    “It will take a while“ sure it will take a while after Trump is out of office. Whoever comes after him will undo all the terrible things thathe has done, and then the economy will start to recover.

      Ratchet politics. Repubs make everything shittier. Dems crank it back just enough to keep the guillotines at bay. And time marches on.

    It’s funny how whenever a Democrat inherits a shit economy they have to be blamed for it on day one yet now we’re crowing the opposite because the party of feels not reals demands it

      It’s not even an exaggeration, this happens literally every time. It’s unreal that it still works as well as it does.

      Every Democrat since Nixon has inherited a TERRIBLE Republican economy, and has had to enter office with an immediate, emergency economic stumulus program. Biden not only had to fix the economy when he took office, he also had to launch a Covid vaccination program. Both were extremely successful, and the only problems with either one was solely because of Republican interference/ propaganda.

    The Narcissist Prayer by Dayna Craig

    That didn’t happen

    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad

    And if it was, that’s not a big deal

    And if it is, it’s not my fault

    And if it was, I didn’t mean it

    And if I did, you deserved it

    The last three months of 2024, while Biden was president, GDP was +2.4%. Biden left Trump one of the most stable and capable economies on the planet.

    Within three months, Traitor Trump has wrecked the economic prospects of all Americans and begun backsliding US growth, -0.3%.

    The fascist clown that can’t manage a bottle of water, operate an umbrella, or navigate a 10 degree ramp is gaslighting you.

    Don’t believe what conservative fascists say, watch what they do.

      operate an umbrella

      I missed that one! Are there any other examples of him failing to do basic things? There was that glass of water wasn’t there?

    Exactly how long that takes will depend on how the next couple elections go. Certainly nothing is improving while the Cheeto is in office.

        If Democrats take a majority in both houses and win the presidency they can roll back everything Trump has changed. It won’t undo the damage to foreign relations and US soft power, but at least it will stop the hemorrhaging. There’s going to be a deep hole to climb out of, but with Republicans out of the picture we can stop digging deeper.

      Lol. It’s the Republican party. They have to manufacture problems to complain about, then not solve them.

    So this administration is incompetent, blaming their many failings on Biden. Or… this administration is incompetent, incapable from preventing that wily and tenacious Biden from sneaking back in and shuffling papers around overnight

    Gonna be even more fun when all the empty trucks leaving from the empty west-coast ports I’ve been reading about for the past few days become empty shelves over the next few weeks. The real pain hasn’t even started yet.

      Exactly! However, to little too late his ravenous base will already have been spoon-fed their next scapegoat. In the words of Gandalf the Grey, “hold on to your butts.”
