Wait, you guys know that Trump has never said anything that has ever made sense economically ever in more than ten years, right?

He once said Democrats were better for the economy. That was more than 10 years ago.

When he said he is going to reduce inflation and increase demand should’ve been the first sign. If only his supporters actually understood economics they would know that those two things are mutually exclusive 😂

Nobody voted for trump for "the economy"

Big shocker, but that goes for all 3 of the elections.

ten? Try 50 years. The guy has always been an idiot.

Putin figured that out 40 years ago.

I would expand your comment to say he’s rarely said anything that made sense in at least the last 10 years!

He has said that increasing our domestic oil supply would lower shipping costs. Does that make sense?

Not getting ran out for trying to describe tariffs as a federal revenue device was the moment I realized that no one understands basic economics.

And has bankrupted plenty of of his own businesses.

He makes terrible deals, cashes out, and leaves everyone but himself holding the bag for the failures. Guess who that is going to be since he is leading a government?

The Gen Z’rs who voted. This was their first time and they prolly were swayed by their boomer ass parents who don’t know any better.
