That didn't happen
And if it did, it wasn't that bad
And if it was, that's not a big deal
And if it is, it's not my fault
And if it was, I didn't mean it
And if I did, you deserved it
It’s funny how whenever a Democrat inherits a shit economy they have to be blamed for it on day one yet now we’re crowing the opposite because the party of feels not reals demands it
- It's not even an exaggeration, this happens literally every time. It's unreal that it still works as well as it does.
  
  It’s because the media is complicit. They enable the discourse to be so lopsided. Propaganda.
- Every Democrat since Nixon has inherited a TERRIBLE Republican economy, and has had to enter office with an immediate, emergency economic stumulus program. Biden not only had to fix the economy when he took office, he also had to launch a Covid vaccination program. Both were extremely successful, and the only problems with either one was solely because of Republican interference/ propaganda.
- operate an umbrella
  I missed that one! Are there any other examples of him failing to do basic things? There was that glass of water wasn't there?
Exactly how long that takes will depend on how the next couple elections go. Certainly nothing is improving while the Cheeto is in office.
- I appreciate the “s” on “elections”, but “couple” feels extremely optimistic to me.
  
  Even Russia has elections, they're rigged to high hell.
  
  If Democrats take a majority in both houses and win the presidency they can roll back everything Trump has changed. It won't undo the damage to foreign relations and US soft power, but at least it will stop the hemorrhaging. There's going to be a deep hole to climb out of, but with Republicans out of the picture we can stop digging deeper.
- That's cute to think elections can stop this.
It can't be that tariff's are destroying the economy. /s
I mean, Hiroshima came back after we decimated it, so yeah, I guess we'll have growth again someday.
Overhang? More real estate terms...I should start keeping a list
Dude is regressing so fast it's crazy
- One of the later signs of dementia is a belief that one is in a younger age. Where older, stronger memory connections hang on after more recently formed ones have been lost.
  
  Yup, regression
So this administration is incompetent, blaming their many failings on Biden. Or… this administration is incompetent, incapable from preventing that wily and tenacious Biden from sneaking back in and shuffling papers around overnight
10 to 20 years. Thanks Mr orange man! What was the problem that needed this solution?
- Lol. It's the Republican party. They have to manufacture problems to complain about, then not solve them.
Gonna be even more fun when all the empty trucks leaving from the empty west-coast ports I've been reading about for the past few days become empty shelves over the next few weeks. The real pain hasn't even started yet.
- Exactly! However, to little too late his ravenous base will already have been spoon-fed their next scapegoat. In the words of Gandalf the Grey, "hold on to your butts."
"Infrastructure week is coming next week."
“It will take a while“ sure it will take a while after Trump is out of office. Whoever comes after him will undo all the terrible things thathe has done, and then the economy will start to recover.
- Ratchet politics. Repubs make everything shittier. Dems crank it back just enough to keep the guillotines at bay. And time marches on.
Yes, growth will take a while now that you've crippled our global trade, severely hindering our access to necessary materials
- And alienated our allies!
  
  Yes, that was part of the access to materials I mentioned.
The Party of personal responsibility.
- The buck stops with the previous guy.
Lmao
📉🔻
The buck stops anywhere else.
Same thing he said to Melania
Aside from the par-for-the-course blame shifting, surely he means "hangover"?
- If you told me he sees Biden floating over him all the time like a ghost of Christmas past, Id believe it
