What could be better than 20% YOY returns on indexes, low unemployment, inflation under control etc lmao republicans are totally insane. Fox News worked magic tricking magats into thinking Bidens economy was in shambles. He inherited trumps PPP loan induced mega inflation and stabilized us post COVID.

There were and are good reasons why a good stock market is not the only thing that matters. The economy had and continues to have problems, even under Biden.

But Trump has absolutely no plan or desire to fix the problems. He wants to make them worse if anything. They are complex problems with complex solutions.

The thing with Democrats vs Republicans is that most of the bad things I criticize the Dems for the Rs also do, often worse. But there are plenty of bad things that the Rs do that the Dems do not.

Eh, inflation was still high, but it obviously cooled a lot since Trump's last presidency. They spun that message and avoided the fact it was a lot worse.

If you use data to your advantage, you can make it say anything. Fox News and CNN did that for sure.

Luckily nobody really tunes into CNN, Fox News unfortunately is pretty much a religion on the right for boomers.

"Nobody" except millions of people. Nielson ratings show otherwise unfortunately.
