Moments into his second term, opening his inaugural address, Donald Trump was unequivocal. “The golden age of America begins right now,” he declared.
At a White House reception last weekend, a little over 10 months later, the US president appeared to acknowledge just how far his timeline had shifted.
“We’re going to have … I say it’s the golden age of America,” Trump told his audience. “We have an age that’s coming up, the likes of which … this country has never seen. And I just look so forward to the results. You’re going to see results in six months to a year.”
The US economy has come under pressure in 2025. A golden age did not promptly take hold, as Trump initially claimed, upon his return to office in January.
On two areas the president pledged to rapidly improve – jobs and prices – the results have so far been lackluster.
Trump’s brainwashed supporters seem unable to understand that he’s not the second coming of Christ (read your Revelation; we actually have a problem there) but rather the reincarnation of P.T. Barnum.
Billionaires are doing great. The rest of us don’t matter.
Same place he puts promises to pay his contactors.
And anyone dumb enough to continue to follow someone with such a history of broken promises.
Up his arse
A simple mistake: he meant to say “gilded age”.
Fuck … does this mean we’re going to get more spray-painted Love Boat plaques?
Back up his arse where he pulled it from
