How's it Going, Trumpers?
An open letter to the MAGAverse
Dear Trumpers:
Is it everything you thought it was going to be? The libs are crying pretty hard and Trump sure is owning them every day. The safe space elitists at Harvard aren’t feeling so safe anymore. Neither is the they/them pronoun police, the globalists and the lamestream media. We are finally sticking it to the Marxists and the Green New Deal social engineers.
It’s all going according to plan. Or is it?
Because I notice that eggs are even more expensive now than they used to be. When Sleepy Joe left the White House (or was taken out on a gurney, amirite?), a dozen eggs cost a little over four bucks. That was pretty outrageous. I mean, try making breakfast or a cake without eggs. But then I went to the store the other day and found out that eggs are now more than $6 per dozen!
That can’t be true, right? Well, I shop in New York City, so it serves me right to be paying a fortune for eggs. But the average price of eggs around the country is now $6.23. I’m not making it up. The Trump Administration provided me with these numbers.
Also, it looks like the economy isn’t going so swimmingly either. All these businesses going under! More companies are going bankrupt than at any other time in the last fifteen years. Back then, we could blame the financial crisis. I guess we could blame Sleepy Joe for this one too but it’s kind of hard because on his watch, a record number of new businesses were launched.
I was reading my favorite Rupert Murdoch tabloid today (the one that’s the sister newspaper to Fox News) when a headline grabbed me. Small businesses plead for relief from crushing costs of Trump’s tariff war — here’s how they’re trying to weather storm. Then, I flipped over to the editorial page — you know, the one that channel’s Murdoch’s thinking — and I saw another headline. Trump’s China tariffs are slamming small businesses — the heart of our economy and his own voters.
That’s weird, because I thought Trump was going to take care of us. I get why he would go after the snowflake libs but now I don’t know what to think. It’s confusing because this isn’t coming from the failing New York Times or the MSDNC. This is coming from the guy who owns Fox News!
Also, I read in the New York Post today that Trump is going to make my tomatoes more expensive this summer, which is weird, because he promised that a vote for Trump means my groceries would be cheaper. No, I mean I literally heard him say it in Pittsburgh the day before the election: “A vote for Trump means your groceries will be cheaper.” But now, he is promising to make my tomatoes more expensive and I don’t really understand why.
What’s also weird is that Trump promised not to touch anyone’s social security but then I find out that no one can get through to the Social Security offices because Elon Musk fired so many people who staff them. I thought Trump was going to get rid of Waste, Fraud and Abuse for the libs, like money to turn frogs transgender or something, but it turns out that he got rid of workers who help people sign up for Social Security and process benefits. And it’s not just in the People’s Republic of California and places like that.People in Arizona can’t get their Social Security checks. Arizona! That state delivered the election to Trump!
Also, my 401k is not doing so well lately but I’m not too worried about that. If there’s anything Trump knows about, it’s money. He made himself super rich, so he’ll do the same for me. As long as he runs America like he ran his own businesses, it’s not like he’s going to bankrupt the country, right?
Anyway, even if worst comes to worst, at least the libs will be crying.

I often think about voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, etc who refused to vote for Harris based on Biden’s handling of the Israel/Gaza war. Whether they sat out the election or voted for Trump, they helped create this situation that now includes arresting and detaining students who used, at the time, First Amendment rights.

I think the truth of Trump is very slowly sinking in to the non cult members who bought into the con and voted for him. The cultists are hopelessly insane and they will believe anything their dear leader says even if they can’t afford the basics in life. The others didn’t inform themselves, had amnesia about what an awful POTUS he was the first go round, or somehow believed his lies. If the gigantic rallies Bernie and AOC are having in Ruby red states like Utah are any indication plenty of the people who foolishly voted for Trump are also in attendance. The coffee is brewed and they’re waking up to its smell. Turns out most Americans want to live in a democracy and fear of loosing it and all else we rely on is getting people motivated including those who foolishly thought Trump was the answer. He isn’t and his rapidly declining poll numbers reflect this. Give it more time. Nothing is going to improve under Trump and more and more people will be joining the resistance.
