"Again.... notice a pattern? Which is.......
Trump screws the pooch, then accuses Democrats of bestiality"
I make the exact same argument about inflation. Trump inherited a good economy from
Obama. Despite the fact that things were going OK, Trump had to try pouring gasoline on a fire, with his tax cuts. Unemployment was already low, and tax cuts were usually reserved as a way, along with rate cuts, to spur a stagnant or declining economy, which was not the reality of the situation in 2017. Trump primed the inflation pump with his tax cuts, and as usual they led to spiraling of the
national debt, par for the course for GOP Presidents since Reagan.
Trump's ham-fisted bungling of covid also contributed to inflation. Trump handed
out "free" money just like Biden and the Dems did. But Trump displayed about the worst possible examples of leadership while in charge. He even screwed up while providing money for Operation Lightspeed. One the one hand, it was great that he provided money for public/private ramp up of vaccines. At the same time, the numbskull is giving press conferences where he is touting hydroxychloroquine, or asking if bleach can be ingested, or pondering shooting a powerful light into covid patients. So half the Country buys into that bullshite, and the covid plague gets worse and worse. This is the mess that Trump handed off to Biden, once his attempted coup failed. So Biden deals with this Trump-shit-sandwich that's dropped in his lap by handing out "free" money. It is true, in hindsight, that Biden went too far, but it's pretty easy to figure that out after the fact, but not while in the middle of the covid crisis.
So Trump has his hands all over the inflation that hit the Country, he shares
equal responsibility with Biden over the run up in prices. And Trump 100%
owns the YTD inflation that has occurred, that's all on him and his brilliant tariff
panacea that was supposed to make America great again. And Trump and Bessent and
Lutnik stating that prices are down in 1 breath, and blaming Biden for hi prices since Trump has taken over in their next breath, is not fooling about 80% of Americans. There is still about 20% of Americans who think it's raining while Trump is pissing on them, but the other 80% or so ain't buying none of that BS.
