blame. Obstruction from Democrats, and fake news reporting doom and gloom and making it worse. Sound familiar? Exactly what the Reputin's actually did to Obama.
In Obama's case it was an economy that was going along okay, that the white-wing propaganda kept teaching the half-wits was going horribly.

(16,423 posts)I watched two independent interviews with a financial expert each.
Once was a hardcore-capitalist who wanted to go back to the gold-standard.
One was a leftist who wanted more progressive taxation.
Both independently predicted an economic crash happening somewhere between 2020 and 2025.
And both independently blamed Trump's economic policies.

(9,287 posts)The GOP is hoisted on their own petard. They ran against Obama for 8 years touting their platform of austerity and budget balancing. They then blew up the deficit for billionaires as soon as they took power. That was a level of hypocrisy that even the overwhelmed American voter understood. Sarah Palin, not the sharpest tool in anyones drawer, made a living on going after banksters and Wall Street. The GOP gave them a huge present.
Everybody got this which is part of why the GOP massacre in the midterms came to be. They could get zero momentum on their tax bill. In fact it was a clear negative in traditional GOP strongholds as Orange County. If the economy turns sour, I expect no sympathy for POTUS Marmalade. Can you think of a worse person to display empathy for Americans in times of economic hardship?
He has failed miserably and all that is left is how much of the GOP he will destroy in the time he has left.
