Michael is hitting the nail on the head. Trump doesn't have a plan to reduce the cost of living.
People will learn a long, hard lesson...

[BLACKWOLF-]

The government has no control over prices. To bad his loyalist don't know that.

[jeanponton]

Tariffs if used haphazardly will cost us more and hurt the economy and jobs

[tomzambito]

Did he deliver on his promises the last time. Simple answer, no.

The richest nation in the world complains for prize of EGGS. Imagine what the rest of the world's egg eaters must think like snakes 😂😂😂😂

Wow the Republican is totally ignoring the Jobs created by the Infrastructure Act and the Chips and Science Act I’m wondering when Republicans will start to take credit for those. Are they planning to cut the child care and Union part of those Acts to benefits the Corporations rather than the workers ?

[douglowry]

Many years ago I worked for a company that started at minimum wage. The biggest increase was when the government increased minimum wage. Republicans will not be increasing minimum wage.

Gas is 2.68 in Missouri let’s see how long that lasts-

[coreyham]

OMG ... listening to these GOP idiots who continually deflect to whatever their partisan political BS is far too annoying to keep listening to. Bye bye.

I've never felt better about being an expat.

[jim]

MSNBC, why do you put on this butt plug from American Compass?

[AbAy-umch]

Republicans: cant afford eggs, more tariffs, get a job😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[allyhartwell]

Listening to Needham spouting his nonsense made me realise that we're going to be exposed to 4 years of having to listen to people like this on every news channel.

[Plutoman]

Wow. My first thought after listening to this guy was, ah, "are for real dude" ??

[epochchange]

As soon as Dump takes office, we are never going to hear another word about high prices or inflation again, because it was never about that in the first place. Just plain fealty and bending the knee. Mark my words.

[PYEGUY]

He said if you elect me, you won't need to vote again. Pleasing voters don't matter any longer.

[douglowry]

In 1984, most workers were unionized, now it is the minority.companies do not increase wages for the working class unless they have to.

[harvieaaronsamson]

Maam I think it's time to run away from that country.

[cpirtle]

He's already started and he hasn't even been sworn in yet.

[TariqRaqib-joxl]
