    He was always horrible for the economy. Name one fucking good thing he’s done for the economy as a whole, and not just a handful of rich dick beaters

    He never looked unbeatable. The US news refused to do any due diligence on his plans. Literally every major economist (or something like that) endorsed Harris.

    Once again, the news media refuses to take responsibility for the fucking mess they helped create.

    He started a trade war? You mean the thing he said he was going to do on the campaign trail, over and over again? So why would anyone think he would ever be good for the economy!?

    Whenever did he look “unbeatable” on the economy? This guy bankrupted casinos. He is the hallmark of economic incompetence.

      He just bitched about the Biden economy over and over. He had no ideas or policies, just empty promises that he, “wouldn’t have let this happen.”

        We have a guy in Canada whose entire platform is “current guy sucks”.

        He barely lost this latest election, so it’s got to play well with some voters. George Carlin was right about averages.

      He had the illusion of being unbeatable to his followers, all of us who read and actually critically think know he is just the worlds best conman.

    Hasn’t every republican been worse for the economy since like Nixon? Why do people think Republicans are so good?

      Class solidarity of the top 10%. They own the media, they want the Republican agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and whatever else make them more individually wealthy.

      It’s bottom ~70% who can’t seem to figure out what class solidarity is

    Did Trump actually have any concrete plans for the economy or did he just look “unbeatable” because he said “I’ll make eggs cheap and great again! Very bigly!” jerks off two dicks

    I mean, I guess that’s an unbeatable platform if you’re a nation of illiterate bigots that swap reason for blind fanaticism.

      He did not have any concrete plans for the economy. And, in fact, Harris pointed this out at pretty much every opportunity.

    That should say ‘another trade war.’ He did the same shit last time he was in office as anyone who has better memory that a goldfish should remember. Trump only looked unbeatable on the economy because the billionaires who own all the major, and most of the minor, media outlets wanted him to look that way so they could get more undeserved tax cuts.

    I have to admit, if Trump changed opinions about him via destroying the economy, I have yet to see it. All the dipshits in my world are crowing about how they had been preparing for this for decades.

    He never looked unbeatable this was the expected outcome of him winning according to any economist with a brain. Why is everything so much stupider than I imagined when i was a kid. Holy fuck.
