Trump will leave office with a historically bad economic record

[ShThFuUp]

Trump's failed economy is entirely his fault. His faggot ass didn't take anything serious unless it benefits his ego or finances. He is a fucking disgrace and a treasonous Nazi.

Dumb ass Trumpturds cannot deny any of these as they are ALL fucking facts! Watch, they will attack the messenger, deflect, or outright lie - but will not address the 5 points below. Brainwashed and INFERIOR shitheads you are.

1. A botched public health response

The Trump administration failed to take the coronavirus outbreak seriously. In late February, while other high-income countries were ramping up testing and developing tracing procedures, President Donald Trump stated that “the Coronavirus [was] very much under control.” It was during these critical early weeks and months that the United States should have been stockpiling protective gear for frontline workers and making testing widely available. In contrast, South Korea, a country whose first confirmed case of COVID-19 coincided with that of the United States, bought 720,000 masks for employees of businesses considered at risk of exposure to the coronavirus. When asked if the U.S. federal government would supply personal protective equipment (PPE) to states, President Trump responded that it would not act as a “shipping clerk.”

2. A failure to help workers retain their jobs

Another stark contrast between the United States and its international, high-income peers stems from the ways in which this administration has failed to maintain an adequate connection between workers and their employers. Since the beginning of March, the United States has seen 23 percent of its February labor force—37.6 million workers in total—apply for unemployment insurance. The enhanced unemployment insurance provisions included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act have no doubt made a huge difference for the unemployed, but there are also meaningful nonmonetary benefits that come from staying formally employed, including health care for 49 percent of Americans.

3. Three years of slashing critical safety nets

The failures of the Trump administration’s approach did not begin when the pandemic started. Each of the administration’s four budget proposals has recommended slashing funding for the Center for Disease Control (CDC). In 2018, the CDC cut its epidemic prevention activities, which help “train front-line workers in outbreak detection and work to strengthen laboratory and emergency response systems in countries where disease risks are greatest,” by 80 percent; moreover, it significantly scaled back its focus on emerging infectious diseases in several of the world’s hot spots, including China.


4. A failure to prevent layoffs of state and local workers

In the weeks following the coronavirus outbreak, it became clear to state governments that they would have to increase spending to unanticipated levels. Yet a lack of aid from the federal government forced states and localities, who have much stricter budget requirements than the federal government, to cut payrolls for more than 1 million employees, representing a 5.2 percent drop in the total nonfederal government employment level. Without strong guidelines from the White House, states were forced to fend for themselves, often bidding against one another to provide their frontline health care workers with protective gear.

5. A failure to help small businesses

Even before shelter-in-place orders were commonplace across states, businesses were noticing sharp declines in consumer activity. By the beginning of April, 24 percent of small businesses had reported temporarily shutting down. By mid-May, more than 100,000 small businesses had closed permanently, representing 2 percent of the nation’s total. The Paycheck Protection Program—a provision in the CARES Act intended to help employers keep operations running despite revenue shortfalls—was plagued by reports of large, publicly traded companies receiving massive sums while small businesses were left without help.

80,000,000 smart thinking Americans realized this shithead wanna-be-putin's-bitch-tyrant is the worse president in history and kicked his fat ass out. His supporters are so damn stupid, they can't think logically and sanely. The epitome of cultists.

Yer cute.

And NO retort to the facts posted. Thank you for both the compliment and agreeing. [wink]

Texas has the 10th largest economy in the world

And yet waaaay behind California's. Also growing. You whiny little bitch.

How is it growing when all of the tech companies are leaving?

Because maybe your one line plagiarism of a headline you saw on Drudge doesn't tell the whole story? Perhaps a State of 40 million+ has...other industry?

I see you ignored post #232.
Got an answer for that?

Can't see post numbers, sorry. Use your big boy words.

You can't figure out post numbers and you feel you are competent to hold a coherent conversation. Learn to read and communicate and come back when you can. Moron.

[rightwinger]

Putting an end to the lie that there was a Trump economic miracle. Trump entered office with dropping unemployment and a steadily rising market. He leaves the country in shambles.

US economy: Trump will leave office with a historically bad economic record

Alone among the 13 presidents since World War Two, Trump will exit the White House with fewer Americans employed than when he started. He will have overseen punier growth in economic output than any of the previous 12 presidents.

His throwback "America First" agenda has failed to restore the old economic engine that powered an earlier era's prosperity. On Trump's watch, industrial production has fallen. The Federal Reserve says the manufacturing sector fell into recession in 2019 even before the coronavirus pandemic hit.

In other words, sort of like what every outgoing republican president hands over to his democrat successor.

Joe Biden has experience in fixing Republican messes

Link to him fixing anything?

Watch this dodge.

Let me check....

Yes, here it is
Seems Joe Biden was Vice President when the Obama Administration rescues us from the Great Bush Recession of 2008

He did no such thing,,,,,,couldnt even find any shovel rdy jobs

umm...that was the responsibility of the states

yeah......thats it.........gee where'd all that money go again

Went to rapid infrastructure projects, tax cuts, police, fire, teachers. Some Red States used it to pay down debt

 

[rightwinger]

Hopefully, Biden will institute major infrastructure improvements for those states that supported him.

What good is infrastructure when all the blue state businesses flee to Texas? Oh that's gonna leave a mark.

There is more business to be developed. California is going off fossil fuel for automobiles.

They cant keep the power on now dumbshit.

It's comforting to know there's so many blithering idiots on the left.

Yeah it is..
Watching California go down the toilette while they vote for the very things that pushed the handle.
It's the most politically ignorant state in the country right along with NY.

They are the economic backbone of our country.

Not for long.
Elon has moved to Texas as well as Oracle.
You're bleeding tech companies and tax payers like a slit throat.
Good luck paying your way with lettuce pickers when Cali is already on the brink of collapse.

California has a much larger GDP than Texas

View attachment 428786

Wow, that was 2015, California is in the process of losing HP, Tesla, and Oracle. Guess that ought to take a hefty chunk out of that GDP. Or are we only counting 2015....dumbass.

Five years later
California is still our top economy .....by a wide margin

It is because he is a hoax and did nothing at all. 700.000 manufacturing jobs gone in Trumps two first years alone. Interesting to see the whole number when its done. Unfortunately for you, nobody cares if the President actually works but only to which party he belongs to.

By “cult leader” I’m assuming you mean Trump.

so, what “facts that were stated by his cult leader” did you post?

Lets see these facts you posted by Trump.

 

[Dana7360]

S

300,000 dead is anything but funny

Who's laughing?

Do we have an example of a President who served, that didn't have deaths during his term?

Are they all responsible for the deaths under their leadership? or is it just Trump?

Democrats are liars and will have to live with the fact that the shutdowns they orchestrated killed our economy, destroyed people's lives and businesses. And, it continues..........

Good point
A President can’t stop an infection. But he can handle a crisis. Trump made it worse

Based on our population, we should have had 60,000 deaths
Under Trumps inept leadership, we have 300,000

They predicted over 2 million dead. Anyway if you go by covid only deaths, it would be under 60,000.

Wrong again skippy
They told Trump that if nothing were done, there could be 2 million. So are you bragging Trump is better than nothing when he has 300,000 dead instead of 60,000?

So tell us RW what would the bitch or China Joe have done?
If They had immediately shut down the economy and declared martial law would the death toll be lower? Would there be an economy? How would the media react? Apparently hiding in one’s basement was good enough to be elected. It’s easy to play armchair quarterback however it takes something else to play in the game

What would the Great Obama or Biden or Hillary or any available Republican have done that Trump didn’t?

They would have listened to scientists not economists
They would have stressed to the people that this was a real disease and not a myth no worse than the common cold
They would not have spread lies and misinformation
THEY WOULD HAVE STRESSED MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING

Like the rest of the sane world did

I would add they would not have removed all but around a dozen Americans at the CDC in China. There was around 50 people there to help with viruses and situations exactly like we are facing now.

They would not have fired and totally disbanded the pandemic team Obama created to handle this exact problem. trump fired the whole pandemic team that Obama created to handle this exact situation.

They would not have refused tests for the virus from the WHO when the pandemic started. trump refused the WHO tests for the virus so we didn't even start to test until very late after the virus was here and out of control. We, to this day, don't have the proper testing and contact tracing.

They would have followed the pandemic manual that Obama created and left for trump to follow. trump not only didn't follow it, he trashed it.

I will add that Obama was very successful in preventing SARZ, MERZ and EBOLA from coming to America and killing and causing the nightmare trump has allowed to happen to America.

Again, WHAT FACTS, you state unsubstantiated OPINION. But we'll take your opinions one by one, although I don't know why, you moron democrats are like talking to a box of hammers. No. 1, Trump was addressing the virus in January, long before Piglosi was encouraging people to come on down to Chinatown in SF to party during Chinese New Year. No. 2, The governor of your state shut it down--not Trump. Trump signed the bi-partisan stimulus bill (which I hold him responsible for). That stimulus bill unnecessarily raised the US debt by 10% for our kids and grandkids to pay off. If we hadn't shut down for the flu, you would have your job. No. 3, The CDC is not a critical safety net and they have done NOTHING in this scamdemic. As regards aiding China, we are in debt financially to China, let them pay for their own, I don't recall getting any aid from the CCP. No. 4, See No. 2. No. 5, Again, your state's governor shut down the state and there was stimulus in the form of PPP, but clearly not enough, I guess small business was not as important to Piglosi as the Kennedy Center for the Arts. Finally 80M morons (maybe) voted for an alzheimers patient that spent the entire campaign hiding in his basement. Eighty million more voted for a sitting president that did a better job at keeping the promises he made than any president in the modern era in spite of four years of democrat obstruction and criminal acts.
Now, your allegations have been addressed with FACTS. You did not cite any sources for your allegations because none exist. Please learn to think critically before parroting a bunch of MSM produced falsehoods.

Putting an end to the lie that there was a Trump economic miracle. Trump entered office with dropping unemployment and a steadily rising market. He leaves the country in shambles.

US economy: Trump will leave office with a historically bad economic record

Alone among the 13 presidents since World War Two, Trump will exit the White House with fewer Americans employed than when he started. He will have overseen punier growth in economic output than any of the previous 12 presidents.

His throwback "America First" agenda has failed to restore the old economic engine that powered an earlier era's prosperity. On Trump's watch, industrial production has fallen. The Federal Reserve says the manufacturing sector fell into recession in 2019 even before the coronavirus pandemic hit.

It is because he is a hoax and did nothing at all. 700.000 manufacturing jobs gone in Trumps two first years alone. Interesting to see the whole number when its done. Unfortunately for you, nobody cares if the President actually works but only to which party he belongs to.

Got a link for that?
Last I checked manufacturing was increasing dramatically under Trump.

U.S. Job Loss to China Swells to 3.7 Million - Alliance for American Manufacturing

First two years of Trump presidency saw 700,000 jobs lost.

300,000 dead is anything but funny

Who's laughing?

Do we have an example of a President who served, that didn't have deaths during his term?

Are they all responsible for the deaths under their leadership? or is it just Trump?

Democrats are liars and will have to live with the fact that the shutdowns they orchestrated killed our economy, destroyed people's lives and businesses. And, it continues..........

Good point
A President can’t stop an infection. But he can handle a crisis. Trump made it worse

Based on our population, we should have had 60,000 deaths
Under Trumps inept leadership, we have 300,000

They predicted over 2 million dead. Anyway if you go by covid only deaths, it would be under 60,000.

Wrong again skippy
They told Trump that if nothing were done, there could be 2 million. So are you bragging Trump is better than nothing when he has 300,000 dead instead of 60,000?

So tell us RW what would the bitch or China Joe have done?
If They had immediately shut down the economy and declared martial law would the death toll be lower? Would there be an economy? How would the media react? Apparently hiding in one’s basement was good enough to be elected. It’s easy to play armchair quarterback however it takes something else to play in the game

What would the Great Obama or Biden or Hillary or any available Republican have done that Trump didn’t?

They would have listened to scientists not economists
They would have stressed to the people that this was a real disease and not a myth no worse than the common cold
They would not have spread lies and misinformation
THEY WOULD HAVE STRESSED MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING

Like the rest of the sane world did

I would add they would not have removed all but around a dozen Americans at the CDC in China. There was around 50 people there to help with viruses and situations exactly like we are facing now.

They would not have fired and totally disbanded the pandemic team Obama created to handle this exact problem. trump fired the whole pandemic team that Obama created to handle this exact situation.

They would not have refused tests for the virus from the WHO when the pandemic started. trump refused the WHO tests for the virus so we didn't even start to test until very late after the virus was here and out of control. We, to this day, don't have the proper testing and contact tracing.

They would have followed the pandemic manual that Obama created and left for trump to follow. trump not only didn't follow it, he trashed it.

I will add that Obama was very successful in preventing SARZ, MERZ and EBOLA from coming to America and killing and causing the nightmare trump has allowed to happen to America.

What other leader in the world withdrew from WHO during a pandemic or went to court to cancel healthcare for tens of millions of people?

how many of those presidents had a virus problem like he has?...before it hit we were doing pretty good.....

The one he brushed off as he told a reporter that he obviously needed to impress in secret how serious it was? Fuck you!

was it something i said happy ass?....

Woodrow Wilson had a YUGE one. Virus problem I mean, shut your dirty mind. Didn't crash the economy.

did they order a shut down and for people to stay home?...

Yes, they did. The problem was (global) mobilization for WWI and what made that pandemic as bad as it was.

so they didnt shut the country down?....people were still out there working....

Not only were they out there working, they exported it to Europe via the military.

At the same time, within this country there were mandatory mask laws.

so i guess you were dannies mouthpiece for that thread

I have no clue in the world what that means.

I posted about the influenza epidemic of 1918 (which is certainly not the only one) in answer to your asking about an epidemic that didn't impact the economy like this did.

you were answering the questions i was asking him....now do you know what that means?...

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Texas has the 10th largest economy in the world

And yet waaaay behind California's. Also growing. You whiny little bitch.

How is it growing when all of the tech companies are leaving?

Because maybe your one line plagiarism of a headline you saw on Drudge doesn't tell the whole story? Perhaps a State of 40 million+ has...other industry?

I see you ignored post #232.
Got an answer for that?

Can't see post numbers, sorry. Use your big boy words.

Are you really going to use that as an excuse?
What a fucken loser!!!
Here's the number once again #232!!!!!!
What a pussy you are!!!

Barrycare cancelled the healthcare plans for millions. is that what you are talking about?
