It’s decision year, who will be better for the economy, Biden or Trump?

I am an American - Biden

I am not an American - Biden

I am an American - Trump

Trump, there's really not much doubt about that. Reopening the iron range, creating opportunity zones, and pushing school choice vs crippling oil production, refusing to enforce existing laws securing the border, and sending tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine.

Whatever your grievances against Trump may be, pretending Biden's better on a purely economic level is just self-delusion.

[blueonblack22]

Trump literally has 2024 in the bag and all he needs to do is STFU for once. Hide out in the basement like Biden in 2020 (when he’s not in court).

But we both know that’s unlikely happen. 2024 is going to be close really close. But if Biden keep on making senile asinine decisions it might be enough to push Trump over the finish line despite his stupid antics.

[blueonblack22]

Who in their right f’ing mind believes “Biden will be better for the economy”. The guy is senile incompetence incarnate when it comes to economic policy.

Thar doesn’t mean I’m gung ho about Trump. He is not the republican candidate I want. But anybody over Biden.

[Jersey2]

Some vote Biden in economy simply because they don’t want Trump, not because Biden will be better for the economy.

[blueonblack22]

Right. But these people are so stupid they rather have hyperinflation and a stagnating economy which hurts THEM vs. having Trump in office and being deranged over his social media remarks.

[blueonblack22]

Also surprised to see 6 guys voted for Biden.

I’m used to seeing leftist women acting deranged and blind when they fail to understand policy > personality. But when a man especially a GROWN man can’t understand then he’s a very special kind of stupid.

My retirement account still is not back to pre Biden levels. Not to mention 3 wasted years when it should have been making money.

[exitseven]

Trump. He will create real jobs, cut corporate income tax and secure the southern border and start mass deportations of illegal aliens, saving the government a trillion dollars a year. Get tough on China and get us out of Ukraine. Bring back energy independence and get inflation under control. The dollar will be stronger, interest rates will go down and hopefully so will the national debt.

[DryGermanGuy]

"Among the countries patronizing Mr. Trump’s properties, China made the largest total payment — $5.5 million — to his business interests, the report found. Those payments included millions of dollars from China’s Embassy in the United States, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Hainan Airlines Holding Company."

@DryGermanGuy Were those payments directly to President Trump or to the Trump Corp for some services that they provided?

[DryGermanGuy]

You know as well as I do that the provisions of the founding fathers were that the president receives only his salary and nothing else. Even the slightest hint at improper income or foreign influence should be avoided at all costs. Certainly money directly from the Chinese government!!! Hell, Obama gave back the Nobel price money of 1,3 million to protect the office!

Here is Trump with his infamous "I love China" chant.

I'm not American, but I seriously dont understand what y'all like so much about Trump, can't you really find other folks than those old 75+ powerhungry guys? I'm sure there are people who could do it better

[Jersey2]

Trump is still very sharp, Biden is not. Trump could work me under the table. He has so much energy.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

he may be smart and sharp minded but on the other side he is also a master manipulator and greedy capitalist. He'll only make the US shine bright from the outside, but neglects the infrastructural and social problems

[Anonymous]

Hard to say for certain. I would say Trump but 1. I don't think he ever gets re-elected again. Of course I also said he would never get elected in the first place so..😆.

But while I think Trump holds a slight edge on being better for the economy it's because I think if by some miracle Trump does get elected he'll spend at least a year settling scores and the Democrats will spend all 4 years. Thwarting everything he does.

I actually just want Trump to go away at this point.

[Anonymous]

Trump to the loved ones of kids murdered in school mass shootings: “Get over it.” Everything else aside, the crimes, the rapes, the treason, etc. This asshole doesn’t belong anywhere near the White House again because he is a vile, repugnant piece of SHIT.

[goaded]

It's usually Democratic presidents that do best for the economy.

[exitseven]

Notcin this case unfortunately

[goaded]

@exitseven Sure. What's the latest inflation figures? Median wage? Unemployment? All really bad, right?

[goaded]

It's 3.1% (https://www. usinflationcalculator. com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/), up 9.08% from 2020 in 2021 (https://usafacts. org/data/topics/economy/jobs-and-income/jobs-and-wages/median-annual-wage/) & 3.7% (https://www. statista. com/statistics/273909/seasonally-adjusted-monthly-unemployment-rate-in-the-us/)

Median weekly earnings increased 5.7 percent over the year ending in the second quarter of 2023 www.bls.gov/.../...-the-second-quarter-of-2023.htm

It doesn't matter who is President, markets are manipulated by the Fed.

[exitseven]

The President can affect policy like stopping oil production and driving up the price of certain essential commodities. Sometimes these economies have a domino effect, touching off an inflationary cycle. They can also make foreign policy that is detrimental to America. Poor leadership also leads to uncertainty which the markets hate more than a recession

[AviatorTom]

Why is Washington state gray on the map?

[exitseven]

The state is sick and is dying

[Jersey2]

This was a 2016 map during the election process and Washington hadn’t come in yet I believe.

[goaded]

It's also misleading in that it's a map of how counties voted, and it uses the same colour whether that county contained 50 or 5,000,000 people. Land doesn't vote, people do.

[DarkWinterNights]

I don’t think there is fixing this economy.

[Jersey2]

Trump did a great job in 2016 when Obama told us to get used to it.

[exitseven]

Yes, I remember when Obama said that. I also remember when Trump said he wanted to make America great again and Obama said it was never great to begin with.

[FunkyMonkee]

Trump, of course!

[Anonymous]

Definitely Trump, Biden is a disaster.

[Charliefretz329]

Probably trump between those 2 choices.
