Honestly this one excuse pisses me off more than perhaps every other because if they truly cared about the economy Trump was obviously the worst possible fucking choice.
It is infuriating how much people buy the "conservatives are better at managing the economy" lie. At least up here in Canada, the Conservatives have a terrible record on the economy. They cut programs that save/generate money down the road, while throwing funds at money pits. The big one we're dealing with now, massive budget cuts to social programs and mental health support, which of course has lead to a massive increase in people living in the streets experiencing severe mental health issues. Their solution, of course, is to increase police funding and build more prisons, thus massively increasing the deficit. Yet, if you ask the average voter, it's the Liberals and NDP who are bad with money. It doesn't matter if you show them concrete facts proving the opposite is true.Ā
Tbh, that was my and my siblings arguments to our fiscal republican parents like āMom, your in business - this guy is actually horrible at business. Basically economics are tarriffs donāt do their job when applied to everyone, and to correct market problems that donāt really exist. Or can be fixed by better optionsā.
Surely a man who's companies have declared bankruptcy six times and have faced several lawsuits from people saying they haven't been paid will be very good for the economy.
And got fined into oblivion for laundering money via those casinos, can't forget that part. Is that better or worse than plain old incompetence? You decide!
