Yes, Biden didn't artificially make number go up. But he definitely didn't mess up the economy. In a global look at the economy the US fared better than most other countries in what was a global downturn after the post-COVID free-money boom tailed off.

So rather than doing the bare minimum amount of research into who would be leading the country for four years, you just figured "dude was a businessman, I'm sure it'll be fine."

Imagine what life would be like under the other person probably troops in the Ukraine and restrictions on AI. With no good choices it doesn't matter who you vote for because they all represent the uniparty and you aren't part of that.

There's zero indication Harris would have put US boots on the ground in Ukraine or more onerous AI restrictions than Trump.

And neither of those things comes close to causing a recession from a war of choice, or all the illegal tariffs.

The other unknowable question is: Would Harris have bombed Iran?

wtf is wrong with trump serioulsy. This guys simple wanted to create chaos everywhere. I thought he would come and fix the economy because the previous administration messed it up. Then this guy comes and makes it even worse

Why did you think that Biden had messed up the economy?

He's always been like this. Glad you eventually learned. Some other people don't.

There were people telling you this the whole time, so it might be a good idea to think hard about why you didn't listen to them.

everyone starts somewhere. Maybe the guy is 18 under this Trump and voting for the first time, so 14 under Biden and 10 under last Trump

There wouldn't be rampant government corruption with a different leadership. It's your two party system at its best. The one part brings stupidity, guns and chaos to the party and the other part cleans up afterwards.

You really should purge the corrupt politicians before doing anything else.
