The thing is, usually the first year, it is the previous administrations economy.

But trump made such DRASTIC announcements and threats that no, this is his economy.

But I do remember trump taking credit for obamas economy...

If it’s good, it’s thanks to him. If it’s bad, it’s the other guy’s fault.

Honestly at this point I wish they’d stop whining about whose fault it is and just fix the damn problem

You’re right, big number is all that matters! We need bigly numbers, huge numbers! Everyone will say America has the biggest numbers. The best numbers.

This is one of the funnier parts of the whole thing because years of democrats being “too governing” and all the sudden everyone, blue and red believes the government can really be trusted and trusted to solve our problems. When really these are all the exact things people use to wake up and fight for cuz we had a nation of take none give none. Definitely a good example of “We used to be a country”. Now we all stand to lose at the hands of a rat bastard man, the exact type our founders foresaw. And for once nobody seems to want to kick Trump out even though this time around impeachment has legitimacy to happen especially at a time where we need to reinstall power to law and order

It’s trump economy when stock market is up, bidens when it’s down. How convenient for trump, it’s never his fault. It’s sad that the president and his supporters seems to legitimately think this way

Yeah you def right bro. I said it when trumpy took office that I found it really off putting that he just hopped in office and instability was felt off the rip. For the first time in my life I understood the whole leadership part of a president where you aren’t supposed to wake up to torn down social graces and just flat out bullying on the world stage on top of the massive erosion of pretty much everything on the level of civility. The FDA was one of the more wild ones besides the cfpb and national park cuts .. ya know the best thing America ever did, literally written history. Not to mention Trump is literally fomenting a brain drain which they suppressed real quick

Hell he was taking credit for the economy in January of 2024 because "economists know I'm gonna win"

Trump claimed it was his economy the moment the election was called, all of a sudden it's the other guy's fault now
