“Even though he’s entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts”
During a broadcast of Donald Trump’s speech at a “Get Out the Vote” rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday evening, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut into the footage to point out inaccuracies in what was being said by the former president and 2024 Republican frontrunner.
Taking issue with Trump claiming credit for the market going up while, in the same breath, blaming Biden for inflated gas prices and whatever else, Cavuto said, “We’ll continue monitoring the president’s remarks and I mean no offense to him or some of you who might want to continue to hear him, but I did have to say that even though the former president is entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts.”
It seems to be mostly one side of aisle that can’t grasp it. Always the same line of “gas was so much cheaper under trump…”
and I always reply with “well you should have seen the gas prices under clinton, you would be a massive fan!”.
It usually goes as well as you’d expect it to.
But if gas prices go down under a Dem, they’re killing jorbs and that’s bad. /j
Lower gas prices means less profit for their nepotistic buddies who own the fuel companies.
These are the folks who donate to their reelection PACs to keep them marketable to the population with ads.
These lost politicians don’t want to bite the hand that feeds because at the end of the day the population won’t support them based on ideals, they have to spew propaganda around and that shit is expensive.
I see ordinary people saying this. But where I live, a good chunk of jobs are connected to oil & gas, either directly or indirectly.
Well you can do the same thing the founders of the towns in your areas did when they formed those towns and move to where a fiscal living can be made based not on what the past looks like but what the proposed future looks like.
That industry is killing the planet and I’d be more than willing to sacrifice some corporate towns across the board to lessen the blow from our ecology collapsing completely.
“But Clinton was 30 years ago!”
“And it was low during the trumpet reign when there was a pandemic. So you do understand that different time periods affect prices.”
