Trump inherited a very healthy economy from Biden. The giant shitstorm that he has created is to blame for everything negative.
It's so extremely moronic that people voted for Trump because they thought he would fix inflation. 🙄

Thank you! I was saying this back in 2022 when we had "record inflation" but also "record profits." That became too obvious to consumers so we had shrinkflation instead. But still the record profits.
Corps knew the average voter is dumb and used those prices to tank Harris' campaign all because she had the gall to suggest a wealth tax, something they had snuffed out Biden's chances with. Even if the president has no control over prices, people believe they do. It was over for this country the moment we got the Citizen United ruling. Things were being setup to make it easier to get, but that ruling allowed unmitigated greed to influence politics. Been a growing pool of unfathomable wealth and the leverage of that wealth since.

People act based on emotions, specifically feeling like they're part of the in-group. You know the old saying "Would you jump off a bridge if your friends all were jumping, too?" Well, the answer is clearly yes. Most people are stupid like that.
I mean, we all are sometimes. It's impossible to know and verify everything so we trust our friends. But for some people it's reached a toxic level of "vaccines are bad" and "banning books is good"
joe rogan/shapiro/j peterson/tate/etc all had ahand in turning men/incels into rabid trump supporters. i know someone that was turned just this election as a trump supporters because he binges on UFC/ by extension alot of joe roegan podcasts.
Trump inherited a very healthy economy from Biden
:-/ He inherited a big stock number from Biden.
But the US economy has been losing steam since the turn of the century. First Enron/Worldcomm, then the Great Recession, then COVID... critical components of the industrial and service sector in the US have been falling apart for decades. Energy, housing, health care, manufacturing, education, agriculture, technology, news media... we've been watching them consolidate ownership and corrode in quality well before Trump or Biden.
It’s so extremely moronic that people voted for Trump
They've been brain blasted with stupid by mass media that's screamed fascist ideology every year of their lives. Trump is a symptom of a public that's been told to venerate wealth and celebrity. Democrats nominating an invalid who dropped out after the first debate certainly didn't help, either.
It's extremely moronic that the election system has been fully captured by crooks and frauds. But the only response ever seems to be "You should have voted for the other guy."
Goddammit I'm tired of people equating the stock market, or even gdp with 'the economy'.

"Take all credit. Deny all responsibility"
Privatize the good news. Socialize the bad news.
~ Carl Markets, 1984
Pretty sure Uncle Ben said “with great power comes no responsibility, blame the democrats”
Wait, there's a good part to the economy? 🤔
I bet the golden bidet business is booming

I’m just saying [children] don’t need to have 30 dolls, they can have three, they don’t need to have 250 pencils, they can have five,” he added
This guy is so out of touch
The only people I can think of that buy 250 pencils at once are teachers.
So much for "capitalism better because material wealth communism one toothbrush" etc etc..
Funny how things turned out

"A good leader must be willing to take the credit when things go good and the blame when they go bad"- Grandma Longneck, The Land Before Time 7 (yes there are more than 7 Land Before Time movies)
Aren't there like 12 of those things?
The 14 films were released as a Complete Collection DVD set later on June 14, 2016.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Land_Before_Time
There was also a season of a TV show, 5 albums and 14 video games.
Just in case anybody has an hour to spare, this is a YouTube video summarising all 14 parts. I have no idea why I watched this, tbh. I never even heared of the damn movies. I guess sometime it's three a clock and these things just happen.

We always knew this was his 'thought' process. It's been interesting seeing how his now apparently unfettered power has him just saying all of the abhorrent shit he really thinks out loud more than ever, though.
i felt like he has no train of thoughts, he just have one thought and forget wha tit was, moves on to the next, and then reconnect in a non-sensible way.

“I’m just saying [children] don’t need to have 30 dolls, they can have three, they don’t need to have 250 pencils, they can have five,” Trump said.
Before it was 2 dolls instead of 30, or a 93% reduction.
Now it's 5 pencils instead of 250, or a 98% reduction.
But more broadly, if I were Trump, I don't think that I'd be focusing public attention on standard-of-living reductions among American children.
A man that literally shits on a golden toilet lecturing people about austerity is peak irony, though.
Apparently the toilet thing isn't true, came from a picture of some jeweler's bathroom.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trumps-golden-toilet/
Snopes does say that he has "gold-plated sink fixtures in one bathroom on his private jet", though.
EDIT: And that jet, ignoring the furnishings, is something like 30 times the price of the jeweler's bathroom with the gold toilet.

This whole blame your predecessor for everything is just a privilege of the office. The problem is that you can't keep it up for long and the real pain from his policies are weeks and months away.
"Prepare three envelopes..."
His bullshitting is getting so lazy.
Trusting this guy must be a pretty wild trip.
