President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[Boston Vol]

Going off memory here, I'm pretty sure that most of Obama's second term spending was hampered by sequestration. He tried like hell to spend but couldn't.

Correct. The sequestration started in 2013. It was part of the debt ceiling agreement in 2011. Also fair to point out that the rate of spending also “slowed” simply because we spent so much damn money during his first term.

So Trump gets credit for 1/3 of that?

No. Its been going down since Trump took office. You want to put your usually liberal spin claiming it went up by .08 since the publishing of the article. Can't tell the whole story, just the part that fits your narrative.

You quoted the price from a year ago and he took office in....

There's no spin since it actually did go up since the 2wk old article used was published. That's just a fact

Trump assumed office on 1/20/2025, not 1/20/2024.

As I just posted above, the average gas prices were higher under Biden and Obama than Trump and Bush. Not a coincidence.

That's fine if you wanna take that line, but the results are the results.

Yeah, his first term and also the previous several presidents. Obama's 2nd term is that one spot in the last 40+ years where growth rate wasn't going nuts.

Deflect, deflect.

 

[n_huffhines]

Deflect, deflect.

I think you lost the point if you think I'm deflecting. The guy said a "strong economy" and you said "were you asleep from 2012 to 2016?" I then commented on topic that the economy wasn't bad and then you started talking about who should get credit.

The economy his 2nd term was your point, not where the credit goes. I stuck to the point

Wonder what Trump's personal cut of the action amounts to. Might use it to promote the USA Bibles. From China.

What does this have to do with whether or not gas prices have "plummeted" since Trump took office again?

Anthony Fauci was not the president doofus.

Anthony Fauci didn't shut down CDC in Wuhan Donnie did. A Fauci didn't promise warm weather would end covid, Donnie did. A Fauci didn't advocate washing people's innards in bleach Donnie did

Why do ignorant ass liberals keep bringing this up? I guess I answered my own question

Fact check: Biden says Trump told Americans to inject bleach to treat COVID-19

In Raleigh, President Biden said Donald Trump "told Americans all they had to do was inject bleach in themselves, remember that? Not a joke, you think I am making this up. Just take a real shot of UV light."

Cut the national debt? The debt was 10.5 trillion when he took office. It was $20 trillion when he left.

Swampy meant to say that Obama divided the national debt by one-half, but he isn't too swift with math.

The absurdity and clownassery of this spectacular sh*tshow of tastelessness knows no bounds.

You're worried about truth? Didn't you just claim that Obama cut the debt?

He doesn't do email...or computers...but, by his admission, he is the Technology Prez!

Uh no! My pet blind frog can turn on a laptop.
