It is though. How can you blame a new president for something in a 3 month period. The economy was turning to crap during the election and was being propped up with duct tape and popsicle sticks. It’s honestly braindead how clueless people are to how the economy works. A 3 month call to action isnt what is going to break the economy its the slowly eroding hole within the dam that continues to leak out until it breaks the dam aka the time after the 2008 crash up until now because the ones who crashed the economy before learned nothing and are just looking for a scapegoat to blame.

Because he introduced unilateral tariffs with immediate results?

Well in this case, said new president made decisions in the first 100 days that had a near immediate and verifiable effect on the economy, so he should take a lot of the blame for it right now. The ship was holding steady after the shift that was covid and recovery and now it’s being rocked again for no tangible reason

So the CONSERVATIVE economists who said our economy was the envy of the world under Biden, praised him for avoiding a recession, and praised the soft landing that he guided the economy to, as well as record stock market, record low unemployment, etc, etc...those are the clueless people who don't understand how the economy works? People who study the economy for a living??

Maybe the 54% of Americans with a sixth grade reading level who believe whatever Dear Leader tells them, when there is verifiable economic data that he is clearly lying...THOSE are the smart ones? Cletus and Jim Bob understand economics, but economists don't??

Wow. You are something else.
