Trump was laughed at, repeatedly, on the international stage. He empowered multiple evil world leaders. His big accomplishments included withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Accord, LA winning the 2028 summer olympics, and building some of The Wall. He lied repeatedly, mocked women and the disabled, gave pardons to his buddies, hired his kids in govt, and funneled an extra large shit-ton of our tax-dollars to his hotels and clubs for his security.

and, up until the china fungus, navigated us through maybe our greatest economy ever.

he is a jerk for sure. and i never want to see him anywhere near the WH ever again. but he gave us a great economy. my 401k was rockin.

Trump did everything that could be done to fuck up the economy.

We are, right now, tilling through his wasted crops

The fact that people believe the President controls the economy (and gas prices) is just proof of how awful the American education system is. So astonishingly stupid.


Trump easily the worst President in history but Reagan is not far behind.

at the earliest (and this is being generous), an administration’s economic policies aren’t felt until 18 months to two years after they’re enacted

similarly, the effects of an administration (good or bad) don’t immediately stop when the torch passes

what sets uncle joe apart from the field is that the folks can't afford to fill up the tank and refrigerator on his watch.

arguing who is worse between dt and uncle joe is like arguing what tastes worse, dirt or sand.

I wanted to give Trump some credit for appointing so many judges (no, not the SCOTUS, the lower courts that desperately needed filled), but I know that that really wasn't Trump's doing either. Mitch McConnell teed that up for Trump to "accomplish" too.

Sand is definitely worse. What is wrong with dirt? I live off of dirt.

513 days. I purposely looked up the number of days that uncle joe has been in office so that you could consider your metrics and really think if you can contribute your score to the person leading the executive branch now or not. It depends.

Like which one gets the dis-credit for Putin's war? Or is it a wash?

Let’s see. Trump started an economic “war” with China.
Does it feel like we are winning that?

I've asked you at least three times to name a policy that Uncle Joe put into place that caused gas prices to rise. So far, nuttin. You're just making yourself look dumber.

Biden has been too.

I think Biden has been pretty average but one of the things he has done right is repair the American image.

Sorry, but "being better than Trump" isn't my bar of acceptability.

Agreed. Obviously some exceptions on the time to impact. Some executive orders can make small impacts, but the ding dongs who think “my 401k is up, the guy in the big chair must be doing a good job” are just so impressively stupid.

Remember when Biden took credit for the stock market being so great due to him being in office? I do. When you do that, then you get to endure the smart ass comments when it goes to shit on your watch. Regardless of how much impact you're actually having.

Biden sent out what I considered as a largely unneeded final stimulus payment. That has absolutely impacted inflation and the economy. He gets some blame for that. He could have decided to do a more targeted stimulus for those that actually needed it.

So, where in your grand knowledge of world economics would you rank throttling Chinese exports as a contributing factor to our economic woes?

i agree, and would even border on a below-average rating

my post was more to point out (yet again) someone’s lack of reading comprehension
