I Think Some People Need to Remember Exactly What It Was Like During Trump

[Robert W]

So wrong, the energy prices going up caused a lot of inflation.

The reason prices of fuel can rocket into the heaven, inflation is that Biden brags he caused more oil to be produced and the Treasury ordered more currency be created.

What I find interesting is you campaigned very heavily that the death and illness from the virus were over counted.
now that we have a different president you campaign that there under counted.

I did not claim that, it is a fact.

A lot of things caused a rise in inflation BEFOR Biden became president. GO BACK AND CHECK.
No one with a brain actually thinks that the day a president steps into office( that you don't like,)
is the day everything go's wrong.
And out side influences factor into every situation. NO PERFECT HUMANS, SO NO PERFECT PRESIDENTS.

Thats a miss by you

My first hint that we were overreacting was 3 elderly family members who tested positive but none of them died and only one even spent time in the hospital

You should be grateful for the mild cases, instead of using it for political useless points.

You’re calling Republicans “Nazis,” and you don’t think you’ve been brainwashed?

Maybe they should stop acting like Nazis.

The lying and pretending about the trump presidency has gotten to the point of absurdity. So let me post a reminder of just exactly how thnigs were, not how The gatewaypundit or Donald Trump tell you they were.

And this kind of incompetant "leadership" is what y ou wantto go back to?

By early July 2020, Sweden had not suffered the 82,000 deaths that the models had assumed, but 5,455—less than 7 percent of what was predicted. But eventually the virus spread rapidly through the population. At times during the spring of 2020 Sweden had some of the highest COVID-19 death rates in Europe.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sweden was among the few countries that did not enforce strict lockdown measures but instead relied more on voluntary and sustainable mitigation recommendations. While supported by the majority of Swedes, this approach faced rapid and continuous criticism. Unfortunately, the respectful debate centered around scientific evidence often gave way to mudslinging. However, the available data on excess all-cause mortality rates indicate that Sweden experienced fewer deaths per population unit during the pandemic (2020–2022) than most high-income countries and was comparable to neighboring Nordic countries through the pandemic. An open, objective scientific dialogue is essential for learning and preparing for future outbreaks.

Republicans have never, not one second, acted like Nazis. We deem Democrats operate like Nazis due to the Democrats love and admiration for Socialism, and yes the Nazis were socialists. A second feature of Democrats is they are ruthless authoritarians. Witness their hate for classes of citizens in America.

To say that Jewish Republicans are equivalent to the savages who rounded up, transported, and gassed to death their ancestors tells you how very sick and brainwashed the Left has become.

But the Fed has been printing "too much money" since the 2008 Recession. They never really stopped.

What changed this time was TRUMP PLAGUE caused international supply chains to break down, making products more expensive.

It is bad enough that Sartre Play is here to deceive, but why are you joining him?

There are reasons for the Treasury to print the money demanded of them by the Fed. Reserve, but they must be very careful and not overstep their needs. What 2008 recession are you discussing? What Trump plague? A major reason why prices rose under Biden has to do with the oil costs that are included in all products shipped to consumers and stores. If you bought bread when Trump was president, the price jumped up due to oil prices which are always included in the prices of goods sold by stores.

Really, let's roll that beautiful bean footage!

1) Cult like devotion to a Supreme Leader.
2) Demonization of minorities
3) Demonization of gays
4) Promotion of wars of aggression

 

[Markle]

Here's an example.
Schools didn't CLOSE.
The Building itself CLOSED, but the Education stayed open.
You can argue the effectiveness of such 'remote schooling' but you can't say that schools shut down completely. Because they didn't.

So which specific BUSINESS was forced to shut down completely (besides movie theaters and bowling alleys)?

What I remember about Trump Plague was that the stores had EMPTY SHELVES. First time I had ever seen that in my life.

Of course, there were a number of drivers to inflation, one of them being that the Fed has practiced a loose money supply policy since 2008.

The second was sudden drop and spike in demand for commodities. This is one I know well, as I am procurement for a living. It just wasn't petroleum, it was everything. Metals, plastics, food stuffs.

Third was Trump's tariffs, especially against China. Took a while to make it down the supply chain, but when you add to the costs of products or components, that eventually gets passed on to consumers.

Another big factor is the shrinking labor market. Not only did you have the issue of baby boomers retiring too quickly, but Trump choked the supply of LEGAL immigrants on H1B visas. That meant a smaller labor pool and increased wages.

And yet Biden and the Fed have been able to get inflation back to 3% without causing mass layoffs or a recession. Good on them.

Is there really any doubt Trump could stop most of the threats and actual acts of violence with a simple statement telling his supporters to respect the legal process and end the violence?

The thing is, he doesn't want it to stop.

I trace this back to Franklin Roosevelt and since him, Democrats made it a major part of their programs. Even today the Press trumpets the fact Biden wants Israel to obey him though we are not being killed by the Muslims like Israel has been.

What 2008 recession? Seriously?

The day Joe Biden was elected, oil prices began skyrocketing due to his campaign promises. They further increased when he signed 94 Executive Orders reversing the policies that were working and put in place by President Trump.

 

[Jarlaxle]

The Trump years were an unmitigated disaster. Never again!

That post should result in 90days observation in a secure medical facility.

And how was that enforced? Were people actually pulled over for just going for a drive?

Absolutely yes! Off the top of my head, Gina Raimundo had a State Police CHECKPOINT on the highway and police were pulling over any car with out of state plates.

Now, yes, a lot of stores were closed for a short time between March and June, but by July, most of the stuff was opened again under Covid protocols.

Now you're lying again.

Biden is being run by Obama, who never made a secret that he stands with Muslims - and hates the Jewish country.

My fear is that Biden is going to import hundreds of thousands of more Jew-haters into this country, as if the Left isn’t doing enough to spread antisemitism.

 

[Winco]

Yes, schools actually did close.

Not in WA State.
So where did they close, like 'close....meaning no REMOTE learning'.

I didn't miss a single day of school, we were open through Online Platforms like Google Classrooms and Google Meets.

Restaurants

Restaurants were needing to adapt to delivery, take-out and outdoor dining.
If they were mismanaged and couldn't function like the rest of the world, then that's on them.

This is how myths are created. By posts such as yours being passed around over and over.

It was not the Trump plague. It was the China plague. IT was the Ship plague that we learned was happening off the coast of CA when the Ship was ordered to dock at Alameda CA by CA Democrats. Even though discovered on the cruise ship, I would not blame Democrats for this plague nor should Trump be blamed. Trump did not infect the passengers.
What was not on the store shelves? Essentially it was paper products. I recall this very well.
Trump set up the China Tariffs so they could not pass the costs along to Americans.
If China managed to pass some to us, we should blame China.

Your post is the first I ever read by a Democrat that claims Trump slashed legal migration. His target was the massive amounts of illegal aliens.
The disease would be why people retired early, not Trumps actions.

Biden jacked up expenses by the Feds but I do not recall seeing anything he did that helped the economy.
