Glady, Mason. It's so simple even you should be able to understand it, Mason.




There is no way you can prove you have the ability to predict the future.

No one has scientifically proven the ability to predict the future in a way that withstands rigorous, repeatable scientific testing. Predictions in controlled environments (like in science) are based on probabilities rather than certainties, and claims of psychic prediction remain unverified by the broader scientific community.

Most Americans doubt Trump will be able to bring down costs of food, housing, health care

Many U.S. adults in a new survey are skeptical about President-elect Donald Trump's ability to bring down costs.

Worries about everyday expenses helped return President-elect Donald Trump to the White House. But with his second term quickly approaching, many U.S. adults are skeptical about his ability to bring down costs.

Only about 2 in 10 Americans are "extremely" or "very" confident that Trump will be able to make progress on lowering the cost of groceries, housing or health care this year, according to a survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, while about 2 in 10 are "moderately" confident.

Trump, who was named 2024 Person of the Year by Time Magazine, acknowledged in an interview with the publication that bringing down food costs will be a difficult challenge.

"I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard. But I think that they will," he said.

Faith in Trump's ability to create jobs is a little higher — about 3 in 10 are extremely or very confident the Republican will make progress on this in 2025 — but the poll indicates that despite his sweeping promises about lowering prices, a substantial chunk of his own supporters don't have high confidence in his ability to quickly alleviate the economic pressures that continue to frustrate many households.

Those tempered expectations haven't dampened Republicans' hopes for Trump's second presidential term, though. And Democrats' pessimism about his return to office is more muted than it was when he exited the White House in 2020. About 8 in 10 Republicans say Trump will be a "great" or "good" president in his second term, according to the poll.

How is he going to lower costs of the things we buy when he is going to add a 20% or more tariff on everything we import.
That includes oil and that means the cost of fuel and gas is going up and that cost will be passed on to consumers so the price of EVERYTHING you buy will be going up.
it is a fact if you buy it it was on a truck sometime, so the fuel costs will be tacked on to the cost of what we buy.
