and rational thought and that is my problem.

I mean, politically how in the hell is the MAGA base going to suffer financially with huge price gouging, etc yet continue to support the person responsible for so many of their current and future financial losses? On a personal level, even his base has to buy food and they can not afford it either.

This increase should be the nail in his political coffin. I just do not understand the reasoning at all.
