I know many of you on here voted for Trump and some like Tiny claimed it was because a Democrat president would be disastrous for the economy. How is that working out? Was Trump the economic genius you believed he’d be?
Maybe Trump 1.0 was really just a continuation of Obama’s 8 years of good economic stewardship (if you objectively look at the trend lines it surely looks that way), rather some great economic moves of the Trump 1.0 administration. Clearly Trump is a failure when it comes to running the economy and is great at putting the economy in ruination.

Please get a grip Blackman. First you say Charlie Kirk's still alive. Now this. I never voted for Trump. Ever. I never said a Democrat president is disastrous for the economy. In fact, I've frequently said Clinton, in his second term, was the last decent president this country had.
I actually think economic policy under a Harris presidency would have been better than under Trump, but ONLY IF Republicans controlled Congress. With Harris, there would have been no erratic tariff policy. No deportations of people who do the work Americans don't want to do. And no war against Iran, although admittedly in the longer term that could be a positive. The jury's out.
Without control of Congress, she wouldn't have been able to undo the crowning economic achievement of the Trump presidency, the corporate tax cuts. And while undoubtedly she'd fuck up economic policy to some extent through overregulation and executive orders, would she do as badly as Trump with his tariffs, poorly planned deportations, and Middle East War?
The problem would have been if Harris got elected and the Democrats controlled the House and Senate. Your party ran off Kirsten Sinema, and Manchin didn't run for re-election. They were by far the wisest Democratic Party voices in the Senate. Half of the ones that are left are loony tunes, like Elizabeth Warren and AOC. Harris, with her former plans to ban fracking and her tax policy is borderline loony tunes. Undoubtedly she'd resurrect some of Joe's 6 trillion spending proposals that never got implemented. Actually she'd probably try to push through those and more.
I wish the bastards in Washington would just devolve the power to the states. All they do is pick our pockets and provide very little in return. And get us into wars.
Maybe you watch too much Fox News Blackman. I haven't heard anyone blaming the bad economy on Biden. That's unlike Democrats who were constantly giving credit to Obama for anything positive during Trump's first term, like you just did. And blaming Trump for Bidenflation.
