President-elect Trump, you do not need to dismantle the Department of Education. America has already gone stupid.
A recent survey showed that a majority of Americans believe Republicans to be better at running the economy. This century proves the opposite is true. Start in the year 2000 when Bill Clinton handed George W. Bush a very strong economy, coupled with a balanced budget and a mere $5 billion national debt. Eight years later when Bush left office, we were in an economic recession, the housing market had collapsed and the government had to bail out the banks, Wall Street and the automobile industry. Barack Obama revived the economy, and in 2017 handed Donald Trump a red-hot economy that was in shambles when he left office in 2021. The trillions of national debt we now have is largely due to the Bush/Trump presidencies.
So America, please explain why you believe Republicans are better with the economy when the evidence clearly shows they wreck it every time they get their hands on it. With his threats of tariffs and deporting a significant portion of the workforce, Trump’s second presidency already is looking bad for the economy. One thing is for certain: No matter how bad Trump is for the economy, he won’t care one bit as it’s not affecting him. He has already accomplished his main goal – keeping his convicted criminal butt out of jail. What an embarrassment.
