Opinion - How Trump ruined Christmas
President Trump has weathered scandals, impeachments, investigations, electoral defeats, and enough lawsuits to make a mid-size law firm weep. But this winter, hes facing something he cant bluff or bark away: prices. Real prices. Grocery-store prices. The kind that glare at you from the receipt like a personal insult.
And Americans are tired of being insulted.
His approval rating has fallen to depths not seen since Nixon started sweating through his suits. Even Republicans are beginning to admit something is off. Strategists are panicking. Voters are grimacing. Nothing feels stable anymore, except the cost of groceries, which is now apparently welded to the price of rare minerals.
The moment the floor gave way came on Dec. 7, when Trump turned on Fox & Friends, his long-time emotional support animal, and found Peter Schiff calmly pointing out that Americans cant afford much of anything right now. Schiff didnt yell or blast the president. He simply stated the obvious: prices are rising, wages arent and Trumps tariffs are making everything worse.

school children couldn't do their homework. And putting a dress on a pencil is just ridiculous. What if it is a "Ken" pencil?
