  1. Every hint from the campaign this past week is that their platform being announced at the DNC will be super focused on consumer protection, price lowering and middle class economics. That will likely boost this even more.

    As she should. A president meddling in Fed decisions would be a disaster. And don’t get me started on tariffs or the economic impact of weakening NATO.

  3. Only a 1 pt margin here but it seems like Trump no longer has a big advantage on the economy.

  4. That is crazy. It’s always been “Republicans are better at the economy” . . . By a decent to wide margin. 

    What do I do with my hands?

    Anyone who trusts Trump on the economy hasn’t paid attention to a single detail about his life.

  6. You mean the guy that somehow managed to bankrupt a casino isn’t seen as a financial wizard? You don’t say.

    Literally every Democrat in Congress should be trusted more than Donald Trump on the economy.

  8. The US has had 11 recessions since 1953. 10 of them happened under Republican presidents. If Democrats have a reputation for being bad for the economy it is because they are always handed a terrible one by the Republican before them and have to fix the mess.

  9. She should be, Trump’s a failure at everything he’s done. Except organizing the ignorant.

  10. As she should. If you think inflation is bad now, it would explode under the trade policies laid out in Project 2025

    Talk about damning with false praise. A gold fish would be more trusted than Donald Trump

  12. It sucks that they can’t talk about world inflation and being like 86th worst in the world, that they did a good job keeping it lower. Because no one cares about those logistics.

    But they can talk about CEO pay, corporate greed, private equity hurting the housing market, helping farmers to lower prices,  and protection for renters.

    Trump bankrupted three casinos, stole from charities, and somehow failed to sell beer and steaks to Americans.

    Harris supported Biden’s plans to bring jobs back to America, recognizes that consumers need to be protected from greedy corporations, and hasn’t stolen money from children with cancer. 

    Jeez. I wonder who is the better pick for the economy.

    if they somehow take that frok the republicans then idk what the gop has left to run on. its amazing people still think trump will be better for the economy than the democrats, or republicans in general because shit always blows up because of them.

  15. The only economic issues I’d trust Trump to do are to lower taxes on billionaires and increase the burden on the middle class.

  16. That there are people “trusting” trump, an eternal loser, on economy does say something about the electorate and society in general in the US. While organically well-meaning, most people are easily swayed by the influence of TV “stars” (and the social media in the past decade) who are very rarely the persons they project themselves on TV or in social media. Quite the opposite 🧐

    I would hope so, I mean let’s face it, she has been in Bidens administration for over three and a half years.
    We’ve seen the best economy in the last 50 during this administration.
    Just look at the actual statistics not what you feel but what actually has been accomplished in the last 3 and 1/2 years.
    Unemployment is at a record low consistently around 4%. The The stock market has done amazingly well, breaking all records. GDP has been consistently above the economic experts expectations.
    Even with inflation this economy has performed statistically better than the last 40 years.
    If you look at the economy during the Trump administration it’s a complete debacle. Is claim to fame of having it gas prices $1.87 a gallon is because no one was driving. Literally, because of the way he handled the covid crisis and the supply chain, no one was going anywhere for 2 years. So supply and demand forced oil production towards the All Time low. So he’s claimed the fame of having low fuel prices is one of the biggest jokes I’ve ever heard. It proved you couldn’t get toilet paper, while you could have all the gas you wanted, no one could go anywhere.
    The border was more secure, because no one wanted to come here during the pandemic.
    So all his claims of Fame, are false narratives…
