Hey, Sawyer:
Keep this October 2024 article in your back pocket when you're confronted by misrepresentations about the Biden economy.
And point out to your opponents that Trump found the answer to the question posed by the writers.

"But Trump’s done a hell of a lot to save America."
Er, no.
Trump supplied the answer to The Economist writers' 2024 question by sabotaging the US economy.

Our US press did a terrible job of explaining how well the US was doing economically just before the 2024 election.
The UK press was more informative.

"tough times need to be gone through to get to good times"
Nope.
We had to go through the 2024 good times to get to the 2026 tough times.
In late 2024, The Economist writers couldn't predict the destructive power of Trumpism.

The US regained the world's respect after the Bush debacle when Obama came into office.
We an hope for a similar rebound if a competent and honest president follows Trump.

Let's also remember that the US economy was doing great in the fall of 2024 heading for the election.
A pity that our feckless press here in the US couldn't be bothered to keep us informed.

Back in 2016 Trump was the liar-in-chief.
(Interesting side note: @JebBush had a Democrat level of truthfulness)

'They're "hunting" children for fun.'
Nothing new.
Chris Hedges reported on the IDF's sport killing back in 2001.

John Kiriakou on Israel;
"They know that they can f**k with you any way they want, and nobody on Capitol Hill is gonna have the guts to say a word."

A pity our feckless US press didn't keep US voters informed, but left it to the foreign press to tell the story.
America was STRONGER under @JoeBiden.
Period.
The numbers don't lie.
The revisionist history won't change it. 🇺🇸

Remember, those supposedly "sane networks or news organizations" refused to inform the US public how well the US economy was dong in the run up to the 2024 election.
Voters would have had to go to the foreign press to get good information.

"Give us another couple of years"
You mean to get back to where we were just before you were elected?

"At least he'll be good for the economy"
A condemnation of our news media, which failed to inform the US public just how good the US economy was in the run up to the 2024 election.
The foreign press was a much better source of information.

Just as absurd is the claim that the Biden economy was failing.
Gas went up under Biden because Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Then they gradually went down in 2023/2024.
Gas then went back up because Trump started a war of choice with Iran that he’s losing after being persuaded by Netanyahu and Hegseth.
Blaming Biden right now is absurd.

Watch the movie The Apprentice to see how it happened.

"we must not let them live and grow up to 14 or 15 years old."
Ah, the old "Nits make lice" excuse for murdering infants.

It would make more sense for Greenland to be part of Canada, if Denmark were to relinquish it.

Refreshingly, the headline does not say "Howard Lutnick *Earned* Over $250 Million Last Year", as ridiculous over compensation is often described.

Was Israel willing to let October 7th happen, so they had an excuse to destroy Gaza?

Every talk show host should have The Economist article from October 2024 at the ready to counter Trump lackeys' BS claims.

Hey, @DNC and dem candidates:
Next time a reporter tries the gotcha question, "Does Israel have the right to exist", here's your brief reply.

Kaepernick and others who took the knee could have made apparent their reason for doing it.
My suggestion was: holding photos of people murdered by police, as in the mockup below.

I thought at the time that Kaepernick and others should have made it clear what taking the knee meant.
Like this mockup of how they could have done it.

"vax causing miscarriages"
Astonishing how these debunked claims continue to spread among the willfully misinformed.
