Just a few months into this term, I had a conversation with a magamushbrain that was telling me that Taco was hopefully going to “fix” the terrible economy we had under Biden. I mean, what the actual fuck. To hear him tell it, we just came out of a situation where we had gas rationing and staglation or the Great Depression or something, vs. what I could see with my own eyes, which is that virtually every economic indicator was good or heading in the right direction.
This conversation was happening nearly at the exact same time that the markets were in freefall because of the toddler-in-chief’s screaming about how much he was going to tariff every single thing, by the way.
Tbf, market indicators don’t mean shit to people with stagnant wages who have seen 20% inflation over 5 years. Of course, that doesn’t mean that Trump is going to fix anything but it’s hard to blame stupid people for not noticing those indicators when they are specifically designed to exclude the average person’s financial situation.
Without question.
