The next time you hear Trump and his enablers tout the economy, here are a few facts you can remind them of.

Nothing will get better with him in charge. Things will only worsen, and spouting utter nonsense about the economy is not going to cut it. Everyone knows someone who has been battered hard by 2020, even if they have not been directly effected economically or health wise. Living through a pandemic is hard work, living through a pandemic when the supposed leader of the free world thinks he can gas light his way out of it makes it much harder. These numbers need to be shoved in the face of every MAGA Trump supporting covidiot out there.

2. K&R!

5. Obfuscation

This is the strategy I adhere to, everyone knew what a jerk he was in 2016. It's what he's done and what has happened on his watch that may sway people. Obfuscation of what would be his role of being the leader of the Free World by following logic and science at home and abroad is unforgiveable and an embarrassment

6. When Trump leaves office the economy is going to

be just like when Bush left office. In shambles.

7. Yeah, the economy was going so great at the beginning of the pandemic

It took nearly two weeks for millions of Americans to run through every last penny in their bank accounts, and face the specter of starving in the streets. Meanwhile, the Trump administration was working hard to minimize the pandemic and spend months in pointless arguments over wearing masks, practicing social isolation, testing, and tracing.

8. Trump Doesn't Know How To Govern

So he can't makes things better. And he is so petty about everything. Right now he refuses to sign off on a pandemic relief bill because it has money for states and cities harmed by Trumps bungled handling of the epidemic.
