Today's announcement that the US economy shrank in the first quarter is not good news. We shall see what the next quarter brings.

If we dip into recession, that is always bad for the party in power, regardless of the reason for the recession (it IS the main reason Trump lost in 2020...unfortunate that we had to have a recession to get that POS out of office, but he had a good chance of being re-elected without that recession).

So, today some of you Trumpers can crow if you wish. Seems silly to me, but that's your low level of thinking, so I get it.

If you were really being honest with yourselves though, 2022 was already almost for sure going to swing heavily toward Republicans even without a potential recession. You would have been much better off with a recession leading up to 2024 than 2022. Recessions don't typically come every other year, so if we have one in 2022, it's not likely we will have another one in 2024, though we DID just have one in 2020, so it could happen.

Under Trump 191,000 new jobs were being created each month.

Inflation never went above 1.75%. Biden took the 1.75% and more than quadrupled it to its current 8.5%.

The unemployment rate went from a high of 10% under Obama down to 3.5% under Trump.

Real median household income was higher under Trump than at any time under the Obama presidency.

The stock market soared under Trump. Under Biden it is now tanking.

The number of Covid deaths in 2020 under Trump was lower than the number of Covid deaths under Biden in 2021 even though Trump had no vaccines and Biden had 3 that Trump handed to him.

Sally, really? Come on now. Get serious.

Trump was the biggest LOSER of jobs and the first President to leave office with fewer jobs than when he started since Hoover. WTF are you talking about?

Obama left office with an unemployment rate of 4.7%...who cares how high it had been? He started his first term in the recession that Bush handed him, but nothing but up started in March of his first year, and then by October the unemployment rate began to fall all the way to FULL EMPLYOYMENT (considered that at 5%) of 4.7% by the time he handed over a great economy to Trump.

Income is almost always higher under the next President, because people typically get raises annually, so Meh to that.

The market did better under Obama than Trump, and so far under Biden it hasn't been great. I give neither credit nor blame for market rise and fall to ANY President, and you shouldn't either.

COVID? Really? Um...OK. The reason we were able to fully open up nationwide is that Biden made it a priority to get shots into arms. The pandemic was still raging when Trump was booted out of the White House, so to pin COVID deaths on Biden is insane.

Inflation is a direct cause of the pandemic. Pent-up consumer spending and supply chain issues. No policies of either Trump or Biden are the cause of the inflation.

I really hope you were just hoping for a response from me (because I know your self worth depends on that) and not that you actually believe the crap you just tried to spew, because if it's the latter, then there is no hope for you.

Of course we won't have a recession in 2024. Republicans will control both houses of Congress and will have negated the damage that Biden has done and will continue to attemp to do to the American economy. The grown-ups will be back in charge.

nah not really fair on the bolded - biden did jam more money into the system than seems prudent, looking back. That fueled a giant boom in 2021 (good!) but now some (not all of course) of this inflation is the result of that money-drop. (bad!)

But I will say that if not for COVID's messing up supply chains, the inflation would be lower, so there is that.

And it's totally dishonest for the mag/s to criticize the inflation but not give credit to biden for the boom. You want to blame for one, you have to give credit for the other.
