It finally happened. A liberal outlet got around to saying this was President Donald Trump’s economy, but only because it’s being wrecked by the Wuhan coronavirus. In an April 29, Politico Playbook PM newsletter, which aggregates top headlines, Politico had this disgusting headline take the #2 spot in its list written in all caps: “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S CORONAVIRUS ECONOMY."

The market was about 18,000 when Trump became President. The market got really close to 30,000 and employment was the lowest for all time.

The ‘Great Recession’ was due to electing what many perceived as a Socialist to the Presidency, many owners just walked away from their businesses knowing the tax and regulated future was upon us.

‘Great Recession’ no, the election resulted in a expanded recession. People know when Socialist are elected no matter what Biden tried telling Barbara West in that interview about not being Socialist.
