To evaluate any POTUS, you have to consider what they inherited and what they left… Bush left Obama a great mess… Obama left Trump the strongest economy of all… Trump gave tax cuts and deregulation all based on Obama’s strong economy… then left Biden an incredible mess… Biden's economy is strong...
Take heart, the Senate isn't completely maga. John Thune is more moderate than the maga idiots. We won't win every fight but I believe the worst nominees won't be confirmed. Worst case would've been rick scott or someone like him as majority leader. The midterms will probably turn both houses blue
Someone I went to hs with posted a pic of gas at $1 and stacks of cash the day Trump won. I wanted so badly to comment, “we were in the same classes, where were you? This is dumb as hell.” 🤣 had to hold back (but willing to comment a year from now on his post, b/c I’m petty).
Watch fox News on Jan 21st 2025 they will be talking about how this is the best economy anyone has ever seen, inflation has never been lower and its all thanks to the president
Some were already acting that way just because Trump was elected. The markets did rise initially because the markets like stability (e.g. the election was decided without another insurrection).
However, as soon as Trump started posting his cabinet picks, this is what happened:
Trump’s Planned Tariffs Already Causing Major Layoffs At Companies —Preparing For Economic Recession/Depression! Loss Of Migrants Workers-Less Production/Higher Food Cost., Tariffs On Construction/Farming Equipment,/Business Supplies/Parts—Job Losses, Fewer Projects, Less Production!
I’ve said this elsewhere: On January 21st 2025, the msm narrative will be that the economy they labeled as unaffordable, high-inflation Bidenomics will overnight become the best economy on 50 years with record job growth the day after Trump takes office, and their base will eat it up.
"Kamala Harris wants to make it possible for working class families to take care of their loved ones without giving up on their hope for the future" was met with the suspicion as "Donald Trump was convicted on 34 felonies related to his hush-money payments to a porn star."
The myth that everything was hunkie dorie during Republican administrations should have been dispelled when one caused recession, a housing crisis, and insane inflation.
The economy will continue to grow and do well (provided Trump doesn't actually do anything he promised to do), and he will take credit for it just like he did when he Inherited Obama’s economy
The funny part is that Biden inherited Trump’s economy. This inflation that we’re dealing with is a byproduct of the COVID pandemic that Trump mishandled
But as soon as they fuck it up, the collapse will be from what they were left with and now we need massive tax cuts to get everything back on track. I can see it now.
Yup! Pete Buttigieg is making it his mission to remind America every chance he gets, all the things they accomplished and won't be felt for the next few years.
When politicians and commentators talk about how well the economy is doing they talk about GDP - which misses the entire point if the ‘economy’ doesn’t benefit working people - or are we still subscribing to the lie that it will all trickle down?
The pundits and media companies are raking in so much cash. I wonder if they are all just as fake with each other behind closed doors or if they make fun of their audiences for their stupidity while they cash their checks
The problem is that when a democrat is president they’re inheriting the economy of the previous republican that messed up the economy - the democrat gets the blame.
Then a republican takes over and inherits a stronger economy from dems
The political pendulum that we have in the US is a cruel one
We gonna see how long the economy will be as strong as it is. When mango mussolini gets the WH & he starts repealing things, bypassing congress to do his evil deeds, ONLY then when his own people get ignored then fired, civil unrest rises, will they see how unhinged he is.
And we see that! They don't, but they can even Google "Who is better with the economy," and it will say the Democratic Party. They say they think Google is Fake News, though!
Which wasn't fair for H.W Bush since his recession was more Reagan's fault than his and he would have corrected it in his second term just as Clinton did (since Clinton's policies that did so were basically Republican policies he conceded to.)
Because of the mass deportation and tariffs, we will see a recession in the next 4 years. I'd say it starts in 2026 or 2027. By 2028, maybe the idiots will be willing to dethrone their King and vote for a sane person.
STG, 2 months after Obama left office I overheard a lady tell her friend how much her life had improved since Trump took office—economy, government, laws. All that. My eyes rolled back in my head so far I saw my brain.
Like when they say crime and the economy are BIG PROBLEMS but if they're asked if they see a lot of crime locally or have trouble making ends meet, they say no. Fox + RW christian groups. I had a woman tell me 100,000 children in the US are kidnapped and sold into the sex trade *every year*. 🦊🐑🐑🐑
Oh, its wild to hear them talk about NY and LA.. and I would go there and they would be like, "OMG the crime"... and it's no worse than most places. Lol
All of a sudden they happen to check the stock market... Wow at a record high they say now.. Hail 🍊🤡 It's a cult and they are all hypocrites and naïve.
Yep! It's all sunshine and rainbows from here. This is why we call them dummies. Nothing has changed yet everything has changed. Same economy. Same dummies. I do wonder what they will tell themselves when S hits the F.
Oh. Yeah. It's Biden's/Obama's/The Deep State's/Satan's fault.
Twice now Trump handed good economy and his only job will be to ruin for everyone but the very wealthy. There’s gonna be so much debt created with his policies…
Yes but no one is mentioning that the US stock market was at all time high and breaking its own records daily for the last few months under Biden administration. US stock market had been tanking since the result that Trump won the election. Are people paying attention? Trump will blame Democrats!
I work in insurance. Our rates have been terrible but just in the last week or so they’re looking better…? And I think it’s just inflation finally is under control (<3%) and we’re recovering and there are always delays to this stuff.
If the rates go down w/DJT I will go crazy b/c he’ll take credit.
A Trump federal judge in Texas has blocked a new rule from the Biden administration that would have expanded access to overtime pay to millions more salaried workers across the U.S.
I said this would happen the moment he won Pennsylvania. I remember the rally where he got his audience to boo reducing inflation—the very thing they wanted. I knew that the day after he won, inflation would no longer be an issue for Republicans.
FYI...I work with guys who complained about how much they pay in federal tax. They don't remember how tRump raised rates on working class. They blamed Biden on their tax rate.
They believe everything fox(not)news tells them, some watch non-stop from 5p-11p.
And Trump isn’t even in office yet. Biden is still the President. So if the economy is doing better now, isn’t this Joe Biden’s economy until January 20th?
Presidents are temporary. No one is going to move factories to the US to counter tariffs if a President can rescind the tariffs with a stroke of a pen. They'll just pass the cost along to consumers.
Why is no one talking about the regressive tax structure that Trump is proposing? He plans to eliminate income taxes and pay for everything with tariffs. The poorest people in this country will see their “taxes” increase significantly.
1984 doesn’t really work with the party that supports the freedom of speech lol if you were talking about the party that wanted “hate speech” to be a crime then yes it would work there
They are too stupid to see what the market’s going & to think about how that will affect their retirement accounts —of course MAGAts spend & don’t save & the rich republicans don’t give a damn. They’ve got theirs.
It’s such bullshit. He isn’t even officially president yet, but when he was before for four years, he didn’t do jack shit and left Biden a mess with tariffs, a screwed up withdrawal in Afghanistan, no immigration reform bill passage, and no serious response to COVID.
Comments
……again???
everything trump ran on was done by President Biden and he will instantly take credit and run with it using the right wing PR machine.
Record energy production
Record low crime
Record stock market
Inflation in check in the 2% range
Low boarder crossings
3%+ GDP
However, as soon as Trump started posting his cabinet picks, this is what happened:
Stocks down: IT'S ALL BIDEN/OBAMA/HARRIS/GAYS/DRAG QUEENS/
Continue ad nauseum for at least four years.
And now we're all f-cked.
Worth reminding anyone who gives the dump credit.
Then a republican takes over and inherits a stronger economy from dems
The political pendulum that we have in the US is a cruel one
(No hyperboles used)
W. has no such excuse, though.
This Hate thing is old earth!
Connection is key. Be in action in your own communities!
As it is.
"the second time Trump becomes President" I love the sound of that!
Just silly.
Oh. Yeah. It's Biden's/Obama's/The Deep State's/Satan's fault.
If the rates go down w/DJT I will go crazy b/c he’ll take credit.

Obama: "It was my economy."
Biden: "It was my economy."
They believe everything fox(not)news tells them, some watch non-stop from 5p-11p.
They are deeply, madly, incessantly, powerfully, DELUDED!
They must…
Really, the tariffs are just a way to shift the tax burden from the wealthy to the working class.
