"This is tictic. This is tictac." me showing my mom drawings of new Pokemon I made up when I was 6

Just a heads up before you go hog wild on TicTic memes, he doesn't actually say that—it's a closed captioning error.

What is this novelty pack of like 6 tictacs?

Yes. They’re tiny little packs of tic tacs for “travel” and those little packs come in a bigger pack. Only place I’ve ever seen them is a Duty Free shop at the Canadian border

I get why Republicans think inflation is a good thing to campaign on, but what are they saying they'll do about it? It made more sense when they were blaming it on the stimulus checks, but nobody thinks more checks are coming, and Trump did the stimulus checks.

Maybe American voters are just stupid enough that saying "shit is all fucked up" when the opposition is in power earns a vote.

Probably they're just doing the usual "inflation happened while Democrats and I'm not Democrats so no inflation under me." This is a timeless strategy and works pretty much every time.

Hey Trump maybe more sanctions and ripping up of more peace and non aggression pacts would help reduce inflation. Maybe if you just declare people president of a country they become one guaido and you can run the country by proxy with no real power.
