    The list is too big to put here. Seriously. This just the first page!

    Bear in mind that if you are shocked and surprised, is due to a corrupt media misleading you. That is not a dig on you, you except the media to report fairly and accurately since you have no first hand sources.
    If you are angry, what are you angry about?

    Many will blame Trump for creating a “man bites dog” news cycle rather than carving out time to report accomplishments in the hard news minute. That is the media’s fault, not Trump’s. We have let big tech corrupt our information pipeline.

    In reality, the nation owes Trump it’s gratitude for exposing the corporate media for using its power to misinform to shape opinion that fits their agenda.

    A large percentage of those "successes" came from the sound (though unexciting) practices of the Obama administration, who believed in a slow but steady improvement. Why slow and steady instead of exploding like Trump wanted? To keep down inflation.
    Trump is an infant in a suit. The only good ideas he ever has are ones he got from someone else.
    Not sure why you posted this now, but I assume you anticipate Trump announcing his candidacy for president in 2024.
    I'd wish you good luck, but I don't.
    Have fun with your golden idol.................

    Inciting an insurrection to start. Don't worry, the SALT act will eventually go away.

    Current unemployment rate is 3.7%. You going to give Biden any credit?
    Number of Americans currently employed is nearly 160 million. You going to give Biden any credit?
    US Deficit grew under Trump. It has now started to decline. You going to give Biden any credit?

    Corrupting our information pipeline? The #1 source of disinformation is Trump.

    Why should we all he did was pass policies encouraging people not to go back to work. Unemployment was already under 5% when he took off, 3.8% where I live. The LFPR continues to fall under the Dems whilenit increased under Trump and the Reps.

    It's only decline because the COVID emergency spending under Trump ended. Biden wants MORE spending and HUGE deficits he student loan bailout just one example.

    False who was engaged in the years long Russian collusion disinformation? The "democracy is under attack" disinformation? The censoring of information on social media?

    Can't wait for tonite... At the very least, his announcement guarantees a very entertaining and bloody primary fight.

    Best case, his announcement could guarantee 4 more D years (of somebody)...

    Also, this thread cannot remotely be construed as a current event... Conspiracy Theory forum sounds about right...

    I don’t want him to get that far. You know he will try to destroy the democratic process again when he loses.

    Only 4 ways to stop him from being on the general ballot, that I can think of

    1. Losing in the primary
    2. He finally gets every last penny from every last supporter
    3. Blissful arms of Death
    4. Disqualification - https://www.citizensforethics.org/l...rew-to-pursue-disqualification-if-trump-runs/

    It's also possible a criminal conviction would slow his roll, but I wouldn't bet on that either...

    It's amazing how some can go "Obama did this, not Trump" and then try to hold Trumps stats to only post Covid conditions, and then simultaneously go "Biden didn't do this, Trump did".

    How can some of you be so partisan?

    Yes, Obama did decent with the economy. Trump built on that, despite the lefts claim that he would fail, and Biden has done a poor job of mitigating recovery after Covid.

    Those are all facts.

    Um... unemployment doesn't tell the whole store. People are only counted as "unemployed" if they are collecting benefits. There are 7 million abled bodied men NOT in the labor force and not collecting unemployment.

    Labor force participation is a much more accurate number: Trump saw the highest percent of labor force participation since about 2012 during his tenure prior to Covid.

    Biden certainly has not recovered that.

    https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-labor-force-participation-rate.htm

    How many were there in the Summer of 2019?



    Not sure where you are getting your information from.

    Yes, deficits grew under Trump, just like almost every president in recent history.

    Bidens are absolutely growing too, unless you only use 2020 as the baseline and all the Covid stimulation ending... which seems. Dishonest to say the least.

    I love that they are telling magapatriots to ignore half his term. Wonder why they didn’t mention massive QE and fed monetary injections? Or that he almost spent more in 4 years than the prior administration spent in 8? Or the number of government shutdowns?

    Even some on the far right have rejected trumpism after seeing the distraction it left, it’s sad to see so many on PF still push it.

    Well, since this thread is about Trump, I was sticking to the narrative, or trying to. Trump claimed over and over how terrible the Obama administration was with the economy, and I was pointing out how erroneous Trump's assertion was. I say "Obama administration" because I don't think Obama was an economic genius, but he did put smart people in place to come up with sound policies. I do think that some of the Trump administrations actions led to worse inflation, but no one saw the disaster that was Covid until early (Jan) 2020. Trump could have handled it better, but the economic impact was invasive, to say the least, as was the human aspect (deaths, illness, jobs shut down). Trump's biggest problem with the economy was that he thought he was a genius (but isn't), and didn't surround himself with good advisors, only those who agreed with him. Biden made inflation a little worse with policy, but most of the inflationary causes were/are out of the governments control.
    I haven't heard Biden call himself a genius, and hopefully his administration will work through this economic situation. Inflation is an extremely difficult aspect of the economy to control for the Federal government. I've heard many here say they want less government intervention, but somehow when it suits them, they want more.
    Haven't figured out that one yet, except, oh yeah, Biden is an evil Democrat!
    Talk about being so partisan! Take a good look in the mirror. Why are you so partisan but chastise others for it?

    the reduction in the deficit was the result of unused covid money not used being returned to the treasury.

    Biden’s employment was due to the “missing workforce” that just stopped working - presumably people inheriting their baby boomer parents houses and assets.

    The "accomplishment" of trying to overthrow our elections and install Trump as an unelected autocrat overshadows any good he has done.

    This thread is not about Obama or Biden. It is about people unable or unwilling to give “the other side” credit for anything, and fight those people who try to.

    Nice spin on overseeing the worst recovery since WW II. Also his best economic performance was after the GOP took over the House which controls spending legislation.
    You got zero room to mock anyone else's "golden idol". None at all.

    And why exactly is that? This should be entertaining.
    I was referring to the idolization of Trump, who the CPAC literally made a golden statue of.
    Obama did some good things, some not so good. He was a great orator, and most people at least had some admiration for him. I'd say he was a better than average president overall.
    He also had some wise policy makers around him, but most of the time made the tough decisions. Yeah, I know "line in the sand", but I watched Fox news most of the time he was in office, and I can see why some have a negative opinion of Obama. They literally yapped for 30 minutes one evening about the color of the suit he wore when meeting some dignitary in another country. Beige exuded the wrong message for America. LOL
    That's my opinion.
    But, this thread is about Trump, so go ahead and tout Trump's great accomplishments to other "believers". He did accomplish some things, but some was him taking credit for something that wasn't his to take credit for, and, In my opinion, he was overall a negative for America.
    You're opinion is as valid as any one else's, except for mine, apparently. That, you'll just have to get over........or not.

    . Already made my point. The message I was responding to talked about how Obama and handed Trump a golden economy - I responded to that point. Don the't like my posts don't read them
