Simple. Prices will go up, Trump will hold a press conference announcing prices are lower, and 50% of the country will believe prices are lower instead of the lying mainstream media.

Some 1984 shit. Newspeak

You mean the lies of their eyes. I believe Orwell had something to say on the subject.

More likely he’ll use tax money to subsidize red state groceries so their eyes won’t lie to them as much.

"The Demonrats voted for Nazi Kamala so they don't deserve food! We're taking federal tax income from NY communist state and Calicommufornia and subsiding Fantastic Florida Patriots food! Oh, and they're the party of hate not us! Fuck Democrats, hope they all die! Merry Christmas to all!"

9/10 because they refer to California as Commiefornia

The mainstream media will report that Trump said prices are lower, and not actually point out that he is a lying liar.

You forgot the part where he blames the democrats

This the the answer. The two major tenets of his platform are "raise tarrifs" (inflationary!) and "deport immigrants" (raising costs on production). Shit is going to get more expensive, but it won't matter if facts continue not to matter and you have a boogieman to shake your stick at.

I remember when his tax "cut" first was experienced, there were a bunch of tiktoks on the fact that their taxes went up. A lot of "I didn't vote for this!" Videos.

But they soon forgot.

His fans are like cats. Easily distracted, so long as someone else is getting hurt worse.

Hey, no need to disparage cats...
