He has a positive approval rating currently, despite what censorship loving Bluesky communists have to say. 
 

Clearly the American public is willing to wait and see. 
 

And fwiw, relative to grocery store prices, it wasn’t all about the prices.. some of it was the constant gaslighting from the administration, as if Americans just don’t understand how good they have it .. same gaslighting we saw all four years and continue to see with the “we don’t know what they are, but they’re safe and no threat” drones.

Can you provide an example of an “explicit promise” to raise prices?

Tariffs and deporting large swaths of laborers. 

He actually talked about it quite a bit. Odd that you missed it.

That’s what you consider an “explicit promise to raise prices”? Seems you don’t understand how to use “explicit” properly. It’s ok. It makes your point seem more dramatic. 
 

Has your LGBT friend left the country for Canada yet?

I appreciate you proving my point that many MAGA voters are ignorant of basic economics.

At a time that healthcare is in the media, the side that believed adding multiple levels of beauracracy to insurance and believed it would lower cost long term discussing basic economics is hilarious.

I am good at economics, not so much understanding Dems who seem to believe government fixes problems without causing many more along the way.

Something that has become apparent over the past 4-5 years is that liberals best defense is they are ignorant/stupid of the damage they cause to our country by implementing their policies. The only other belief is they are evil enough to believe that they are the person to decide what is best for all and should be the dictators and tyrants to all.

He explicitly promised!!
 

You should study up on explicit v implicit and how to use them.

Trump: I’m going to enact policies that will raise prices

 

Economists: This is going to raise prices

 

MAGA: BuT wAs He ExPlIcIt?

 

Jesus, you people are jokes.

You seem to have a need to overstate things for what you hope is some sort of effect. “Explicit promise” can be your new “human trafficking”. They are equally embarrassing.

As embarrassing as thinking that a promise to place tariffs on imported goods and reduce the labor force is not a promise to raise prices?
 

You seem to have a need to brag about your ignorance.

I am stating obvious facts that make you uncomfortable. Your side shut down the lives of children's for 2 years with no benefit for the kids. Your side advocates for mentally ill boys to beat up girls in sports. Your side spends billions on illegal aliens and then does nothing for Americans in Hawaii or NC when they need it. Is there a topic you actually believe your side is the good guys on?

FIFY.  They just take the tack that if Trump is for/against it, they're automatically against/for it.

I would step back from the “your side does X” thing if you’re supporting Trump or the GOP, lest you be painted with the worst of your side even if you don’t personally agree with it. 
 

You talk like a kid who spends too much time online and just sorts everything as black and white, painting with the widest brush you can find. 
 

You’re not stating “facts” so much as things that feel good to you.

The far left is like a cult. You will not budge them, because in their heads, they really do believe that they are right. They can sound informed and on point as long as they stay on their state sponsored script, and/or cite their cut and pasted memorized propaganda from the top of a scrubbed Google search, but the second that you make them think outside the box or read facts that do not align with that, they panic and either end the conversation, deflect, or most often, resort to personal attacks.

I will disagree with Trump when appropriate, as I said where do you look at the Dems over the past 4 years and see yourself the good guy?
