Shocker: I Have Learned that Trump Lied. He Will not Lower Grocery Prices and Supports Billionaires!

These two articles appear to have no relationship to the other. However, the truth is, they fit like a hand in a glove.

“Trump backtracks on vow to lower grocery costs”

“Mark Zuckerberg donates $1M to Trump after suppressing political content”

I hate social media. Most Americans will believe anything if it fits closely with their own, uninformed beliefs. Mark Zukerberg, the owner of “Facebook/Meta, strongly supports Trump for one reason: Trump gives tax breaks to billionaires. However, he has no interest in the truth.

This may surprise you, but the truth is, if Trump’s lips are moving, he’s lying. Not once in his lifetime has he told the truth in public.

Now, let’s put one and one together. Trump will do nothing to lower the prices of necessities. However, everything will become more expensive if he places huge tariffs on imported goods. Billionaires own the corporations which produce our food and other necessary goods to maintain life. Zuckerberg is a billionaire. Need I say more?

Here are other things Trump lied about, and if you were unaware of the facts before you voted, and you voted for the orange buffoon, you can be classified as a moron.

Trump will alter Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid: but not for the better. If he can reduce the yearly costs, he can give more tax breaks to the super-rich. This is literally theft. Every dollar I receive from Social Security came from my contributions over more than 40 years, and those of my employers.

Trump will allow big oil to raise their prices whenever they wish, and continue to honor their annual tax breaks.

The IRS tax code contains a ridiculous 6,871 pages. Nearly every page of this document contains opportunities for the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

I ask you: if you live in America, are “all men created equal,” and does every American have the same opportunity to obtain the “American Dream?”

The facts prove that only the super-rich enjoy the America promised by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. One-half of all Americans struggle weekly to maintain a safe and secure existence for themselves and their families. If one of their loved ones has a medical emergency, they will likely lose everything they possess and become homeless.

The United States has the worst and most expensive healthcare system in the world. We are the only nation without universal healthcare. Therefore, only the wealthy receive treatment from the best healthcare professionals and facilities.

The cost of higher education has become so expensive that only the wealthy can afford to attend our colleges and universities. Each year thousands of our greatest young minds will be wasted. This is why America is last in education among developed nations. Most importantly, we are at the bottom of the list when the subject is quality of life.

Everything, and I mean everything, will become worse under Donald Trump’s rule; again.

When Trump was evicted from the White House, more than 300,000 Americans had become unemployed, and our nation’s economy was moving towards a second Great Depression.
