LUTNICK: So, the economy that Donald Trump owns starts at the end of this year.



Aaron Rupar @atrupar

AXIOS: Inflation in August ticking up to the highest since 2021. Manufacturing activity shrank six months running. Unemployed workers exceeding job openings. If Biden had numbers like that, you'd be on Fox saying, 'What's going on'?

They're assigning the entire year to Biden even though he had control over only 20 days? Funny, Trump tried to take credit for all of 2017, and none of 2020.

Imagine how powerful and alpha Biden must be to still be in control of the economy. No wonder Trump keeps deploying the national guard. He's compensating for his economic helplessness.
