Chapter 1: What is the focus of Trump's recent failures?
This is what they want to distract you with, stuff like this. This is from the official White House account. Roses are red, violets are blue. Come here illegally and we'll deport you. And it's Donald Trump and Tom Homan, the border czar. But let's talk about what's really going down, the ultimate instant betrayal by Donald Trump of all of his
promises, at least that were pushed by the media, that instantly prices were going to drop. Egg prices soar. This is from Fox, up 267%. Just go try to go around and try to find eggs, number one, and then try to find eggs that are in any way affordable or any grocery prices. Grocery prices are up. Gas prices are up. I think there's only a handful of states now that have below $3 gas.
With former President Biden, it was almost a majority of states having below $3 gas. States, red states are getting hit hard. Red states like Alabama are finding out that some of the aid that was being provided by the federal government as well as being cut off, some subsidies being cut off. So people are just having $100 here, $50 there, $100 there added to their bills.
This is from the Huntsville, Alabama utilities company telling people that the Community Action Agency and Limestone Communities has notified us that a grant that you receive for $100 is being pulled back by the Trump administration. And this stuff goes a long way to help people. I know the billionaires don't think $100 here or there is helpful for we the people, but it absolutely is.
Let me share this with you so you have the full picture. kind of perspective of it. I want to get into some of the issues with the prices surging inflation, but let me just show this clip. So this is Donald Trump saying on the campaign, so we can be, I want to show you the receipts.
So we're 100% conclusive that Donald Trump said that immediately day one prices would get lower, just so you can see for yourself. Here, play the clip.
Mr. President, because of these tariffs, who do you think voters should hold responsible?
Oh, I think what's going to go up is jobs are going to go up and prices could go up somewhat short term, but prices will also go down. And I think the farmers are going to be helped by this very much.
Then last week in the Oval Office, Donald Trump said the prices may go higher, they may go lower. I don't know. Here, play this clip.

Chapter 2: How are rising prices affecting Americans?
Retail sales fell more than expected in January. Households are bracing for another bump in inflation. Americans expect inflation to worsen in the coming year. Expected changes in prices during the next year. I mean, just look. Take a look at this chart right here. Like, look at that, okay? That is a massive jump that...
People were told through these media narratives that inflation was going to get lower and now it's spiked. Now people believe it's spiking. It's because of all of the chaos that's being caused. But what's the Trump spin on this? So you know what they're saying. This is what they're going with.
We're in a cleanup phase with the last administration's economic policies, said Kush Desai, a spokesman for the White House. Some of the things we'd like to do are really quick, like deregulation and energy policy. But as far as cutting government spending to reduce aggregate demand, That takes a bit more time to kick in. Again, you saw the clip I shared with you at the beginning of this video.
Trump said it would happen immediately. But you want to talk about energy policy? We were energy independent under former President Biden. There was more drilling than at any time in history. And we were exporting more gas and oil than ever before. It was actually a boom of what was taking place there.
Then you want to talk about as far as cutting government spending to reduce the aggregate demand. I looked at the Republican budget. I mean, you are looking to have a $5 trillion tax cut for the billionaires. you're going to propel us into a recession or a depression, and you're not in a cleanup phase.
Biden was in the cleanup phase when you handed over the economy in a COVID chaotic world, and Biden turned it around. You added $8 trillion of debt, and by adding $8 trillion of debt, that's what caused inflation as well as the destruction of supply lines in Trump's mishandling of the PPP program, which went to lots of rich people as opposed to regular folk as well.
And Donald Trump just destroyed the economy. Here's what it says. It goes on to say that the latest snapshot of prices released this past week showed an unexpected rise in inflation last month. And it goes notably, grocery prices also picked up steam, growing at their fastest rate in more than two years. Grocery prices, not just eggs.
Grocery prices in general, high food costs were a key part of the Trump's campaign as he traveled the country promising to slash prices on bacon, eggs, and apples. Like a total betrayal right there. Then it says after a burst of post-election optimism, consumers are back to feeling crummy about the economy.
It was manipulated optimism because outlets like you, Washington Post and New York Times and whatever were saying, this is great. This is amazing. Things are going to be great. And I'm like, no, they're not. His policies are destructive. They're inflationary. They're recessionary or depressionary. That's what they are. And here's the thing, folks. Some of the economic data lags.
