Trump and MAGA are so weird

Some context for Trump's pathetic bacon rant:
  • Bacon is a commodity item. It rises and falls based on supply and demand. 'Free market' and all that.
  • Bqcon has spiked in price three times in the past twelve years, once during the Obama administration, once during the Trump administration and once during the Biden administration.
  • Trump began railing about bacon prices in his stump grievances speech when the price spiked in late 2022.
  • I like to eat bacon and eggs, and I remember this period when bacon jumped from about $5.20 a pound to $7.50 a pound seemingly overnight.
  • You know what I did personally? I stopped buying bacon temporarily.
  • Prices eventually fell back to historical norms and I began buying bacon again.
  • Meanwhile, Trump continues to rail against bacon prices as if they are still astronomically high (historically speaking).
  • Somehow he has managed (in his head) to equate bacon prices with windmill power production.
  • I seriously doubt Trump knows what the current price of bacon is, he, like Rightguide, simply wants to complain.
  • Bacon is currently about $6.25 per pound. I picked some up two days ago for $5 per pound.

It's sad when people get suckered into a cult and find that they are supporting conduct that they initially set out specifically trying to oppose.
It is bizarre that so many Christian conservatives think a man as sinful as Trump was sent to them by God. If "Bible believing Christians" actually read the Bible, they would have encountered the following verse:

Matthew 7:21 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
