    When the Democrats said “What are you talking about? The economy is doing great!” the rightoids correctly called this shit out. Now that it’s Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?

      “How could Biden do this?”

      Is the response I’ve seen so far.

        Just saw the Keebler Elf Mike Johnson say almost exactly that a short time ago. I mean, really, WTAF.

        Little d messes around with tariffs, the market reacts, and Mike Johnson the weird Keebler porn elf, is out there saying “we are seeing the effect of the last administration’s horrible economy” or some such nonsense…as if we cannot all see with our fucking eyes, the games that little d is playing and the effect it is having. I’m horrified that people actually fall for such obvious bullshit, especially after such a great economy was handed off to little d.

          People are falling for the lie because, the average Joe is being squeezed dry. The economy is only doing well for the already wealthy.

          Of course, the current economy was the result of the Biden Administration attempting to fix Trump’s first term. Along with the Trump administration’s complete mismanagement of COVID-19.

      The Democrats were not exactly wrong. But a lot of people twist it and act like they said it’s perfect, and perfect for everyone, which they did not say.

      We are about to find out how much worse it can actually get, and I guess the people that were saying “Bidenomics” was the worst thing ever and total tyranny, etc., are likely going to have to eat their words…

      I don’t often go to Fox News, but man under Fox Business and the stock market going down, people are actually upvoting very negative reactions to all of this. It was surprising to read. I thought somehow they were going to sugarcoat it, but they aren’t, and in most cases upvotes are far outnumbering the downvotes.
