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.

MODERATORS
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.]
Theres about 0% chance of this happening without something totally catastrophic being bundled alongside it, like allowing creditors to come into debtors homes and beat them with sticks.
I'd consider taking one beating vs 25% interest forever.
I'm thinking they want to put discharging debt on the chopping block.
Strange how every time somebody takes an idea Republicans spouted that would actually help people, and decide to run with it, conservatives suddenly aren't so keen on the idea anymore.

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!
Even 10% is absolutely insane, especially with the ability to directly syphon their income.
Trump promises require GOP to back him up to ever get close to being implemented. GOP have always voted against bank regulation/extortion limiting. People earning tips are not big GOP donors, so fuck them. Taxes on SS are only paid by richest SS earners, but GOP have been going around on trying to get overall SS cuts.
Any promise not Project 2025 is politician lip moving meant to bring Project 2025.
Since trump's party controls the entire gov right now he is going to be pissed when he learns he can't blame his failures on the dems for most of the country.
He absolutely still can, his voting bloc is full of low information voters that just want validation for the racist/misogynistic hate they feel

Goddamn I fucking love Bernie.
ha ha ha ha ha ha riiiiight good one bernie
If Dems all act eager to act on Trump's actually good promises (untaxed tips for instance), it'll bite the GOP that much more when he backs out of those promises
I hope so, but they'll just blame the Dems anyway and their core voters will just believe it.
The core voters are lost forever. Fuck them, don't think about what they're going to do.
That's literally never worked. I mean I get the idea, but it's literally never worked because republicans get elected predominantly by the deliberately uninformed.
Imagine that, scooping up cold butter on a spatula and slapping it indiscriminately on your partner’s exposed butt.
Go on...
Next the step involves a little setup before hand. You use microwaved butter and a funnel, then drizzle it while its hot.
I'm not sure I want to imagine that in this context. Other contexts, no problemo. Just not this one.

Bernie calling out bullshit yet again.
Might be my background - lived half my life in a country where credit cards are interest-free for religious purposes - but 10% still seems insane.
Compare that to the ~30% I've seen, that's sadly an amazing shift (lol, which won't ever happen with the fascist caucus), but I commend Bernie for trying.

Hey biscuit
You forgot the butter.
Why doesn’t Bernie understand Trump was just joking when he said that?!
Talk about owning the libs!
Bernie can’t even get a joke!

Somehow I don't think Mr "Pro-Business" will hamper banks' efforts to fleece us.
