In large part because the president cannot logically talk about his economy.

who just had his SNAP benefits cut off by his 'big ugly bill' !


Sincerely! I think we need the 'big ugly' himself ALIVE
through the 2026 and 2028 elections,
to continue to alienate the majority of American voters
with his big ugly stupid pedophile demented MOUTH!


(I recall overhearing a conversation once between two of my nephews
who had apparently voted for him in 2016---

one said to the other,
'but don't you sometimes wish that he would just SHUT THE HELL UP?!' )
