The word "Affordability"
Trump declares himself as the "Affordability President"

Just a few days later...

Trump declares "Affordability is a con job by the Democrats", a "Democrat scam" and "Fake Narrative"

"They have this new word called Affordability"

Just a few days later...

The Trump Admin declares "Trump is working on Affordability!"

Will Trump's 50 year mortgage loans be part of the Affordability con job scam, in which, for example, a $1 million dollar loan would have $1.73 million dollars worth of interest over that 50 years time.

Will Trumpflation be part of it?

Will the Trump mass taxes upon American companies handed down to US End Consumers (aka Trump Tariffs) also be part of it too?

Egg prices?

Trump appears to want to claim this con job scam hoax for himself? Trump quote: "The word Affordability should be our word, not theirs!"

What's your defination of this new strange word called Affordability and how is it a con job?

I remember you can walk into a gas station with confidence with a 20 dollar bill. Now you can’t even get much of anything.

Did the "Affordable Care Act" make healthcare affordable? No? Well, seems Trump is right then, it's just a word the DNC uses to make stupid people support something. Has "affordable housing" policies made housing affordable? No? Gee, looks like the DNC did it again. What's next? Making education more affordable by tripling tuition costs?

The "Home Alone" movie (1990s) had that. Kevin McCallister spent $19.83 USD on his groceries (with a $1 dollar off coupon).

- Half gallon of milk
- Half gallon of orange juice
- Loaf of Wonder Bread
- Frozen mac and cheese
- TV dinner
- Tide liquid detergent
- Saran wrap
- Snuggle dryer sheets
- Toilet paper
- Bag of toy soldiers

In 2025, buying the same items would now cost you $72 USD. That's a 250% price increase over those years!

I don't think Trump himself knows the definition of the word, but since he considers it a scam and he's the king of scams... Trump quote: "The word Affordability should be our word, not theirs!"

And what do you know of affordability in the United States? Do you pay bills in the US? Groceries? Rent? Tell us what experience you actually have on this subject to determine who is right or wrong.

Affordable housing is just another name for public housing projects, let the criminals prowl.

Pretty sure that is quite clear to the non-USA citizen to evaluate how Pro-Affordability all Pro-Trumps plus Trump and all their party truly are.

In the previous 4 years we had already saw how Pro-Affordability they are, but for those that tend to suffer from amnesia, 2025 has been also quite transparent on that criteria of evaluation of the Trump movement.

Also just cause some might not live in the USA, doesn't they don't know the cost of living in the USA, for some that's the reason they left and others the reason why they never moved there.

I just price checked all those items at my local grocery store and the total price is $40. Inflation alone makes $19.83 in 1991 worth $47.29 in today's money. Stop trolling and find a new hobby.

Nah. I think if you're not from here, you probably do not have a good idea of what it's actually like to live here. At best you can rely upon outside information, or news media which are often propagandized.
If you want to talk about affordability crisis, then go look at Canada.

I swear Trump has dementia just like Biden. He says something. Then a few days later he does a 180 on his statement. While also acting confused asking "Did I say that? I didn't."

Gas prices in California are intentionally high. We pay almost 2 dollars in taxes per gallon.

We have gas resources and refineries but we are controlled by science denying Democrats who would rather hurt it's people then do the economically smart thing...start harvesting and refining more oil, drop the gas prices, provide more jobs and boost the Californian economy which would help the whole US.

But California would rather keep prices high and blame Trump.

That's your perception of it that's fair.

Though it wasn't that long ago T was asking eggs from EU, neither was that long ago that T tariffs kicking in and bumping up the car prices in USA soil.

ICE intervention is being followed almost by the minute, you just need to look into a USA media outlet and they will be speaking about it for an hour.

If we want a more localized information it's just a matter of looking into the region and ,at least in the area i live in, shouldn't be hard to get the testimony from an USA citizen of that particular region. The question would be more how recently did they left that particular area.

Cost of living is usually quite easy to get that information even an insightful perspective into taxation of the area, it's just a matter of asking the correct people or knowing where to obtain that information in the official mediums.

There is a reason why embassies exist, this is why normally few in the world are against legal migration.

I wonder how much of the inflation is caused by raising the minimum wage, bet it has something to do when it comes to prices.

You mean you read some ♥♥♥♥ online, believed it as fact, and didn't actually check that with anything substantial. Got it. And this is why we don't take opinions from people outside the US seriously. Media all over was telling you people how outrageous "egg prices" were while people in here from the US was telling you that what we've been paying for them has been substantially lower than the claims.

Are you seriously going to take the word of someone from New Zealand (allegedly), or some media outlet trying to sell a clickbait headline over actual Americans who shop for groceries in the US? Media lies all the time. The more outrageous their content, the more clicks and views they get, the more revenue they generate. Pay attention to the people actually buying stuff.
