Opinion - How Trump ruined Christmas

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump has weathered scandals, impeachments, investigations, electoral defeats, and enough lawsuits to make a mid-size law firm weep. But this winter, he’s facing something he can’t bluff or bark away: prices. Real prices. Grocery-store prices. The kind that glare at you from the receipt like a personal insult.

And Americans are tired of being insulted.

His approval rating has fallen to depths not seen since Nixon started sweating through his suits. Even Republicans are beginning to admit something is off. Strategists are panicking. Voters are grimacing. Nothing feels stable anymore, except the cost of groceries, which is now apparently welded to the price of rare minerals.

The moment the floor gave way came on Dec. 7, when Trump turned on “Fox & Friends,” his long-time emotional support animal, and found Peter Schiff calmly pointing out that Americans can’t afford much of anything right now. Schiff didn’t yell or blast the president. He simply stated the obvious: prices are rising, wages aren’t and Trump’s tariffs are making everything worse.

4. I'm ok. I have been stockpiling pencils

Anyone wants a third doll can put a dress on a pencil. Two for one. The economy is fixed.

5. You've been stockpiling pencils?????

Oh great - now we will have to weather the great pencil shortage of 2026. Congratulations - you will go down in history for being the reason that
school children couldn't do their homework. And putting a dress on a pencil is just ridiculous. What if it is a "Ken" pencil?

6. Well, mostly just stubs collected in my desk drawer.

The erasers are hard and useless. I am embarrassed to admit I was pretending to be the kind of person who could give a kid 32 pencils for Christmas.

7. Well, yeah, you did kind of give off an Elon Musk Billionaire vibe there.

Glad to hear that you are one of us - short stubs, broken points and hard erasers. But at least we are all on the 'Nice List".
