1. Inflation is good for Trump

The "value" of all his assets goes up and he can leverage that to borrow more.

OPM - other people's money.

3. Biden spent whole term fixing Covid disaster

Which included high inflation. And he did fix it and the American people didn't reward him at all.

Trump spending whole term creating one future/current disaster after another.

It's almost like the American people deserve it.

Not just Biden and Trump. Republicans tank the economy enacting huge tax cuts to rich people , the next democrat that is elected spend a significant fraction of their term to fix it and does not get rewarded. The stupid electorate falls for it every time.

Once we take back the presidency in 2029, I already know what will happen. The republicans will again scream that deficits matter and we should just cut social programs to fix it.

Sadly, we have enough uninformed or brain washed people in the country that it works ( almost) every time.

What we really need is at least four consecutive presidential terms and congressional control all along to have a chance to fix the Country.

It would be nice if Americans stopped electing Republicans who create all these messes. Many Americans weren't born the last time a recession started under a Democrat. Almost no one was born the last time a Republican who served a full term didn't have a recession begin on his watch.

And yes, the worst president ever is Donald Trump, that guy who got booed mercilessly at Madison Square Garden.

propaganda machine is spinning this? Or is it just the sound of crickets in the bubble? Lie through ommision. I'm guessing that my unfriendly local MAGAts are blissfully unaware.
