    Me too.

    Trump is a one trick pony - he knows jobs and money. That's his wheel house.

    Handling a deadly virus is obviously not his thing. But once the democrats release all their vaccines and cures on Nov 4th, that aspect of the equation disappears.
    Yeah he knows jobs really well, an economy where half the country makes $15 an hour.

    What's your conspiracy theory here, Qhris?

    At the end of Obama's last budget year the unemployment rate was 4.1%, and a month before the pandemic hit it was at 3.5%.

    Trump is a true economic genius by lowering the unemployment rate a whole 0.6% before sending back into the double digits like his last Republican predecessor.

    Wages have been down for quite sometime...long before he took office.

    Endless supplies of bricks on pallets in places where no construction is taking place during these riots would suggest he is on to something...

    Yeah, there's always construction going on when people actually look.

    But what's your conspiracy theory?

    Step up.

    I think the virus was released from a lab...accidentally, on purpose and it was a coordinated effort by people who hate Trump....very wealthy people. One of them was already mentioned and I have a few others in mind. You can use your imagination. If you believe that BS Wuhan wet market story, then allow me to sell you that ocean front property in AZ.

    Median income was growing at a rate over 4% Obama’s last two years in office. Trump took a wet all over that when he gave massive tax cuts to the rich and to corporations that were used on stock buybacks.

    The pandemic hit the EU a lot harder than it hit us in March/April, and the EU has managed to keep unemployment steady at 7-8% (in the wealthy EU countries like Germany it’s even lower).

    Our economy was fundamentally broken before Trump took office, there’s no question about that, but he only made it worse with his tax plan. The result is a pandemic that cratered our economy a lot more than it did the economy of other industrialized countries with more robust safety net programs in place.

    That's not exactly good.

    And when we reward people with $600 per week on unemployment, which was often more than what their jobs were paying them, then you remove the incentive for them to go back to work.

    The premise of these conspiracy theories is that Trump is an enemy to the wealthy oligarch establishment and they’re actively seeking to destroy him which makes the theories ridiculous to being with. 2018 was the first year in American history where billionaires had a lower effective tax rate than working class Americans. Trump has been a boon for billionaire elites while he’s been in office, there’s no logical reason they’d want him removed.

    Says who, you? You’re just speculating at this point to come up with a narrative to support your political beliefs.

    There are multiple people applying for and trying to fill every open job that’s out there. The issue is that there aren’t enough jobs to go around. This theory about people being unmotivated is more right wing fortune cookie logic that’s not buttressed with any empirical data.

    I will not use my imagination. It's your conspiracy theory.

    So walk us through how it all worked.

    Oh I agree they stand to make a of a lot more $$ with republican leadership, obviously.

    But do you think he is a friend of George Soros, Gates and Bezos? Trump is one abrasive azz dude. You don't need to be a hard lefter to dislike him. He has also crossed the Bush family which has heavy connecitons world wide. CNN spends every waking hour trying to take him down.

    I watch Hannity maybe once per year and I dislike Chevy products with a passion.

    I watch a lot of CNN and believe everything they say. And I also believe the world is all black and white with no gray area.
