Normally I would give six months to a year before thinking it's Trump's economy,

Screw it. They were claiming credit for the decent economy two months before Trump took office.

They claimed it.

Then they broke it.

It’s theirs, lock, stock, barrel, and you can throw in the kitchen sink.

Even the Republican congress doesn’t own it because they’ve been shut out of the process.

DOGE is destroying agencies that were set up by and ostensibly report to Congress and Trump has grabbed control of the purse. All that Congress does is appropriate the money by approving a budget. Trump spends the money without regard to what Congress says it should be spent on.

The economy is Trump’s- every single bit of it.

And Democrats should not approve a budget without demanding the accountability the Constitution calls for.

And if Republicans are too cowardly to stand up for the power that is inherently theirs, well…… let them drive the country over a cliff.


Of course, then Republicans will claim that Democrats didn’t stop them from driving the country off a cliff, and some here will echo that pathological claim.

And it will be the same dynamic as an abusive asshole blaming his wife for being forced to beat her up, and sending her to the hospital.
