We all know full well his last term ushered in an unprecedented period of world peace. Peace through strength an a little smatter of wild unpredictability due to Trump being driven by his love of America rather than Biden who as we know was money motivated(an awful weakness as it left him compromised to tragic consequence)

Abraham accords were miraculous, after Trumps predecessors set the region on fire. Lil Kim shut up and rolled over to have his belly tickled. It went so well, contrary to the lefts narrative until the whole gain of fauci fiasco. Hope they dont do that again, no matter how triggered by world peace they are....

Kinda hard to argue against the progress already made in the last 4 years and it will continue as a normal function of economics for a number of months under Trump although he'll try to take credit for it if it continues and blame others if he screws it up. It'll be hard to improve but easy for him to F up. 

 

Under President Biden in 2024, the U.S. economy :

Economic Growth

• GDP Growth: The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 2.8% in the third quarter of 2024.

Employment

• Job Creation: The economy added 16 million jobs during Biden's term, marking the highest job creation in any single presidential term.

• Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate has remained low, contributing to a strong labor market.

Inflation

• Inflation Rate: Inflation has moderated from its peak of 9% to 2.4%, although it remains a concern for many Americans.

Consumer Spending and Income

• Personal Income: Personal income increased by 0.6% in October 2024.

• Consumer Spending: Consumer spending also saw an increase, reflecting continued economic activity.

Corporate Profits

• Corporate Profits: Corporate profits have increased by 36% during Biden's presidency.

Trade and Investment

• Trade Deficit: The U.S. current-account deficit widened to $266.8 billion in the second quarter of 2024.

• Investment: There has been substantial investment in manufacturing and clean energy, contributing to economic growth.

Other Indicators

• Health Insurance: The number of uninsured people decreased by 6.6 million.

• Crime Rates: Violent crime has decreased, with a 9.1% drop in murders from 2020 to 2023.

It's already screwed up.

Hopefully a collection of egotistical wannabees that kick Democrat and liberal butts into touch.

I don't know that Trump has "triggered chaos in anticipation", but he's certainly making a few Euro leaders stressed out, which is a good thing IMO.

 

He's not even POTUS yet and he's got the Mexican president making noises about preventing illegals crossing into the US, rather than helping them get there. All good.

You fit my description to a T.

If you had any clue you would understand what was written.  The economic issue you claim are bidens started under Trump as a result of covid and continued on into bidens tenure. So to blame Biden for it is inaccurate but thats what trumpette do, twist the truth.

 

Did Trump create covid, no but it started in his watch and all the follow on was from the reaction dealing with it his agenda.

 

If you cant understand the time line you need to stop posting comments that you cant back up. The only pathetic one is you with your continual denial of what Trump has done in the past and your deflecting his actions to others. Go take your medication as you really need it. Don't reply to me on this as you have no credibility and it's a waste of energy even reading your bs let alone replying to your idiotic posts.

This is a reality.  It is a problem developed over decades by both parties and the bill is coming due.  It might be insurmountable and the US might ge headed into a forced change in how it taxes and spends.

 

But what really killed me about this headline was - already great economy?  Bwahahahaha.

 

It is for the rich in stock markets (thank you) but working people have far less financial security and spending power than they did 4 years ago and it isn't headed the right way.  Perhaps Trump's changes will energize the US economy.  Perhaps not.  But it is a flat out LIE that this is a great economy.

 

I have no degree in economics but I have less confidence in the DEM ideas than the GOP ideas regarding how an economy works.  I think we have over-regulated and frightened some major components of the economy into pulling back.  The fossil fuel industry for example.  We shall see.

 

One of the real confusions comes from the fact the many can't or don't know the difference between the stock market performance and the actual economy. Congress needs to be held accountable as they are they governing body responsible for all US spending. When they rubber stamp any and all bills giving away money like its water to any and every country it's no wonder the financial situation is where it is. Doesn't matter who's the president the deck is stacked against them try to navigate an intelligent path forward. Unfortunately, trump is not capable and with his intent on dismantling a variety of agencies or put a$$ kissers in to "run" them the writing is on the wall.

You don't factor in the impact of what Trump did in his last service and the carry on effect that lasts for months afterward. His handling of covid set the stage for the massive inflation many like to blame Biden for. Certainly he didn't create covid but his handling of it was horrible. He ignored warnings at the onset from China at the very beginning  and he is the one the started the funding for vaccine development under Warp Speed ignoring normal protocols and encouraged the Fed Reserve on monetary policy. Don't forget the debacle in most every agency where he appointed unqualified individuals to run them and his back channel disclosure of sensitive information to his ambassadors in Europe in unsecured communication.  So yeah you're cherry picking your data and not including significant issues or the recovery to job creation and reversal of unemployment among other issues. But you go with your narrative if that makes you feel better.  Here's a little perspective of who you worship

Did I say disasterous anywhere in what I wrote? No I did not. I posted facts, you should try that some time. Its ok your head wont explode.

 

Read what I wrote in the context I wrote it in and stop being so thick.  The negative economic effects all you trumpers blame on Biden were actually from trump responses to covid. Covid was an unforeseen situation with no historical reference on how best to handle it. But stop deflecting his actions and the resulting impact on someone else, its asinine and shows your lack of comprehension

Go back and read what I wrote unless you cant read English. I think I was clear it wasn't trumps fault for the covid virus. BUT It was on his watch that the economy made a dramatic downturn as a result of covid. But fools that worship Trump want to try to blame Biden and fault him for that economic impact.

 

It has nothing to do with left or right politics its just a fact. The truth hurts but its still the truth.

Actual economy is different for all. Actual economy impacts how one votes.  Anyone remember the phrase "it's the economy stupid".  The actual economy sunk a second Bush Sr term.  The actual economy for the next 3.5 years will impact who is in the White House in 2029.  I wonder if this booming Biden economy would have made a difference if the Democrat candidate was not named Harris?

Why was Operation Warp Speed a bad thing unless you believe making an effective COVID vaccine available ASAP was not a priority?

I recall that most of the world was in panic.  Or perhaps you believe time was NOT of the essence. Or maybe you believe vaccines do not work.  IMO, overriding existing protocol was the right thing to do.  This cut the normal development  time from years to months.  Or do you believe expediency was not important.

I spoke about the economic impact and the fact that trumpettes continue to blame that  impact on Biden when it was a trump action, so go back and read what I wrote if you're confused.

 

The funding for those vaccine developments was from the US but the profits for selling them went to the companies not the US funded. 

 

As for expediting the process their are protocols for testing and validation that were completely bypassed. I worked directly in the industry for 25 years as Regulatory Compliance Agent to the FDA so have a bit of understanding of what went on.
