Gotcha !

He didn’t say what year

surfingthepast.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nor did he specify if the sign was plus or minus

Larry Kudlow actually said we might get to 8% GDP after the first term billionaire/millionaire tax cut in 2021. I don’t think we ever got to 2.5%. 🤡

Right, but if you ignore reality, you get different numbers.

Does Kevin get paid or does he just hang around the doors of the Fox studio?

“Yes well nevertheless…”

It’s almost as if they are full of shit

His only claim to fame is making bogus predictions.

I can't even watch video of Hassett because his face with that stupid gaslighting smile is so utterly punchable.

*If you ignore the effect of the Biden Tariffs

He smiles A LOT. I mean, if he was asked what's up with the shit eating grin when your boss is killing millions, he'd smile and say they deserved it and Americans were better off for it.

Without the effect of imports/exports, the US economy was that robust. What is clear is the pull forward of imports forced it negative and this is 100 percent owned by Trump’s tariff war. Blaming it on Biden is utter fantasy, but MAGAts only believe Trump.

The White House is full of "Baghdad Bob"s

For those too young to know who "Baghdad Bob" was:
He was the Iraqi Min. of (Dis)Information during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was known for his colorful & often outlandish statements during press briefings, where he frequently denied the reality.

I remember Baghdad Bob...the sun was always shining and there was no war...and if there was Saddam was winning! He brought comic relief to the real tragedy of war.

Though it's only been a couple of months, I have learned that everything Mr. Hassett says is factually untrue.

kevinc13.bsky.social•4 days ago

He's a fucking bobblehead.

If Hassert cheerleads any harder for Trump's bullshit, his nose is going to bleed.

tancred1098.bsky.social•4 days ago

If that Michigan report was in Trump's favor, he'd be crowing about it. Ties himself into knots to protect der Orange Kaiser

How did this lame brain, who has been consistently wrong, ever become Director of the National Economic Council of the United States?
I doubt that he could even balance his checking account.
