This is what happens when every even slightly RW Streamer, YouTuber, Podcaster etc. constantly and deliberaly ignored the miriad retarded moves Trump made and started throwing a party the few times he did a singular beneficial thing for American citizens of which most, after a few months, turned out to have been nothingburgers or barely qualified as "doing something" but by that time the superberries have already been made and nobody ever critically looks back (bad for business).
It created a massively skewed version of reality, especially online, one where Trump is portrayed as getting win after win and maybe a little tiny snafu from time to time.
Jubilant cries of: "Dis is wut I vooted for!" or "Dats mai presidunt!" rang out from these charlatans, desperate to keep their (partial) MAGA audience and American hopefuls happy and the cash coming in.
It's going to be amusing to see how these in-it-for-the-money Trump stans will spin having been both rug pulled during his second term and raped by the GOP as a whole.
TL;DR: Cynical pundits are cynical.
"Oh, if only Iran hadn't affected energy prices"
What universe is there where war with Iran wouldn't have affected energy prices? Do these fucking people know anything? They're even ready to burn Vance to protect the orange retard.
