Dick Morris to Newsmax: Trump Put $10,000 in Voters' Pockets

Longtime political strategist Dick Morris told Newsmax on Friday
that President Donald Trump has raised real median household
incomes by nearly $10,000 and is easing rent pressure in New York
City through deportations.

Also on Friday, Trump visited the Nassau County Police Academy
on Long Island to unveil FBI data he says shows a drop in violent
crime.

Morris, an adviser to Trump and a former strategist for President
Bill Clinton, said on "Rob Schmitt Tonight" that the real
median household income has climbed from about $78,000 when
Trump first took office to roughly $88,000 today.

. . .

It *is* true.

While 'inflation' in various forms has taken, Trump
policies have also GIVEN.

Political problem - the 'giving' is kinda Behind The
Scenes, most people don't NOTICE it.

A five-figure check in the mail WOULD be noticed, but
these sorts of compensation are kinda invisible.

Those on SS and other Fed/State pensions have not seen
a good COL raise at all. Younger people can work their
way out of debts ... older people can't.

"Older people" VOTE.

Because of SOME weird quirk in human psychology, voters
tend to flip-flop parties. BOTH may be totally useless,
destructive, but they'll regularly jump between the
proverbial frying pan and fire, over and over and over,
expecting different results.

What was that old def of "insanity" ???

The UK has been THE worst at this - which is why it is
really now a 3rd world Islamist country even though
the govt HIDES it. The Moron Party or the Idiot Party,
back and forth and back and forth .....

And sorry, commies are even WORSE - a LOT worse.
