    Mr Trump was re-elected on a wave of economic pessimism, telling voters that “incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish completely, jobs will come roaring back and the middle class will prosper like never, ever before” during his second term. So far they have been disappointed. Ratings of his handling of the economy and inflation were net positive shortly after his inauguration. They have since fallen to strongly negative in the wake of his declarations of trade war and the ensuing response of investors.

      I mean for all the bullshit he spews this is the one time in my book where it actually qualifies as a case of “politician said politically motivating shit to get elected and didnt do any of it once elected.” I guess at this point it just sounds more stat quo for politicians than his usual shit like “bleach cures covid”
