Wow.

They're actually trying to blame Trump for the pandemic economy crash.

I fear Emily Peck might be suffering from ADHD. The entire article is just a jumble of disjointed talking points.

It was the demo crack mayors and governors who shut down the economy

Wow, Emily!. You have granite level stupidity (dumb as a rock) if you find it puzzling.

Well, in a way, she has a point. If he had ordered Fraudulent Fauci and scarf woman arrested and waterboarded, the WuFlu “pandemic” would have fizzled and the economy would not have tanked.

So the Axios lesson for Trump in the event of a “Disease X Pandemic” is to immediately arrest the top staff of the CDC and the FDA? Seems a bit harsh, but an Axios recommendation should be given some consideration.

The governors had the power...and shut everything down...based on sheer stupidity.

Paul Krugman “economist”. LOL!

We all know that it was states and cities that closed businesses, not Trump. For instance, in my rural county, unemployment did not change at all during the pandemic. Businesses, including local government offices, continued on as usual.

This is rich, Trump gave us the best economy in a generation. Pure propaganda for clueless fools who actually trust Axios.

When the pandemic hit, the jobless rate soared to a record 14.8% — a level not seen since the Great Depression.

That sentence alone explains why we give Trump a pass for unemployment during the pandemic. He didn't cause the pandemic and his economic policies led to record employment growth before the pandemic hit.

I saw one analysis that said that unemployment numbers were exaggerated during the pandemic, and not that many people actually lost jobs. A lot of people started working from home, and it became almost impossible to buy a new office chair.

Why it matters: Trump's economic record is only good if you leave off what happened from March 2020 to the end of his administration

Trump can be faulted for failing to stop the Covid scare which ruined the economy in 2020.

However his competition are the people who pushed the Covid scare in 2020.

So uhm, of course we blame the people that pushed for our downfall over their competition who merely failed to stop the push.

This article writer basically admits their dishonesty / blatantly false narrative - or maybe the author is just that stupid to believe this headline and that it is "puzzling"? Uh, pandemic? That has nothing to do with his economic policies or economic record. Literally admits his record was good until the pandemic hit....then claims it is puzzling to claim Trump had a good economic record?

Yikes...this is so embarrassingly absurd it just makes the head spin.

Why it matters:

I'm really sick of that kind of writing. Report the facts; don't tell us how or what to think. Same thing with "What you need to know" or worse "X-Number of Fast Facts You Need to Know".

What the heck is a "Fast Fact", anyway?

Who believes COVID-19 was a naturally occurring virus? NOBODY. Who believes that it came from eating bats at a wet market in Wuhan? NOBODY. Who remembers all the (now proven) lies that everyone was fed from the “scientists” at the W.H.O. and N.I.H and US D.H.H.S. and the rest of the medical community that was used as a political weapon? EVERYONE. The time for reckoning is upon us.

Following the fine FR tradition of not reading the article, the posted excerpt certainly gives that impression.

Was it even a crash? It was an artificial shutdown. Pathetic.

Sometimes you can just tell the stupid from the sane, by their words alone. This author is truly stupid.
