Was the economy really good in Trump's first term? If you watched/listened to the mainstream media, you would think it was a great economy & Trump media surrogates went out of their way to promote even mediocre economic news as amazing & were rarely challenged by the media.

Facts say otherwise 1/9

Not just that, Chris Wray - Trump's hand-picked FBI Director - was the one in charge of the FBI.

Trump's dementia is so bad that he does not remember that he was President on January 6, 2021 and watched the insurrectionists he invited to violence. President Trump watched his Proud Boys, Oathkeepers that he arranged to attack the Capitol Building to keep Congress from certifying electoral votes

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

More here - prior to 1980, funding gaps did NOT lead to government shutdowns.

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

Funding gaps where no workers were laid off/furloughed are different than shutdowns where agencies are shut down and non-essential services are stopped or greatly curtailed.

There was one shutdown under Carter - in 1980 - and it lasted for one day. And, that was only the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) - not the entire government.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Have you been on Ebay lately? "Customer pays import tariff" warnings on nearly every listing. The very note His Magasty bullied Amazon out of including on theirs.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

No money flowing to USAID and hardly any to PEPFAR despite their duly enacted funding; well north of twenty billion dollars being deployed for other weird hair autocrats. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
