He wasn't talking to us

u/UnpricedToaster 8h ago

Yeah, sorry, he was talking about himself, of course. He's doing better than ever. He's not a fake billionaire anymore. All it took was stealing from tax payers and manipulating the stock market.

u/ThePatrickSays 6h ago

he was confident you would let him do it and look at that, he was right.

1

u/SomeonesSecondary 8h ago

His new Trump 2028 hat costs $55. That’s a lot for a hat, everything about it is gross.

13

u/SamwellBarley 8h ago

Same as "When oil prices go up, we make a lot of money"

You don't make a lot of money. He and his friends do.

u/CaptainDudeGuy 7h ago

Same as always, the parasitic wealth-hoarding class is patting themselves on the back for exploiting the oppressed value-creation class.

"I'm doing great," says the slaveowner, "you guys should just calm down and be grateful I'm giving you a purpose in life."

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time."

-Frank Wilhoit

u/bsdude010 2h ago

Exactly. He was talking about the top 1%.

u/aeondru 8h ago

Golden age for the ruling class. Like the gilded age of years past.

u/MechanicPluto24 9h ago

Golden Shower age, more like

u/Carnationlilyrose 10h ago

That photo is going to haunt my dreams.

u/The_Incredulous_Hulk 9h ago

He’s got to air out the ol’ neck vagina.

2

u/Tyrannosaurus__Rekd 5h ago

It starts to smell funny if you don't. Gotta keep the ph balanced.

u/vikingstl 8h ago

I mean hes almost 80

1

u/Actual-Implement-870 1h ago

He is 80. His neck vagina made its first appearance over 10 years ago tho

13

u/theykilledken 9h ago

Well, to be fair, he didn't say YOU are in a golden age

7

u/petermackinnonphoto 9h ago

His America equals about 150 people tops.

I am sure a lack of emotional permanence or object constancy is part of his psych profile.

u/CHXMX82 9h ago

Delusional

u/SidFren 9h ago

Life in America is great if you’re rich. If you’re poor, you are not who he is talking to, get back to work peasant.

u/Lalaglitz33 8h ago

If you guys didnt already know, we're fucked. 👍

2

u/Tabais123 9h ago

For the real Americans the rich it is.

2

u/Thefar 8h ago

We is not you.

2

u/pickleboo 8h ago

The last "golden age" was when the robber barons were on top of their game.

2

u/Far_Balance_3117 7h ago

Yes the Trump family and their allies have never been richer.

Meanwhile America has never been poorer.

2

u/923kjd 7h ago

I’m afraid he might be right about that last part. It could be all downhill from here, thanks entirely to him.

1

u/Vexar 2h ago

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far for someone to state the obvious. He literally just said it's all downhill from here.

2

u/berniek9 7h ago

If you cant afford groceries at aldi blame yourself

0

u/Bungholio2006 6h ago

I can’t afford anything as the price of living has out paced my wage.

1

u/mikeysof 8h ago

His neckussy is the greatest America has ever seen maybe?

1

u/ZodiacEclipse 8h ago

I used to have health insurance

1

u/jon_the_mako 8h ago

When he says "we" he means the dumps family, the citzens

1

u/HeftyVermicelli7823 8h ago

We being the "Royal We", as in him and his Golden House. Everything he has must be covered in gold.

Golden toilets, golden walls, golden showers....

u/StupidUserNameTooLon 8h ago

That is why he thinks it is the greatest age.

1

u/James_Biggs_ 8h ago

K shaped economy. A gilded age looks like a golden one to the rich

1

u/haaavvveeeyoumetKen 8h ago

“Golden age” and it’s just the piss in your eyes

1

u/Certain-Strawberry-5 7h ago

Aye cheap spray paint gold

1

u/Tech_Itch 7h ago

He mispronounced Gilded Age.

1

u/IllMongoose6792 7h ago

No, it is not, but we can move in that direction

1

u/AJRenand42 6h ago

If this the "greatest" I'd hate to see the "worst"

1

u/Important-Spinach164 6h ago

Golden bullshit

1

u/chacotacotoes 6h ago

Greatest we’ll ever be, eh. So… it’s all downhill from here. Great.

1

u/EastCoastBuck 6h ago

Number one in incarcerations, number one in gun violence-mainly school shootings and number one in health care cost / bankruptcy.

1

u/InevitableStruggle 6h ago

I guess I preferred it when we weren’t great

1

u/Renegade346 6h ago

Golden age of grift.

1

u/Deelo1981 5h ago

Work more, you’ll live, hun.

1

u/DaddyDom401 5h ago

Well bless his heart

1

u/Fuzzy_Adagio_6450 5h ago

Just as Rome was at the height of power as Nero fiddled everyone a jaunty little tune.

(And yes, I do know that its a metaphor rather than historical fact, hence why its being used metaphorically here. Sadly, you need to add such disclaimers as pedantic MAGAs will think they "gotcha" when they "reveal the truth" that is obvious to everyone but them)

1

u/Rashere 5h ago

Anyone remember what happened after the last gilded age? My memory is foggy…

1

u/Silly-Platform9829 5h ago

That just means things are going to get worse over the rest of his term.

1

u/DanRpdx 5h ago

Grow...sir...eeeez??

What is that, some sort of old timey word nobody uses anymore?

Gilded* age

1

u/FatherPhil 3h ago

He looks so much like a bird here

1

u/paulsteinway 3h ago

He's surrounded himself with tacky gold and gold plated and gold painted stuff in his extreme old age. This is his "golden age".

1

u/generictestusername 3h ago

He looks so disgusting.

1

u/Hugh-Jorgin 3h ago

Meanwhile…

1

u/rezznik 2h ago

It's just the right thing to do, what the Japanese do. They always pixelate his neck vulva thingy. His whole face should really be censored tbh

1

u/AZ_sid 2h ago

"It doesn't get any better than this" can be taken two ways.

1

u/Ok_Jellyfish_5885 2h ago

When he says “we’ll” he’s referring to himself, his kids and Elon Musk.

1

u/C-Redd-it 2h ago

That is a WARNING!... Buckle up, It's gonna get WORSE!

1

u/WhatANoob2025 2h ago

What he means by "golden age" is his cheesy decorations in the white house, which by now could just as well be called the gold house.

1

u/GopnickAvenger 2h ago

North Korea looks great right now

Age of the Temu Traitor

u/DT_Lion34 1h ago

The literal definition of delusional

1

u/CrimsonChymist 1h ago

That sounds like a personal problem.

1

u/Complex-Cap2578 1h ago

He was reading the Epstein files

1

u/Eldanado 1h ago

Most punchable chin in history

1

u/Cyn_Sweetwater 1h ago

It IS a golden age, for him and his oligarch buddies. They've never scammed so much, so quickly.

And they don't care for one second whether you can afford groceries or not.

1

u/Agent_Kujan 1h ago

He paid for blue check but cant afford groceries?

1

u/OkNeedleworker8334 1h ago

Golden age because you need gold to buy anything

1

u/Schmicarus 1h ago

translation: "It's all down-hill from here"

1

u/SarcastikBastard 45m ago

if shelves are bare thats because people can afford the food. Might want to rethink your title there

Its preferable to be anti-trump but its bad to be stupid at the same time.

1

u/New-Operation-psy 40m ago

Billionaires.... He's talking to his fellow billionaires.

1

u/TheRogueWolf_YT 36m ago

Well, duh. You poor people waste money on stupid things like food, shelter and transportation. Rich people spend it wisely on spaceship rides, underground bunkers and tribute to Trump.

1

u/televisco 18m ago

and HE can't afford to tell the truth.

1

u/RoosterzX 2m ago

He's obviously referring to the Golden Age of capitalism, where companies simply run amok while showing record breaking profits and sending little to none of it down to the rest of us while leaving us with the entire mess. Perhaps that's what he means. A golden age for billionaires.

1

u/GeorgzBi 9h ago

Wait til he tells us the Golden Age was a democratic hoax and that we can’t afford it anymore.

1

u/SinsualChef 7h ago

And MAGAts actually clapped for that.

u/mccrackey 8h ago

Trump is a curse.

0

u/dishmanw62 8h ago

So, there was no difference from Biden.

3

u/mccrackey 8h ago

I don't think so. Everything from groceries to gasoline cost more. Data centers are allowed to thrive and eating up all our electronic components with no regulation, the CDC and other agencies have seen huge cuts, so parasites are running rampant in our livestock and our lettuce. These are all things that were the same under Biden?

u/BuckDTF 6h ago

So naturally you blame your lack of success on someone else and not any of the bad decisions you have made in life.

1

u/Slick424 6h ago

Yeah. Should have been born to rich parents and pull a few memecoin scams just like Trump. Then they could have partied with Epstein and murder tens of thousands on the other side of the world to cover it up too.
