Trump: Nobody Eats Bacon Anymore Thanks To Biden

The Guardian reports:

It was a standard Trump stump speech, full of evidence-free claims that his 2020 election defeat was fraudulent; baseless accusations that overseas nations were sending to the US “most of their prisoners”; and a laughable assertion that a gathering of supporters numbering in the hundreds was really a crowd of 45,000.

It also touched on the surreal. Biden, he insisted, had raised the price of bacon four-fold. “We don’t eat bacon any more,” Trump said. Electric cars, he said, “cheated” the US public because drivers had to stop for three hours to recharge their vehicles after every 45 minutes of driving.

Perhaps worn down by the energy-sapping humidity, the crowd appeared mostly subdued, including yawns in the bleachers behind him as Trump drew to a close with slow music playing, and others tapping disinterestedly on their phones.

Raw Story reports:

Bacon prices in the last full year of Trump’s presidency averaged $5.58 per pound, peaked at $7.31 per pound in 2022, and at the last monthly statistics stood at $6.82 per pound. Moreover, wages have been rising faster than prices for over a year, so on a purchasing power basis, bacon is at more or less the same price it was for most of the Trump presidency.

As they always do, the cult is pumping out tight shots from the edges of the crowd to give credence to Trump’s claim of 45,000 attendees.
