    It’ll just be blamed on the Harris administration, there will be some type of propping up of the economy to give Trump an upswing and then another event will happen and it’ll be the new reason it’s not trumps fault

    “Oh we see Germany gearing up their military, and you know what that means WWII, we have to fund new military programs it or we will all die….the economy is gonna take a hit, but we are patriots America”

      It’s funny, economic issues early into a presidential term should almost always logically be blamed on the last guy but for some reason that never fucking happens - the people feeling pain during economic stress always blame the new guy.

      None of that will matter if things are still shit when it’s time to vote. Just like with Dems in 2024… we had every reason to blame inflation on COVID and Trump’s horrible response but many people just decide by looking at their grocery bill a couple days before heading to the polls.
