Trump declares himself King, sort of

Where on this chart was Dickhead sworn in? Jan 20 looks to be just about coming up on the $80 mark.
We knew he wasn't going to cut prices. The world doesn't work that way. The exact same ridiculous criticism would be coming from The Daily Mail had Harris been elected. We shouldn't be focusing on the things we actually get he can't manage... minus this plan to manage bird flu without culling flocks.
 
The quote apparently is fake, and shouldn't be spread about. Oddly enough, it was not fake enough to even make me think twice about it. I generally double check the more outlandish stuff (and usually disappointed to find out it was true).

The general message in the quote, is an accurate paraphrase. Has Trump even done his drilling promise? His layoffs in Interior will make permitting take longer.

Lowering prices was never going to happen. Cutting back on the inflation a bit more manageable.

I would agree with that. The thing that kind of bothers me is that the #1 complaint I hear about Trump is how he spreads lies and misinformation (which he does), and yet people here are doing that very thing. Physician, heal thyself and all that.

Seriously?

The quote and image capture wasn't remotely exotic enough to even seem remotely unrealistic. Trump has called Zelensky a "Dictator", parroting shit barbos is saying, who is going to double check an alleged statement on Day One cuts to egg prices, when he had clearly made statements saying he was dropping prices on Day One.

We as a nation will get nothing done if we have to fact every thing that Trump has allegedly said.
 
and yet people here are doing that very thing
And this is because of "Self fact checking". The right was outraged when posts or memes were fact checked by staff as being "censorship". But human nature is that when you see something that you agree with - you don't need to fact check it because that's what you were already thinking so it must be true. And it works both ways, but now, "free speech" on the internet contributes to us being the LEAST informed society in history.

If inflation goes to 15%, the “main complaint” will remain the same, and the inflation will be Biden’s fault.
 
and the inflation will be Biden’s fault.
Of course it will. He's already blamed prices going up on Biden...and it's hard to bring down what the other guy made go up. YEt his supporters will watch prices rise even more and STILL accept that it's the fault of an 82 year old man who is now a private citizen. And they will believe Trump. Was this fake news?

Please be specific. What quote is fake? What is your source for asserting this?
Snopes
With Trump EVERYTHING is fake.
It is impossible to separate mis-attributions from the actual lies he spews.
We should do our best to ensure the information we are working from is accurate. In this case, it was a fowl but it was hardly noticeable based on what he is documented in saying that I didn't give a cluck about double checking it.
 
To belabor the point, I went on Snopes and asked Did Trump call himself a king?, which I assume is what you are referencing, since it is the OP title. I found NOTHING. I also find nothing on google that claims the White House is disavowing it. It came from T's own site.

This has to do with another quote, not his legitimate King shit.
 
Perplexity says

“Yes, Donald Trump did say, “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!”
This statement was made on his social media platform, Truth Social, following the announcement that his administration would revoke federal approval for New York City’s congestion pricing program. The decision to halt the program has sparked significant controversy and legal challenges from New York officials”
 
To belabor the point, I went on Snopes and asked Did Trump call himself a king?,
He put a picture of him in a crown on his facebook page for the white house.

 
Oh, sweet Jesus. The fake quote is the one about bringing down grocery prices????? Why be cryptic?
So, Snopes says, "The image showed a fake post that never appeared on Trump's Truth Social page. Even so, he genuinely and repeatedly made similar promises during his campaign."

So, here is my research, which took all of four minutes.
Here is the apparently bogus Trump quote: "EGGS AND GAS PRICES...OUT OF CONTROL!!!...On DAY ONE, I'll slash prices."
Here is the "man" himself, back in August, at a media scrum, surrounded by groceries: "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One."
Such a shocking, unfair, bogus fake, which says everything Trump said into the microphone. Let's forward this to the Department of Counting Angels on the Head of a Pin.
 
I'd say Trump is king alright. King of trolling Democrats.

Thank you for proving my point
IT's on the White House Facebook page. Anybody "supporting" this will say he is 'just trolling libs' I happen to think this is the most honest he has been in the past 50 years at least.

Gotta love a jokester as the commander in chief.
