Everything started to suck when Biden became president and Trump warned us that this would happen. Prices for everything inflated homes are only for huge corps to purchase yeah great great administration. They were better under trump and thats a fact. I’m not looking to make history with a women president I’m looking to make money for my future self and family. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] the_brownie@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) This take is so incredibly bad I'm almost thinking that you're a troll. "Everything was good under Trump 😊" -> "Everything was bad under Biden 😡" therefore Trump good, Biden bad is probably the most juvenile and pathetic logical fallacy that persists in our shared political thought. I'm not sure if you remember, but there was a little thing called COVID that happened which shocked supply lines, trade, took a huge toll on our collective mental health, and created an economic crisis. Acting like Biden caused that is so ridiculous, I have a hard time believing that even you believe that. You could argue that Biden handled the recovery poorly (and I don't think that's a bad argument), but then you'd have to compare it with how Trump would have handled such a recovery -- something we really don't know. Given his contempt for the working class it is doubtful it would be any better, and there was plenty of room for it to be actively worse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] NastyNative@mander.xyz -7 points 2 years ago Im going by past experience and the Trump administration was better for the American people.

To the extent that inflation and everything ultimately got away from us, that started mostly under Trump's watch, but even then I don't think I can blame Trump for the bad economy stuff, except maybe the degree to which he escalated trade war with China, but Biden has been happy to continue it. I don't see Trump or the GOP willing to go against those huge corps for the sake of the common man, generally I see quite the opposite. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NastyNative@mander.xyz -4 points 2 years ago We cant tell the future, Im going by the past and what I experienced during the Trump administration. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) In the kind of world you're trying to usher in, your money isn't going to save you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NastyNative@mander.xyz -5 points 2 years ago (1 child) They have you believing that trump will be like a putin.
