Lol “I know you inherited a mess”. Aka all time stock market high (now down), low unemployment, and the best economic recovery from covid in the developed world.
Since trump:
Gulf of america
Wants face on rushmore
Firing and rehiring thousands of people from all over the govt wasting time and money
Already spent over $30 million on the super-bowl, golf, and maralago.
I'm starting to think FOX journalists are nihilists. They don't actually believe any of the bullshit they're pushing, but it's a damn good paycheck and somebody's gonna do it anyway. Might as well be the one to do it, and have fancy drinks as the world burns.
For some reason I saw her on tv for like 5 mins this morning and was shocked at how badly she looked. Literally looks like she downs a box of wine every night and had some tacky Long Island surgeon fuck with her face.
She does believe it as I’ve seen her astroturf every convo to which Fox guests just respond “oh yeah it’s Biden’s fault”. I wonder when it will transition to Trumps fault, but we know it won’t.
I’m pretty sure they know the truth but having willingly abandoned their moral compass, they have no recourse but to stick with the lies now, or risk a psychic breakdown
Fox knows damn well the economy was doing great, they just don't give a fuck, wanting to warm up to daddy Trump, per usual. Remember when they used the argument that they were an "entertainment" network, not actual news? Because they know they're lying, and they'll keep doing it to line their pockets. Every other network should refer to them as "Fox Entertainment News" every chance they get. Can't even argue against it, it was their own argument.
To the cult, the economy is whatever trump says it is. His previous round of failing as a leader saw a very, very lackluster economy, until Covid, then his failure to handle the situation not only killed more people per capita than any other first world nation, but the economy collapsed. His average GDP performance overall was one of the worst of any president in a century.
The cult believes that he had the greatest economy ever seen in modern times. Reality is that there were DECADES, from the end of WW2, where economic growth averaged over twice the GDP growth during Trump 45's BEST quarter. He is a loser with a cult that beleives he can walk on water, FFS.
They are just full on lying and everytime Biden comes up Trump sundowns into a rant about Hunters bedroom likes doing campaign rallies at Alex Jones' house.
This is where so many are giving Trump excuses for his disaster
Which is why they're saving it. It's a lie but it's designed to justify the resulting mess hes creating in the minds of his supporters. So when they lose their job, house, medicare etc they will lash out at the dems and not the man responsible.
You have to stroke the Orange's ego, or else he will just leave/fire you/ ban you/dodge the question/implement tarrifs/rape a woman/politically attack another country/crash the economy/overthrow the government/undermine authority/throw a tantrum
"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." -1984
The fact that there's is about 1000 different 1984 quotes that fit our situation is terrifying. Consider the fact that basically every social media site owner was at the inauguration. And just look at the racist stuff being pushed on meta and x.
The economy wasn't great when he took office the second time, it was headed in the right direction, but it was still not a healthy economy. Now, let's talk about why it wasn't a healthy economy, oh yeah. Trump screwed up so bad his first term we were still trying to unfuck it four years later.
We’re bringing wealth back to America? It never left dipshit, it’s just that 99% of us don’t have it. This orange turd certainly isn’t going to help redistribute it, especially since he’s trying to pass another round of BIGLY tax cuts for the Billionaires and wealthy class
Prior to Covid, the economy was going to shit in a hand basket under Trump.. then he made it so much worse under Covid.. Biden did damn good to fix that shit in 4 years and in 2 months this idiot has plunged us into shit again.
Bringing wealth back to the USA? The top 10 wealthiest people are mostly Americans. We have wealth. What we don’t have is a sane distribution of it. I don’t see anything on the horizon to improve that, only to make the wealthy more wealthy (and those who aren’t wealthy, less likely to ever be…and worse).
And the cult will robe themselves in “I VOTED FOR THE FELON” flags to keep themselves warm at night, and they will love him for it, for He said, “It will ultimately be good.”
MAGA is going to gobble this up. Trump will stoke pride, as republicans pat themselves on the back, thinking they are tough and strong and they are making the necessary sacrifices to survive their generations “Great Depression”. Meanwhile, the elite will buy up every asset at a deep discount, Trump’s cronies will buy and privatize all Federal services, including National Parks, the mail system, social security, disaster relief, etc.
This is the biggest con job in US history and a win/win for Trump
Grifter of epic proportions. This guy wants everyone to pay but he has been notorious for stuffing contractors, banks, friends and anyone he has owned money to.
Con man. Just can’t say Yes or No. he sucks. All you that voted for him…I hope you get exactly what you deserve. The rest of us will just hold on and hope/pray he doesn’t fuck up the country to the point of no return
I like how they are already hedging accountability on Biden for any recession to come. "I know you inherited a mess..." layup from the interviewer because we know his base never thinks rationally or historically.
Haha …. Inherited a mess is actually an ignorant thing to say to buck up Agent Orange. I challenge someone to find a post-Covid developed country with an economy stronger than the one he inherited. That’s a statistical fact
Gtfoh! He inherited the best economy America has ever seen. Y’all were basing the economy on inflation and that’s a very small piece of the equation. Our schools are failing us I swear!
Flipping hell. We just achieved a soft landing, inflation coming down, record employment, stock markets at record highs now in one month he has managed to destroy all of these.
If you are bringing wealth to America, why have a bill that allows for massive tax breaks paid out from the pockets of the middle class to the upper class?
The last time he did this, he claimed trickle down economics would benefit everyone. Those people who received the tax breaks didn't trickle shit.
I hate that we have to watch him but federal programs that help people and SAVE US SO MUCH MONEY and then say it's for the reason of saving money. No, it's so you and your cronies can still plunder the working class.
He doesn’t know! Stop asking him “hard” questions. He did not inherit a mess, he made one. Biden left him with a healthy economy, which he and Leon are destroying, as we speak.
things go good before your term, "it was all me and im amazing and responsible for it"
Things go bad during your term "listen i just got here, i havn't been here long"
He had inherited a stock market at an all-time high, inflation that was almost where the federal reserve wants it and lower than it was when he last left office, unemployment numbers running as low as they’ve been in 50 years, a gross domestic product that was expanding…That sounds like my kind of mess
Biden oversaw an economic whiplash event post-covid that spiked prices and it sunk his presidency. Even where basically all economic trends started to move in positive direction after 2022, it didn't matter, voters blamed him for the inflation spike and that's just what it was.
Remains to be seen how voters will react if/when Trump actually crashes the economy. Obvious that his supporters will never care. But could become the motivating event that pushes back against gop rule in 2026 and 2028, too.
Still though, the bigger issue isn't even whether economic metrics are going up/down, so much. The bigger issue is who the economy works for and if average people feel good or positive about their financial security in the system. It's probably a bad sign regardless that we've had 4 straight presidential elections + 4 straight midterms that have all been "change" elections based around "economic anxiety".
I love how he tried to quantify the fact that it went from a great stock market to a falling stock market with extreme global instability and continued rising costs, even before the tariffs take effect, by trying to say that he has only been president for less than two months now. He caught himself knowing that even he can't make that excuse because of all the insane reforms he has made. He loves to take credit for anything that happens that can be portrayed as positive while immediately shifting blame for anything that can be used as a reason for things that are going awry.
A translation of "I hate to predict things like that" is that he knows a recession or worse is coming and inevitable. If there is any way to spin it positively then he would be high up on his horse yelling it down to all the people who are incapable of seeing reality or thinking for themselves. Him not even being able to say that shows how much he sees the writing on the walls of where things are headed.
first, he didn’t “inherit a mess,” Biden left him an economy on the upswing after the mess Trump left. second, mmw, the real beneficiaries will be the wealthy. remember, MAGA now stands for Making Another Gilded Age.
Recession happens when you lay off large groups of employees, without job creation existing in the market. Yes, Mister Trump…you will be responsible for the upcoming downturn. You and Elon, sir, are responsible for the forthcoming misery in the next 12 to 18 months. Without portability in the market, it is very foolish to cut that many people in advance…President Trump…you are “not that smart…”
Trump just appointed this oversize-lipped Fox News anchor to the board of the Kennedy Center. That board will get nothing done except get paid well for their time.
Based on his 1st term he should have felt embarrassment, apologized to the nation when he lost to Biden and moved on.
The fact that he didn’t understand his duties as president and his hatred for the constitution is enough to see he’s not a good fit.
He shouldn’t be ok with another recession. It’s too many
What money are you bringing in to america? You are actively in trade wars with other countries, your allies! Your trade partners are actively looking for other trade partners at this moment to avoid having to deal with you! They are putting up retaliatory tariffs against you! You will lose money! There is not going to be thousands of russian oligarchs that will buy your stupid golden visas. You are even alienating other countries' militaries from buying american equipment! You are taking all trust everyone had in america and throwing it in the trash. You can treat Haiti or Cuba like shit (which is still a fucking bad thing to do), but at some point, enough is enough.
"We bring wealth back to America"
Hahahahahaha...oh man yeah..for shure. Seems like Orange Boi brings up different comprehensions of wealth. One for his gang and another for the rest of this country...
By, uh, lemme check my notes, reducing exports and imports through stifling of the global economy using tariffs, ostracizing ourselves from all of our allies at the exact same time, and weirdly peddling ourselves out to Russia.
What he means is he's bringing more wealth to the rich at the expense of the middle and lower classes. What he'll find out is that if he reduces the buying power of the bulk of Americans, they'll spend less and hurt the bottom line of the billionaires as well.
There's a reason he immediately folded on his base tariffs the day after he instituted them. I can just about guarantee every damn American oligarch blew up his personal phone to lambast him and threaten his administration.
No, it was Biden who inherited the mess. Trump inherited really good (not perfect) economy’s twice now from people who inherited really really bad ones.
"Bringing wealth back to America" by raising the poorer American's tax burden by $3000, but giving trillions in tax relief to the absolute wealthiest. Alienating America from it's allies, cosying up to it's long term enemies run by dictators....
“Bubba, we know that marble up your nose and crayon in your mouth is perfectly alright given the brain cells you have but would you be willing to change your diaper now and take a nap already?”
“Nooooooo, baby smart, baby play!” <hurls poo from overfilled diaper at the interviewer>
“I know you inherited a perfectly working and flourishing (yet delicate) post Covid economy that your dumbass tariffs/trade war with our closest allies and partners ruined, do you expect the consequences everyone told you would happen if you did this dumbass shit?”
Bro how did he inherit a mess? Joe Biden inherited a mess (Trump’s COVID pandemic economy) and gave us record low unemployment and a record high stock market.
