On Mondays episode of The Ingraham Angle, the MAGA host asked Trump whether there is negative voter perception of the economy, or if more work needs to be done to tackle issues such as rising food costs and unemployment figures.
More than anything else, its a con job by the Democrats, Trump replied. They put out something, say, Today costs are up. They feed it to the anchors at ABC, CBS and NBC and CNN.
Its such a rigged system. So are you ready? Costs are way down. Gasoline is going to be hitting $2 pretty soon, or around $2. Gasoline is at 2.70 now, and it was at 4.50 under Biden, under Sleepy Joe, Trump added, despite the national average currently being a little over $3.
Ingraham then interrupted Trump to ask whether voters are misconceiving their feelings about the economy. Trump did not answer, and instead the 79-year-old veered off into a rambling attack on former Vice President Kamala Harris 2024 campaign.

That didn't work out so well. But he's completely living on Bull shit fed to him by the cloud of idiots around him. The emperor has no clothes.

And how in the hell can she not burst out laughing when he says Sleepy Joe? I've NEVER seen Joe sleep in the Oval Office chair for 20 minutes like he just did a few days ago.
One of these days I'm going to wake up.
It was all just a bad dream.
