Trump's Speech

Live-Blogging of Donald Trump's Economic Speech: Tales from the Crypt

Donald inherited a mess and he's fixing it.

He blames life being unaffordable due to the Democratic Biden Administration.

25 million people, many of whom were criminals, drug dealers with no border control.

[Comment: He is batsh*t crazy, he really believes what he is saying]

Biden crushed the dreams of the American people: Flooded your cities with crime, preying on the innocent.

He brought peace to the middle east for the first time in 3,000 years. Lets look at the facts:

After one year, he has achieved more than anyone can even imagine. He stopped people coming over the border. In a few short months, we went from the worst to the best. DC is

We busted the drug cartels, drugs coming in by sea are down 94%.

Under Biden, gas, airfares, hotels were much higher. A Thanksgiving turnkey was done 38%.

Wages are rising up must faster than inflation. More . 100% of all jobs have been in the private sector rather than the government.

He secured 18.3 trillion investments in the U.S.

Much has been accomplished by his favored word: Tariffs. Countries know if they build in the U.S. there are no tariffs.

450k service members will receive $1776. before country.

[Comment: I think he got a huge B-12 shot before coming on. He's talking way too fast, like a motormouth.]

Last year we had the worst military recruitment rate in history. Now we have the best.

He's lowered the cost of the prescriptions by as much as 600%.

[Comment: Does that solve the problem of the massive insurance premium hikes Americans are paying starting in January?

He wants to privatize insurance, claiming the money will go to the people, who can buy their own insurance. He blasts Obamacare.

The radical left Democrats exploited the green energy scam. That's why so many people saw their electric bills soars.

He's going to bring gas down to $1.99 a gallon (Comment: How, by stealing Venezuela's oil?).

We're going to get a new chairman of the Federal Reserve who will reduce mortage rates.

We have never been invaded. The worst thing Biden did was the invasion of the border. The undocumented flooded our country and got health care at taxpayer expense.

As the thousands of foreign migrants and undocumented leave, jobs will be available to Americans. [Comment: Are these jobs Americans will want?]

One year ago, our country was dead and ready to fail.

Our country is back, stronger than ever. When the world sees us next year, they will see a nation faithful to its people.

Have a merry Christmas. [Comment: Thank goodness it's already over. There's virtually no debate on the cable news stations. Right wing networks like News Nation have one guest on, some shill for Trump. MSNBC had one host who used to be Biden's press secretary with a single boring guest. Time to turn back to the Survivor finale, and tonight's new episode of "Dinastia de Casillas" on Telemundo, where even the rival, warring cartel leaders and corrupt military generals are more honest with both their own people and their enemies than Trump is with the American people.]

    600% drop in the price of my Mounjaro and Eliquis. That oughtta put about $15k in my pocket after they pay me for taking their drugs.

    Medicare picked up the cost (none / 0) (#2)

    in 2025 after you pay $2,000. in out of pocket drug costs and will again in 2026 once you hit a $2,100 out of pocket maximum. It used to be around $8,000. This was done by Biden, not Trump, through eliminating the infamous "donut hole". After you hit the $2,100., almost every brand name and generic drug is free for the rest of the year. Until then, if you have a good supplemental Part D drug plan ( AARP has some good ones), the plan will pick up around 1/3 of the cost. Medicare Advantage plans may be different.

    it up.

    I was being snarky at Dementia Donny's complete lack of understanding of basic numbers. He said it tonight, again, about 600 to 1000% decreases in the price of drugs. Only a complete idiot would say or believe that. It is mathmatically impossible. A 600% discount on anything would mean the seller would be paying the buyer 5x the purchase price. Not a recipe for for a profitable business.

    Trump's target audience is people who've had a 1000% decrease in their cognitive abilities over the last decade or so.

    Trump's final phase will be turning into something like Count Vladimir Harkonnen in Dune - while the fawning Hannitys of the world tell him how distinguished-looking and presidential he is.

    his butt-ugly face on everything, like the National Park Pass.

    And now he has named the Kennedy Center after himself.

    "The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to name the institution The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts," spokesperson Roma Daravi said in a statement.  

    "The unanimous vote recognizes that the current Chairman saved the institution from financial ruin and physical destruction. The new Trump Kennedy Center reflects the unequivocal bipartisan support for America's cultural center for generations to come," the statement added.
