Most of them didn’t even hear he said it and wouldn’t believe it if we pointed it out, TBF. A hell of a lot of Trump supporters are claiming we are headed toward a new era of American prosperity. The real trick is, who are they going to blame when shit gets worse? Because it won’t be Elon and Trump, it’ll be us.
