Hifi does not happen in a vacuum.  Funny how that works!

Trump and his oligarchs are and  will be fine with higher prices.  Especially when they get their big tax cuts and other new big slices of the government pie.  The serfs who think he is one of them?  I have my doubts for many. 
 

We Americans love fast food and braindead tv shows.  Some people can only afford cheap.  Very inconvenient eh?

Ranking U.S. presidents by the number of lies told per day while in office reveals significant differences, particularly highlighting Donald Trump's presidency. Here’s a summary based on available data:

1. **Donald Trump**: 
   - During his first term, Trump made an average of **21 false or misleading claims per day**, totaling **30,573 claims** according to The Washington Post. Other sources, like the Toronto Star, reported an average of **6 false claims per day** from January 2017 to June 2019, but the higher figure from The Washington Post is more widely cited as indicative of his overall presidency [[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump).

2. **Other Presidents**: 
   - While the search results did not provide specific daily averages for other presidents, it is noted that Trump's lying has been characterized as unprecedented in American politics. Historians and political analysts have described him as the most prolific liar in the history of the presidency, with no close second [[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump).

3. **Comparison with Previous Presidents**: 
   - Historically, other presidents have been known to stretch the truth or mislead, but none have been documented to the extent of Trump. For example, previous presidents have occasionally lied, but Trump's approach has been described as a systematic and strategic use of falsehoods [[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump).

In summary, Donald Trump stands out significantly in terms of the number of lies told per day while in office, with no other president coming close to his documented figures.

I did an AI search that said Trump averaged 13 lies or misleading statements a day during his first term. 

Maybe we have entered The Twilight Zone and there is a cornfield out there somewhere with our name on it. 

TDS is just another way to blame others. Too bad people actually repeat such propoganda and give it life. 

Fake news!  Fake News!  Raaagh!  🦜

Those that suffer from TDS are so intellectually challenged

You mean the people who defend everything he says true or false and prop him up no matter what he does right or wrong?  Like those talking heads on TV?  I’d agree that’s not normal.  

Hate to say it but at root cause, it’s all about Trump’s insecurities that drive him to always seek the one up on everyone no matter what.  It’s a psychological disorder at the root in my humble opinion.  But we elected him regardless so whatever happens its really on us.  Maybe we will learn to actually pay more attention to what people we elect to important positions actually say and do and what consequences to expect accordingly.

Naaaah....too much work!   Attention spans ain't what they used to be.

Equal trade with everyone is a crazy idea.  Its like a business saying I will not buy the things I need to run my business that I can’t produce myself from any other business that does not buy the same amount from me.   Or the other business saying the same.  It’s completely bonkers and so is any "businessman"  who should know better but apparently does not.

There are right and wrong ways to do everything.   Doing things of this magnitude wrong has tremendous consequences which is why a smart person would not do it the way it is being done.
