It's also true that MAGA wrecked our economy from 2016-2020

I hope you're not basing this off of the stock market because it was the exact opposite.

The stock market is not an accurate reflection or proxy for the economy as a whole.

All time highs don’t matter if a significant and growing percentage of the population can’t afford basic necessities of life.

The HN bubble is disproportionately impacted positively when the markets are high.

He spent like crazy to pump the market, it collapsed soon after he was out of office. Dems have fixed it like always and we're at all time highs again.

yeah im perplexed with anti-trump people state sweeping facts that are easily disproven in 5 seconds of searching

idk what you mean. trump wrecked the economy with spending. he created the largest deficit in history and doubled the debt. this caused an inflationary bubble that popped and has been repaired since. now he's back to borrow more money and double the debt again

what powers does the president have to create a deficit? what specifically did he do that doubled the debt?

i ask this rhetorically, because of course the president doesn't have these powers.

i'm not defending trump, i wish he didn't win, i just think hyperbole is contributing to people wanting to support him, because people feel lied to constantly

every single bill and order he put his name on. he literally sent checks to each citizen with his endorsement. he signed off on all the spending again to reiterate. it's all on him, especially the fraud ppp loans.

you mean the checks that both parties voted unanimously for, and the act that allowed for PPP and was also voted for unanimously, is only trump's fault? we're pinning that on him when literally every single person in the senate voted for it?

can you see why this rhetoric is tiring?

he's still bragging about the tax cuts that cost a lot. he could have negotiated or not signed the bills and orders. they did increase debt big league.

He also plans to end social security and medicaire which most seniors rely on. That's terrifying and why I've already donated to charity today.
