“The thing that underlines every strong economy is consistency and progress, and things that promote confidence, and I just don’t see any of those attributes being displayed on a disciplined, routine basis by the White House,” said Chuck Coughlin, a veteran Republican strategist in Arizona who leads the public affairs firm HighGround. “Most of the country is looking at the president, going: ‘What is he doing?’”
This is all self-inflicted. He's f%cking everything up.
‘What is he doing?’: New threats emerge for Trump’s economy as war drags on - POLITICO
Just over six months until midterms early voting begins. Does anyone think this will go well for Republicans?
What exactly does f#cking everything up mean? Is the world ending? Quit posting this childish f#cking nonsense and share some of your own thoughts. We have all figured out how to use google and can locate articles on our own. I don't need you and sh#t for brains @hhlurker spamming every thread with this sh#t.
How is his post any different than your post that started this thread?
When you share your nonsense, it is ok 😉
So, the economy is f#cked up? Is that what you're saying? ... Answer the questions.
yes, it is, or is at least strongly trending that way. I thought that we were headed for $5 gas, but it's already here (paid $5.01 for premium, today). Where's it headed? $10? Can you imagine what that will do to the price of virtually EVERYTHING?

The average price is 3.88 today. Gas isn't going to 10 dollars. Fade anyone who tells you that. Demand destruction would kick in well before that happens and we produce too much oil for it to happen. By the way it peaked at 5 dollars in June 22. Was the economy screwed then?

According to many, yes it was.

When you resort to insults and personal attacks, you've lost the argument. I'll give you another chance, though.
Trump has fucked up the economy with illegal tariffs and now this war. I've posted plenty of sources to back that up and I'll post one more below, citing an economist who I believe you've previously expressed approval of. Now it's your turn. Refute my argument with a credible source, not some social media influencer with limited or no credentials.

Not too many Democrats. You guys still expanded your majority in the senate at midterms. And inflation topped out at 9% that year. Surprisingly, I never heard liberals or any liberals saying the economy was f#cked on here.
Gas isn't going to 10 dollars.
It's gone up $1.15 in what, 2.5 weeks? Price rises are speeding up rather than slowing down, and if you think this war is going to be all wrapped up in another month, I have some development land in central Florida to sell you.

We can circle back to this and see who is right. Thanks for posting an objective measure.

Then you weren't listening. The world economy was a total mess. Ours was too. The only positive to say was that we had it better than some and that we didn't suffer the unemployment spikes and widespread business failures to the same extent. But Joe telling us everything was hunky-dory with the economy was a clearer sign of his reduced mental state than even his debate performance.

You haven't posted anything objective. Explain what f#cked up economy means with something we can measure and I'll respond.
@snarlcakes LOL. My sources will never be "objective" in your estimation because you don't like the content.
You apparently don't understand how argumentation works. Person A makes a claim and provides support for it. Person B argues against it, with evidence to support their disagreement. You're Person B. The burden is on you to refute what I've said and, once again, you've failed to do that.
My source, the reputable and respected Financial Times, quotes Antoni, an economist you used to like, from the Heritage Foundation. A Trump ally.
You're not a serious poster. I'm done with you.

So Republicans don't count?
Seems about right.

This makes me feel loved 😁 If gas gets over 5 dollars, inflation close to 9%, and wages start to decrease (adjusted for inflation) I'll have no problem admitting it's a dogshit economy.

You made a claim that the economy was f#cked. I asked you to clarify what you meant. You refused and posted articles. Par for the course.
Fed board members now expect inflation to end the year at 2.7%, up from the 2.4% they were predicting in December.
Board chair Powell said that increase was due to the "oil shock" from Trump's war and concerns that the US has not yet seen the last of price rises triggered by the tariffs Trump put in place last year.
Thanks, Trump.
