Keep praying for the economic miracle libs.

I’d much rather the warnings be heeded, the damage controlled, and a recession aborted than sweep up after Republicanomics again.

You do realize that Trump’s mental breakdown the past couple days is directly linked to him worried about the economy right?

Miracle?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yes…Miracle. That’s what libs are praying on.

And this is spot-on as well. Trump and his aides are all worried about the one positive that Trump has had going for him. Look at what Mulvaney said (with Kushner and Ivanka in attendance) at a GOP fundraiser, about the pending recession and how they believe it will come, but only be short-lived. They see the writing on the wall as well.

Many libs predicted trump tax cuts and trade war would blow up the deficit and â– â– â– â–  up the economy. No miracle. Just common sense

Yes, the rest of the world is having economic problems… Which effects us. Thanks to Trump we are still expanding… They need to follow Trumps ideas. Europe needs to stop making themselves poorer because of “climate change”.

Taking on China is the moral thing to do. They have a history of mass murder as bad or worse than most unfettered socialist nations. Not much difference between them and the national socialists…

Indeed. It shows how long and how pervasive the disconnect from reality truly is with some of these folks. Tribalism and a hatred of the “other” has caused worms to grow where most of their brains used to be.

It says right in the article it’s because of the rest of the world, not us… It’s a world economy. When the rest of the world rebounds, we’ll benefit even more from Trumps policy…

Do dems have any ideas?..

It’s not like I spouted Russian collusion nonsense for 3 years like the TV told me too…LMAO!

Always, always, always someone else’s fault. What happened to the party of personal responsibility? (No need to answer that. I know what happened.)

There was no Russian collusion it was only perpetrated because of Tribalism and a hatred of the “other”…
