10. Seriously?

The fact that these farmers are still taking anything Trump does or says seriously, as if he is a serious actor who just needs time to make everything work out, continues to amaze me. They're either seriously deluded or they just can't bring themselves to admit they've been scammed. They should have baled on him after his first term, but now they're literally reaping what they have sown.

Someone else mentioned the scarcity of lettuce. I'm finding the same thing in the Indianapolis area ... even after the price jumped 10-20 percent. Using Trump Math, a 20 percent increase in something that is no longer available must mean that inflation is down 1,500 percent. True genius. /s
