Not quite true. He had 220 complicit Republicans in the House and 53 complicit Republicans in the Senate, along with a few misguided Democrats. They could have stopped him. They did not. Let's call it the #RepublicanRecession
The US economy shrank in the first three months of Donald Trump’s second term as he sought to roll out a poorly conceived trade strategy, thinking that the sweeping tariffs on the world would strengthen the US economy.
They are gonna use the estimated money from the tariffs to justify the reconciliation part of the tax cut in order to avoid the Senate requirement of 60 votes to pass the tax bill.
No. He is the mouthpiece for it, the clown in the spotlight, captivating the attention of the global spectators.
The ones who actually drove your economy into the shitter were much more sinister figures than him, the ones in the background. The ones writing the script. Heritage Foundation et al.
Cue Trump in front of the cameras - “This is Biden’s economy I inherited. I only just got here. Bigly genius Golden Age just around the corner, numbers like no-one has ever seen before, believe me.”

Not single handedly.
All the sycophants from GOP clapping like trained seals instead of opposing him on anything have a big part as well. He is the focal point but y'all have to face the fact these are not very smart guys...
WTF you talking about George? I just watched, Sean, Laura and Watters! Things are just fine with our economy and in MagaFox world. According to our Rapist/ Felon President, “The most successful 100 days in American history!”
He single handedly drove the world's largest economy into the dumpster. His worshippers won't care- to them it's just a natural casualty of "owning the libs"
Yes. But if his weak AG Garland had started prosecuting the J6 disgrace to our country from the top instead of starting at the bottom, we wouldn't be experiencing this unanticipated nightmare. Sad.
All your skeets regarding the White House, should be in caps for the duration of Trump's term. ALARM BELLS are continuously ringing. Trump shouldn't be allowed to out-shout anyone.
Here's how Trump reads that headline: "Trump again shows he can do anything, do it quickly, and nobody knows for sure what he's going to do next."
As a sociopath, he doesn't perceive the consequence, only the "achievement," and as a narcissist, there are no "others" that matter, there is only him.
AND - it was a key part of the Koch Brother's Network takeover plan begun in 1980.
Rush Limbaugh was the opening salvo on hate radio. We, or at least I, thought it was a crackpot joke at the time. Oops. Many former friends lost to this.
Some of the answer is that it's not what they're voting for that matters to them, it's what they're voting against. And some of the answer is also that it's not what they're voting against, it's what they think - and have been snowed into thinking - that they're voting against.
Sadly, we have a lot of bigots in America, and their discrimination is more important than their well being. In other words, MAGA cares more about hurting others than helping themselves.
He hates America and his plan all along was to burn it to the ground including Republican Party and middle class America all while grifting and lining his pockets with payoffs from billionaires and big corporations.
my favorite part is he blames Joe for everything. he is such a weak piece of shit he will never take responsibility for anything in his life. his plans can fall outta the sky anyway now, and let's hope f-elon and all the maga republicans are on board when it does
Italics would look 𝘴𝘰 much better, the orange demagogue has cornered the market on ALL CAPS!

We all know he is incompetent, but I believe it’s partly revenge mode he’s in. Either way, it’s a travesty! He doesn’t care about America in the way he should
Haha funny not funny
But the good news about a depression is that prices will drop drastically. The bad news is you won’t have any money to buy anything and you probably won’t have a job 🤷♀️

Unfortunately, he did what was expected from a felonious lying con-man gold-cheating sexual predator that paints himself orange and who lives in his own fantasy-land.
That orange turd is really senile. However, those who voted for him &his devastating policies will pay a very heavy price for their vote. Also those who SAT out this election may you all suffer beyond your expectations
Sorry George but the orange turd is too stupid to have done this single-handedly. His handlers told him what to do and like the stupid that he is, he did it. More than just him need to be blamed.
Yep. Surprised it took him that long. He's a lobotomized bull (apologies to the bull) in a china shop. Any sane nation would put him down before he does more damage and hurts anyone else.
With a recession closing in, even Amazon’s empire isn’t untouchable. Bezos, who built the backbone of small shipping, should be smart enough to see the Trump train leads to collapse. Everything Trump touches crumbles, why not jump off and help save the economy?
No shit. Republicans and libertarians are the fucking idiots of “fail up” good ole white boy’s politics. Keep em, poor, sick, and on a longer leash misogynistic racism.
"DONALD TRUMP SINGLE-HANDEDLY DROVE THE ECONOMY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTO A RECESSION IN JUST THREE MONTHS."
I can knock down an entire wall in my house with a sledgehammer & wire cutters in a few hours or sooner. When I build a wall in my house though it might take me a week or more
You can’t really give Donald Trump all the credit. We should all give the heritage foundation their famous project 2025. They’re tearing up our constitution. Let’s also give a little credit to the members of the Supreme Court who gave complete immunity and agency. Let’s give Mike Johnson a big hand.
This is not as easy as it sounds! You have to be a professional loser! Someone who does not accept facts, who studied business but always sought it had to do with flying, like in business class. (And he hated it! Not enough gold!)
I really wish people would air commercials during the Kentucky Derby and NBA and NHL players hammering this fact home for those not paying close attention
👍...in THREE months👍 Where's the righteous indignation from the GOPaliban? If Biden'd done this OMG we'd never hear the end of it. As it was we had the BEST ECONOMY under President Biden of any during our lifetimes & GOPaliban lied every day about it. Magats you know who created tariffs; did this.
I do understand. AlaBubbaBama here. MagaTurd is going to be here tomorrow amid protests planned. We must keep cool heads & peacefully protest no matter what tomorrow. I wish you the best in Texas.
And it hasn’t really even hit the hardest yet. We’ll be lucky if we don’t go into a depression.
Every economist warned him about tariffs but the big mouth dumbass wouldn’t listen.
Purposely destroying the economy seems like an impeachable offense 🤷♀️
Just be patient everyone. Putin’s plant says the economy is heading in the right direction. Just wait a little while longer. (What the fuck are we doing?)
He'll deny it. He'll say this is the strongest economy in the history of economies and he's dug us out of the mess he was left by Biden...which is so blatantly false.
Loser economist!
Gambling with USA ECONOMY! HE’S ENJOYING THE ROLLERCOASTER RIDE BECAUSE HE IS IN CONTROL!
SHAME ON YOU CONGRESS,ALLOWING A “RAPIST” ABUSE OUR ECONOMY!
THIS IS NOT FUNNY! DO SOMETHING, CONGRESS!
But what's crazy is some working class people are okay with it. They're saying oh just give it time we got to feel the pain first f*** that s*** I don't like pain
You can tell that today's economic news is unspinnably bad for Trump by the lengths to which Fox is going to bury it under a mountain of right-wing agitprop and the most anodyne and uninformative of headlines.
My own theory: using the carrot & stick approach, Putin has driven Trump to destroy his own country. After 20+ years, 47 STILL believes he has a chance to build 'Trump Tower Moscow.' And he still lives in fear that even a small fraction of what Putin has on him might be revealed.

Well done Donnie this one will live forever with your name on it.
Bear it as the largest Albatros possible.
Wake Up America!
…and I STILL blame merry garland for every inch of this catastrophe.
America surrendered the day he took office
Pressure 24/7
See that bright light coming.
It's a slow moving train wreck hitting America.

That's what Dr. Gartner says, anyway (Our Shallow State, Duty to Warn).
Until it's gone, of course.
We’ve been bathed in it for decades.

millionnaire economy ? Simple : Start with a billionaire economy.
US Q1 GDP falls
After years of growth under Biden and Democrats, Trump and GOP have swiftly lead the US into recession.
The causes are numerous, including mass firings by Trump, alienation of US partners and allies, and unprecedented tariffs.

who can tell his voters that?
🦊?
Just positive.
In exchange for what? The possibilities are numerous. Trump is a greedy sadistic man child. So we may never know.
This is frightening to see one fucking moron destroy a vibrant economy because he's got one function brain cell and it's exhausted.

Trump recreated those conditions in three months for the beginning of his second term.
The only thing we are missing is a pandemic....
That is why he got the worm guy in charge of Dept of Health. 😱

stop letting them off the hook !
Donald Trump single-handedly drove (noun, good thing) of (place) into (noun, bad thing) in just (length of time).
CASINOS…WHERE THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS‼️
🤦🏼🤣
Be scared
Reduced consumer consumption and full tariff effects will prove Trump owns this…
