The US was in a recession. They changed the government's definition of 'recession' to avoid acknowledging that fact, but rejecting that malarkey, we were in a recession.
He retains power only because of his supporters, many of whom are impervious to facts.
He is terrorizing the country & the world, yet he is only allowed to terrorize because Congress is letting it happen.
If his support cratered, Congress would magically find its spine. Hence, the end of his reign.
So many American's are just really NOT that intelligent! They BELIEVE they are however. America is the Dunning-Kruger "peachtree" dish for gullibility, conspiracy theories, & far right cultists!
Dumb as dirt America. I enjoy every death from Measles. I enjoy every suffering sentence from the trump voter fired from their government job. I will enjoy all those taken off disability and the closing of country hospitals. Try and enjoy these things while the ship goes down. Rupert Murdochs death
What recession? Go Look Up how you figure that out. It's Not by Naked ShOrt selling on the stock market. You guys are 10 seconds away from losing the little credibility you have left. It's gotten kind of funny to watch.
So, this was a self-fulfilling prophecy? Who could have predicted? Oh - I remember - just about any Democratic candidate in the 2024 elections at any level.
They had help forging these convictions from unabashed, unabated, unrelenting & what should be considered unlawful lies from media outlets supposedly reporting the “News”. Often skating-by via blind omission & some outrageously sold outright. Back to conviction: Elect a convict, get what U asked 4.
They had help from the media. They were told that the economy was bad. Every good thing the Biden Administration did was barely mentioned and immediately followed by some outrageous claim by Trump. Unless you were intentionally seeking information you would have no idea how great we had it.
The sheer idiocy of the American people is irreparable with the legislation on education in this administration. Keep them dumb and submissive and the votes will poor in- pretty foolproof strategy for maintaining political power, pretty terrible strategy for maintaining global power.
We lost the House with the best history because Biden did not tell anyone ( maybe he was down then). We lost the election because again the Dems told no one of Biden's actions, Biden was quiet. Biden and Garland let trump be free 4 yrs to do all and any lies. GOP is nothing but lies.
People have short memories. They didn’t remember he’s done this before he kept bragging about his great Academy. It was not and there are Republicans like Alyssa Farah Griffin that say he had a good economy. He did not get over yourself.
The good news is that the price of oil is plummeting as analysts predict worldwide recession. It will much cheaper for all those unemployed to drive around and try to fund a job.
When they screw up, they always promise good times just over the horizon. When Dems are running a solid economy, they always promise it’s about to collapse. The mental gymnastics…
My take is that the Democratic leadership, at the time, did not effectively communicate. Biden was tone deaf on inflation and did not control the narrative.
Yes, many liked not having POTUS on Twitter and on cable all the time. The problem is that he needed to control the narrative
Pre-Covid we had slow growth. Covid we printed. We never went back to offices fully. Commercial real estate has lost a ton of value for years. We’ve been propped up by cheap credit for honestly more than a decade. People struggle to buy food already. The economy was shit before tariff war.
Yeah..I keep asking MAGA what the hell was wrong with the past 12 years? We recovered from the orange0.1 but this moldy orange0.2 is a nightmare. I want to throw up every day.
Yes, that was part of it, but Trump also is protecting White rights and removing all people of color from power. You will have to really impoverish some people before they start to say, hey wait a minute.
Half the country doesn't have $500 in emergency savings - they've been in a recession since the '90s, when the manufacturing jobs were unceremoniously shipped overseas by bipartisan neoliberal fiat to further-neuter unions at the behest of Wall Street. 1/2
Desperate people do desperate shit. Maybe the insider trading hospice that is the Democratic Party shouldn't have fucked over its base so thoroughly for so long. Not many of them flipped to Trump, but plenty got disgusted and just stayed home. 2/2
Those same voters might learn that words have actual meanings. But I doubt it, 'cause they've now adjusted their goalpost. Now recession is a good thing.
"They" didn't convince themselves of anything. The narrative was initiated, promoted, and defended, while nearly a billion dollars was paid to mislead the American public. #Disinformation is a weapon, wielded against the people by the right-wing media oligarch, who also happens to own the Bible.

self fulfilling prophecies.
And it went right to their heads.
The imaginary 2024 recession was just the chosen vehicle to excuse bigotry and misogyny
Now he's trying to prove it
The ironies abound. How can this be reality?

I saw Vance do a commercial, lying about the price of eggs, saying they were 7 bucks a dozen or something.
Eggs were literally $13 a dozen in 2020 ...
which was the worst year of everyone's life.
They're a bunch of con men.
Trump’s trust filed to sell $2.3 billion of his DJT shares before he announced the tariffs.
He is so quick to point out corruption in the Democratic Party but his own corruption grows daily.
If that's the case, 75 million of us need to manifest a house falling on his head.
