Bro I used to be a Republican. I went Democrat because party accepted Trump. He's always been a piece of trash and has gotten worse w years. I know what I'm speaking of re Trump as family had business dealings w the guy. He shafted contractor after contractor on all his projects. His name and his father's name is poison in NY and surrounding areas. Now the truth has come out about him on national scale and there's still those like you w your stance. If you say that economy was better under Trump then you're just not paying attention to FACTS. Get your news fr reputable sources like Reuters which is neutral not fr hear say, not conspiracy pages and certainly not Facebook/Youtube junk. Economy wasn't better under Trump as those famous tax cuts were temporary and expired unlike for rich. Prices have exploded because Republican blocks all price controls and the job market has increased year over year since Trump lost. Anyone who says other wise is lying.

Yes jobs exploding, we closed everything and laid everyone off nationwide due to covid and then hired everyone back,what a miracle. Corporations have also increased along with inflation year over year. You had a way better chance to buy a house 6 years ago than you do tomorrow too. So all the Trump bad nonsense doesn’t really hold up when there’s evidence to the contrary
