He has swung wildly from claiming credit for ending the the crisis, to insisting that it is a Democratic hoax that never existed in the first place. Most recently, Trump announced a campaign slogan that will surely resonate with the nation&#8217;s struggling families&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70267\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: \u2018If The Communists Get In You\u2019ll Never Fish Again\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to reinforce the Trump regime&#8217;s position that affordability isn&#8217;t really a problem, Trump dispatched his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to her regular post on Fox News for a friendly interview with Jesse Watters. The segment delivered some of the most callously oblivious commentaries on the subject imaginable.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Watters:<\/strong> Some of these kids, and I call them kids because they\u2019re in their 20s and they\u2019ve never had real jobs and they\u2019re complaining things are expensive in the U.S. Yes, things are expensive when you don\u2019t have a real job. Do you think that\u2019s getting traction? Complaining?<br \/>\n<strong>Leavitt:<\/strong> Unfortunately, I do because this generation, my generation, I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them. That\u2019s not the values this country was built on. [&#8230;]<br \/>\n<strong>Watters:<\/strong> Is it laziness?<br \/>\n<strong>Leavitt:<\/strong> A little bit.<br \/>\n<strong>Watters:<\/strong> Because the professor said the country&#8217;s corrupt. It&#8217;s evil. And we just need to shake them down and hand money out.<br \/>\n<strong>Leavitt:<\/strong> It\u2019s laziness and it\u2019s liberal indoctrination. You bring up a great point about our education system. [&#8230;]<br \/>\n<strong>Watters:<\/strong> I say if they misbehave just make all these young kids join the army.<br \/>\n<strong>Leavitt:<\/strong> Send them to Cuba. Send them to Iran.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is great messaging from Trump&#39;s Propaganda Secretary Karoline Leavitt &amp; Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#39;re struggling with how expensive things are, you&#39;re just a young, lazy, commie, who should be forced to join the army &amp; be sent to Iran.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of older, working people will disagree. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KuXIbHXzDP\">https:\/\/t.co\/KuXIbHXzDP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2072963983859228925?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 3, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>So to start off, Watters asserts that the only reason things are perceived as expensive by young people is that they don&#8217;t have <em>&#8220;real&#8221;<\/em> jobs. And Leavitt agrees, accusing them of having been born into privilege and never knowing the meaning of work. Elaborating, they both malign them as <em>&#8220;lazy.&#8221;<\/em> They also both neglect to recognize that it isn&#8217;t just young people who are plagued by the economic burdens of the Trump agenda. Americans of all ages are well aware of Trump&#8217;s disastrous effect on the U.S. economy.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt and Watters are delivering a great message from the MAGA team in an election year during which they are already projected to suffer significant losses. They are telling a critical voting bloc that if you&#8217;re troubled with how expensive things are, it&#8217;s just because you&#8217;re a lazy communist who has been indoctrinated by evil college professors. Even worse, Leavitt and Watters propose that these spoiled, youthful, complaining, ingrates be forced to join the army and be sent to Cuba or Iran. That&#8217;ll teach &#8217;em.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt went on to promote homeschooling and Christian schools for parents who <em>&#8220;don\u2019t want their children being taught these communist and liberal ideas slammed down their throat.&#8221;<\/em> She prefers the fascist and conservative ideas embraced by Trump and his MAGA confederates. Which is an angle that Democrats will be happy to see Republicans adopting as November approaches. As is often the case, what Republicans are doing to advance their agenda will be truly fantastic &#8211; for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70252\" target=\"_blank\">BE AFRAID!
