The Trump administration has failed to improve conditions and is deflecting responsibility onto Biden.

I'm really sick and tired of this shit. There was no disaster. The US had the best economy ever under Joe Biden and I'm sick and tired of hearing them calling a disaster and then turn around and what this shit show has done to this country.

Handed an absolute disaster? Pretty much *any* competent person handed virtual carte blanche in terms of power, budget and hiring could have taken what Biden left them and literally coasted through at least the first few months of their term. Trump's problem is that he is *not* a competent person.

Their physiques. They have to work really hard to prance about without spines.

There is no 21 trillion dollars in investments. There were never 8 peace deals. It's all lies.

Correction: Biden WAS LEFT WITH A DISASTER, AFTER DONNY WAS VOTED OUT!

These people are the lowest forms of scum on this planet.

I’ll take the conditions under Biden, when we were the engine pulling the world out of post Covid troubles.

Seriously these fucking people are ridiculous. My dad is definitely one of them because he keeps telling me that oh you got to give the tariffs some more time. Give it two more years and then things will be flowing in and the economy will be great. Absolute stupidity even coming from my own family.

No, the golden age is for the grifters, and they’re making enough to bulldoze the economy into Great Depression 2.0.
-
Hey, Joe.. just how goddamn stupid do you think we are? Shall we share the receipts showing what a pathological lying POS you are??? GFY
-
Yep. Their viewers must be super pissed about the gas prices.

My brother in-law who has been a diehard MAGA trumper since day one recently called Trump a fuckin moron the other day. Finally he sees the light! To me that spoke volumes on where we all are today as Americans. I hope that come November there will be massive reckoning on this administration.

Biden Derangement Syndrome. These people take no responsibility for anything. They should fuck right off.

O
The Republican House is currently adjourned aside from not releasing the Epstein Files, exactly what do they need more time to work on

The pitch was bad and the messenger was worse

Weird because Biden left two years ago and all these things were cheaper.

The economy that Biden left was the envy of the world.

Isn’t Newsnation a right-wing outlet? (If they are, this is good. It means the bubble is being penetrated, at least a little.)
