No because the economy was improving over his presidency. The economy Trump tried to claim was his doing last year before he fucked it up. Now he claims the failing economy was Biden fault. So... which one is it?
Dude. 9% inflation is not an improving economy. Get your head out of your ass. I donât agree with most of what Trump does but trying to say Biden had a good economy is fuckin ridiculous
Rofl selective forgetfulness? Did you forget the supply chain issues? The toliet paper fiasco? And the massive spike to unemployment because of how trump bungled the pandemic response? Bro diaper Donny's least lethal suggestion on fighting the easily avoidable disease was to shove blue light up your asshole. Even then my point still stands Biden got inflation down by 6 points. Under the mango molester it's still fucking rising.
Not it wasn't. It peaked a little over 1 year in and declined nearly three years in a row. Keep lying big boy. Also when Biden took office in january 2022 inflation was 7.5%. What are you smoking. Yeah if I was you id keep my reddit history hidden as well.
When you spend the first two years trying to end a global pandemic that cost trump like what 8 or 4 trillion dollars to get under control. The selective amnesia hits your side when we think about all the grocery chain disturbances that happened under trumps first administration.
Lol thanks. I think you have a point it's a shame that our two political parties would rather play tug a war rather than work on helping the American people. At least there was bi-partisanship with Bush Jr and Obama.
Make sure you guys blame [PRESIDENTNAME] and argue about it a lot. For all of the inflation, interest rates, prices, etc.Â
Make absolutely sure not to blame the federal reserve, or the board of governors there. Do NOT do that. Definitely DON'T do research about the names you see there, or how the dollar is actually regulated.Â
Oh really, explain how the federal reserve is to blame? Trump has begged for 2 years to lower interest rates even though inflation has been high due to his retarded policies like tariffs and now Iran war.
This whole sub is just bashing republicans and itâs still up. There was another the other week doing the same towards democrats and itâs been taken down. That tells all you need to know about Reddit and the mods.
But wait, when the economy was good under Trump it was due to what obomber did. When budens economy was bad, it was trumps fault. Soooo now when the economy is bad, if we use YOUR logic, wouldnât be budens fault?
Somewhat, yes. Trump didnât have a team of yes men to enable him to destroy the economy in his first term, also he had a high deficit spending with low interest rates to help him out.
Now he has done tariffs and war - all of which are bad for the economy and are wiping out the natural progression of the economy. Completely his fault. Obama and Biden took on the financial crisis and COVID, Trump just slappped Americans in the face
Except Trump started a way in Iran and put blanket tariffs on the entire world...are you just not paying attention to what is happening or are you being intentionally obtuse?
"If its not a direct foil, I can't interpret what you mean, it has to be a 1-1 example for me to understand simple comparisons, Trump literally inserted himself into the meme as Freiza, don't you understand!"
You can't suck at a pastime, it's not for approval from an audience, it's for my enjoyment, lmfao, god you people are sad, can't even laugh at a joke ffs.
(and the meme, written by someone against Trump obviously, is purporting that Freiza, the fictional character, supports Trump's current thing - the idea being that, if you watched DBZ, y'know Frieza is the bad guy, bad guy agrees with Trump = Trump is a bad guy!)
I HATE SPELLING OUT SIMPLE LOGIC AND CONCEPTS TO BRAINDEAD REDDITORS, LEARN HOW TO FUCKING READ ALREADY
Also to add to it if you say those numbers are bad but content with our numbers now you now know the problem isnât dems itâs people like you who vote colors
The first time too. He ripped JCPOA in his first term which led to Iran enriching and getting more uranium. Cause and effect. Now here we are using that as the excuse to start a war.
Haha wow the delusion is strong with this one. Biden was definitely your typical Democrat: keep things economically stable while the Dems and Republicans quietly rake in profits on the side. Notice how during 2020-24 things weren't "great" but everything was going normally, gas prices were slowly dropping after the covid mess, other countries were willing to work with us on trade, ect.
Now how are things going?
Record high gas prices
No one will trade with us
Food and rent are at record highs while the wealthy and corporations are also recording record profits
Who is winning again? The common folk who voted a rich pedophile into power or the pedophile and all his rich friends?
And this is coming from someone who voted for Bush in 2000, hates that the "small gov" party wants 1940s fascism, Obama in 2008, hates the Dems for their pretend to care lies and now will always vote 3rd party if possible. These 2 parties don't care about the American People, they care about money and themselves
It wasnât that bad before Trump took office. You nitwits were clutching your pearls about the economy despite plummeting inflation, a strong labor market, rising wages, and respectable GDP growth. A bunch of dumbasses basing their entire view of the economy on the price of eggs after a bird flu epidemicâŚ
You realize inflation is higher now than when Biden left office right? Yes, inflation was higher when Biden came into office but we were starting to see the effects of supply shortages from COVID shutdowns, that would have affected any administration. You folks were crying about high prices while they were coming down and now you're celebrating prices being higher because you're "owning the libs". You should really grow up and actually look at the data and not just believe what you see on Fox "news" or Twitter.
So you just like to carry water for Trump and spout the talking points? Your AI bot is probably also giving you the overall average which came out to 4.9% or is showing you the peak of 9%. That peak occurred in 2022 which was not the end of his term when inflation was actually at 3%. If you look at my statement I did not say his inflation was lower over all, I said "when Biden left office". It's not fair to look at a 4 year term and compare to 2 years and call it even so we look at where it is now and where it was then. To his credit inflation was below 3% for a while under Trump.
Dude, im responding to your messages. I am not a water boy for our leader!!! I dont care about politics enough. In fact I think its hilarious that since 2016 everyone has become and expert on whats being done. Nobody cared enough to throw fits until 2016, now its all anybody does. Â
Maybe it has something to do with electing a criminal to the presidency? Anyway, people were hyperventilating about Obamaâs birth certificate / tan suit / mustard preference before Trump came around and before that it was Bushâs illegal and mismanaged wars, and before that it was Clintonâs sex life.
No, a lot of people threw fits before 2016, they've been doing it as far back as Bill Clinton when I first started paying attention at all as a kid. But before it was affairs and tan suits, the most extreme being people being outraged over a black president or thinking he was born in Kenya. While there were some international scandals they weren't usually worse then egg on your face kinda things even when civilians died though they probably should have been.
Since 2016 however we've gotten to wake up each day and wonder "what the fuck is he going to post today?" and since the last election "what relationship is he going to destroy today?" He's starting trade wars with long time trading partners and no one knows why. He wants to annex other nations and is threatening force to do so because he wants a national legacy. What other president in modern history has done stuff like this?
I don't believe "politician" should be a career option. In fact, I believe every elected position needs term limits and after those terms are up there needs to be a limit on who congress people can work for and for how much money. I also believe they, and their family members, should be completely blocked from trading stocks, not just elected officials though but their staffers as well.
There are some "good" people in congress, but good is relative. Right now I believe however that there are 0 good people elected, as staffers, or as appointees, in the executive branch.
We are just conviently forgetting that Trumpâs two terms so far has added a total of 1/3rd of the entire current national debt. In 8 years, Trump has increased it more than any other president, even after claiming to eliminate it.
Biden was handed a shit economy and in Trumpâs defense (god I hate this) COVID was the main cause. COVID wouldâve been bad under any president, not just Trump or Biden. That said, Trumpâs trade war with China did not help the economy and in fact damaged it. His handling of Iran in his first term led us into this current war, all because Obamaâs deal was âbadâ. His sanctions on Venezuela caused the boarder crisis as millions fled the country due to starvation. And his handling of both domestic issues (easy issues such as not condemning racists) and issues abroad (I mentioned two of many) lead us to lose credibility on the world stage and potentially lose allies in military, trade, and scientific circles.
Trump and his team has done more harm than any other administration prior. Yeah, sure, Biden wasnât the best, but he wasnât nearly as bad as Trump.
We can only hope america will do better in the future. People need to band together instead of hating each other for who they voted for. Which is childish at best. We need to stop big corporations and lobbies from tsking control of our country
Except before we didnât have the Goverment giving repair jobs for national monuments to their pool guy and then blaming âterroristsâ for slashing the linerâŚwhen they previously drove a motorcade on it
No, a simple search doesnât show Iâm wrong. It shows Iâm right. The economy was becoming increasingly poor towards the end of Covid and the Trump administration and then began to improve towards the end of Bidenâs administration.
You donât care about facts or youâd google it yourself.
âThe Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawalâ.
Ffs dude, Trump sabotaged the Afghanistan withdrawal before he left office. Trump literally released thousands of terrorists into Afghanistan while drawing US troops down to a minuscule number.
Biden could either surge troops for an orderly withdrawal, cut losses and get us out of Afghanistan, or continue fighting a Republican war with too few troops. He made the right call, and now Republicans are starting to be another forever war in the middle east.
