@ToniMcC85143997@DemocraticWins No a slap to her husband would be to endorse anyone who supports this current administration, especially after the things Trump said about McCain. Trump and his administration are not republicans, they may have ran under the banner, but they are the far right.
@TAftermath2020@THR Is that why they were paying people on Craigslist to go see the movie and inflate the number? Not to mention you morons buying multiple tickets to make it seem more popular.
@realDonaldTrump so gas prices jumped up .40 in the last week. Do we start blaming you now or is this when you all start saying Presidents don’t control gas prices?
@mary_v80001@zigadabooga@sabback@allenanalysis YOU VOTED FOR A FELON who is openly violating the Constitution and allowing a government funded terrorist organization to violate it further. You have no place to speak on law and order. Get fucked you absolute waste of oxygen.
@SpeakerJohnson Fuck you. You haven’t fixed shit but hey look another murder on your hands. Hope you feel good about that vote. You are your entire party can get fucked you unamerican traitors. History may remember you all but not for the reasons you hoped.
@RepDonDavis Look another shitty statement from yet another spineless coward. Fuck everyone who ICE has been targeting let’s give them even more money. This bill could have and should have been passed without the extra funding to them and you know it. Just too afraid to stand up.
@RepCuellar How convenient your little statement leaves out the money you signed over to ICE thugs you spineless coward. Another one turning your back on your people. You had a chance to do what was right for your state and the country but decided to bend the knee.
@RepGolden Spineless coward. Hey everyone don’t be mean to the Gestapo thugs, I’m just going to give them more of your money cause I’m a little bitch who doesn’t give a shit about the people.
@RepMGP I was unaware that more money for ICE thugs was the most effective, durable, and responsible way to spend our tax dollars. Another spineless coward who can’t stand up for her people. Great job on making America worse.
@RepGonzalez Spineless Coward. You sold out your people and come and post some BS to try and excuse yourself. You didn’t even give a second thought to this choice and when this situation gets worse, it will be on your hands. Work to fix your state not harm it.
This revisionist horseshit needs More than one post to address...
The Republican party claims often and loudly that the Biden administration was solely responsible for the economic problems we faced during the pandemic and beyond.
But it is far more nuanced than this and simply not the case. Sadly, MAGA isn't all that partial towards nuance.
Let's start with the fact that a financial crisis emerged towards the end of the last two (three?) Republican administrations. A Democrat was elected in the aftermath of these disasters and became responsible for overseeing an economic recovery.
Republicans chose to respond by concentrating most of their energy on non-governing, on partisan and performative blame games. They obstructed the Democratic party's legislative efforts while escalating their culture wars and dividing Americans during a time of financial crisis.
Unfortunately, it was very effective. In the run up to the 2024 election, a large swath of the electorate believed that Republicans—and Trump specifically—were "better for the economy." But they were mistaken, especially accounting for Trump's abysmal ratings on his handling of the economy; an issue he primarily campaigned on.
Trump's approval ratings have been consistently underwater because he hasn't addressed the immediate problems that Americans face in any sort of fundamental way.
Nevertheless, Trump supporters continue to blame Joe Biden and Democrats for inflation; ignoring the unforeseen circumstances and all of the contingent economic factors that contributed to an unavoidable, global economic disaster.
The pandemic impacted the world economy, Incumbent parties lost support for their candidates, and government spending increased globally.
Voters simply didn't know or care to hear that under Biden, the US saw one of the strongest and fastest economic recoveries in the world—so much so that it became the envy of other nations.
But Trump said the word "groceries" repeatedly and convinced enough low informed voters that he could fix everything on "day one."
Trump managed to win by demagoguing these issues and on this type of bad faith messaging; inheriting a growing economy for the *second* time, and an economy that Trump helped destabilize within his first 100 days in office thanks to his disastrous tariff and trade policies.
Policies that have led to higher prices for American consumers, volatile supply and demand fluctuations, trade wars and retaliation from trade partners, slowed job growth, multi year lows for consumer spending and investments, significant inventory drawdowns, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, stock market volatility, among other things, and all while he continues to escalate economic and diplomatic tensions between the US, its allies, trade partners and foreign competitors.
Trump's "big beautiful bill" also amounts to a massive redistribution of wealth, spends needlessly on national security, and explodes the debt and deficit, all while his cuts to healthcare and food assistance don't even begin to remotely offset the costs of his policies.
As to why voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, whether they acknowledge these things are not: see next reply...
