Data doesn’t support repeated claims by the White House of an economic boom in the US under President Trump.

    I expect all his policy to be shit. So when it’s always shit I’m never surprised. Because he is a grifting carpetbagging sack of flaming shit. A tragic waste of functioning organs. The world’s most notorious oxygen thief. Also he is a fucking moron. If there was a photo negative of Mensa where stupid motherfuckers competed to see who the dumbest motherfucker of all the dumb motherfuckers was, he’d be it’s lifetime appointed leader.

      Funny you should bring up Mensa… Not the brightest people, more like a bizarre cult. He would fit right in.

          Lol so true. I had to help a group of them figure out how to use a key card to a hotel room, then heard Jamie Loftus podcast on them and it all made sense.

    The crazy part is it really doesn’t shatter anyone’s expectations. Everyone expected it. Either the magidiots already believing it’s great and everyone else who knew it would be shit and we weren’t surprised.

    Well, if he expected a total Crash and instead got only mild recession, it still “shatters expectations”

    Clearly, he’s talking about the expectations he had for himself vs going to jail. I’m just as surprised.

      You can negatively “shatter expectations”

        Trump fell into his current position of power simply because of his ability to effortlessly frame the fall of the US Empire as putting America first. While in reality, it’s all just a distraction to cover for billionaires hoarding more and more wealth while the rest of us continue to struggle more and more.

        We usually use the word “disappointing” but a competent writer can put a positive spin on anything.

      We need a new term for this level of willful ignorance.

      Here are a few: “Unfitness for office.” “Criminal incompetence.” “Deliberate economic sabotage.” “Dictatorship of the scum of the earth.” “Kakistocracy.”

    It did shatter expectations. It’s supposed to be good, but it’s crap.
