Data doesn’t support repeated claims by the White House of an economic boom in the US under President Trump.

    I mean, I’m surprised our economy hasn’t crumbled, so it’s not technically untrue

      It’s being stretched like a rubber band. When it snaps, it will be spectacular.

    Data shows that the Epstein list still hasn’t been released.

    It definitely shattered my expectations, and they were low to begin with

      Yeah this isn’t his best boast. After we saw the stock market tanking insanely I was shocked to see it resemble normal growth for a time. Wrecking the economy with moronic tariffs and then restoring it briefly by backing off isn’t something you can brag about

    I mean. It did. Just not in a positive direction. I was expecting their economic and fiscal policies to have catastrophic implications, but even I’m impressed by how jaw-droppingly idiotic they’re being, and how quickly everything is starting to come unraveled.

      You can negatively “shatter expectations”

        We usually use the word “disappointing” but a competent writer can put a positive spin on anything.

        Trump fell into his current position of power simply because of his ability to effortlessly frame the fall of the US Empire as putting America first. While in reality, it’s all just a distraction to cover for billionaires hoarding more and more wealth while the rest of us continue to struggle more and more.

    Clearly, he’s talking about the expectations he had for himself vs going to jail. I’m just as surprised.

    It did shatter expectations. It’s supposed to be good, but it’s crap.

    Love to say it, even hard core republicans I know are regretting voting for the orange clown. Just yesterday one of them told me that. Trump’s reality distortion field is starting to fail.

    Well, if he expected a total Crash and instead got only mild recession, it still “shatters expectations”

    I expect all his policy to be shit. So when it’s always shit I’m never surprised. Because he is a grifting carpetbagging sack of flaming shit. A tragic waste of functioning organs. The world’s most notorious oxygen thief. Also he is a fucking moron. If there was a photo negative of Mensa where stupid motherfuckers competed to see who the dumbest motherfucker of all the dumb motherfuckers was, he’d be it’s lifetime appointed leader.
