Trump's 'very bad' economy destroyed Biden's 'robust and growing' trend: expert

IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID. Or at least that's what all the "price of eggers" who bought into Republican spin continually cried during Biden's Presidency, in spite of indicators to the contrary.

Enter Trump....

I've posted four paragraphs from the article below, but it goes on to enumerate all the ways Trump's economy is failing and getting WORSE,

including: an increase in food prices, rising inflation, ebbing job growth, with monthly job creation "fading since Trump took office,"

a serious slowdown in consumer spending, and rising farm bankruptcies.

The article also notes how Biden took Trump's first failed economy, bringing it from RUIN, only for the would be king to fk it up all over AGAIN.

It remains to be seen, however, whether all of this will be repeatedly reported with the same doggedness with which they pursued Biden.

Trump’s 'very bad' economy destroyed Biden’s 'robust and growing' trend: expert - Alternet

Los Angeles Times Pulitzer Prize-winning business journalist Michael Hiltzik writes that ... Donald Trump has reversed the trend of President Joe Biden's booming economy and it's only getting worse.

"The lesson delivered by the results is that Americans sense that the economy is reeling," he writes. "Most economic indicators are flashing yellow or even red."

"It’s proper to note that the economy Trump inherited from Biden was strong and getting stronger," Hilzik says.

As the historic government shutdown continues, "headwinds threaten to keep building" against the economy, one which was thriving under Biden, he says.

Trump set out to destroy the economy and our democracy and he’s doing a fine job. But even if that was not his intent, his sheer incompetence would have led us to where we are now. I am completely baffled how the Republican Party and the media managed to spin Biden’s thriving economy into an economic disaster from which we needed a superior intellect like Trump to rescue us. Anyone who didn’t see this coming is blind. There are plenty of traitors to go around here.
