Pointing out hypocrisy makes me upset?

WHO said that?

Also, show us the economy under Biden and compare it with Trump's. Grocery and gas prices are going down.

Better yet... compare Trump's FIRST administration to Biden's, before, of course, the Chinese decided to let loose their weapon 
of mass infection on the WORLD, and then the Democrats, ever the power lusting shits, decided to lock everything down 
UNNECESSARILY, ruining the economy. The Democrats ruined Trump's great economy, JUST so they could get back in power, and look 
what they did.

Nearly double-digit inflation.  

Gas prices nearly doubling.

Grocery prices rising so high, people had to decide between eating and being able to drive to work.



Printing money:

Inflation:

Inflation rose significantly during Biden's presidency. Critics argued that substantial government spending contributed to this, 
leading to increased prices for essential goods and services. 

The argument was that the increased spending created an environment where demand outstripped supply, driving prices upward. Many 
individuals expressed that their wages did not keep pace with the rate of inflation, which hurt their purchasing power. 

Gas Prices:

Gas prices rose considerably during Biden's term.

Critics attributed this to factors including the administration's energy policies, which they claimed restricted domestic oil 
production.

National Debt:

The national debt continued to grow during his presidency, and critics expressed concern about the long-term economic 
consequences of this. Critics said that the large spending bills passed during the Biden administration greatly increased the 
national debt. 

Impact on Real Wages:

Concerns existed about whether wages kept pace with inflation. Many people felt that even with wage increases, their actual 
purchasing power decreased. For a period, inflation outpaced wage growth, meaning people could afford less even if they were 
earning more in nominal terms. While more recently wage growth has outpaced inflation, the cumulative effect of the earlier 
period was still felt by many.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
