Anti, thats what polls are for. You dont expect them to poll;; 330 million people, do you?


I agree, but the point is that you can't honestly that the whole country feels a certain way based on the opinions of 2,000 people.

Your numbers are the propaganda. And you fell for it.

You wrote false 59 % disapprove of Biden. Thats exactly what Tilley said.


False.

Tilly said, "59% of the country agrees with me."

I corrected her and said that, "on May 21, 59% of 2,144 people polled disapprove of Biden."

Do you see the variations?

She assumes that 2,000 people speak for 300 million, and that an opinion on May 21 (before Trump's conviction) is also accurate on June 3.

Anti, you just need to sleep it off. You wrote false 59 % disapprove of Biden. Thats exactly what Tilley said. You may feel better tomorrow.

DLD, it's been proven numerous times that a lot of the false information being spread originates from Russia. They spent a ton of money spreading the same fake news in 2016.

Biden is the worst president in your lifetime, followed closely by Jimmy Carter. You cant spin that but one way.

Historians say the opposite... Trump is the worst President in American history, while Biden comes in 14th. Carter is 27th, and is also considered the most under-rated.


59% of the country agrees with me and 36% agree with you

False. On May 21, 59% of 2,144 people polled disapprove of Biden.


Regardless, this thread is about facts, not public opinion.

Facts prove you to be wrong, Tilly. I suspect that you are falling for Russian propaganda, blaming Biden for Trump's failures.

"This move lowered average US incomes by $131 billion", Anti mine didnt fall that much.

There are 167.12 million people in the US workforce... this is an average of $783.87 each. But it's more likely to be related to all of the people that lost their jobs due to Trump's policies.

Heres a quarter, "call someone who cares".

They must care, because there's a new thread on here every day spreading Russian fake news propaganda on these issues!

You only don't care because these are indisputable facts that prove the propaganda wrong...

Another issue that people are seeing is that Trump increased tariffs on international goods, which of course raised prices. He ignorantly thought that companies would just cut their payroll expenses, but of course that didn't happen... they raised prices.

This resulted in an increase of household costs of about $1500 a year, which is another reason why the hyper inflation problem began.


Those tariffs resulted in retaliation, of course... China switched to importing soybeans from other countries, costing the US more than $10 billion.


China went further by lowering their own tariffs with other countries, luring them away from the US high tariffs...


Ironically, Trump abandoned the Trans-Pacific Partnership ... a trade agreement that would have fixed all of that! That made imported goods from Asia more expensive for the people, as well as decreasing our exports to Asia. This move lowered average US incomes by $131 billion.

Facts show that hyper inflation began April 2020, and wage growth outpaced inflation starting February 2023.


We've been at 3% inflation for a year now, which is ideal. A healthy economy will have a 2-3% interest rate.


You can also see that inflation was a global problem due to COVID, but the United States recovered faster than any other first world nation...


Numbers don't lie... don't fall for the propaganda!
