David Von Drehle: The economy may not be Donny’s friend in 2020

Being a master con man, Donny will of course shift the blame: The Fed! The Dems! And idiots like Whell will fall for it. Independents, one hopes, won’t be quite as stupid as Whell this time around.

Somehow the Trump Partiers will find a way to blame the Democrats!

These Partiers will have one hell of a hangover when the party is over!

Idiot in Chief blames market meltdown on "Fake News," conspiracy of "weenies"

“He’s rattled,” a Republican source close to the administration told the Washington Post. “He thinks that all the people that do this economic forecasting are a bunch of establishment weenies — elites who don’t know anything about the real economy and they’re against Trump.”

Except it isn’t just “establishment weenies” sounding the alarm. A survey of American manufacturers found that production is at its lowest since Trump took office, with many blaming his tariffs. Farmers in the Midwest are going broke at record rates, with Trump’s trade war driving many out of business. More than 50 coal plants and eight coal companies have closed since Trump took office. Job creation under Trump is more than 800,000 short of the job growth during the first two and a half years of Obama’s presidency, while the tax cuts he claimed would pay for themselves have added trillions to the national debt. More than 70 percent of American corporate CEOs expect a recession before the end of Trump’s first term.

So much winning!

The current administration's idiot "economic adviser" (and complete know-nothing, like Whell) Larry Kudlow, just before the last great recession and market meltdown. So confidence inspiring!

Tell me Whell, how did you ever believe anything this con man said? Do you feel like a complete fool now?

Donny is convinced there is a conspiracy to distort economic data and exaggerate the prospect of a recession

Um, no, Donny, it's the fact that you're surrounded by incompetent fools who know nothing about economics, and have led you into foolhardy policies.

New data challenges Donny's economic narrative

https://thehill.com/policy/finance/4...omic-narrative

With the stimulus of the 2017 tax law wearing off and a trade war with China escalating almost monthly, Trump may have to answer for a slowing economy as he seeks a second term in office.

“I would say his economy is on borrowed time,” said Zandi. “He bought himself some time by borrowing lots of money and cutting a big check to business and high-income households, but I think his policies are driving the economy into the ditch.”
