"We have declining inflation, except the president’s putting on inflationary tariffs.

We have incredibly low unemployment, except where it’s caused by the Trump administration.

We have a market that was doing extremely well last year, until the Trump Administration sowed the level of uncertainty that I can’t recall any time since — Are you ready, Ski Daddy? — Jimmy Carter."

    Reagan also negotiated with a foreign power to keep Americans hostage until after the election. He should have been charged with treason

      I like to put it this way.

      Before Reagan was elected, ‘middle class’ was still defined as one good Union job paying for a family of four. In those days, $1 million was still considered a vast personal fortune. By the time Bush Sr. left office, ‘middle class’ was two incomes to keep the family afloat and $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
