Trump: "I gave you record tax cuts, record inflation. Was knocked out. We had inflation like you have never had it." 🤡

[riversedge]

I turned up the volume--Trump actually said this.



Donald Trump: “I gave you record tax cuts, record inflation. Was knocked out.
We had inflation like you have never had it.” 🤡

1. That's a Biden ad.

[DemocraticPatriot]

9. I was just going to say that, LOL! "I see...

Donald has very kindly made us another Biden-Harris ad!"

Well, he did give us a worse COVID pandemic than we had to have---
and the recovery from THAT is what caused the inflation!

I won't argue that what he said is not indeed correct!
(Like they say, it takes at least a year before a new president can do much to influence the economy--
before that, it's all on what the LAST guy did...)

2. K&R

[Deuxcents]

3. Is this for real or is it a joke?

[onenote]

39. It's a mis-transcription of his words. See post #32

[Irish_Dem]

4. His words are nonsensical but no one cares.

His cult loves it all.

And the media doesn't pay any attention to Trump's mental illness and dementia.

[CrispyQ]

11. Apparently the CEOs he met with recently noticed.

They said he meandered & couldn't hold a thought & that he promised things without any explanation of how he was going to make those things happen.

They'll probably still vote for him, though.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Exactly. They noticed his insanity but will still vote for him.

Trump's cult and billionaire backers don't care that Trump is incompetent.

[CrispyQ]

14. The press scares me the most cuz he will shut most of them down but they still help him now for ratings.

What the fuck?

[Irish_Dem]

16. It is not just about ratings.

We know the owners of some of the news outlets have aligned with the global autocrats.
And some reporters are on the Trump payroll.

[CrispyQ]

17. The last chance for the world's elite to git while the gittin's still good. -nt

[Irish_Dem]

18. Yes they know where things are going.

Trying to make a killing while there is still a chance to do so.

And they think autocracy will benefit them.
They are wrong of course.
But greed is a powerful drug.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. It's Not About Ratings At All

Multiple reports, and the news networks own financial statements that he was good for the bottom line, aside from a short 2016 bump.
In fact, most of the networks have seen a drop in total viewership, and he never went away.
So, this is a clear effort to promote him & his policies, not about ratings.
It's management, not ownership, because the latter is too diverse with funds for retirement accounts holding the largest fractions of almost all these outfits.
Management wants the malleable doofus who will execute foolish conservative economic plans while ignoring the other potential outcomes.

[dweller]

5. He's testing out

Winning phrases for the debates


✌🏻

6. It's scary emough that this is believable even if it is a fake

It's way scarier if he really said it.

[Buns_of_Fire]

7. And so much whining! You'll get tired of so much whining!

MSM would quote it as "winning", but we know better.

Mock the sumbitch. Drive him up the wall. No mercy.

[Emile]

8. Okay, he has moments of sanity.

[malaise]

13. He'll soon say I gave you Covid

😂😂😂😂

[Sky Jewels]

22. I gave you the bigliest Covid death toll ever.

It was unbelievable how many people I killed. People came up to me with tears in their eyes and said, "Sir, thank you for murdering my grandma and my brother with your breathtaking bungling of the pandemic. It was an honor for them to die for you."

[malaise]

34. It would be true

[onenote]

10. His supporters understand what he is claiming -- big tax cuts, low inflation.

It's not true, of course, but they believe it.

[4lbs]

15. I saw this comment/post on YT some months back and it is becoming ever more true every day.

To paraphrase:

"With Biden I get wine with his comments.

With Trump I get whine with his comments."

[Sanity Claws]

19. Trump wants inflation because he is a debtor

He gets to pay his debts with money that is worth less.

[dchill]

20. Confession is good for the soul... I'm told.

What's it good for if one has no soul?

[gordianot]

23. More cognitive decline he is even losing his criminal cunning.

Cognitive decline is really difficult when no one really cares about his decline.

[wryter2000]

24. He' nucking futs

[progressoid]

25. Fake Newz!!

If you play this back to Trump followers they won't believe it.

[Celerity]

26. Inflation was consistently lower in Obama's 2nd 4 year term than it was in Trump's 4 year term

2020 was artificially lower due to COVID smashing the economy, but still it was higher for the entire 12 month average than 2015's

27. Poke his Amygdala with an ice pick.

Then swirl it around.

[ShazzieB]

29. If you're talking about a lobotomy, the target would be his frontal lobe.

Not the amygdala. But his brain is already turning into mush without any outside help. Although I guess a lobotomy would speed things up!

36. I don't know my brain but half of it is in my stomach.

28. Here are the Inflation rates Year-To-Year, starting in 2008 (Bush Last Year) to 2020 (Pendejo45's Last Year) ...

2008: 3.84% (+0.99% from previous year) Bush's Last Year

2009: -0.36% (-4.19% from previous year) Obama's First Year
2010: 1.64% (+2.00%)
2011: 3.16% (+1.52%)
2012: 2.07% (-1.09%)
2013: 1.46% (-0.60%)
2014: 1.62% (+0.16%)
2015: 0.12% (-1.50%)
2016: 1.26% (+1.14%) Obama's Last Year

2017: 2.13% (+0.87% from previous year) Pendejo45's First Year
2018: 2.44% (+0.31%)
2019: 1.81% (-0.63%)
2020: 1.23% (+0.58%) Pendejo45's Last Year


As you can see, Inflation was running rampant the last year of Obama at 1.26%
And if you want to see bringing inflation down at a record pace, look at Obams's 1st year, where the inflation rate is -0.36% (which I believe is called Deflation), lowering it by 4.19% from the previous year.

But Pendejo45 is correct, he lowered Inflation to 1.23%, only after he increased it to 2.44% in 2018.

[onenote]

37. I'd be careful about being happy about the deflation in 2009.

The Great Recession is nothing to be happy about. Fortunately, Obama led us out of it.

[aggiesal]

38. I agree. I've told my conservative ''friends'' that when prices go down ...

that's Deflation and that's not what you want, because that means the country is experiencing problems. But too much inflation would mean the same thing.

So a country is healthy when it is experiencing nominal inflation, like what we had during the Obama years.

[brush]

30. Let the moron keep talking. It's the best weapon against him.

[RussBLib]

31. 3-hour speeches

I can see this clown demanding his awesome visage be broadcast live in primetime for a 3-hour nightly rambling of incoherence and mania.

If he were to become president of the US again, that is, which ain't gonna happen.

32. Bad transcription. We don't need to lie!

“I gave you record tax cuts. Record inflation was knocked out. We had inflation like you have never had it…”. [And we knocked it out with tax cuts is the clear meaning.]

C’mon, folks, the actual gibberish should be enough. For instance, I am really loving the Hannibal Lector worship, the sharks v. electric boats - so much genuine brain melt to choose from.

[tavernier]

33. Yes, we aren't republicans.

It’s pretty clear what he said. We don’t need to try to make him look stupid and end up looking stupid ourselves.

[Easterncedar]

35. Just so!

[W_HAMILTON]

40. Yours is the bad transcription here.

Not that we need a transcription to begin with, given there is a video -- you know we have ears, right?

His comment was both ignorant and wrong.

Not sure why you would want to go to bat to defend him and, in doing so, be wrong yourself (based on your own transcription -- you transcribed the "knocked it out" part with the record inflation sentence, but then you go on to say he meant it for the tax cuts sentence? What a tangled web...).

[Easterncedar]

42. I guess we understand it differently

I surely don’t want anyone to imagine I am “going to bat” for the Mango Mussolini.

[Skittles]

43. but he is STILL lying

the tax cuts to the rich did no such thing!

[Easterncedar]

44. Yes. They've been pushing tax cuts for the rich since Reagan. Trickle down. Bah

[RussBLib]

45. "He" didn't knock out record inflation. He helped CAUSE it.

So he's just full of shit.

Inflation during his first few years in office was well under 3%. If he is claiming that THAT was record inflation, he's stupider than I thought. When the pandemic hit, prices started to go wild.

Those tax cuts did NOT in any way reduce inflation.

[Easterncedar]

46. Everything he says is a lie

[RussBLib]

47. Yeah, I find myself stating the obvious

...and then remember this verbal garbage is aimed at his followers, not the real world.
