“Republicans … have failed to actually deliver on making life more affordable for the American people,” Jeffries said to Dana Bash, the State of the Union host. “It was Donald Trump who promised to lower costs on day one. But we know that costs haven’t gone down in this country. Costs have gone up.
“It was Donald Trump … who said that he was elected not to start wars, endless wars in the Middle East, but to stop them – and then turned around and has gotten us involved in this reckless war of choice in Iran that has skyrocketed gas prices on the American people.”
People keep insisting that, but I don’t think the facts bear that out.
Donald is more unpopular than Jimmy Carter right now, which puts him among the most despised presidents in the nation’s history. His candidates have lost nearly every race in 2025 and 2026, not counting primaries. And those election wins have come in districts he won by double digits in 2024, regardless of whether it’s a red or blue state.
I don’t think fear and hate are enough this time. That’ll happen when you’re living out of your car and can’t buy enough to eat at a grocery store.
