I don’t think he’s stupid enough not to know what those numbers mean. The crowds he hangs out with, there is zero doubt he has seen those tattoos on more than a few faces in the MAGA crowds.
I don’t necessarily think he was even aware of the price tag, or thought about a proposed sale enough to notice. I think the chances this was one of his nazi employees is higher than him setting his own sales price himself.
He doesn’t seem to be coherent enough to be running day to day things like that, when his focus is getting in front of any camera willing to record him.
What a dishonest argument.
There’s a world of difference from someone barely getting by, living paycheck to paycheck, versus a middle class worker well into their career, able to afford minor luxuries and still squirrel away money for savings and retirement.
I am middle class. I am 20 years into my career. I make comparatively good money.
But due to not prioritizing buying property, I’ve pretty much missed my window. I can qualify for a mortgage, have the 20% down-payment, but the monthly payment would pretty much wipe me out, costing around $3k more per month than renting.
If I were at this point in my career 20 years ago, I could have easily afforded a house comfortably.
That is what we’re talking about when we talk about the housing crisis for specifically the middle class.
