….and Trump’s answer to the same question: “Our cities are overrun with crime, our borders are lawless places, jobs are being taken by illegal aliens… probably from mars… some people say… I don’t know but they are bad people… our economy is dreadful, the worst it has ever been… and frankly, we were so much better when I was president… what was the question again?”

You know what makes me so angry about the whole, "Trump had a great economy," point you hear?
Trump INHERITED, like SO MUCH in his life, a GREAT economy that was saved from a recession by Obama, and in turn the Democrats. Was it gangbusters? NO it was LEVELED and MEASURED to keep a boom or bust economy from truly driving us into the Great Depression. And ya know what Trump did? He shit all over it.
He shit all the returns we were getting from somewhat properly taxed corps. The mortgage bust was held by a thin, paper thin, streak of red tape to keep the whole thing from busting. Now we have to compete with major corporations in subdivisions built by the last near fucking recession. What does anyone think will happen under a Republican economy, right now? A loooot of regulations were let loose to allow corps to build back their revenue to keep from a crash, but some corps found loopholes and tax credits, as they often do, to sweep entire markets off the consumer table during these lucrative short months.

Do you bet on the Administration that enforces a somewhat regulatory status against such monopolism, or the one the cut loose all Regulations, and allows these corporations to buy more and more homes to the behest of your own population? Trump sucks at everything. Including the economy.

This is a constant lie the Republicans tell over and over. Democrats leave them a good economy and they take responsibility for it, and then they hand over a shit economy and blame it on the Dems again.

Every. Single. Time.
