G49lCwNWMAA48je1 — original text - "'TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,' according to Pollsters."

One of Trump’s former lawyers will likely not fulfill a promise he made last Summer, and Trump is not taking the losses well, but will recover by needless antagonism with Mamdani in the coming year as well as attempting to mess with NYC. As usual Trump has no accountability because someone else is always to blame resulting in the usual TACO reasons.

The X post satirically edits Donald Trump's Truth Social message blaming Republican losses in the November 4, 2025, off-year elections—where Democrats won governorships in New Jersey and Virginia, plus New York City mayor—on his absence from the ballot and a government shutdown.

Black strikeouts remove Trump's excuses from the screenshot, leaving a grammatically awkward admission that a "shutdown were the reason" for the defeats, amplifying mockery of his deflection.

From a Canadian anti-Trump account, the post reflects cross-border schadenfreude over U.S. Democratic gains, earning 2.9K likes and 22K views in hours amid similar online ridicule.

GROK

"Donald Trump freaked out on 60 Minutes when he was reminded that the stock market doesn’t benefit everyone but everyone goes to the grocery store."

While Trump spent the weekend golfing on the taxpayer's dime, millions are starting the week unsure how they'll buy groceries without SNAP benefits.
Unconscionable.

A majority of Americans say they are spending more on groceries and utilities than they were a year ago, and they blame President Trump for the rising prices, a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finds.

Trump campaigned heavily on lowering the price of groceries. How’s that going? This is grocery price data collected from real checkout prices nationwide, and the data shows prices are up from a year ago. www.nbcnews.com/data-graphic... (data by marketing research firm NIQ) #DemsAbroad #trumpeconomy
