“The economy is strong as hell!” Uh, DOHkay branDUHn. Guess if someone else (us) is picking’ up the tab........ 🐎💩
That or create a crisis ...only they can “fix”
“Joe Biden and the Democrats want you to believe you’re not really seeing what you’re seeing.”
she might look good now, but wait until the morning........
No shortage of Neocon gaslighting here when it comes to Ukraine. Sickening.
And they also want people to see things that didn’t actuslly happen, like the faux insurrection that wasn’t an insurrection.
They sure are tryin' hard!
This guy fails to appreciate how stupid, ignorant, and gullible most people are.
They cannot. Its beyond their control at this point.
A more complete quote: (potentially paraphrasing, recalling from memory) “I am not concerned about the strength of the dollar. I am concerned about the rest of the world. The economy is strong as hell!”
I am fairly confident that Biden doesn’t understand anything about the dollar’s strength. He wouldn’t be able to tell by a chart/quote. He wouldn’t know that strength is relative to another currency. He doesn’t understand the implications of a strong or weak dollar.
By the way, the dollar is stronger now than in many years against major world currencies. Current quote for EUR/USD: 0.98343. If you are unfamiliar with how to read currency pair quotes, the second of the pair, is the quoted. In this example, the US dollar. The first of the pair is the base. In simple terms, given the quoted amount, you can get exactly one of the base amount. So you can get 1 Euro for about 98 cents this morning.
Is that strong? Weak? Neutral? It’s a hell of a lot stronger than it was a year ago. But is nearly a one to one exchange strong? How does that effect trade with Europe? How does that effect tourism in the US from Europe?
There are no simple answers since the EURUSD is just one indicator. It’s an important one, but other things like inflation make a difference. For instance, you didn’t see the price of European cars dropping 20+% in the last year because of a strengthen US dollar.
The point here is there are many moving parts to the economy and those parts each have multiple ways to measure them.
Joe Biden doesn’t care about the US dollar, probably because he doesn’t understand it. He doesn’t even know the questions to ask. Biden has surrounded himself with people that are economic morons. Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, might know how strong the dollar is, but she thought inflation was transitory. Biden didn’t know the right questions to ask when he selected her for appointment. Just as bad, Senators didn’t know the right question for confirmation.
Joe Biden is incapable of forming domestic economic policy, trade policy, foreign policy, and even energy (oil is traded in US dollars worldwide) policy because he doesn’t know or care about the US dollar. The people surrounding Biden cannot either. Biden cares not for America, but he cares about the rest of the world. His words, not mine.
Contrast Biden with Trump. I am pretty darn sure that Trump understands these thing because he has done business internationally and he has a degree in finance from Wharton. He at least knows the right questions to ask.
That may be the biggest one of all.
That and "if you get vaccinated, you cannot get sick with COVID".
Almost certainly with the help of a corrupted MSM! See for instance, someone with a record such as Hillary capture the popular vote when she ran for the WH and see also the way it covers the stolen election.
It can be quite difficult for the typically busy American voter, preoccupied with the struggle to stay afloat, to keep track of, sort out and understand just what is happening to the nation. And this in the face of a seemingly benign but aggressive, internationally fueled anti-MAGA force.
Drilling for oil in the United States causes catastrophic climate change. If Ukraine or OPEC drills, it’s fine.
That is what we heard and were a little taken aback for a second then remembered who we were hearing. And, we know people who whole heartedly support this bunch.
They cannot. Its beyond their control at this point.
. . . . . .
I don’t know… Lots of die hard liberals willing to keep blind for the democrats. It’s really sickening to see here in WA State. Country is on fire and they blame Trump.
Rats have been successfully gaslighting the voters for decades…what is different…
We’ve been being gaslighted on voter fraud for nearly two years (and most Americans are content to accept the feint) so what do you think?
20 months ago, there was no inflation, we were energy independent, the border was secure, there were no new foreign wars in 4 years, supply chains were not disrupted, “family friendly” drag shows for children was not a thing, the average price of gas at the pump was $2.17, all during the height of the overhyped planned pandemic (Dr. Fauci predicted it 2 years earlier). It’s amazing how much damage can be done in such a short time by the election of one man and a media that doesn’t give a damn about anything he does.
