Trump plans a "national public-appearance blitz" to convince consumers they're not paying MORE for EVERYTHING

Donald Trump is preparing a national public-appearance blitz amid concerns that he is ignoring the financial anxiety of tens of millions of Americans.

The president will appear in the key swing state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday to try to convince voters that his economic plans are working, with additional events expected this month and into the new year across the country, Axios reports.

The nationwide push comes as Trump faces mounting criticism that he is too focused on foreign policy during his second term and increasingly out of touch with how Americans are struggling in a cost-of-living crisis.

On Thursday, a devastating Politico poll found that nearly half (46 percent) of U.S. adults say the cost of living is the “worst they can ever remember it being,” including 37 percent of voters who supported Trump in 2024.

The MAGAs flog QANON for years. Epstein is all over Trump.
Trump and the MAGAs invent "Sleepy Joe." Trump can't keep his eyes open through televised cabinet meetings.
Trump made "groceries" his thing. The prices of food staples and groceries in general are through the roof.
Trump wanted a "War Department." He immediately commits a war crime.

It's like Trump wished for a second term from a genie who will twist every part of the wish against him!

And I'm not going to believe a sociopathic 79 year old rapist & felon telling me we got as much for that $212 as we did a year ago.

Didn't somebody already take a shot at him in Pennsylvania for no reason whatsoever?

There will be a lot of people in PA with BIGLY reasons to cut short the rally. if you know what I mean

What am I saying??? I hope he goes everywhere and gives out vouchers from Costco for groceries,

Yeah, right that's going to happen. What a jolly Santa he would make! Until you look at his cruel eyes,

Gotta boost his spirits these days!

Hopefully, the tour will so exhaust him that "the big one" will become a reality and he'll finally take his "dirt nap".

A somewhat populated area of the Commonwealth that supported him in his last election. Also where Biden spent time growing up.

I'm sure that Trump will spin around in circles talking about how bad Biden was, how he got all the votes in Biden's home town, how everyone in that corner of the state loves him, how many new jobs the tariffs are bringing, how he thought about building a casino in that part of the state, how hot Melania is ...and then totally forget about talking about "affordability". It's a Democratic con anyway, don't you know.
