According to CNN, trump still polls better on the economy, though that has eroded significantly

since the pandemic, but it also demonstrates just how stupid a lot of the populace is, and ignores just how shallow the media has been covering trump’s economy

He's wholly responsible for things being as bad as they are. We're totally fucked as a country. Ignorance rules the land.

There's plenty of evidence to the contrary that the economy does better under D presidents.

Other republicans are still better for the economy, (in their minds) but not this republican.

The deplorables don't acknowledge they don't have money in the bank and are borrowing more.
