But you should definitely get more triggered and defensive over a funny tweet about election denial. Makes it totally seem like you're not bitter or butthurt at all about your hero getting curb stomped by Biden. I left the Republican Party in 2016 after he won the PA Primary and registered Libertarian. Voted for Gary Johnson. Voted for Trump in 2020 because I knew Biden would be a disaster. Had my highest earning years ever under Trump.... Business was booming. I was wrong about him in 2016 Definitely not my hero.... And the dude wearing the jersey is definitely Asian.

Weird. Everyone I know had the opposite happen. They were all killing it during the end of the Obama administration and then we’re all homeless and destitute during the Trump years and then they were all rehired at much higher salaries right around the time Biden took over.

"Companies told me they were in a recession until Trump was elected" is even better than Mike's "my 401k was flat under Obama and then went through the roof under Trump."
September 9, 20223 yr He's not wrong that the economy got overheated during Trump's years. We were into a 6-7 year economic expansion and Trump decided to put the economy on a sugar rush at a time it didn't need it. The Fed should have been hiking rates throughout but they either fell asleep at the wheel or succumb to political pressure. (It's not impossible that Trump extracted a promise from Powell that he wouldn't raise rates, but that's pure speculation.) It was all well and good until the only real crisis Trump faced his entire presidency happened, and then it fell like a house of cards. Money isn't as cheap now (though even with these very aggressive rate hikes rates the prime rate is relatively low by historical standards) & the supply chain is still struggling. It's a testament to the strength of the American economy that it hasn't fallen off a cliff. The Trump years are what happens when the Fed doesn't manage an overheating economy. It's not maintainable long term. It was a sugar high pure and simple. Viewing it as the result of sound policy by the orange menace is laughable.
September 10, 20223 yr I've been in Corporate Sales since 06. Back in 07, my company started hiring a bunch of mortgage guys trying to switch careers because that market was drying up. Not even a year later, the economy exploded. Prior to my company going on a hiring freeze in late August, half of the resumes I was getting to review were mortgage people. Keep your head in the sand if you don't think things are about to implode..... The housing bubble and the tech bubble are both about to burst and it's going to be like 2001 and 2008 combined
September 10, 20223 yr The housing market fell apart in 2008 because banks were giving people mortgages they couldn’t afford. To my knowledge that isn’t happening right now.

September 10, 20223 yr After the dark days of the Trump administration, I think the best part about the Biden economic miracle is that, in order to incentivize workers, most companies have instituted Free-BJ-Wednesday.
