ELECTION 2020

[Rootilda]

If you want to argue intelligently about Trump being bad for the economy, argue long-long term. He's lowered corporate taxes (increasing the profits of American businesses), imposed tariffs on Chinese goods (driving up demand for American manufacturing), and reworked a trade agreement with North America (increasing intellectual property rights, giving incentives for domestic car production, and lowering taxes on American goods for Canadians.) These are all positives for the American economy. The only smart anti-Trump argument is that he's pulled these levers to boost the current economy, which means they can't be used to pull the U.S. out of a recession in the future. You could lower taxes from 30% to 20%, I guess, but there's less cushion so it lowers the effectiveness. The U.S. economy is on like year 12 of expansion when you're supposed to have contraction every 5-8 years.

To say "Oh no actually Forbes says he's bad for the economy!"... that's just dumb. Delusional, politically driven, spun bullshit. Wall Street Journal or bust, first of all. Second of all... NO. Just wake up. He's an asshole, but he's helped the economy.

How about this one?
