    Even after eliminating all those government programs and laying off/firing all those federal employees, Biden still somehow controls the economy!!! If only we could elect a new POTUS to right the ship!!!

      Even after eliminating all those government programs and laying off/firing all those federal employees,

      the federal government still managed to spend over $200 billion more in BLOTUS’ first 100 days than same time frame last year.

      While I do admit it’s impossible for one administration to improve/fix a nation’s economy in one year… But It doesn’t take much effort to run a already crumbling economy into the ground. Edit: I’m agreeing with yall. Just like Republicans expected Biden to “fix” the economy in is first 100 days, it’s literally impossible. But dumb ass Trump can sure as hell drive a already broken economy right off the cliff in 100 days.

        A president has a limited ability to positively affect the economy positively but a vast ability to make it worse.

    It actually is kinda Biden’s fault. See, under Biden, the economy actually grew last year, which is why this makes Trump look so bad.

      Also, that he ran for 2024, which is at least part of what allowed the current situation…

        Also, and perhaps most importantly, that he appointed a do-nothing conservative attorney general who slow-walked prosecuting Trump for the coup attempt (among other things) instead of actually upholding the rule of law.

        Trump shouldn’t have been able to run in 2024 in the first place because he should’ve been hanged for treason in 2021.

        As much as he lies there were LOTS of things he wasn’t lying about. Mostly incredibly bad and crazy shit that he said he was going to do and is as we speak trying to do!

    When the Trumpers crawl through the rubble Trump has turned their country into, they’ll still think “how could Biden ever do this to us?”

      You know, I made the exact same comment and made the exact same prediction yesterday, while watching their dumbass “first 100 days” press breifing. I would normally say that great minds think alike, however the damn book was not supposed to be an instruction manual.

    He completely transparent to us, but the vast majority of Republicans eat this up. A mob of 77 million eager wpuld-be nazis is lending him a lot of momentum, it seems.

    LOL, DUMBASS.

    He was handed an economy that was the envy of the world, and now look at it.

    What a freaking business GENIUS.

    “Nothing to do with tariffs”. You have to be a special kind of idiot - donvict-tier level idiot - to buy that. He’s fucked this country and fucked it so hard. And we haven’t even begun to see the real long-term consequences yet.

    I’m sure that if we even still have free and fair elections, that if the Democrats get in power, they’ll have to work to pull us out of the ditch, all the while the Fifth Column media will blame the Democrats for not doing it fast enough. Just like the last fucking times. I wish the Democrats would start doing real smashmouth politics if they ever even get one iota of power back. No more of this trying to uphold “norms” by “reaching across the aisle” to the “gentlemen” from such and such state. FUCK THAT NOISE. Obama did that most of his two terms, and kept pulling back a stump when he’d offer them an olive branch. And that’s what happened to a right-leaning centrist like Obama.

    FFS.

    I would normally agree with the general sentiment that the POTUS gets both too much value and too much credit for the economy, and that particularly early in a term we are usually still seeing the results of older policy.

    Except that in Trump’s case he has spent the first 100 days in office implementing policies with nearly universal agreement that there will be an immediate negative impact. Drastic, nonsensical EO’s like mandating commerical truck drivers speak English. The tarrif nonsense. Threatening global war with the talk of annexing Greenland, Canada, and Mexico. Etc.

    Completely predictable. Empty shelves will be Biden too. Massive inflation? Also Biden. Unemployment, interest rates, everything Biden. He has no other play except to blame someone else so that is what he’ll do.

    Irony is, a lot of his policies existed through Biden’s term and just expired recently. Trump is literally blaming himself.

      Yep, part of the reason Biden lost is that he didn’t make any major changes to economic policy (aside from stuff like COVID-19 relief spending and the Inflation Reduction Act). By not reversing Trump-era polices (let alone making policy in the other direction, to rein in corporate power and reduce wealth inequality), Biden failed to materially improve the economic prospects of the working class and thus left them vulnerable to Trump’s demagoguery.

    I know it won’t change Trump supporter minds, but I wish they would ask what quarter will it get better by? That way there was at least something to track.
