Poll: Trump losing edge on economy, once his strongest issue

31 comments

1. Which is insane to me is how he has any edge. The guy is a train wreck to our economy.

2. I think a decisive blue victory is coming… when the GOP is losing ground in Iowa and the economy it’s Hitler in the bunker bad for them.

3. The stock market isn’t “the economy,” but the Dow closed at another record high and over 42,000 today. When Trump was president, it only reached 30,000 after he lost the election to Biden. Trump took credit for it anyway.

4. He’ll turn our economy into the same type of success as truth social shares if we are stupid enough to return him to the presidency.

5. It was never one of his strongest issues, it was just one he could bullshit enough to make his cult believe it, just like the border and immigration.

6. Title should read

   “Fewer gullible people are believing one of Trump’s most fallen for lies”

7. But, but, but, inflation that is actually worse everywhere else in the world is Hunter Biden’s fault!

   -Trump voter.

8. This is why they were so pissed at the Fed rate cuts — even though they had been advertised for months.

   Everything’s about Trump. Not the country.

9. – Trump’s own alma mater, The Wharton School, formally endorsed Harris’s economic plan over Trump’s.
   – Goldman Sachs endorsed Harris’s plan over Trump’s.
   – The Fed just cut interest rates.
   – Unemployment is down.
   – Inflation is coming down.
   – Gas prices are coming down.
   – The United States is officially recovering better than literally any other nation in the world post-Pandemic under the Biden/Harris administration.

10. Can’t run on the economy when it’s actually doing good.

11. You mean his strongest lie?

12. What edge? His economic plan was massive tariffs on imported goods. Literally every sane economist said this would cause catastrophic inflation and destroy the economy. How did he ever have an edge? He inherited the Obama economy. I’m so tired of the average American having no clue how things actually work in the United States. It’s almost like removing all the civics and government classes from HS was a mistake.

13. 1. Inflation is under control, and continues to fall.

    2. Unemployment is very low.

    3. Trump’s announced tarrifs would damage the economy with high inflation and being about a recession, as per Goldman Sachs experts.

    4. Trump has no plans and policies to help the economy, only ideas that would bring the economy to its knees and blow the deficit and debt to absolute smithereens.

    Harris is overtaking Trump on “who will do better for the economy” because her plans would help the economy and people are starting to feel better about the current economy.

14. The guy with six bankruptcies and who bankrupted the country, was seen as strong in the economy? wtf

15. The belief that being wealthy means an understand the economy is often false . Trump is a con-artist and nothing more. The only thing he will do to the economy loot it for himself and his scumbag buddies. And everyone else will suffer for it.

16. Which continues to be astonshing to me as nearly every economic proposal he has made is nonsense.

17. This makes no sense. He had his own business TV show, *The Apprentice*. And for those who say it doesn’t equate to economic acumen, the show was a *reality* TV show. It was real. It’s right there in the name. Where is Comrade Kamala’s business TV show experience?

    ^Totally ^unnecessary ^/s, ^right?

18. Why it was ever his strongest issue when he couldn’t run a casino, where all the rules favor the house winning most of the time, never mind what he did to our actual economy or the insane shit he’s promising, is beyond me.

19. Trump was only ever considered “strong” on th economy because so few people have any understanding of economics.

20. I encourage anyone saying that Trump will be better for the economy to purchase DJT stock on Monday

21. This moron can’t run a Cub Scout meeting, to think he’s even close to being able to run the world’s largest economy is the biggest joke in the universe. He’d just do what the other Nazi sociopaths around him want him to do because he’s clueless.

22. Eventually people were going to start googling what a tariff is.

23. His entire economic plan is raising tariffs, which is an idea so bad that anyone with a basic understanding of economics knows it would significantly raise prices for Americans. Other than that, he keeps shouting out random ideas that he clearly has no idea of implementing like no taxes of tips or no taxes on overtime. He’s getting desperate and hoping uneducated voters will believe his promises despite a career of breaking nearly every promise he’s ever made

24. I’d bet my house that he couldn’t pass a high school level Econ exam. I honestly believe that although he knows that consumers pay for tariffs (because he’s been told that), he still doesn’t actually know how they work. Like he legit thinks he can tax China directly.

    Goddamn I’m so sick of people saying Republicans are good for the economy (and that Donald Trump is good at business). It’s literally disprovable with a line graph that a 3rd grader could understand.

25. Upon until recently Donald was weird but now he is crazy. People believed his economic stuff because they thought it was true. Now they know it isn’t. His great economy is exactly the same as his studio audience.

26. “Milk costs a quarter more, so I had to vote for Hitler 2.”

27. It’s almost like it’s starting to get through people’s heads that saying you are going to bring down prices while simultaneously screaming about lowering interest rates faster (until it happens under a D), deporting 10-20 million workers, and turning the country into a “tariff nation” is beyond fucking stupid.

    His understanding of international economics is stuck in like the 19th century and mercantilism, but even that is probably being too generous to his conceptual understanding. He 100% doesn’t even know what mercantilism is.

28. “I have a concept of a plan” …such a JOKE

29. We’re busy talking about orange boy and his black Nazi buddy…he’s a felon…eating pet lie…project 2025…Laura looney…his immigrant wife (deport her)…Trump killing the border deal…not passing IVF…him and crazy RFK…I hate TS post, How childish…his dementia…etc.

30. The Fed cut rates and now the stock market is at record highs. All thanks to the Biden-Harris admin.

31. Trump shrunk the US economy by 32%.

    What strongest issue?

    In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the Great Depression, passed a tariff bill called The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act, which raised tariffs in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? NO.

    It did not work.

    Now trump wants to impose tariffs as a solution? What a pear-shaped loser. trump belongs in a prison.
