<snipped for brevity> No, just providing some facts which is rare in MAGA world

Sure. PRC restricted imports of Australian wine, lobsters, etc due to supporting trump rhetoric. https://www.dfat.gov.au/trade/organisations/wto/trade-monitoring-and-reviews/wto-trade-policy-review-china-trade-2021-australia-statement#:~:text=China's measures have severely limited,%2C grains%2C and table grapes.

Firstly you have no power whatsoever. I'll give you prior governance under British rule did supress minorities , bot not genocide as carried out by US government "Manifest Destiny". Australia has Free Speech, but cracking down on Hate Speech. Firearms are licensed in Australia for those that need them e.g. farmers. But enough now, going way off topic.

Cost the Australian economy $billions for supporting trump ideology regards PRC

During trump's prior presidency the US trade gap grew by hundreds of $billions, in other words his trade policy was a failure, yet ten of millions of Americans voted for trump 2024 to address economic issues. Trump imposed a 50% tariff on imports of washing machines in 2018. Researchers estimate the value of washing machines jumped by around 12% as a direct consequence, equivalent to $86 per unit, and that US consumers paid around $1.5bn extra a year in total for these products. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20myx1erl6o

In comparison, a bit. trump is a pathologic liar, what was the number when he was in power - oh Yes 30,000 plus Never seen you MAGA people acknowledge trump's insistent lying and taking up conspiracy stuff from the far right.

Prefer someone like Forbes. There is a lot of toing and froing, I agree with.... Voters usually punish presidents when the economy is poor and reward presidents when the economy is strong, but no matter who sits in the Oval Office, their actual power over economic conditions is limited. The pandemic-era recession and post-pandemic inflation binge were both worldwide phenomena. And while both Biden and Trump have touted lower gas prices at various points, the price often has more to do with supply and demand than government policy. Most importantly, the real kingpin of economic growth and inflation arguably isn't the president—it's the Federal Reserve chair. https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2024/11/01/how-the-economy-really-fared-under-bidenharris-and-trump-from-jobs-to-inflation-final-update/

Biden in Pittsburgh sought to contrast his approach as "strategic and targeted" and has said Trump's broader approach would raise costs for U.S. consumers. https://www.npr.org/2024/05/10/1250670539/biden-china-tariffs-electric-vehicles You may find the article below of interest: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/15/biden-tariff-reaction-trump-00158043

Provide credible link to support your opinion. Plus take up you complaint with the author of the article

take up your complaint with the author. Got to say I don't recall MAGA referencing a rational argument

From the OP: Only 11.1 percent of Americans currently fall beneath the poverty line, about the same percentage as under Trump and just barely above the lowest point in 50 years, and while many bitterly remember the high inflation that started receding last year, wages have risen faster than inflation over the past two years, and real wages are higher than they were before the pandemic hit, and U.S. oil production has hit record levels. Another talking point, there will be others regards energy, finance etc...one thing for sure if trump actually implements tariffs etc, consumer costs will rise What presidents can and can't do to lower grocery prices https://www.politico.com/interactives/2024/food-cost-price-harris-trump-biden/

The OP is talking to trump's claim that the US economy today is in the worst shape it has even been, which is clearly false based on statistics presented in the article.

Seems to me the group winning first prize for whining is trump & co.

No. You're using the classic right of centre argument, accusing others of exactly what they are doing as a "look there" deflection attempt.

That's your POV and why I always hesitate to reply to you. You have confirmed my view of you, accordingly will not reply to your baiting any further - good bye
