Is America Great Yet?

 I speak to American journalists a few times a week and i always start with 'Is America Great yet?' to which i get a varying degrees of answers but usually, nah, not yet but i did ask about the $2,000 which each American is going to get as a Tariff Bonus.
To me it sounds like making them pay higher prices for the essential (his claim that other nations would pay was always nonsense) and then giving them something to make up for him making them pay higher prices for the essential things but $2,000 would be gratefully received i guess a because as the Tangerine Tyrant said 'The tariffs are bringing in so much money, a dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone' so get the good China out and toast the Mango Moron.
A fly in the ointment could be that analysis by the Budget Lab at Yale University, reckons that Trump’s tariffs will see the American public pay an additional $200 billion to $300 billion a year and a $2,000 dividend, if it went to all Americans, including children would cost $600 billion which is why the treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, said that it might not mean that Americans would get a cheque from the government but instead would probably take the form of tax cuts for some.
So what did the Fushia Facist promise would be cheaper for Americans?
He promised that: 'I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One' and specifically mentioned groceries which official data shows rose by 2.7% since he made the promise with the sharpest increases on Coffee (18.9%), Ground beef (12.9%) and Bananas (6.9%) so not so great then.
The price of eggs have gone down though, a dozen large eggs was $4.93 then and are now $3.49 a dozen so omelettes all round but you may want to hold fire if you have an electric cooker because he may have said: 'Under my administration we will be slashing energy and electricity prices by half within 12 months' but unless my maths is very wrong, going from 15.94 cents per kWh in January to 17.62 cents per kWh today isn't halving them.
Cheaper cars and petrol under $2 a gallon was another thing he promised supporters to get prices down on however, the average price of a new car went up from $48,283 to just above $50,000 today and petrol remains stubbornly $1.079 above the $2 figure so you may want to walk to the shops to get those eggs.
So making America great again can be added to ending the Ukraine War on Day one and how he never signed a birthday card for Jeffrey Epstein to the list of things inane and things the Orange Ogre has farted out.
