For what it’s worth, you can’t tell people their paychecks are getting bigger when they aren’t. Biden presided over a “great economy” but wages stagnated and buying power decreased. Trump is going to Strangelove-ride this economy into a pit so deep it’ll be hard to convince people that everything is roses.

Trump doesnt need to manipulate much. I live in deep red country. They are upset that fox has "completely changed" and they want to go to newsmax instead.

They are soooo fucking close to getting it. But the propaganda seed has already been planted.

"With Sleepy Joe Biden, nobody had cardboard, it was so hard to get, terrible economy, everybody said so, even the Democrats. Now you look around this great nation of ours, under my plan, everybody has cardboard. Everybody. Look at any sidewalk, every person has a big piece of cardboard they can write on. Everybody is willing to work, it says so on the cardboard that everybody can get now."

People are still gonna notice that they can't afford groceries.

Dude just wiped billions of the economy, and he still thinks he's going to be alive next year. Honestly, Russia got what they needed out of him. Just just a liability for them at this point

Cannot wait for the bothsiderists to claim how donvict doing things to actively crash the economy and then gaslight about it is equivalent to how terrible it was for Biden/Kamala to speak about an economy that was "the envy of the world".

We've gone full circle from "Eggs are too high" to "Eggs are fine just shut up about it".

Man I can't wait for Trump to tell me that our wages being the same as they are since 2020 is actually a good thing when rent and groceries are going up, so we have even less purchasing power.

Chocolate rations have been increased to 20g a week.

You can fool some people sometime, but you can't fool all the people all the time

Not surprisingly, he is a narcissist. https://youtu.be/cmTeg0B9tH8

Is this going to be different from the gaslighting that we've been receiving for the last four years that things are good? So far, one of the few things good to come out of the Trump administration is liberals finally admitting that the economy sucks, But they tend to think it started just a month ago.

The Us already does this. This is only news if you think Biden was any different.

Genocide Joe told us the economy was doing awesome too.

The pseudo-science of "economics" is a fundamental tool of capitalist control. The subjective measurements of politicians are worthless. Why the fuck do I care about the "gross domestic product" when it's literally destroying the planet, we're all being paid shit, and I live in a concentration camp for opposing genocide?

Its not a good thing but I dont think it will really gaslight the public. The average persons understanding of if their countries economy is doing well or not boils down to "do i feel richer or poorer than last election?"

Despite what some might think of bidenomics, which showed by most traditional metrics that the US economy was improving and recovering well from the pandemic, people still felt the economy was doing poorly because they felt poor.. Because a lot of people now are poorer than previous generations. Which of course those tradtitional metrics dont really take into account that people get paid fuck all now, but my point is just that the official numbers dont mean a lot to the average voter.
