This man he never bought groceries in his life. Remember that. He has never gown to the local Walmart or aldi or anywhere and actually shopped for food. He has no fucking idea what anyone is talking about.

What – you don’t need to show your grocery id to buy groceries?

It's because he's only ever seen groceries bought with a check so think like early 90s at latest. Probably actually with a nanny when he was a kid.

That's also why it's such an "old-fashioned word" - and wow look at him, how he knows words

I'm in the energy tech world, and lemme tell ya holy shit it is hard to get through a conversation these days without saying the word datacenter.

This gets a lot of attention in my world. Load growth from AI data centers causing upward rate pressure because utilities fund new grid capacity by wrapping the capex into the rate base.

We need a simple regulation that mandates that all data centers must power themselves with renewable energy.

It'll fix sooo many issues. Not the water thing but that's a region-specific problem. Not everywhere has water shortages and not all data center designs use shittons of water (even AI data centers).

If they're using wastewater, that's some shitty cooling.

I mean... It's nice to know the executives give a crap I guess?

I like that idea a lot

Plus with water, we can just say fuck you, you don't get to run the tap constantly for cooling, it's a total waste of clean drinking water. Build more solar panels and figure out a less insane way

We're going to have the best Affordability. I have some of the best Affordability experts on my side, which by the way the Democrats hate, because they're still mad that I won the election fair and square, which would actually be my THIRD term by the way, if they hadn't stolen it for Sleepy Joe Biden last time, and I hrrrhjhbbbbb. hhh

“I do say to [Foley], first of all, I love her, because she voted for me three times, and I think she’d vote for me again if I had that opportunity,” Trump said.

He completely dismisses her concerns, then says she would vote for him again if given the chance. He's probably right, and that's exactly the problem.

He doesn't have to do anything to keep his sycophants and qultists, so why would he put any effort into doing something differently?

His reply:

“I do say this. Beef we have to get down. I think of groceries. It’s an old-fashioned word, but it’s a beautiful word. Beef we have to get down, but we’ve got prices way down,” Trump said, further claiming that energy costs are also already down and “all-encompassing.”

My eyes figuratively popped when he started insulting the autocrat leading North Korea who just announced that he has nukes now, way back in 2017 I guess. Maybe a few more times after that, until a pattern emerged. The above quote is just par for the course, not even mildly interesting.

Can we have just one fucking person follow up some time and ask him why he thinks a word (in his case, fucking "groceries") is a "beautiful word"?

I just can't...

Or like…why is it old fashioned? People still shop for them and eat.

Most ultra wealthy people have really well stocked fridges even if their chef or nutritionist or whoever shops for them. They open their fridge and see groceries

Trump grabs McDonald's or goes to restaurants. I honestly think he doesn't understand the concept of groceries, it's so neat to him because he just learned where hamburgers come from

The last time I filled up my car was the first and only time that I’ve seen gas prices budge since last year. I’m not sure why they keep saying they’re down this year other than that. I don’t think you should be able to claim that it’s cheaper to drive now until they stay down for at least two months.

Because whatever they say, a large portion of the voter base just listens and believes and doesn’t think. Like at all. The lack of thinking, in any capacity by voters, has been a winning strategy for the party for a long time.

When the economy goes to shit, oil consumption drops and gas prices along with it.

It's not a perfect 1-to-1 thing but it's real
