OPINION:
On the same day that former President Donald Trump was indicted for the fourth time, the chief economist of Moody’s Analytics announced that “Bidenomics” is costing the average family $709 more per month than just two years ago (“Trump, 18 associates indicted in Georgia election probe,” web, Aug. 14).
That’s the equivalent of an $8,500 annual pay cut in disposable income under President Biden’s policies.
What do these two seemingly unrelated stories have in common? They illustrate that both the former president and the average American family are under siege from the Biden administration.
With all these bogus indictments piling up at Mr. Trump’s doorstep while former President George W. Bush — whom the Democrats accused of “lying us to war to enrich his friends,” the most egregious accusation in the history of American politics — goes about his daily retirement business without a care in the world, it’s fair to say that both Trump and the beleaguered American family are in survival mode.
If Mr. Trump, who actually authored a book titled “The Art of Survival,” is going to survive this legal onslaught designed to drain his financial resources so he is forced to end his presidential campaign, he needs to do some outside-the-box thinking.
I propose that Mr. Trump pivot from his once-potent-but-now-stale “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan. He should rebrand to show solidarity with the people and change it to “Survive ’Til ’25.”
If he does, I predict a domino effect that will catapult him back into the White House.
