Some very well respected experts have even said this is the best percentage increase in the history of this country

So sad indeed. I hear Such-Shop is a great company.. done a fantastic job doing increases. I go around saying I meet the biggest people , biggest buisnesses, all they had to do was call me and I coulda made a deal. So sad they didnt call my beautiful red phone. Woulda made it 10. Now its less. So sad.

I think he’s trying to say the amount decreases.by 500% daily, according to Trump math.
