Did Trump really ‘ruin the economy’ in 2020 or did blue state governors and mayors ruin it with lockdowns and mandates?

[Big Bend Texas]

So we had the best economy in 2021?

Can you not read for yourself?

 

[Big Bend Texas]

I am not bound by your delusions. Trump said what he said and many states followed suit. Some even acknowledging due to his recommendations.

Trump never told any business or any state to close businesses, that's a fact period.

 

[Big Bend Texas]

I like how rightards bitch that Democrats shut down the economy while at the same time, boast we had the best economy in the world.

We did till Biden had time to fuck it up.

 

[Faun]

I bitch every time Democrats hinder the economy regardless. Take now for instance. Democrats’ massive spending is exacerbating inflation and their anti-domestic oil policies are causing unnecessary higher energy costs. But hey, go ahead and celebrate economic mediocrity simply because Democrats are in charge.

You're nuts. Oil production is near an all-time high in America and inflation has been increasing since early 2021, while we were still operating under Trump's budget.

We constantly hear Lefties say it…”Trump ruined the economy”……but did he?
Did he ever champion lockdowns, closures and the like?
Was he ever in favor of mandates and all the things that caused the “crash”?

Trump was for lockdowns at the start of the Pandemic and it wasn’t just Blue States that closed their economies but it was also Red States including Texas that closed their economies and had mandates.

Now does that mean Trump caused the crash around the World?

No, but the partisan Hookers on the left will say he did when it was China own government that caused it by not containing the virus and allowing it to spread when they knew how dangerous it was or is!

 

[candycorn]

Perhaps in your own little mind but not anywhere else.

You do know that while Trump's CDC was telling everyone to social distance....Trump's DHS was forcing everyone returning to fly into 13 airports which caused people to stand shoulder to shoulder for hours...right?

 

[Faun]

Trump never told any business or any state to close businesses, that's a fact period.

I never said he did and he didn't because he had no authority to do so. Still, he recommended people not eat out and children school at home and states followed his recommendations.

Again, you earlier blamed Fauci because states followed his recommendations. You look like an idiot fluffing for Trump when states also followed his recommendations.

 

[Faun]

We did till Biden had time to fuck it up.

He fucked it up with 6.9% real GDP and 8 million jobs added, did he?

And Pelosi was calling people racist along with the former Mayor of New York, so tell me you hold Trump accountable for his failure while never holding Pelosi or Mayor De Bozo responsible along with China fucking Government!

 

[Colin norris]

We constantly hear Lefties say it…”Trump ruined the economy”……but did he?

He destroyed the exports to China and increased the prices of Chinese imports by his silly bullying tariffs. I suppose you could say he created a mini recession.

Did he ever champion lockdowns, closures and the like?

No. He ignorantly wanted it to run wild and kill 3 times as many. The correct authorities convinced him of the repercussions in light of the upcoming election. But it still didn't work and he lost anyway.

Was he ever in favor of mandates and all the things that caused the “crash”?

So youre admitting there was a crash? He was the dickhead in chief so he has to take responsibility.

All time production marks are irrelevant.Oil production is clearly not enough given the budget crushing prices. Democrat spending is exacerbating inflation meaning it is making it worse.

You must have missed post 45.

Your blob did the same thing China did. Downplayed the virus. You do remember him saying that it would disappear like a miracle and that we would have no cases, right?

None of that refutes what I said. But in typical fashion, the right batches that the left can't clean up their messes fast enough.

Trump, like every republican who becomes president spends money like a drunken sailor at a whore house, but never knows how to pay it off. Trump's great plan was that the economy was going to do great and that's how it will be "paid off." The end. Welcome to the moron's guide on how to run government into the ground, so what do you think?

Oh go fuck yourself with that horse shit. Trump's budget prior to Covid was set to balance the federal budget within 15 years, and included 4.4 trillion in spending cuts. It was the democrat congress that went stark raving mad with trillions upon trillions in so-called "covid relief" that sent hundreds of billions of dollars to multiple foreign countries for shit like "gender studies" and hundreds of millions to various Democrat pet projects like Nancy Pelosi's Kennedy center. Trump even threatened to veto that spending bill if they didn't remove that crap, which they didn't. He should have vetoed it but then the American people would not have received stimulus, which he felt they needed at the time (which amounted to only ~350 billion dollars of that 6 trillion dollar boondoggle). To put that "drunken sailor" spending on Trump is the epitome of rewriting history, he clearly opposed it and it was the Democrats that wrote the boondoggle Bill.

Trump’s Budget Would Balance, Congress Can’t Say the Same

It’s budget season in Washington, and President Trump just fired the opening shot. The president’s plan puts the federal budget on a path to balance over 15 years by reining in wasteful government spending while keeping taxes low and America’s national defense strong.

Unemployment was sky high everywhere including red states. Whether it was 7.5% or 8.1% was a factor of population density and made no difference to state gdps. GDPs plummeted everywhere. Trump destroyed the economy.

For fuck's sake, Trump's first 2 budgets, passed with a Republican House and a Republican Senate, and during a strong economy, added $2½ trillion in debt. And that was after inheriting a $671 billion deficit.

Yes.

Trump rolled over and gave in to the faucists. He gave no alternative path for state and local governments to follow.

 

[The Original Tree]

Was he ever in favor of mandates and all the things that caused the “crash”?

Why did Build Back Better campaign slogan come out before The Pandemic even affected our economy?
Why were leftists talking about a New Normal before any mask mandates, lockdowns, and attacks on our personal freedoms began?

There is your answer.

 

[JWBooth]

President Trump didn't do anything bad. Fauci sure did. Masks are worthless. Fauci and Democrats didn't wear masks while demanding everyone else wear them.

Fauci is not covered by civil service, Trump let him play in the spotlight rather than cutting him loose.
