They called Biden's record low unemployment and record high stock market a recession, and they call Trump's crashing the economy for no reason "an acknowledgment of economic turbulence" due to his efforts to rebuild the US manufacturing sector

Reposted from Carl Quintanilla

(Washington Post) - President Donald Trump declined to rule out a recession this year as the economy stutters from his efforts to impose tariffs and rebuild the U.S. manufacturing sector ..

Plus, who says he's trying to "rebuild the US manufacturing sector"? He dismantled programs to do that and is levying and erasing tariffs willy-nilly allegedly because of "fentanyl".

Nothing like total economic chaos to convince the smart money to invest heavily into manufacturing infrastructure.

The economy may undergo an unscheduled rapid disassembly.

NYT: why this is bad news for Joe Biden.

mtsw.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Biden increased manufacturing construction by like 400% and the media told voters his economy was the worst in US history. Now Trump shits all over it and they're like "ah his noble efforts may need some time to pay off, patience everyone"

Republicans good at economy, Dems bad at economy must be upheld

People who ascribe secret complicated motivations here are writing fan fiction.

Elite conservatives in media like Trump for the same reasons as regular conservatives like Trump: they’re very stupid racists who want Trump to rule us like a King

A lot of people like to ignore that republicans have been against the republic for decades now. They would’ve made every president since Nixon king for life if they could’ve or if they elected to.

Literally nothing makes any sense anymore

Would you say it is because, "they like Trump and want him to rule us like a King?"

Oligarch-controlled media can and did convince voters that a good economy was actually a bad economy, but I don't think it will be able to convince voters that a bad economy is actually a good economy

The people are dying to know, do you have any theories on why mainstream coverage is like this?

kimichitsuzuku.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Most mainstream media is now or always has been owned by rightward-leaning money.

Sinclair broadcasting owns like 80% of the market around here, having bought out most local stations regardless of affiliation. iHeart is about the same for radio coverage.

maeamian.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I appreciate the sincere answer, I was mostly just shitposting about mstw's well known and extremely well founded theory that "They like Trump and want to help him rule us like a king" but this is part of the underlying structure that backs up that theory

What does this have to do with the issue of whether Biden’s economy from 2021-2024 was better or worse than the current economy under Trump?

I think their hope is that the public will prefer a recession to inflation, and unfortunately they may be right. Inflation hits everyone, esp on groceries. A recession, in theory, hits groups in different ways and older voters aren’t as affected. Better others are hurt a lot than all hurt some.

You know what's a really great use of the US workforce's time and skill set? Manufacturing Crocs and potato peelers and whatever

Time for pitchforks. Enough of this crazy alibiing for T!

gartmartin9.bsky.social•9 hours ago

WaPo and the NYT were relentless in lying about the state of the economy under Biden. Ironically, the one paper that reported accurately, was the Wall Street Journal. This piece, saying how strong the economy was, came out a few days before the election.

What “efforts”?

legendsofthepaul.bsky.social•6 hours ago

See this is what worries me. I feel like Dem elites do not understand the extent to which all of the major sources of news in America are arrayed against their success. If they don't do some out-of-the-box thinking, every election will be 2024 from now on.
