Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

People really can’t understand the economy turns like the Titanic. Trump fucked it, but we didn’t see the real effects until Biden’s term. We were heading into another Great Depression, and coupled with the effects of Covid, people massively underestimate how well the economy actually did under Biden.
Trump will coast on the Biden administration’s success for a while, and will take the credit. Once he fully fucks everything (and IF there are fair elections in 2028, which doesn’t seem likely), a future democratic administration will be blamed for the effects of trump’s fuckery. Repeat ad infinitum.
That’s how it’s worked for a century, and uninformed voters will always fall for it.
Are you implying the president's desk does not come with a big green Fix the Economy and a big red Ruin the Economy button?
Nah. It takes much more to build than to burn down. This is why bush senior had to do the things that angered his base. Whats been built in the last four years will fall within 2. Even trumps first term it was actually covid which allowed him to get through it. Obama was not able to really get things good in two after bush jr.s two wars and when trump dropped rates and overheated everything the market was due for a big crash but covid ironically created this wierd condition were it bounced back due to the stimulus of the checks and just that generally the haves did not want to fuck around with that shit going. Everything became about keeping things going. Its gonna be a rough few years coming up.
