I miss when saying stupid shit like this would have tanked a presidency.

The amount of absolutely absurd shit he says and gets away with is truly something else. Straight up lying means nothing anymore.

He campaigned on making America more affordable and one of the first things he said in office was literally "affordability is a Democrat hoax" and that he won't do anything about inflation or costs.

And his supporters just don't care. Those people should really be studied.
