That “Little Thing Called the Economy” Is Actually Doing Quite Well, Trump
Trump’s campaign is allegedly having a hard time getting him to stop insulting Vice President Harris and focus on policy (in my opinion, their proposed policies suck, so I’m not sure it’d make much difference.) They do seem to like it when he lies about how bad things are under the Biden/Harris administration, so they gave him a bunch of notes full of lies and put him in front of the press yesterday.
I think we should start calling him “sleepy Don”, because even with the notes in front of him, he was struggling to muster up much enthusiasm for the subject. They even gave him props, like a little kid doing a schoolroom “show and tell.” He still could not stay on message.
Before that, Trump seemed pretty spicy about being forced to talk about the economy at a small campaign event in Asheville.
This is from the transcript, not an Onion article:
“Now, this is a little bit different day because this isn’t around, we’re talking about a thing called the economy. They wanted to do a speech on the economy. A lot of people are very devastated by what’s happened with inflation and all of the other things, so we’re doing this as a “intellectual speech”. We’re all intellectuals today. Today we’re doing it, and we’re doing it right now, and it’s very important. They say it’s the most important subject. I think crime is right there, I think the border is right there, personally. We have a lot of important subjects because our country has become a third world nation. We literally are a third world nation. We’re a banana republic, in so many ways, and we’re not going to let that happen, because we’re starting a free fall.”
Banana republic, eh?
I know you’re out of touch, Donald Trump. You live in your little beach club/golf course bubble with no idea of how average Americans live, as evidenced by the weird stuff you say at your rallies about needing ID to buy bread and all that.
