Not perfect , by any means; but at least recognizable.

Then you can't complain when people point out that he lied to you to get elected.

Ok?

I think the left here is getting ahead of themselves. Trump isn't even in office yet. He said they will rapidly drive down grocery prices. Starting day one. He didn't say he was going to drive down prices on day one. He said they would drive them down rapidly. You don't know what he is going to do or how long it's going to take. Rapidly means quickly. How fast is that by the way? A day, week, month year? If prices start coming down in a year or two I would say that's rapid. Especially in comparison to the difficulty of the task. But well see how long it takes.

I trust Trump over Biden or the MSM any day.

Everything will be ok.

He'll be accountable for every single lie. They'll be published everywhere. His quotes will be shown. What he promised will be confirmed. And the reality will be spelled out in simple terms so that those who fell for his lies will know they've been fooled.

He's already started it. He's already started to make excuses.

Right, and likely the Trump supporter will join the ex-Trump supporters in regret to having voted for himm.

Didn't happen last time. In fact he picked up voters he didn't have last time.

I'm afraid we entered "When Prophecy Fails" territory a long time ago.

Some subset of Trump supporters will only double down in their support, no matter what happens, because admitting the reality makes them out as chumps.

Yes, and it looks like he may be getting ready to sell the old ones out. He's already said he won't restrict mifepristone and he has put a union man in as Secretary of Labor. What next?

......ummm....what's your point?

My point is that both Clinton and Trump brought shame to the presidency with their male locker room perversions. And yet people still approve of them, as if "guys will be guys". Trumps victory was as much about gender identity issues as it was about the economy. People seem to want "a man's man" in the oval office. A man like in the good old days when men ruled. Not like today.

But this is all quite off the OP. So let's track grocery prices and see where it goes.

Eggs sure seem to be the wild thing. because of Bird Flu. Can a president do anything about that?

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

data.bls.gov

For more than two years, farmers have fought a battle with a fatal strain of bird flu that continues to disrupt the U.S. egg supply. At one point, the shortage sent the price of a dozen regular eggs soaring to almost $5. Prices retreated somewhat, but they remain volatile.

Egg prices were recently at an all-time high because a three-year-long bird flu battle has devastated flocks of egg-laying hens.

At which point would you say that he hasn't brought them down rapidly?

Psychologists have been having conferences and meeting regarding the psychology of Trump and his supporters.

Considering the alternative ("the context of which you exist " ), I highly doubt it.

What reality are you talking about. There isn't any reality yet. He's not in office. Geez you guys are acting like he's been in office for years and has totally failed in everything. Dan we please wait and see?

Wait... I forgot who I was talking to. Of course we can't. If food prices haven't dropped in half by Jan 30, Trump has totally failed.

Trump was in office for four years and didn't have any issues. Or did you forget that?

Trumps victory was as much about gender identity issues as it was about the economy. People seem to want "a man's man" in the oval office. A man like in the good old days when men ruled. Not like today.

As opposed to having a man who claims to be a woman? Yes we prefer that. Apparently we prefer that to a real woman as well.

Eggs sure seem to be the wild thing. because of Bird Flu. Can a president do anything about that?

Yes rhe president can lay a few eggs......

Badum.
