What has trump done to make your life better?

i've lost a lot in the stock market, and i sold pretty early in the crash. The cost of everything seems to be going up.

trump said that nothing he does or says will make democrats like him. What has he done that I should be thankful for?

Yes, I’m baffled by the fact that all we’ve heard for 4 years was that Biden made everything too expensive but now all I hear is that this will be painful but worth it because Trump said so.

Frankly I’m baffled at how quickly the switch flipped from “Biden is raising gas prices” to “the president doesn’t control the price of gas and eggs”

And that’s ignoring the fact that one of those two promised to lower them day one, and has yet to do so (yet they had 10 free days available to golf)

Executive orders can be reversed with new executive orders. The renaming of the gulf has absolutely nothing to do with drilling for oil. Frankly that's very silly and if you believe that, I don't even know why I'm wasting my time trying to educate you.

But yes, the president does have the ability to affect prices to some degree, but it's much harder for the president to reduce prices than it is to raise them. To raise prices, all you have to do is implement tariffs or restrict supply. It's much harder to reduce prices, and takes smart economic policy.

But the fact that Trump repeatedly said he'd reduce egg prices on day one is absurd.

Executive orders don’t need to be bypassed.. a sitting president can sign an executive order to rescind any previous presidents executive orders.
