I really can't see the connection this story is struggling to make.
It is ridiculous to suggest the economy will get better with Democrat policy, we already saw what happened the last time and we all know that creating new reasons to give money away and raising taxes is not going to fix anything.

Since the 1950s or so the economy has done better under Democrats and worse under Republicans, modern Republicans are simply in denial about it. The current bit is to claim that current problems are because of Biden, which is simply a lie. Biden spent his entire term working to recover from the damage Trump did the first time and the situation was improving. It wasn’t great but it started terrible and was working up to OK.
Right now it is the Republicans that are suggesting giving away money. Though it’s straight up bribery for votes, not any suggestion of helping the economy.
The next president, Republican or Democrat, will end up raising taxes to cover the expenses of the Trump presidency. Admittedly the Democrats will be happier about doing it. There will be no way around it. The deficit will be too big, there will be too many things that need money and some of Trump’s trade and treaty mistakes will have to be bought out of.
“creating new reasons to give money away and raising taxes is not going to fix anything.”
What has Trump ‘fixed’ by giving $40B to Argentina?
What product is better because Trump put tariffs on it? I just read that the tariff on tomatoes is probably going to put an end to free chips and salsa at Mexican restaurants.
And are you brave enough to actually chart the price of gas over the last three presidencies?
Well, just 20th January 2025 onwards has proven that it’s now more than impossible for the Democrats to do any worse, economically, diplomatically, and politically, OP.
Under this republican administration gas prices and grocery prices soared. People can't afford necessities. We're weaker than ever, our economy is devastated, value of the dollar plummeted, etc. seems to me the republican IS already worse
My Aunt Margaret, who lived all her life in South Dakota, told me, "The economy always does worse under Republicans."
You weren't wrong, Aunt Margaret.
