The same critics point to the economy. Gas prices went up, groceries cost more, and families felt the squeeze. Yet the message from the stage stayed the same: “We’re winning, we’re doing amazing, nobody’s ever seen anything like it.” For people living with higher bills, that kind of talk feels like a performance, not leadership.
And then there’s gerrymandering. Commentators who oppose him say he praises “tremendous victories” while benefiting from districts drawn to lock in power. They argue that instead of earning support, he leans on maps designed to tilt the game. In that view, the system gets twisted, the voters get boxed in, and he still calls it “fair” and “beautiful.”
Put together, critics describe a pattern: absolute lies, 180 turn-around, and no sincerity. Even when war breaks out, prices rise, and the political map is carved up to protect his side. They see it as a style built on exaggeration, denial, and constant self‑promotion, leaving the public to deal with the consequences while he insists everything is “absolutely incredible (= do not believe a word he says)".
