Besides tariffs and “drill baby drill”, I couldn’t name a single one of his economic policies.
Well, one reason is you can’t say the economy is doing “very badly” then turn around and sell $100k watches, sneakers, NFT’s, etc…
You are probably getting it opposite. It’s Harris losing her edge among voters on the economy!
Maybe, and just bear with me on this, people are starting to realize that inflation is a GLOBAL issue that the entire world has been struggling with since COVID rather than something Biden/Harris created?
Meanwhile, maybe they are starting to realize that job growth, earnings growth, unemployment, GDP growth, stock market performance, and child poverty are all better under Biden/Harris than they were under Trump and having the world’s strongest economic recovery from COVID is helping to lessen the impact of the global inflationary cycle?
I know there are a ton of people who can’t look beyond the price of groceries in 2019 compared to 2024, regardless of the cause, but there are others that realize these issues are a bit more complicated than that.
Maybe because of that mountain of debt he racked up last time around
Trump is doing fine and I think he wins in a landslide based on the voters registration trends.
Because “Tariffs Tariffs Tariffs” has the same effect as “Marcia Marcia Marcia”.
That said somebody made a good point, Trump speaks at about a 3rd grade level. There are millions of people who can’t understand a word coming out of Harris’ mouth because she speaks at an 8th, sometimes even 9th or 10th grade level…
There is a theory that Trump’s popularity is because of that. That his rambling works because of it.
What should be happening is the journalists should help those folks understand the threat that Trump is to them.
But there’s all that sweet, sweet ad revenue….
Hillary by a land slide again lol.
