That’s the way it always works, regardless of whether you’re talking about a Republican or Democrat. It can be a long time before economic policy changes have a noticeable effect, and whoever is in office when that happens gets the credit or blame.
Not that the Republicans have even attempted to put into place any policies of any kind that could help in any way
True
Not if he immediately crashes the economy with his tariffs
Anyone taking bets on who he'll blame and fire first when his (and conservatives) economic, social, and geopolitical plans tank the country? I'm betting on Musk getting the boot first before any of that happens, it's hard to imagine two egotistical dumbasses working together for very long. But, after that? Kevin Hassett who's going to lead the National Economic Council.
That's why I'm putting off moving and buying a new car until 2028. Fuck him getting credit.
But you'll actually be paying all the trump taxes and higher costs as a result.
