How is that on Trump?


Trump can't get all the credit when something goes well, but deflects when it doesn't.

I know that's what he does, but you should be able to see through that.

Never trust a moderate democrat during the election cycle.

Never trust a fiscally responsible conservative during the election cycle.

These are two things that I've preached to my kids for decades.

Trump's fiscal policy was so successful in 2020 that they had to release a global virus to bring him down.

Things aren't as great now due to several circumstances, but to pretend he doesn't know about fiscal policy after proven success is just buying into the talking points.

By the end of his term, I am guessing that all the hand wringing will be for naught.

Trump has been a disappointment on the fiscal level

But hey, he’s getting a new ballroom. Fiddle while Rome burns

Rates won't be 3% again. It got that low due to quantitive easing of fed rates.

What's not to love about Biden's spending?

Nobody said Biden or a Democrat would be better but we sure the frick can criticize the mistakes hes making this time around. He campaigned on bringing prices down and the first thing he does is pass a bunch of tariffs that raised prices and now he has to refund because courts blocked them. and now he starts a war before mid terms that has bonds and oil through the roof.
Trump 2016 was way better than this one

With a cooperative Congress, Trump would be more fiscally responsible.
Are you OK, man? Seriously? You think Trump is trying desperately to primary Massie because he won't go along with spending restraints?

Please show me anything that indicates Trump wants to cut spending.

We've yet to see the full fruits of JD Vance's domestic program. Hopefully, Vance can clean up a lot of the ongoing, very expensive fraud in public systems.

This is very important, but it’s not going to be a big factor in fixing the federal deficit. There isn’t enough fraud to come close to fixing that.
