To hear President-elect Donald J. Trump tell it, he is about to take over a nation ravaged by crisis, a desolate hellscape of crime, chaos and economic hardship. “Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World!” he declared on social media last week.
But by many traditional metrics, the America that Mr. Trump will inherit from President Biden when he takes the oath for a second time, two weeks from Monday, is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since George W. Bush came into office in 2001.

For the first time since that transition 24 years ago, there will be no American troops at war overseas on Inauguration Day. Except for the ones fighting in Ukraine.

I see the NYT as a disaster. And the Washington Post. And the LAT, CNN, MSNBC, etc.

The liberals play the game is that they leave clean up duty the conservatives. It associates conservatives with bad news, while leaving liberals unscathed.
There is no question that they have timed bad news with Trump’s administration.

The Numbers Tell a Different Story. This is of my requests for Trump and a MAGA platform - give America REAL statistics.
Government creation and reporting of statistics has become overtly political
Crime, inflation, real interest rates, unemployment, labor market, health statistics, energy - ALL are manipulated by woke, DC Bureaucrats.

I wonder if the author likes to “bake” peters in his “oven”.

The NYT can only see as far as their rectum and things closer, in between. That is what happens when they put their heads up there and refuse to see truth.

Orwell, indeed.
The NYT continues to be under the delusion that anyone outside of manhattan cares what they have to say about anything.

There are certainly US military targeting ATACMS missile attacks on Russia for starters.

LOL
Oh, of course, because Dems always leave things better.
Need we remind them of the little recession that was going on that Fall 2000? Klintoon?
But they never fail to recall W’s little recession in Fall 2008.
