Normally I'd give an incoming POTUS a grace period of 6-9 months in regards to "owning" the economy; but Trump was so intent on a Hundred Days blitz that he kind of negates that grace.  If he had suns

Biden blamed all bad things on Trump for 4 years.  Trump has had less than 100 days to fix the disaster he inherited.  This is Biden’s economy still.  Own it.    Trump is the way and he will le

I have one and I’ve talked about it a little.  You’re not quite as good of a stalker as @Horseman I guess 

Everyone talks about what they do expect you. I wonder why.

Why do you care? Even for you this is an odd obsession. 

Because he’s a liar and I don’t like him ? He clogs up this board night and day with his uninteresting droning on. Even you take a break. Like when you go on vacations your FIL pays for.

And yet your average # of posts per year over a span of 10 years is still 30% higher than if every single one of my posts occurred in the last 3 years…

CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Trump will say employment is skyrocketing, and MAGAs - even the ones recently laid off - will believe him.

All this dope Trump had to do was literally do nothing.

Instead, now we have the worst layoffs in years, airlines cutting service (they don't want you to easily fly, that's only for rich people), skyrocketing health insurance premiums (again, they don't want you to have good health insurance, that's only for the privileged), taking away food benefits (they don't care if you can't afford it, tough sht), persistent inflation, and now the stock market, which was the one thing that was going ok, is entering correction territory.

Great job MAGA. Cratering the economy in under 11 months. Easily the most gullible, voting against the economic interests of the country so they could dump on an immigrant or a tranny somewhere. You got duped, again. Some of you 3 times already.

MAGA 2024: Prices keep going up, Biden sucks.  Trump will bring prices down!

MAGA 2025: Prices always go up :walkman:

 

 

 

Prices will come down if there’s a recession.  @edjr will be happy if a million people lose their jobs if it means he can buy a house for 30% less (which of course would still be like 30% higher than 2018 when he thought we were due for a real estate crash).

Yeah, Bidens economy was so good that people on snap benefits doubled on his watch. Hundreds of thousands have come off of them under Trump.

Trump was president in Oct 24? Someone doesn’t know what a fiscal year is.  Not surprising.  Very little to no real world experience.

Those are the numbers available.  You have other numbers available that prove your point?  No you don't.  You just say stuff.  It's all BS.

This economy turned into a piece of crap once Trump took over and announced his idiotic "tariffs!!" policy, which everyone with a brain knew was a failure. MAGA of course supported it.

All this dope Trump had to do was do nothing, and take credit for Biden's strong economy that Trump inherited (he also inherited a strong economy from Obama and fcked that up too).

It would be easy to say Americans are stupid for re-electing a proven loser, but the truth is only MAGA really did that. Ironically 99% of them are rally-goers who are suffering with these stupid policies. But they don't care because ICE is deporting veterans and college kids with brown skin.

Consumer confidence is sinking FAST.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/699311/economic-confidence-slips-holiday-spending-plans-plummet.aspx

Quote

Along with their heightened economic anxiety in November, consumers expressed much less of an appetite for holiday gift spending compared with earlier in the season. Americans now estimate they will spend an average $778 on Christmas or other holiday gifts, down $229 from October’s $1,007. The figure is also significantly below last year’s November estimate of $1,012.

Consumers often trim their holiday spending plans as the season progresses, including by more than $40 in 11 of the 19 years since 2006 for which Gallup has both October and November readings. It has only increased by at least $40 in four. However, this year’s midseason decline is the largest Gallup has recorded, surpassing the $185 drop seen during the 2008 global financial crisis.

The chart of holiday spending over the years highlights how bad things are this year…

Illegal Immigrants are murdering real Americans thanks to Biden. 

Inflation is still high thanks to the Biden ERA but getting better. I bought Organic eggs and chicken today, very cheap. Gas is $220 a gallon here

I’m guessing he’s doing the lie like when he insisted “Disney+ lost subscribers”…talking about specific people “coming off,” but ignoring if more went on than came off
