Trump looked unbeatable on the economy. Then he launched a trade war.

Well it only looked unbeatable of you were part of George Carlin's voter rant.

Wtf is this headline?

Counterpoint: He was a fucking idiot on the economy the whole time.

Just why anyone thinks any Republican is "guuud at 'conomy" is mind-boggling.

And that's even before donvict started up with his bullshit tariffs (again).

I have to assume that headline is written to be palatable to Trumper clicks or something.

Looked unbeatable on the economy? And I'm supposed to take the author seriously as an educated adult human who professionally writes words about important things? As far as I could gather from a glance at the article, him being "unbeatable" was that he promised to magically fix all economic woes and people believed him. Again. So that makes it a strong issue for the GOP if you are dead inside and trying to write the news like everything is normal.

He never looked unbeatable. The US news refused to do any due diligence on his plans. Literally every major economist (or something like that) endorsed Harris.

Once again, the news media refuses to take responsibility for the fucking mess they helped create.

Yes, this. If you want a sound economy, pick a Democrat. Because no matter how much noise the qons make about being so very pro-business and "guud at 'conomy", they never come through and always leave things in the ditch for the Democrats to rebuild after they make a big fucking mess.
Helped create = coordinated by their oligarch owners.
- Oh I fully believe this. There is no progressive news sources in the US.

Whenever did he look "unbeatable" on the economy? This guy bankrupted casinos. He is the hallmark of economic incompetence.

He just bitched about the Biden economy over and over. He had no ideas or policies, just empty promises that he, "wouldn't have let this happen."
- And the fucking stupidest thing of all?
  
  Under Biden, we had an economy that was the envy of the world. These knuckledraggers voted for dumbfuck donnie anyway.
He didn’t have a plan he just hated theirs. Apparently that’s enough.
He had the illusion of being unbeatable to his followers, all of us who read and actually critically think know he is just the worlds best conman.
- Honeslty he's not even a very good conman he just also happened to be born rich which gives him a lot of free credibility to a certain kind of person.

Did Trump actually have any concrete plans for the economy or did he just look "unbeatable" because he said "I'll make eggs cheap and great again! Very bigly!" jerks off two dicks

I mean, I guess that's an unbeatable platform if you're a nation of illiterate bigots that swap reason for blind fanaticism.

He did not have any concrete plans for the economy. And, in fact, Harris pointed this out at pretty much every opportunity.
He looked unbeatable because, contrary to the reality where he is an awful businessmanm, he played a successful businessman on television.

Hasn't every republican been worse for the economy since like Nixon? Why do people think Republicans are so good?

Class solidarity of the top 10%. They own the media, they want the Republican agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and whatever else make them more individually wealthy.

It's bottom ~70% who can't seem to figure out what class solidarity is
Because they tell stupid people what they want to hear.

He started a trade war? You mean the thing he said he was going to do on the campaign trail, over and over again? So why would anyone think he would ever be good for the economy!?

I have to admit, if Trump changed opinions about him via destroying the economy, I have yet to see it. All the dipshits in my world are crowing about how they had been preparing for this for decades.

That should say 'another trade war.' He did the same shit last time he was in office as anyone who has better memory that a goldfish should remember. Trump only looked unbeatable on the economy because the billionaires who own all the major, and most of the minor, media outlets wanted him to look that way so they could get more undeserved tax cuts.

He never looked unbeatable this was the expected outcome of him winning according to any economist with a brain. Why is everything so much stupider than I imagined when i was a kid. Holy fuck.

Republicans gutting education and launching a massive propaganda campaign to convince people that being stupid is awesome, mostly.

Well yeah cause genocide joe didn't do jack shit except murder palestinians for 4 years and tell us we're doing great. What else should we expect from the next fash?
