Surprise Surprise: Donald Trump is Not Going to Lower Consumer Prices
Told you so.
Despite campaign promises that he and his new administration would lower prices for the American People.
Here he is on the campaign trail making that promise at a grocery store.
Well, now President-Elect Donald Trump is saying, not so fast.
In an interview with Time Magazine, the person who set the record for lies told by an American Chief Executive while in office, said:
“It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up,” Trump says. “You know, it’s very hard.”
In the same interview, he said he would start the process of pardoning January 6 Domestic Terrorists within hours after his inauguration and that it would take more, again contrary to a campaign promise, than 24 hours to settle the war between Ukraine and Russia.
He was also very vague about a ban on the abortion pill.
Surprise, Surprise.
Again, told you so.
With Republicans in Congress along with MAGA allies seeking to extend the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy while looking to make cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (Tamer variations of the earlier repressive Rick Scott wish list,) this country is about to take a ride on the plutocratic train and there is no room for middle and working class passengers.
Again, told you so.
For Those Who Still Believe in Reality. Watch President Joe Biden Deliver Remarks on the United States Economy.
For those who still believe in reality. Watch President Joe Biden deliver remarks on the United States Economy. It is important to remember that historically speaking Reagan, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama won re-election with less impressive economic numbers.
What does that say about 77 million American Citizens who put misinformation and the lies of a twice impeached-34 times convicted failed President over the reality of the American Economy?
Very sad indeed.
“Will No One Rid Me of These Meddlesome Political Opponents?”
In a play on the famous quote from Murder in the Cathedral when King Henry II of Britain, frustrated with Thomas Beckett, openly asks "will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?," Democracy's Docket's head Marc Elias and his team, after watching Donald Trump's Meet the Press Interview with Kristen Welker on December 8, 2024, cited that literary comment after hearing the 34 time convicted and twice impeached President-Elect say it is up to his Attorney General and F.B.I. nominees (Pamela Bondi and Kash Patel) to pursue investigations of his political opponents by writing in a daily release:
“Will No One Rid Me of These Meddlesome Political Opponents?”
Please watch the exchange between Welker and Trump below.
Talk about a wink and a nod.
Does anyone really think Bondi and Patel are not going to be looking for payback on the people they feel wronged their dear leader?
Come on.
As Elias said in his daily email release, Trump, like Henry II, may not have given the order, but his people sure know what he wants them to do.
Look for them to oblige him.
The President-Elect also made news in that interview saying he could not guarantee prices would not go up for the American consumer if the tariffs he proposes are instituted.
He also indicated he was leaning on pardoning the people who launched the Domestic Insurrectionist Attack on the Nation's Capitol in his name on January 6, 2021.
He also said he wanted to help college graduate Dreamers while deporting the other ones with their parents.
Please watch the full interview below.
This is not what the people who were suckered into voting for him in November wanted.
Do you think he or his people care about that?
If you think they do, I can tell you what Wednesday's winning Powerball numbers will be.
Democrats and Republican Senators with spines need to oppose these dangerous picks and call for nominees that will put the law and country over retribution over imagined offenses and the soon to be Chief Executive Fascist Demagogue.

More Good News from Bideonmics: 227,000 More New Jobs and Record Travel for the Holiday Season
The United States Economy added 227,000 more new jobs in November.
The Unemployment rate did tick up to 4.2 percent which still shows the country at statistically full employment.
The job numbers for September and October were revised upward.
Travel during the Thanksgiving Holiday set a new record.
In a White House Press Statement, President Joe Biden stated:
"America’s comeback continues. Today’s report shows that the economy created 227,000 jobs in November, as Boeing machinists returned to work with record wage gains and hurricane recovery continued. Unemployment of 4.2% is in the same low range of the past seven months. This has been a hard-fought recovery, but we are making progress for working families."
"Since I took office, the economy has created more than 16 million jobs, with jobs created every single month. Unemployment has been the lowest on average of any administration in 50 years. Incomes are up almost $4,000 more than prices. While there is more to do to lower costs, we’ve taken action to lower prescription drug prices, health insurance premiums, utility bills, and gas prices that will pay dividends for years to come."
For those who do not appreciate the Biden/Harris record, Bidenonomics helped do this.
Donald Trump had nothing to do with this and his recent attempts to take credit for positive national and international developments since his re-election in November is nothing more than his usual dosage of grandstanding opportunism and lying misinformation.
He pulled this turnabout crap when he succeeded Barack Obama, taking credit for the Obama/Biden Economy.
Do not let him get away with taking the credit again.
He did nothing.
