“...it must be the result of sheer dumb luck.”
Or maybe that their agenda isn’t panning out even though they have made a concerted effort to sabotage Trump’s efforts. Calling it dumb luck when it turned a destroyed economy almost completely around in less than a year that took democrats over a half century to destroy to control the citizens is either stupid or just flat lying.
The biggest tool was the lies right after the 2000 election about the Fanny and Freddie housing funds by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and then pulling the rug out from under the lenders and loanees destroying the maintaining of home ownership and trying to Blame Bush for it. And the Biden administration harmed the economy recently through increased inflation and national debt, higher interest rates, and a decrease in real wages. Not every one of the employed in the US wants to do fast food.

They need to stop taking story advise from Paul Krugman.
Who or what is a Victoria Guida?
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
Nice, I like that. It dovetails perfectly with my all-time best investment, real estate.
You ask if "the experts” were lying or just dumb"... I'm guessing the bimbo and her friends ONLY talk to 'liberal elite experts' who give them the same BS answers they want to hear. AND that my friend is stupid.
Just because he managed to out-maneuver New York industrialists and organized crime figures (many in political office) to reach billionaire status by age thirty, author a best-seller and become an uber-successful media figure, then run for and win the presidency (at least) twice doesn’t mean he’s not the incompetent buffoon AOC and others say he is./s
Mediocre minds think other people’s good fortune is due to good luck. They don’t understand that there is a reason why things happen — and their lives are not just a random crapshoot of bad luck.
So they believe that if they just protest loud enough, bad things won’t happen — and never that wise, successful people make good things happen. That is the story of human evolution (history) — and not that shit just happens, and how it got on Joe Biden’s pants and the streets of San Francisco (Portland, Seattle, et al), is one of life’s great mysteries.
“Success is as success does.” We’re lucky to have a leader who knows what he is doing. That is preferable to maintaining a smug superiority by having an incompetent president we have to tell “Go left, go right, Don’t fall off the stage. Don’t wander into the jungle.”
Just so they can retain their sense of moral superiority and outrage. Better they should do something useful — for a change of occupations.

Fortune favors the bold.
I claim no qualifications on economic issues. What I know is this: Every single time DJT advances an economic plan, 98% of all the “experts”, on both sides of the aisle, shout that he’s a naive dunce who simply can’t comprehend the way that things work, this is the death knell of civilization, and the Dow will be below zero in a month. And a month later, we’re still here. And six months later, things are getting better. And a year and a half after that, everything that DJT predicted has come to pass, and none of what the Experts predicted has come to pass.
I don’t need a degree to know who to follow. The degrees haven’t served anyone very well.
They do not have the intelligence to clean bathrooms must less speak of economics.
