    My Dad told me during a ride in his truck that he was voting for Trump again because he lowered prices for things in his first term and thought he’d do it again. Every bit of news I have seen of him since is shit that’s making Dads financial situation worse.

      Thats because Obama fixed an economy a republican had broken, and it took a long time to reverse that. How were things by the end of this cheeto nazi’s first term?

      Unforgivable to remotely support this pedophile who wants to murder anyone he doesn’t like, and this has been known about him for decades. Look at the central park five amd his years of vommentary about his own daughter, all before the first term.

      Your dad has zero fucking morals.

        I don’t really blame my Dad for it, he’s in a pretty bad spot money-wise. He has to support him, my stepmom, my sister, my two stepsisters PLUS the newborn twins one of them just had, my little brother, my cousin that lives with us, two dogs, a turtle, AND myself whenever I come over. We had so many people living with us at one point he had to set up some new walls and doors in what used to be my little brothers toy room to turn it into two separate bedrooms.

        He voted for Trump entirely because of his belief that if he became president again, we would be as financially stable as we were when he was first president. Back when we could afford going on a camping trip twice a year, back when our fridge was regularly stocked with ingredients to make our own lunches, back when he could afford to buy a whole 200$ game console for my birthday, ect. That hasn’t ended up happening and every time I get a glimpse at the news he’s not any closer to doing that. If my Dad was ever a “Trump supporter” I doubt he is now.

          Trump’s entire first term economy was good because the stupid shit he is doing now was blocked by the norms that used to exist. He coasted on Obama’s recovery till the pandemic.

      What prices did he lower? I thought you guys were having a pandemic and that he was riding on Obama’s economy.

        I wouldn’t know cause I was 12 when he first got elected, too busy playing my PS3 and talking with my friends on Google+ to check the current state of the economy.
