    If you think Trump will make your milk cheaper, you’re supremely delusional. He’s gonna give his corporate buddies massive tax breaks and crank up taxes on everyone else, which includes you if you’re not a billionaire.

      That’s true but his messaging is heads and shoulders better. The longer Biden insists that the people are wrong and the economy is actually doing great, the worse it will get. People aren’t dumb, but they aren’t geniuses either. They can see their purchasing power is severely restricted from pre-covid times. Without training in economics, politics, and policy; they just aren’t going to be able to realize that it was a coincidence more than anything Trump did for them.
