Somehow I don’t think Mr “Pro-Business” will hamper banks’ efforts to fleece us.
LOL, Bernie knows that’s never going to happen. He’s just reminding the world of an empty promise that trump made, and openly offering his help so that Trump can’t say the Democrats blocked him. He’ll still say it, but there will be readily available evidence to the contrary, not that that’s ever mattered before.
Trump Admin: Cap interest rates at 10%, but also we repeal the thirteenth amendment.
Democrats: No! What is wrong with you?!
Republicans: DEMONRATS WON’T WORK WITH US TO CAP INTEREST RATES AND ALSO THEY DRINK SMOOTHIES MADE OF BABIES!
Republican Voting Base: [Thunderous applause. 90% voter turnout. 99% voter loyalty.]
Everyone Else: I dunno, both parties seem the same. [Sub-50% voter turnout. Interfactional backstabbing intensifies.]
I know Bernie is being polite and playing politics, but let’s be honest: Trump keeping this promise is about as likely as Hell freezing over.
It’s not polite, it’s calling him out. Trump will say/lie about anything. At one point Trump said exactly this. He didn’t mean it, he just said some shit.
Bernie is repeating his own words because occasionally Trump says something good without any intent to follow up.
So Bernie is taking him at his word. He knows Trump will never do it, but if he can call the hypocrite out and trick him into agreeing, why not?
To want to talk about 4D Chess? There it is.
I guess we’ll see, but I think we can all appreciate his willingness to go straight to brass tacks and hold Trump’s feet to the flame while the entire Democrat Party leadership is still busy clutching their pearls.
That’s Bernie for ya!
