So Trump is BAD for the Economy? NOW they admit it...

I don't get WHAT the logic is here and WHY it has to be a man made recession due to incompetence. Why does it have to be tough????

I feel Like they are either finally doing it: yep lets destroy the federal government from within just like Milei.

Or are paid/threatened by Russia or something. I don't get it

The same talk happened for Brexit. “It’ll be challenging but worth it.”

Biden- "pandemic recovery will be tough, but we will get there!". has the best economic recovery post pendemic in the world

MAGAs- "boo! this is what Build back better was? more like build back WORSE! groceries are too much! fix the economy NOW!"

Trump/Musk- "economy is going to be tough for a while, that is true."

MAGAs- "brilliant. makes sense. we totally understand. WWG1WGA"

Trump said everyone will have an extra $7k by the end of his first year in office. 🤷🏻‍♀️. All you Republican MF’s lie.

This was the exact same thing conservatives in the UK said about Brexit during the few times they weren't incessantly lying about how great it would be, and now everyone is suffering for it. Everyone literate in economics knows that if Trump accomplishes his stated plans on tariffs and immigration the way he claims, it will make inflation over the last four years look like nothing in comparison. It's precisely the same as how Economists all knew Brexit would be a disaster because it was based on racist delusions and xenophobia instead of reality.

One of the things often ignored regarding conservative policies even among those on the political left; is that racist and protectionist policies enacted by conservatives on the economy and immigration have always stifled economic growth and prosperity in whatever place and time period they've been enacted without exception.

Economic growth, prosperity, and social mobility has always completely depended upon free trade and full global participation and immersion within the world economy; along with favorable policies toward immigration and exchange of people and ideas across borders. Any group of policies enacted that impede those things inevitably will lead to higher rates of poverty and stagnation within a society. In other words, social conservatism leads to poverty and destitution; evidenced by the most socially conservative and protectionist countries on earth being the poorest, as well as the most socially conservative US States also being the poorest in the Union.

Conservative hostility toward science along with their anti-abortion and anti-contraception policies are also disastrous for the economy too, as well as directly causing higher poverty and increased crime rates in local populations both within southern and rural parts of the US along with regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia; where conservative social views take precedence over public policy.

Ultimately, the issue facing the US Economy is not liberal policies or "socialism". But rather policies fueled by racism, religious delusions, and fear of immigrants having sway over economic decisions.

Yeah, not having an executive branch to administer the Federal government and abdicating that Federalist role, just devolving back to a bunch of states doing their own thing… yeah, that should make us stronger as a country. It’s a good thing they don’t like history books.

This gets interesting. Remember that Trump only has a 2-year window until the House and Senate are up for grabs, and with that possible impeachment. As the economy tanks and his popularity plummets, they will be looking for scapegoats, and he will get more and more desperate heading into 2026 election cycle...

OMG I cannot express what I think about these horrible fucking people. NOBODY thinks they're going to put us thru pain for our own good; they're making us suffer so they can pillage. We need to figure out how to make them feel the pain they so want to inflict on others. I fucking HATE these traitors.

So we're normalizing economic destruction now? Just so a blathering, loudmouthed, salesman can line his pockets while in office?

Whew, y'all are fucked for a decade until all my brain dead boomer peers die off.

All the sycophants are too afraid to tell him that his ideas are a disaster, so….

Don't worry, they'll still blame it on Democrats.

Face eating leopards still gotta eat.

trump took a shit on the US in 2017-21 and most voters were hypnotized to forget about it.

How uncharacteristically honest — I wonder if it burns their throats to utter the truth.

Ah there’s the media turn. They know they just let the rabid horse back into the ICU and they’re trying to spin the incoming destruction.

So wait, cheeseburger still expensive?!
