And when he was woke enough to comment, he uttered profoundly incoherent ramblings that didn&#8217;t do much to discourage speculation about his mental regression.<\/p>\n<p>Among the topics that he fumbled pitifully was the issue of affordability and the difficulties that the American people are having to make ends meet in Trump&#8217;s recessionary economy. It&#8217;s a subject that made headlines throughout the recent elections in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, where Democrats trampled clueless and uncaring Republicans. And on this occasion Trump managed to take both sides of the affordability debate. He began&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There is this fake narrative that the Democrats talk about: Affordability. They just say the word. It doesn\u2019t mean anything to anybody. They just say it: Affordability. I inherited the worst inflation in history. There was no affordability. Nobody could afford anything.

While inflation did rise to about 9% during President Biden&#8217;s term, it receded to about 2.8% by the time his term was over. And since Trump took office it&#8217;s gone up a bit to 3%.<\/p>\n<p>More to the point, Trump&#8217;s assertions about affordability being a scam completely contradict his prior comments on the subject as recently as three days ago. That&#8217;s the limit of his exceedingly short attention span. And for much of the past few weeks he has actually been bragging about his prowess in taming inflation and labeling himself the <em>&#8220;Affordability President.&#8221;<\/em> For instance&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/34046\" target=\"_blank\">November 29, 2025<\/a>: &#8220;If this story is properly told, we should win the Midterm Elections in RECORD NUMBERS.

It is a complete CON JOB.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/33718\" target=\"_blank\">November 6, 2025<\/a>: &#8220;My cost are lower than the Democrats on everything, especially oil and gas! So the Democrats &#8216;affordability issue is DEAD! STOP LYING!!!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/33696\" target=\"_blank\">November 5, 2025<\/a>: &#8220;Our Economy is BOOMING, and Costs are coming way down. Affordability is our goal.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/33678\" target=\"_blank\">November 4, 2025<\/a>: &#8220;If affordability is you [sic] issue, VOTE REPUBLICAN!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Clearly Trump is confused about what affordability means and whether or not he is for or against it. Like <em>&#8220;groceries,&#8221;<\/em> Trump has said that <em>&#8220;affordability&#8221;<\/em> is word that wasn&#8217;t used before he resurrected it from the rhetorical dustbin. But what more can you expect from someone who claims that he&#8217;s lowered the cost of living by slashing drug prices by 200%, 500%, 1,200%? And no one on his staff will tell him that if you cut prices 100% the product is free. Any more than that and the manufacture is paying consumers to buy it.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the sorry state of mind that the current occupant of the White House has.
