23. It's a new age of prosperity for Trump

Wed Feb 25, 2026, 03:02 PM

Yesterday

When he talks about the great economy it’s only about how much he and his cronies have grabbed for themselves. It has nothing to do with the economy of anyone else.

I don’t know why that isn’t focused on. It should be the primary takeaway when thinking of the Trump economy. It was mentioned in the rebuttal but it should be drilled into everyone’s head daily.

It’s not about economy for you, only about the economy for himself
