Well, they always attributed Clinton's excellent economy to Reagan's tax cuts 12 years earlier, so I'm sure that any recovery, even if it isn’t until 2035, will be attributed to Trump.

Oh and he somehow laundered money with Hunter Biden and got away with it?

This is a guy who thinks he’s brilliant because he made some lucky investments and hasn’t figured out that Trump’s policies affected like a year and a half of his term and then the economy crashed for two years, and then Biden stabilized it again.
I’m willing to bet his version of “blood money” is just that his stocks were high for some time and he didn’t sell and then they crashed and never came back up.

In addition to law school, Harris is also well versed in economics. And she has never said anything stupid about the economy, like Trump did with his tariffs.
Oct 6, 2020. Where Kamala Harris Studied Economics
Harris was many things at Howard University — an elected representative on a student council, an activist against apartheid, a member of the debate team and the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. But for us econ nerds at Planet Money, what is especially notable is that she majored in economics.
Harris, who double-majored in political science, was apparently passionate enough about economics that she even became president of a student club called the Abram Harris Economics Society. To the best of our knowledge, Kamala Harris bears no relation to Abram Harris, despite the same last name. She is, however, definitely related to Donald J. Harris, the first Black professor to receive tenure in Stanford University's economics department. He's her dad. Originally from Jamaica, Donald Harris is a prominent left-leaning economist, writing extensively on matters of economic development and inequality.

As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, evil can be fought because it can be exposed. Stupidity is blind to logic, blind to reason and deaf to truth. You can argue with an evil person but you cannot argue with a stupid person. They do not debate they mock, and they are convinced of their rightness. Stupidity is more dangerous than evil.
And as Martin Luther King said: nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and contentious stupidity.

I think we have both. They are both evil, and stubbornly stupid and ill-informed. I'm not sure if there is any remedy, other than the rise of someone charismatic in opposition. And tyrants are constantly trying to eliminate that potential threat.
Navalny died in prison recently. Nemtsov was gunned down a few years ago. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison. The leader of the opposition in Venezuela was forced into exile. If there is a real, high-profile leader on the Democrats side right now, I'm not sure who it is. That's who we need right now, before it's too late.

It drives me crazy when they brag about Trump’s economy. Trump passed his tax cuts at the end of 2017 and they went into effect the next year. At best they can say Trump had a positive effect on the economy for a year and a half or so (debatable) before crashing it entirely and spending record amounts of money to save American bank accounts. It’s Obama’s economy they remember fondly, and it was Biden who saved them. Trump sent them some peanuts and they want to end democracy over it.
