    Just why anyone thinks any Republican is “guuud at 'conomy” is mind-boggling.

    And that’s even before donvict started up with his bullshit tariffs (again).

    I have to assume that headline is written to be palatable to Trumper clicks or something.

    Looked unbeatable on the economy? And I’m supposed to take the author seriously as an educated adult human who professionally writes words about important things? As far as I could gather from a glance at the article, him being “unbeatable” was that he promised to magically fix all economic woes and people believed him. Again. So that makes it a strong issue for the GOP if you are dead inside and trying to write the news like everything is normal.

    Whenever did he look “unbeatable” on the economy? This guy bankrupted casinos. He is the hallmark of economic incompetence.

      He just bitched about the Biden economy over and over. He had no ideas or policies, just empty promises that he, “wouldn’t have let this happen.”

        And the fucking stupidest thing of all?

        Under Biden, we had an economy that was the envy of the world. These knuckledraggers voted for dumbfuck donnie anyway.

    He was always horrible for the economy. Name one fucking good thing he’s done for the economy as a whole, and not just a handful of rich dick beaters

    He started a trade war? You mean the thing he said he was going to do on the campaign trail, over and over again? So why would anyone think he would ever be good for the economy!?

    That should say ‘another trade war.’ He did the same shit last time he was in office as anyone who has better memory that a goldfish should remember. Trump only looked unbeatable on the economy because the billionaires who own all the major, and most of the minor, media outlets wanted him to look that way so they could get more undeserved tax cuts.

    I have to admit, if Trump changed opinions about him via destroying the economy, I have yet to see it. All the dipshits in my world are crowing about how they had been preparing for this for decades.

    He never looked unbeatable this was the expected outcome of him winning according to any economist with a brain. Why is everything so much stupider than I imagined when i was a kid. Holy fuck.

      Republicans gutting education and launching a massive propaganda campaign to convince people that being stupid is awesome, mostly.
