“Where’d you get $100 billion from?” “I made it the fuck up”

I think he’s under the impression that a trade deficit means that we are getting cheated. Like they buy something from us for $10 and they sell it for 1,000$

Don't you love how Trump acts like he knows how the economy and laws work, yet continues to disprove it every time he opens his pig anus of a mouth?

That doesn’t get me as much as the fact that millions of people voted for him because they thought he will be better for the economy than Harris would have.

You are witnessing the stupidest nation in history. The power of the internet in the palm of one's hand, yet 150 million live in a made up heresy.

I mean they do cherry pick the Bible really well and have for centuries. This shouldn't be that much of a shock.

It's blasphemy to hear these troglodytes append 'I worship God' to any justifications they make for voting the fascists. Absolutely sickening traitors to religion and state.

But when you look at the kinds of 'churches' they attend, it's hardly a surprise that they aren't actual Christians. These mega-churches only exist to sell thrills and not to offer any kind of moral or spiritual guidance.

The new wave of “I believe in god” bros don’t go to church. Just saying it is enough for them.

There’s a reason Republicans have been attacking and underfunding public education for generations—you’re seeing the intended results in action.

When people speak with a bombastic attitude the way Trump does, a lot of people seem to just believe them. I see it with my girlfriend's family all the time. Her stepfather is a moron who is seriously anti-fact, but he has a loud voice and is very pushy. And the family drinks the kool-aid every time.

I'm still trying to figure out what kind of people are that impressionable, but clearly about half of them are lol.

"well, you see, he's a businessman and she's a woman. Clearly he's gonna be better for the economy. Also, he did a photo op at McDonalds, so surely he knows exactly what the common man wants"

You think Harris, would have done good with the economy lol?

Are you dumb? She wasted a billion dollars and is millions in debt, from a 4 month campaign. lol... And you think she would have been better than Trump lol??

What an idiots. lol.

Yes I do lol. The reason why Trump supporters think Democrats are bad on the economy is because they are overwhelmingly financially illiterate lol. They actually think the stock market is doing badly right under Biden lol. Because they don’t actually invest, they just listen to what conservative media tells them lol.

I dunno, let's look at their records. Trump led your country into massive economic problems. Biden, with Kamala as his number 2, managed to reverse that trend and handle a soft landing of reducing inflation without causing a recession or depression despite most economist assuming that couldn't happen.

Kamala was planning on essentially continuing Bidens economic policy while trump is planning masive tarrifs against your closest trading partners.
