Judgment Free Zone: "Do you think Trump was better for the economy?"

[Ozymandeas]

I keep hearing people say this

The floor is all yours. No judgment.

No.. cac was living off obama success and a few years later in his presidency he knew about covid a few months prior and just like his business dealings he was clueless on how to address it and let it go

One thing that never really gets brought up is the OPEC+ deal. OPEC was squeezing Russia out of the market by increasing their production but in order to help Putin Trump prodded OPEC to cut production and let Russia into OPEC+. Another part of the deal was to cut production and slowly bring it back to pre-pandemic levels in 2025.

I'm amazed that he even brags about oil prices when he's responsible for the lower output.

Not at all. I'd argue that the economy for me was just as good in Obama's 2nd term. But now, people seem to keep forgetting the impact the pandemic played on the economy on a global scale. People sitting at home for months, getting enhanced unemployment checks because their job was shut down. Multiple $1,200 checks to all working Americans. (Side note: One of my homies who was in prison was doing work release at a linen factory when the pandemic hit His girl filed for unemployment benefits for him. When he got out in September 2020, he had a check for $15,000 waiting for him). Billions (total) in PPP loans going to business (some fraudulently), with a lot of those loans being forgiven. Supply lines shut down in America and globally (delays in new houses being built meant less houses and more buyers, driving the price of houses up. Another side note, it took me forever to get a PS5 due to global chip shortage, unless you purchased from 3rd market vendor for triple the price).

In short, for that slow down in the global economy, and all the free money going around, the other shoe was going to drop. Thus inflation. Who held the highest office in the land when the pandemic hit? Trump. Inflation would be the same (or worse according to financial experts) if Trump was re-elected. Only difference is he would blame democrats for inflation, while still boasting about black unemployment being at it's lowest (though he nor any other Republican will give Biden credit for it now).

[jilla82]

personally I would make more money under a Trump presidency

The Biden admin (and Liz Warren) have been anti crypto....
The Kamala team is saying they're interested in working with the industry but who knows how real that is

Its a big reason I dont really care who wins the election...
im good either way

Judgement free zone?

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Its why he’ll win this election. All about perception. Facts don’t matter to people

At what point do Dems get blamed for not being even trying to fight misinformation?

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

No, we got a taste of what he did in the early years of Biden. If he was reelected in 2020 we would've been worse off
