    When Trump took over we had job gains for almost 55+ months straight, a stock market that was up 40%, gdp growth was above 2.5% and unemployment was near record lows.

    What a dipshit comparison. Obama took over a economy that in the middle of a great recession

    The difference was Obama inherited a bad economy, Trump inherited a good one. Again, you cant handle the truth so you resort to worthless argument like this.

    Now you're just bullshiting. Economy where people had to get 2nd jobs just to get by? Economy where inflation skyrocketed? One of the main reasons why Trump got elected (including immigration). You can twist the facts all of you want.

    Which people are you referring to? Inflation was high everywhere,we just had a pandemic, we were better than pretty much every other country in that regard. Immigration...sheesh, you dont know anything about either. Bring me any links from anyone credible if you have any data driven arguments.

    You cant because there are none, you boot licker.

    This is not an argument, I understand a lot of Americans are morons. I asked you to bring facts not polling about how ignorant Americans are.

    What argument did you give about the economy or immigration, nothing. Give them to me. If you are really genuine about having a discussion, provide your arguments.

    In a year you'll be saying it's only been a year.

    In 2 years, you'll say it's because the Democrats have the majority in Congress.

    false equivalency on your part

    obama never promised that, on his first day in office, inflation would stop
    Trump 2.0 did.


    his replay of the tariff war has lead to more inflation pressure, as corroborated by the first PCE/PPI readings in his 2nd term

    ‘Inflation is back,’ Trump says. ‘I had nothing to do with it’

    All trump had to do was take over the Biden econony and take credit for everything. Instead he started a trade war with our neighbors for literally no reason.

    Insanity that these cultists are so brainwashed

    I expect it to not go completely in the toilet over a span of 2+ months. The Q1 GDP projections are now -2.8%

    Q4 was about 2.25%, by the way

    We could have a 3% flat tariff across the board to fund healthcare for every child until the age of 21. Mothers would also get free healthcare until her last child reaches 21. Pregnancies and birth would also be covered.

    If Trump proposed this, it would be a hard no

    Trump Accidentally Insults Himself: ‘Who Would Ever Sign A Thing Like This?’
    “I mean, who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing?” Trump said Monday.
    “On just about anything, every aspect you can imagine, they took advantage.”

    He continued, “I look at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night, and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this?’ So the tariffs will go forward, yes, and we’re gonna
    make up a lot of territory. All we want is reciprocal. We want reciprocity.”

    During Trump 1.0, in 2020, the dotard praised the USMCA in 2020 as the “best agreement we’ve ever made” and lauded it for replacing the “nightmare”
    North American Free Trade Agreement ratified under former President Bill Clinton, calling it the “worst trade deal ever made.”

    So a functional tax to fund healthcare. What a novel idea. Yes I, Mr.FarLeft, would sign off on that, even with it coming from the most foul and insidious T-dog.

    Medicaid currently covers all low income children and pregnant woman in all states. You can even qualify for Medicaid as a parent of a child of Medicaid. So mom and dad.

    So there’s nothing new your idea covers outside of perhaps the low income requirements, and that it ends at 18 instead of 21.
