Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit its worst level during his two terms in office, with more than six in 10 Americans disapproving of the president’s job performance.
Trump’s rating is at its worst on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.
Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.
I love asking these idiots what they think was so bad about about “the Biden economy”.
I keep hearing all the apparatchiks claim it was a so awful, etc. They just state it as some fact everyone accepts. And yes, dumbass redcaps do. But just try asking them what was so bad, and more importantly, precisely what Democratic/Biden policy caused this supposed awfulness.
You’ll get crickets.
The truth is the economy was on a good path by the time Biden left. But that’s always the pattern - the Republicans drive things into the ditch, and if the adults (in other words, the Democrats) don’t fix things nearly immediately, they get blamed for it and all the dumbass voters will put the cons back in again.
Yup. My mother-in-law will “what if” and “both sides” you to death.
I’ve lived in Red country all my life. People who are too proud to admit they need help. People too selfish to help others who need help.
I just saw a clip where Steve Scalise says we were “handed a disaster a year and a half ago”, LOL. He claims gas was almost $6 a gallon two years ago and 3-something now, ROTFLMAO.
This guy - and so many like him - are either severely delusional or think those watching them are. Thankfully, it was CNBC, so he got a (very mild) fact check on that load of horseshit.
Gas average right now is $4.54/gal, 2 years ago it was about $3.50 or so.
These people do bald-face lying about simple things like gas prices, no wonder they can get away with gigantic whoppers about “the economy”.
