TRUMP SPEECH TAKEAWAYS
All show, no facts on how he’ll fix things. He did talk about eggs. When he did, he kept the blame on former President Joe Biden’s administration while providing little detail on how he would bring down, for example, the cost of eggs.
“Joe Biden, especially, let the price of eggs get out of control," Trump said.
Egg prices are indeed at an all-time high, but largely because bird flu outbreaks have led to shortages by wiping out millions of hens.
“Secretary, do a good job on that,” Trump said, presumably to Brooke Rollins, the new secretary of agriculture.
Beyond that, Trump didn’t have much to propose in terms of bringing down costs other than what he said during the election campaign: increased energy production and cutting what he calls fraud and waste in the federal government, both of which may impact inflation indirectly over time.
Trump introduced Elon Musk as the spearhead of that effort to cheers in the room. Trump credited Musk with identifying "hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud," an assertion that far exceeds even what the administration has claimed so far.
He went on for an hour and forty minutes. He spent time on Social Security going through a litany of SS recipients who were hundreds’ of years old. This was a warning in advance. He will come after social security and Medicaid.
He was mean, ungracious, told lie after life, misconstrued facts and fed the country pure bullshit about tariffs.
The GOP kissed his ass, the Dems never stood up for anything. If he said, “like you’ve never seen before”, he said it at least fifty times. He wants to RUN everything. Let him and see how far he’ll get.
In the meantime, here it is: judge for yourself.
