Hello “Basement Dwellers,” Trump Thanks You for Believing His Lies

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump’s entire life has depended on making complete fools of others. Not once in his life has he found it necessary or convenient to tell the truth. The orange buffoon is the ultimate con man.

Those of you who continue to support him, those he refers to as “basement dwellers,” are the biggest fools of all. If you believe he will do anything he says if elected, there is something seriously wrong with your thought process. The evidence is undeniable, and to choose ignorance is purely moronic.

Without his “basement dwellers,” Trump would be nothing but a cartoon, a caricature in the New Yorker Magazine. However, Trump would never see it: he is not intelligent enough to read the magazine, if he can read at all.

BE HONEST: NOT A SINGLE PROMISE TRUMP MADE IN 2016 WAS REALIZED

Trump does nothing because he knows nothing. Not a single accomplishment was recorded between 2017 and 2021 with the exception of tax cuts for the super-rich and huge corporations.

In his campaign commercials, Trump claims that inflation was the result of the policies of Biden and Harris: untrue. It was created by Trump’s friends, greedy corporations. Here are the facts about Trump’s failed administration.

[The economy lost 2.7 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.7 percentage points to 6.4%.

The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 36.3% from 2016.

The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.

The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.

Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.

Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016.

Coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 25%.

Handgun production rose 12.5% last year compared with 2016, setting a new record. The murder rate last year rose to the highest level since 1997.]

Although the mainstream media fails to report the good news, under the Biden-Harris administration, the economy is the best it has been since Bill Clinton was in office.

I AM NOT SORRY

I am sorry that Trump’s basement dwellers choose ignorance over facts, but I am not sorry for them. They voted for him in 2016 and they’re stupid enough to repeat their crimes in 2024.
