horde of Red Hats hate “global” anything; but, if you think you can cause global chaos in the financial and energy markets and somehow America won’t pay a price, you must have banged your head on the Giant Canadian Faucet one too many times.
Sorry but what you are saying is logical and factual therefore ineligible to MAGAs who prefer alternatives to reality.
