[Original Comment] I have also edited this comment and added a correction- Dedicated & Inspired by my Grandmother. My rhetoric in this video is solely focused on using arguments and language I think will be compelling to conservative leaning folks I believe genuinely have been mis-informed, largely by no fault of their own. Obviously there are many other issues I personally find important for why I also won't vote for Trump but this is a video to show regardless of political affiliation, Trump is objectively the worse of the two front running options. Hope this can help some of the family members you love that you are unsure how to reach. [Correction] I spoke about the respect I have for others who have the strength to revise and admit wrong in the video and it seems I made 2 mistakes in this video! The point of the video was to inform- not misinform so let me add a couple things. 1. On Military Spending it wasn't intentional but the numbers, while included in citation, were left off screen. China spent 291b, India spent 81.36b, and Russia spent 86.37b. Again these are 2022 numbers, so in the case of Russia, they are at active war. These numbers so not change the point I was making as the US still spends 8x as much as Russia and India, and China and America's economy are so intertwined at this point that any direct war would likely ruin both countries regardless- even so we spend more than twice as much as China. 2. On Aid during Covid, Trump did in fact sign in a $1200 and later a $600 check for citizens as well as one for PPP loans. The way I presented things made it seem like the relief I had believed to be under Trump was wrong, but in fact both Trump and Biden released Aid. I am willing to acknowledge mistakes and I hope if you're reading this, agree with me or not, that you will to! Reality is important!
You can quibble with this point if you want, as attributing Congressional acts to the president's term gets a bit iffy on who deserves credit, but I feel like your second correction is still not quite there either. The original round of stimulus checks were part of the CARES Act, which was pushed largely by House Democrats, since spending bills have to originate in the House and the Democrats controlled the House after 2018. The acute nature of the pandemic and lockdowns basically forced Senate Republicans to vote for it as-is, without resorting to their usual tactics of filibustering the bill to kill it and/or to extract concessions on the final bill, as they knew it would be a bad look for them to be responsible for holding up an aid bill during an unprecedented economic crisis in an election year. Trump just came in at the end and mandated that his signature be added on to the checks, which IIRC actually delayed releasing them by some amount of time.
It’s great that you admit your mistake, about the military spending. But you have to remember that those numbers are in US dollars. China has a large PPP advantage, and it could be argued that at this point the spending power, is similar for both countries miltaries.
Oh, no. A few hundred bucks? Oh no, that's horrible. I find it funny. In recovery for 2008, trillions, literally trillions, were printed and given to the people that almost sent the world into the Great Depression 2.0. There were at least five rounds of quantitative easing. That is literally pretty money, giving you to the people who blew everything up. In exchange for the most toxic assets they had that were dragging them down. So, these bankers, these people were making massive profits as the bubble was inflated. Then, everything explodes, almost sending the world's economy into the dustbin, And they get rewarded with trillions more. more deserved massive profits. It's so funny. Where's the inflation from those trillions printed trillions for those bankers who blow everything up? Where's those inflation numbers? Oh, that's right. They can't because the American people are still suffering from the explosion because they weren't able to pay more money. They weren't able to let the greed raise the prices. It's all manufactured. Period. It's all manufactured. It's all being driven by greed and apathy, the two celebrated virtues of capitalism, which in turn is driving the Anthropocene Extinction Event...
@@christopherc8563 SOME people did. In Florida deathsantis decided to not take aid money. And other times he would take it and put it toward something in the budget that's not aid.
The problem is, a lot of these people don't care about the things they say they care about. You can show them all of the data and evidence that shows they're wrong, and it will bounce off. Because for many, it boils down to "hurting the right people", and that's more important than anything to them.
For a lot of people (like basically anyone on Twitter lol) that is definitely true. But Incase there are any hold outs. People unengaged but going on a vibe, that this could reach them or reach family who could then reach them.
@@HidinginPrivate Fair, I'm probably a bit too online. Also if anybody out there can get their relatives off social media (And ideally off of watching Fox), it does help quite a bit
@@HidinginPrivate yeah thats the thing about this stuff. people talk about it as if its meant to convince hardcore ultra online blackpilled magaheads, but its for the politically uninformed, who would otherwise not vote at all. any amount of convincing genuine right wingers is just an unreliable bonus.
Excellent video. Soldier on: the truth must be told. I am 60, and have been wrestling rhetorically with Maga FB friends (and family) since the golden escalator. It has been long, lonely, and depressing. Except for the fact that I have always felt driven to speak the truth, I sometimes wish I could just turn it off. I need Trump to lose in November, and I need it to be big. I need it like I have needed few things before. Just give me one month with his name or face NOT appearing in the news. Lol. Anyway, good video. Sharing.
The polls don't take into consideration early voting, which is at record levels this time. As I'm sure everyone knows that early voting typically favors the Democrats. So, the polling results may NOT be as close as we think!!
@@TheOzthewiz The polls are also attempting to correct the huge error they made in 2016, and so are adding points to Trump as an offset. Yet, how anyone could vote for Trump is beyond me. This should be a 50 state win.
I agree. These people would rather accept rhetoric and misinformation vote for the candidate who perpetuate this nonsense. It's concerning to have such a deviant individual as the US President who also criticizes America and its military is insane.
Everything right in America that someone, any American (given the money), could make it to that position, and everything wrong about America that it would be Trump that did it. He is everything wrong with capitalism made flesh and poured into an ill fitting suit. Not mine, but still poignant; "Trump is the poor person's idea of a rich man, a weak person's idea of a strong man, and an ignorant person's idea of a smart man."
I wish this was talked about more. People have the impression that Republicans are all about business and the economy. They trust Trump on the economy, in general. But even a cursory glance at the last 30 years, you will see, Republicans are _awful_ on the economy... unless youre in the top 5%. Conservative economic policies are not only devastating for average people who have to work for a living (as opposed to living off their assets, like wealthy), theyre also totally full of it. They _love_ federal money, so pong as it's going to them. They _love_ the government intervening in the market, so long as it protects their interests. And they freaking _love_ defecit spending. From Reagan onward, every Republican admin and GOP congress has spent lavishly on defecit, usually so they can give a handout to their constituents and donors. These are people who go, "yeah, we can add two trillion to the annual defecit to pay for the 2017 rax code." But when it comes to something like paying for your healthcare, or public education? "Sorry, there's no money. 🙄 its like you dont even understand the economy." It drives me crazy how people dont know this, when the record is so clear. It's a tribute to just how effective the GOP is at lying. They live in dogma, not evidence based decisions (ie, like the false "law" that "lowering taxes always grows the economy." Its just taken as unquestioned fact among conservatives, even though cutting has never once worked to grow the economy in US over the last 45 years. It has grown the wealth of the top 5%, but it has never goosed economic growth).
They don't want to know. My hubby who used to be a republican, is of the opinion that they are all swallowing the koolaide that everyone can be a millionaire if they just vote republican often enough, because they are going to "lower your taxes". Not looking at the facts that we need taxes to pay for schools, police, fire departments, new roads and infrastructure and other worthwhile things. In other words they haven't figured out that trickle down really doesn't work.
As a Canadian I've seen numerous articles over the years that show Dems are good for the economy and the GQP is bad. Americans are really bad at being educated about their own politics.
Hope it convinces even one person. I like to think my Mama and Papa already have come to understand my concerns from private conversations but I hope this makes it easier for them to articulate the issues
Im glad to see this generation of young people (and many older) embrace progress in a time when we desperately need it. It's a new progressive era, and there will be opposition as it has historically been, but that's just it - opposition. Doesn't automatically mean they win. They lost during women's suffrage, they lost during civil rights, they lost against LGBT rights.
Let's be honest the Republicans depend on having an uneducated and easily persuaded base. They use them as a conduit to power where they can serve their real masters, the corporations and the very wealthy.
I took the time to choose at random three (3) of your references and I am convinced that they are legit. Very well done! This video should be seen my every American!
Sadly, I do not stand with the democratic party, but I'd rather one that will do the bare minimum to protect human rights than one that is actively trying to dismantle them.
@@ThyFloorestFloor as a former Republican, I know all too well where the party's bodies are buried (the philosophical ones, nobody talks about Tulsa) if there's something particular that's blocking you from voting Democratic.
@@j.f.fisher5318 I am voting democratic because I align myself best with more liberal and progressive ideals, but I still don't see them as the ones best defending the policies they are associating themselves with.
@@HidinginPrivate Ah yes. MAGA movement. When the other one(Biden) *Only need to clarify for the children* caused record high inflation. Record high interest rates and Open borders. Man.... this 2024 election is going to be a TOUGH one. Trump 2024..
True. I could have included that as well. It was hard to know where to stop and start I was just trying to make it digestible in rhetoric for prospective trump voters who may not be too far gone
@@HidinginPrivateIt doesnt matter, democrats have nominated their 2 absolute worst candidates 2 times in a row, 1 completely forgoing democracy to do it. Trump is the only viable option we have
Trump was also called racist for trying to do anything about covid, all while democrats lied to the public to purposely let the virus spread and violated their very own mandates they expected their cultists to follow. Whats your point?
@@HidinginPrivateit was extremely well researched. As a consumer of mostly political content I was like "I want to see what else they have created" only to find out you're a fandom channel. Oh well subbed anyway!
@@HidinginPrivateyou did a great job. I too watched the entire thing with complete interest. It wasn't boring at all. Thank you for all the time you spent doing this. I am sharing it with family I hope might see some light. Wish me luck. Lol
Even as someone with more conservative leaning views I appreciate what this video has to offer because Even as someone with aforementioned views I think trump has been full of hot air about pretty much anything he says and this video pretty much confirms it I also appreciate how respectful you are in this video
During the Obama/Biden years we dodged two potential pandemics, but nobody seemed to notice at the time. The first was COVID I, which I contracted at a meeting in Phoenix and thought I was going to die. However, it never became a pandemic. The second was Ebola, a highly lethal virus from Africa. Obama let the health agencies and the doctors deal with these, there were a few cases in the United States. Then Obama did a terribly courageous action and sent US Health teams to the Ebola stricken regions to help curb the disease spread. Ebola sends shudders down the back of anyone that knows the medical consequences of it. The disease was controlled in Africa and the in the US it never became a big problem even though some of those brave health workers who went to Africa contracted it, but got treatment in the US. Compare that to Trumps "political approach" to controlling vial disease.
Mad respect for you on this one. It’s not super often that I see creators dive feet first into political content in a manner like this. AND to do it so well. I appreciate the information and will do my best to share around whenever possible. Keep up the great work!
It’s upsetting how much Trump has gotten away with. The Republican Party should’ve turned against him after January 6th. Now he’s their nominee, and the race is tight. This shouldn’t be happening. P.S. Thanks for making this video with citations! 💙
As a former Republican, it's worse than most think. There aren't enough voters fired up to strip-mine America and hand everything over to the oligarchy, and they couldn'tbrainwash enough useful idiots like I used to be. So ever since Nixon's Southern Strategy the GOP has relied more and more on deplorables to get enough votes to win. But until Trump they kept the deplorables in the closet to keep from scaring off the brainwashed sheeple such as myself. Then Trump led the deplorables out of the closet and recruited enough more to make up for whoever they scared off. They aren't giving control of the GOP back to the establishment.
It blows my mind. The man is the epitome of all things Anti-American. But he is LITERALLY worshiped. It's like Idol culture in Japan in a way. It is bizarre. Historically. Democrats are better for the country in terms of crime reduction and economic prosperity. The reason is the focus on the working and lower classes. When both prosper so does our economy which directly affects the crime rates. When people need less, there is less need for crime. One thing you will hear conservatives and republicans tell us over and over again that facts don't care about your feelings. What they don't tell you is those facts are cherry-picked to avoid hurting THEIR feelings. The ONLY thing that Republicans do better than democrats is restricting the rights of citizens. The want us to ignore the effect of the Pandemic on Trump's presidency but refuse to accept that same pandemic as having an effect on the Biden presidency. Which is still doing better in a lot of regards than Trump pre-pandemic. Make no mistake, these people do not care about facts. They support alternative facts and could best be described as being a part of Feelings over Facts. But what should we expect from the party that is at war with all things education.
I agree. I have very good friends who are Republican politicians. I pleaded with them to rid the party of trump after Jan 6. After McConnell and McCarthy’s floor speeches properly laying blame on trump for the riot they had clear opportunity to ditch that buffoon and bring sanity back to the GOP. They blew it out of cowardice.
I'm a Brit, in the uk, but I'm sooo worried about Trump getting in again, especially with all of the election interference going on. I made a list on my TH-cam channel months ago, trying to show who Trump REALLY is, and what he REALLY stands for. I will be adding this incredible video. It's THESE sort of facts that people NEED! Thank you so much for your hard work!! 👏👏👏 From a very worried lassie, in Scotland 🏴🇬🇧🌎💐
I presume you are talking about Donald Trump. But to make it clear you could state your sentence this way. 'Trump, the insurrectionist, is a problem creator, not a problem solver.
This is one of the best videos I've seen that summarizes Trump poignantly. I feel like you missed the point about Trump over turning the same task force that would've prevented the pandemic, but I saw your comment about it and understand your reason. Just sticking to the facts alone paints the picture and the anxieties I've been feeling since 2015. It feels like we've been living in loony land all these years with all the misinformation and deflection, but most of what you're talking about is things I've recognized but unable to penetrate my Trump loving family members with. Hopefully more people watch this and wake up.
Trump never took care of the border problem when he was in office and he killed the bill when Biden got in . The border is being taken care of good now Biden made his executive order that he was not waiting he would take care of it💙💙💙💙🗳💙💙💙💙
Big respect for this one - love to see creators not shy away from politics, even when it's not what they're known for. Plus this is a really great collection of research and stats - concise, easy to follow, and substantive
@@HidinginPrivatethis is the first video I've seen from you. You came up in my algo BECAUSE of the political nature of this video. You've done well with this one.
Don't be afraid of politics. Politics is just opinions. If we can't discuss opinions on the world or what we should do, something is very wrong with our society.
Don't insult cockroaches please, unlike Trump they do vital jobs like eating decaying stuff helping fix nitrogen for plants to eat and also help pollinate some plants like Aroids. Trump on the other hand is just a fascist dictator wannabe
YES! A far cry from Reagan's "the shining city on the hill"! And to think , I hated Reagan. Right now, I would become a Republican if someone like Reagan were running!!
Wow, this is fantastic and so helpful. Instead of seeing graphs or hearing about these numbers piecemeal, you've presented it all upfront in comparisons. Thanks for this ❤
Were I a Cartel Coyote that made my living smuggling migrants across the border for $3-5 grand each I would have been showing all prospective clients the many videos of trump saying if Biden gets elected, the border will be wide open. Really good for business.
@@jtjones4081sure but we already know most illegals don’t enter that way, they just overstay their visas and fly here on planes, you’re plugging the crack in the dam with your finger instead of making the lake behind it smaller by looking up to where the snowmelt comes from
Thank you for this video. Nearly every one of my family, friends and coworkers are huge Trump supporters so I don't engage in politics with them. I did before 2016 and 2018 but I realized it was just pushing people away so I stopped. They are unreachable at this point. Their confident certainty that things under Biden is magnitudes worse than under Trump and that Trump magically created the strongest economy in history is ming boggling to me. When he asked me, my dad was in shock when I told him I am much better off now that I was under Trump, and the sad thing is that I can easily see that he is much better off too, but he can't see it himself.
Bravo on this! Amazing how there is so much data and no one else is putting this all together! Wish I could give it 10000 likes so this gets in front of more people.
The reason why we don't hear this is because the trickle-down economics that was Trump's signature economic policy is strongly promoted by a vast network of Political think tanks with bottomless billionaire and corporate funding. Even remotely suggesting that tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation don't "create jobs" will make any public figure an instant target of an endless backlash from those groups. And, it will make mega donors for any politician of any party immediately run at full stride in the opposite direction. Basically, no one who has anything to lose in politics will go anywhere near it.
The reality is those who haven’t already deciphered or figured out who Trump really is based on these past 10 years of Trump shenanigans will by default not have the intelligence to understand the truth and numbers in this video.
I need it to be known that I am happy and pleasantly surprised you're using your talent and skill as a researcher and critical thinker to combat harmful political propaganda
@@thomaschamberlain9811Are you accusing this video of lying? Please identify the lies and provide sources. I'm very interested in your detailed perspective.
@@HidinginPrivateI argue that based on Trump's handling of Covid, not least of which being messaging and lying about the severity and safety measures, that he had a greater direct impact on job losses and inflation.
It’s well documented that inflation was 1.9% when Biden took office, even liberal media acknowledged that fact. How can 9.2% inflation NOT be Biden fault? Maybe because he shut down drilling the very first day in office? Everything in the country is shipped by truck… do fuel prices figure into food costs?

Great video. The funny thing is if you go further than the rabbit hole Bush 41 handed Clinton a troubled economy, Clinton cleaned that up, Bush 43 handed Obama the Great Recession, Obama cleaned that up and you clearing laid out what Trump left Biden to clean-up. I am seeing a pattern here. Keep-up the good work.
Yep! it gets back to the faulty point of "the economy was good under X, so X must be good with the economy!", but that's not how it works in reality. Economic policies take years and years and years for the effect to be fully realized, and then it takes DECADES after that for scientists to be able to accurately isolate and measure the effect of said policies. It's complex, but people want everything to be simple.
The Democrats always clean up the mess from the Republican party. Why even vote Republican. Vote Blue Wave tsunami 🌊🌊🌊 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 straight down the ticket and make America the Best Again For US And The World 🌎🌎🌎🌎.
Ummm, not disagree I g with the overall point, but the very minor recession Bush41 bore responsibility for was trivial in comparison to the smoking economic holes left by Bush43 and Herr Drumpf. From a historical perspective, Bush41 should also get some credit for a few little things like supporting the DoD/DARPA initiatives that led to the internet economy that Clinton gets too much credit for, not to mention a little thing lime the collapse of the Soviet Union and winning the Cold War. TBH, the Cold War outcome was much more an outcome of the Perestroika and Glasnost policies under Gorbachev than anything Reagan/Bush actually did, but building up our military and intelligence services did pressure them greatly.
I'm 59 and our economy mirrors the US Our best years always happen while Labor (Democrats) is in government We have a healthy surplus which we didn't have before
As a lifelong republican I’m appalled at my party leaders for constantly lying and for republican voting masses that are willing to tolerate it because we’re all aware!
Respectfully... have you considered reconsidering Republicanism as a whole? Because Trump is the natural evolution of Republicanism. This is what your party is (and always has) been about. He's just louder about it.
It is sad. I voted Republican and Democrat but now I will never vote Republican if this is their attitude. I don't know why they keep saying they don't want big government but they're trying to control every aspect of our life.
Of course Trump is the worst, but I would encourage you to check out these matrix all the way back into the 60's. In general Republican terms are terrible for the economy, raise national debt and deficit more than Democrats, raise crime and lower enforcement. And problems like the move to fiat currency and the disconnect of GDP to currency in circulation (offset again with stupid national debt), and all the banking and stock market deregulating causing a lot of currency printed out of thin air by non government entities - are firmly caused by Republican policy. Democrats are the "fiscally conservative" party who improve the economy using less government spending as much as they can in their terms despite the Republican obstruction. This is why financially educated people who are not billionaires or greedy multi-millionairs tend to vote Democrat.
I am swing state voter with a pre-existing condition that costs me $80k per year to treat through insurance. I will NOT vote Republican in 2024. I wil NEVER, EVER vote Republican. I will NEVER vote to put Republicans in charge of healthcare. Thank you Captain John S. McCain and Senator Lisa Murkowski. By rejecting Trump's attempt to repeal Obamacare you saved me from a chronic condition for 10 years that I would not wish on my worst enemy.
John McCain was a TRUE hero for the "thumbs down" on killing Obama Care! Trump's "concept" of a health care plan WILL NEVER materialize. He DOES NOT care if you live or die. All he cares about is "crowd size" AND Arnold Palmer's SCHLONG size! lol

@truckerdave8465 Amen, brother. I know the feeling. My poor grandmother stays locked up in her room all day everyday where you can always hear Fox News playing even while she sleeps. I've tried gently suggesting she watch other things to for her own mental well-being, but she doesn't seem to care too. Unlike with my old man, I don't even expect her to change her mind. But her mind has already noticeably begun slipping, and it's painful to think her last years will be spent in manufactured terror in order to line the pockets of some faceless dildo.

@Error403HRD sounds like your mother actually needs to read the story of Jesus herself and not let her Church steer her to the couple misinterpreted sentences of the Old Testament they likely rage about every week.
The quote from a Trump supporter early in his administration when her husband was being deported sums up those particular voters well: "He's hurting the wrong people." If you vote to hurt someone then you are a bad person.
Excellent. I sincerely hope that my family and friends will watch your video in its entirety. Thank you for the countless hours of research and analysis and heart that you have given this extraordinary and illustrative review of one of our country's active tragedies.
Right-wing America launders lies like this, but also talking points that are pro-Russia, pro-Israel, anti-Immigration, anti-Intentional Aid, etc etc. Not to be egotistical, but America does have a big impact on the world stage.
I do live here in the us. My mom had friends in France and she said when Trump was elected back in 2016 even THEY were surrounded by the news about it. The entire world was in disbelief!!!!
i watched this through with my partner and i really appreciate the tone you spoke in. this was a good watch and i wish you the best for showing this to your family :)
Great video. Policy should be guided by the facts, but in today's politics, the policy is put forth, then they search for the facts to back their policy up while ignoring other facts that do not support the policy. We as a nation have to get back to fact based policy on both sides of the political system. This is why I cannot vote for Republicans right now. They just don't follow the facts. While the Democrats are not perfect and have policies that I think are questionable, they are at least allowing the facts to guide their policies.
@lumberfox89 she was on the ticket... you know, the Biden/ HARRIS ticket?? Biden dropped out, so she was the obvious choice. You don't like the fact that she's a far superior candidate and a far better human being than your cult leader - so you're complaining about it. Saying people didn't vote for her is a disingenuous right wing talking point. 🙄 Congratulations.

This is a very well put together video. I was surprised how similar my experiences were to yours. I was a student in 2016, and my teachers pushed Trump heavily in class. I now know that they totally should have gotten into trouble for that, but I was a stupid kid listening to adults I somewhat trusted. I realized a few years later how different reality was to how my teachers had told me. I hope we see some change soon. Politics have become a wildly toxic and dangerous game. We need to remember that we’re talking to people that have their own lives and emotions. Great job on not being overly aggressive, I really appreciate that
You can't reason someone out of something that they didn't reason themselves into. If someone else reasoned them into it, they'll believe the other person over all else.
@@Zyo117emotions then post hoc rationalization People always "logic" their way into their beliefs, but we somehow don't understand that how things feel came first? The validity of the logic varies wildly, of course, and a better understanding of logic can change how different ideas feel, but ultimately this is a battle of emotion and feelings. I'll prove it. What is a famous conservative tagline? "Facts over feelings" They're accusing their enemies of doing what they do, manipulate feelings to get what they want. They always project. Always.
This is very true. I'm dealing with my mom and sister being completely captured by internet romance scams. One believes she's in a relationship with Morgan Wallen, and the other believes she's in a relationship with Luke Bryan. They've sent unknown thousands to the scammers.
Thank you so much for your time and effort in putting this video together. Sadly it will not be watched by the millions of Trump supporters who believe that "if you don't watch anything containing facts and logic, they do not exist!"
Keep up the good work ! No knowledge is wasted and even if you provide just a bulwark against misinformation, it’s better than leaving those you reach in the dark.
FYI. Job creation under GOP administrations are far lower than under Democratic administrations. Since Reagan they've had more time in the majority and far fewer job creation numbers.
I have Republican friends who refuse to admit The Orange is unfit for office and claim, "He ran the country like a business." Possibly, but clearly like one of HIS, soooo, that's not a good thing... 😂
Running the country like one of his businesses is the _only_ campaign promise he kept-- he stole company money for himself and crashed the economy for everyone else.
he has six bankruptcies under his belt. american would have gone bankrupt under his administration had it not been for the obama era safeguards that automatically stepped in and prevented the country from collapsing.
At various points in the last four years I've looked for economists doing research and summations of Trump's term but really haven't found anything. There was one article that talked to a number of economists but the ones that gave him a positive review literally said "it doesn't really show in the data, but people certainly believed they were better off" (so feelings not facts). I've often told people to pick a metric they think shows his awesome incredible "best in history" job on the economy and look at the chart without looking at the years. You can always clearly find when Bush left office and Obama took over. Even looking at the years, it's often hard to find any real change in the charts. There are no "hockey sticks" where he turned things around. The only chart that Trump is on that shows a consistent positive rate is the number of times he repeats that we had the best economy in history under his term and that it was because of him. Good job putting this together, esp with citations.
@HidinginPrivate I totally get that, I have a lot of anxiety around simply sharing stuff lol. Thanks for speaking up, I think this format of explaining these issues is very important
@@HidinginPrivate I'm sure it was stressful to put this video out, but you did an EXCELLENT job and cited sources, and even made corrections.

Kinda like the fact Biden-Harris admin keep quietly revising their jobs reports numbers to lower numbers but liberals keep saying the economy is good because the house their parents purchased 30 years ago for 40k is now worth a million.

My rhetoric in this video is solely focused on using arguments and language I think will be compelling to conservative leaning folks I believe genuinely have been mis-informed, largely by no fault of their own. Obviously there are many other issues I personally find important for why I also won't vote for Trump but this is a video to show regardless of political affiliation, Trump is objectively the worse of the two front running options. Hope this can help some of the family members you love that you are unsure how to reach.
[Correction]
I spoke about the respect I have for others who have the strength to revise and admit wrong in the video and it seems I made 2 mistakes in this video! The point of the video was to inform- not misinform so let me add a couple things.
1. On Military Spending it wasn't intentional but the numbers, while included in citation, were left off screen. China spent 291b, India spent 81.36b, and Russia spent 86.37b. Again these are 2022 numbers, so in the case of Russia, they are at active war. These numbers so not change the point I was making as the US still spends 8x as much as Russia and India, and China and America's economy are so intertwined at this point that any direct war would likely ruin both countries regardless- even so we spend more than twice as much as China.
2. On Aid during Covid, Trump did in fact sign in a $1200 and later a $600 check for citizens as well as one for PPP loans. The way I presented things made it seem like the relief I had believed to be under Trump was wrong, but in fact both Trump and Biden released Aid.
I am willing to acknowledge mistakes and I hope if you're reading this, agree with me or not, that you will to! Reality is important!
You can quibble with this point if you want, as attributing Congressional acts to the president's term gets a bit iffy on who deserves credit, but I feel like your second correction is still not quite there either. The original round of stimulus checks were part of the CARES Act, which was pushed largely by House Democrats, since spending bills have to originate in the House and the Democrats controlled the House after 2018. The acute nature of the pandemic and lockdowns basically forced Senate Republicans to vote for it as-is, without resorting to their usual tactics of filibustering the bill to kill it and/or to extract concessions on the final bill, as they knew it would be a bad look for them to be responsible for holding up an aid bill during an unprecedented economic crisis in an election year. Trump just came in at the end and mandated that his signature be added on to the checks, which IIRC actually delayed releasing them by some amount of time.
It’s great that you admit your mistake, about the military spending. But you have to remember that those numbers are in US dollars. China has a large PPP advantage, and it could be argued that at this point the spending power, is similar for both countries miltaries.
The federal government also subsidized unemployment, people got extra few hundred for 6 months or something
Oh, no. A few hundred bucks? Oh no, that's horrible.
I find it funny. In recovery for 2008, trillions, literally trillions, were printed and given to the people that almost sent the world into the Great Depression 2.0. There were at least five rounds of quantitative easing. That is literally pretty money, giving you to the people who blew everything up. In exchange for the most toxic assets they had that were dragging them down. So, these bankers, these people were making massive profits as the bubble was inflated. Then, everything explodes, almost sending the world's economy into the dustbin, And they get rewarded with trillions more. more deserved massive profits.
It's so funny. Where's the inflation from those trillions printed trillions for those bankers who blow everything up? Where's those inflation numbers? Oh, that's right. They can't because the American people are still suffering from the explosion because they weren't able to pay more money. They weren't able to let the greed raise the prices.
It's all manufactured. Period. It's all manufactured. It's all being driven by greed and apathy, the two celebrated virtues of capitalism, which in turn is driving the Anthropocene Extinction Event...
@@christopherc8563 SOME people did. In Florida deathsantis decided to not take aid money. And other times he would take it and put it toward something in the budget that's not aid.
The problem is, a lot of these people don't care about the things they say they care about. You can show them all of the data and evidence that shows they're wrong, and it will bounce off. Because for many, it boils down to "hurting the right people", and that's more important than anything to them.
For a lot of people (like basically anyone on Twitter lol) that is definitely true. But Incase there are any hold outs. People unengaged but going on a vibe, that this could reach them or reach family who could then reach them.
@@HidinginPrivate Fair, I'm probably a bit too online. Also if anybody out there can get their relatives off social media (And ideally off of watching Fox), it does help quite a bit

@@lindabalent2755 They've all have been infected with trump Contagion.
The fact that this election is even close is shameful.
The polls don't take into consideration early voting, which is at record levels this time. As I'm sure everyone knows that early voting typically favors the Democrats. So, the polling results may NOT be as close as we think!!
@@TheOzthewiz The polls are also attempting to correct the huge error they made in 2016, and so are adding points to Trump as an offset. Yet, how anyone could vote for Trump is beyond me. This should be a 50 state win.
It will be disappointing if trump doesn't lose the Electoral College 538-0 and the popular vote by 160 Million+ to 6.
I agree. These people would rather accept rhetoric and misinformation vote for the candidate who perpetuate this nonsense. It's concerning to have such a deviant individual as the US President who also criticizes America and its military is insane.
Everything right in America that someone, any American (given the money), could make it to that position, and everything wrong about America that it would be Trump that did it.
He is everything wrong with capitalism made flesh and poured into an ill fitting suit. Not mine, but still poignant;
"Trump is the poor person's idea of a rich man, a weak person's idea of a strong man, and an ignorant person's idea of a smart man."
I wish this was talked about more. People have the impression that Republicans are all about business and the economy. They trust Trump on the economy, in general.
But even a cursory glance at the last 30 years, you will see, Republicans are _awful_ on the economy... unless youre in the top 5%. Conservative economic policies are not only devastating for average people who have to work for a living (as opposed to living off their assets, like wealthy), theyre also totally full of it. They _love_ federal money, so pong as it's going to them. They _love_ the government intervening in the market, so long as it protects their interests. And they freaking _love_ defecit spending. From Reagan onward, every Republican admin and GOP congress has spent lavishly on defecit, usually so they can give a handout to their constituents and donors. These are people who go, "yeah, we can add two trillion to the annual defecit to pay for the 2017 rax code." But when it comes to something like paying for your healthcare, or public education? "Sorry, there's no money. 🙄 its like you dont even understand the economy."
It drives me crazy how people dont know this, when the record is so clear. It's a tribute to just how effective the GOP is at lying. They live in dogma, not evidence based decisions (ie, like the false "law" that "lowering taxes always grows the economy." Its just taken as unquestioned fact among conservatives, even though cutting has never once worked to grow the economy in US over the last 45 years. It has grown the wealth of the top 5%, but it has never goosed economic growth).
Or at least, just how desperate their base is to believe what they’re saying.
They don't want to know. My hubby who used to be a republican, is of the opinion that they are all swallowing the koolaide that everyone can be a millionaire if they just vote republican often enough, because they are going to "lower your taxes". Not looking at the facts that we need taxes to pay for schools, police, fire departments, new roads and infrastructure and other worthwhile things. In other words they haven't figured out that trickle down really doesn't work.
As a Canadian I've seen numerous articles over the years that show Dems are good for the economy and the GQP is bad. Americans are really bad at being educated about their own politics.
*deficit
Trump is on video literally saying that Democrats are better for the economy. It’s an easy to find clip too. He’s said it many times.

Im glad to see this generation of young people (and many older) embrace progress in a time when we desperately need it. It's a new progressive era, and there will be opposition as it has historically been, but that's just it - opposition. Doesn't automatically mean they win. They lost during women's suffrage, they lost during civil rights, they lost against LGBT rights.
no, only one side is responsible for this.
vote to ensure they LOSE the power they seek.
@@ThatOpalGuy don't be vague, say the name of that side. Let people hear whose fault it is.
I think this video explains why people with a higher education tend to not vote for trump.
There's a reason trump loves the uneducated. They form a real voting block which is compatible with the voting block that is afraid of brown skin.
Word
Anyone whom is honest with themselves about reality wouldn't vote to have their rights taken away.
Not just a higher education. Anyone with average plus IQ doesn’t vote for trump and to be fair to some anyone with a memory doesn’t either.
Let's be honest the Republicans depend on having an uneducated and easily persuaded base. They use them as a conduit to power where they can serve their real masters, the corporations and the very wealthy.
I took the time to choose at random three (3) of your references and I am convinced that they are legit. Very well done! This video should be seen my every American!

It’s so hard to pretend that both sides are equal when one blatantly lies and constantly tries to undo democracy

And I pretty much hope that since you realize what a cancer Trump is on America you'll vote for Harris/Walz.
During the Obama/Biden years we dodged two potential pandemics, but nobody seemed to notice at the time. The first was COVID I, which I contracted at a meeting in Phoenix and thought I was going to die. However, it never became a pandemic. The second was Ebola, a highly lethal virus from Africa. Obama let the health agencies and the doctors deal with these, there were a few cases in the United States. Then Obama did a terribly courageous action and sent US Health teams to the Ebola stricken regions to help curb the disease spread. Ebola sends shudders down the back of anyone that knows the medical consequences of it. The disease was controlled in Africa and the in the US it never became a big problem even though some of those brave health workers who went to Africa contracted it, but got treatment in the US. Compare that to Trumps "political approach" to controlling vial disease.
Mad respect for you on this one. It’s not super often that I see creators dive feet first into political content in a manner like this. AND to do it so well. I appreciate the information and will do my best to share around whenever possible. Keep up the great work!

It’s upsetting how much Trump has gotten away with. The Republican Party should’ve turned against him after January 6th. Now he’s their nominee, and the race is tight. This shouldn’t be happening.
P.S.
Thanks for making this video with citations! 💙
As a former Republican, it's worse than most think. There aren't enough voters fired up to strip-mine America and hand everything over to the oligarchy, and they couldn'tbrainwash enough useful idiots like I used to be. So ever since Nixon's Southern Strategy the GOP has relied more and more on deplorables to get enough votes to win. But until Trump they kept the deplorables in the closet to keep from scaring off the brainwashed sheeple such as myself. Then Trump led the deplorables out of the closet and recruited enough more to make up for whoever they scared off. They aren't giving control of the GOP back to the establishment.
It blows my mind. The man is the epitome of all things Anti-American. But he is LITERALLY worshiped. It's like Idol culture in Japan in a way. It is bizarre. Historically. Democrats are better for the country in terms of crime reduction and economic prosperity. The reason is the focus on the working and lower classes. When both prosper so does our economy which directly affects the crime rates. When people need less, there is less need for crime. One thing you will hear conservatives and republicans tell us over and over again that facts don't care about your feelings. What they don't tell you is those facts are cherry-picked to avoid hurting THEIR feelings. The ONLY thing that Republicans do better than democrats is restricting the rights of citizens. The want us to ignore the effect of the Pandemic on Trump's presidency but refuse to accept that same pandemic as having an effect on the Biden presidency. Which is still doing better in a lot of regards than Trump pre-pandemic. Make no mistake, these people do not care about facts. They support alternative facts and could best be described as being a part of Feelings over Facts. But what should we expect from the party that is at war with all things education.
I agree. I have very good friends who are Republican politicians. I pleaded with them to rid the party of trump after Jan 6. After McConnell and McCarthy’s floor speeches properly laying blame on trump for the riot they had clear opportunity to ditch that buffoon and bring sanity back to the GOP. They blew it out of cowardice.

He DOESN'T care about you or me. Just cares about himself!
This is one of the best videos I've seen that summarizes Trump poignantly. I feel like you missed the point about Trump over turning the same task force that would've prevented the pandemic, but I saw your comment about it and understand your reason. Just sticking to the facts alone paints the picture and the anxieties I've been feeling since 2015. It feels like we've been living in loony land all these years with all the misinformation and deflection, but most of what you're talking about is things I've recognized but unable to penetrate my Trump loving family members with. Hopefully more people watch this and wake up.

Thank you for this video. Nearly every one of my family, friends and coworkers are huge Trump supporters so I don't engage in politics with them. I did before 2016 and 2018 but I realized it was just pushing people away so I stopped. They are unreachable at this point. Their confident certainty that things under Biden is magnitudes worse than under Trump and that Trump magically created the strongest economy in history is ming boggling to me. When he asked me, my dad was in shock when I told him I am much better off now that I was under Trump, and the sad thing is that I can easily see that he is much better off too, but he can't see it himself.
I have the same thing with my family and friends. This is horrifying
Bravo on this! Amazing how there is so much data and no one else is putting this all together! Wish I could give it 10000 likes so this gets in front of more people.
The reason why we don't hear this is because the trickle-down economics that was Trump's signature economic policy is strongly promoted by a vast network of Political think tanks with bottomless billionaire and corporate funding. Even remotely suggesting that tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation don't "create jobs" will make any public figure an instant target of an endless backlash from those groups. And, it will make mega donors for any politician of any party immediately run at full stride in the opposite direction. Basically, no one who has anything to lose in politics will go anywhere near it.
Nice job using facts and reality. Putting the truth out there is the best thing to do.

Great video. The funny thing is if you go further than the rabbit hole Bush 41 handed Clinton a troubled economy, Clinton cleaned that up, Bush 43 handed Obama the Great Recession, Obama cleaned that up and you clearing laid out what Trump left Biden to clean-up. I am seeing a pattern here. Keep-up the good work.
Yep! it gets back to the faulty point of "the economy was good under X, so X must be good with the economy!", but that's not how it works in reality. Economic policies take years and years and years for the effect to be fully realized, and then it takes DECADES after that for scientists to be able to accurately isolate and measure the effect of said policies. It's complex, but people want everything to be simple.
The Democrats always clean up the mess from the Republican party. Why even vote Republican. Vote Blue Wave tsunami 🌊🌊🌊 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 straight down the ticket and make America the Best Again For US And The World 🌎🌎🌎🌎.
Ummm, not disagree I g with the overall point, but the very minor recession Bush41 bore responsibility for was trivial in comparison to the smoking economic holes left by Bush43 and Herr Drumpf. From a historical perspective, Bush41 should also get some credit for a few little things like supporting the DoD/DARPA initiatives that led to the internet economy that Clinton gets too much credit for, not to mention a little thing lime the collapse of the Soviet Union and winning the Cold War. TBH, the Cold War outcome was much more an outcome of the Perestroika and Glasnost policies under Gorbachev than anything Reagan/Bush actually did, but building up our military and intelligence services did pressure them greatly.

Respectfully... have you considered reconsidering Republicanism as a whole?
Because Trump is the natural evolution of Republicanism. This is what your party is (and always has) been about. He's just louder about it.
It is sad. I voted Republican and Democrat but now I will never vote Republican if this is their attitude. I don't know why they keep saying they don't want big government but they're trying to control every aspect of our life.
Of course Trump is the worst, but I would encourage you to check out these matrix all the way back into the 60's.
In general Republican terms are terrible for the economy, raise national debt and deficit more than Democrats, raise crime and lower enforcement.
And problems like the move to fiat currency and the disconnect of GDP to currency in circulation (offset again with stupid national debt), and all the banking and stock market deregulating causing a lot of currency printed out of thin air by non government entities - are firmly caused by Republican policy.
Democrats are the "fiscally conservative" party who improve the economy using less government spending as much as they can in their terms despite the Republican obstruction.
This is why financially educated people who are not billionaires or greedy multi-millionairs tend to vote Democrat.

Update: He did not want to listen. He chose yelling instead 😔
@@Error0101 I’m so sorry. My mom, bless her heart, is just kinda…old and dumb. At least we’ve learned and will keep on breaking the cycle.
@truckerdave8465
Amen, brother. I know the feeling. My poor grandmother stays locked up in her room all day everyday where you can always hear Fox News playing even while she sleeps. I've tried gently suggesting she watch other things to for her own mental well-being, but she doesn't seem to care too.
Unlike with my old man, I don't even expect her to change her mind. But her mind has already noticeably begun slipping, and it's painful to think her last years will be spent in manufactured terror in order to line the pockets of some faceless dildo.

Oh, and good luck and my condolences for your mom!
I was going to complain about this video appearing my my feed. But then I saw you made this for your grandma. Respect 🫡
Grandmas come first.
I appreciate that. Yeah it was sort of like, I spent a lot of time and realized it would be a waste to not release it publicly
@@HidinginPrivateI appreciate this. It’s the video I wanted to make for my mom, who is likely at least as old as your grandma, if not older. I’ve just been too busy. I’m sharing it with everyone I know and we’re all old with TH-cam premium so there’s that.
Thank you. Seriously. 💙

Well done! Excellent review. I appreciate your hard work putting this presentation together.
Do you plan on analyzing Project 2025? I think this was a really well-made video. The citations are especially useful.
Yes, please.
It's well over 900 pages, and it's a rather lot to follow.
Great idea!
Project 2025 and abortion are what's gonna doom the GOP.

There's also a "School House Rock" style video on Project 2025 that, well, ROCKS!
It's a shame this won't sway my mother. She only wants to hurt LGBT people and immigrants and doesn't care what else happens. Some catholic she is...
Wonderful work, and well-researched! Any decent person will look at this and not vote for Trump. It's just unfortunate that not everyone IS a decent person.
@Error403HRD sounds like your mother actually needs to read the story of Jesus herself and not let her Church steer her to the couple misinterpreted sentences of the Old Testament they likely rage about every week.
@5353Jumper she doesn't even go to church because the catholic church here was "too liberal", this is all her...
The quote from a Trump supporter early in his administration when her husband was being deported sums up those particular voters well:
"He's hurting the wrong people."
If you vote to hurt someone then you are a bad person.

Excellent. I sincerely hope that my family and friends will watch your video in its entirety. Thank you for the countless hours of research and analysis and heart that you have given this extraordinary and illustrative review of one of our country's active tragedies.
The disco elysium background goes hard for this topic in particular.
It felt fitting
Ooooh that's what it is. It looked really weird and was confusing me, but now it makes perfect sense.
So this is what being in the pale feels like.
I was thinking that
Thanks for the data and research! You definitely did your do diligence ..I wish the average American cate about facts not feelings
Why am I watching this? I have never set a foot in the US.
Right-wing America launders lies like this, but also talking points that are pro-Russia, pro-Israel, anti-Immigration, anti-Intentional Aid, etc etc. Not to be egotistical, but America does have a big impact on the world stage.
@@TrentR42 I know this. I just didn't have a better comment idea but still wanted to boost the video in the algorithm.
Idk but I appreciate ut
I do live here in the us. My mom had friends in France and she said when Trump was elected back in 2016 even THEY were surrounded by the news about it. The entire world was in disbelief!!!!
Look up a map of American military bases. Their issues are sadly our issues
i watched this through with my partner and i really appreciate the tone you spoke in. this was a good watch and i wish you the best for showing this to your family :)
Great video. Policy should be guided by the facts, but in today's politics, the policy is put forth, then they search for the facts to back their policy up while ignoring other facts that do not support the policy. We as a nation have to get back to fact based policy on both sides of the political system. This is why I cannot vote for Republicans right now. They just don't follow the facts. While the Democrats are not perfect and have policies that I think are questionable, they are at least allowing the facts to guide their policies.
Finally an in depth analysis on lapis
Indeed. I'll have to do balrog next
@@HidinginPrivateOh Balrog would be very interesting!
@@HidinginPrivate YOU SHALL NOT PASS

Thank you for doing all the research, collecting the facts and figures and the rest of the work that went into this video. Good work!
I care for America's Democracy 100% percent.
I will vote for future Madam President Kamala Harris
What primary did she win? You didn't get to select your candidate. She was selected for you.... Democracy, lol
@@lumberfox89the orange kkklown did the twice so go away maga kkklown
It's not a democracy and was never meant to be.
@lumberfox89 she was on the ticket... you know, the Biden/ HARRIS ticket?? Biden dropped out, so she was the obvious choice. You don't like the fact that she's a far superior candidate and a far better human being than your cult leader - so you're complaining about it. Saying people didn't vote for her is a disingenuous right wing talking point. 🙄 Congratulations. You're the type of person spreading the BS that got us here in the first place and this video aims to dispel. P.S. I'm not a Democrat either - I am a lifelong independent who supported trump in 2016.
@@lumberfox89 She was on the primary ballot with Biden. Rest assured, we *did* vote for her. We pay attention to the VP pick. It's the only reason I couldn't vote for John McCain.
Elderly member of the family that has voted Republican since Ronnie Reagan. Never again. Trumps another Mussolini.
That's a positive thing to hear
Thank you sir. For caring about the county over the party. That's the America we need to go back to. Not Trump's version.
_"Trumps another Mussolini."_
Yep, Mango Mussolini
BAHAHA!
what drugs did you give them? Trump isn't a Mussolini, that would require him to behave like Biden.
@@jchoneandonlyoh please you never actually read first source books huh? Oh yes trump shares far more similarities to Hitler and Mussolini then Biden does.
After all trump loves Putin and Kim Jung Un and the Saudi murder prince. So either leave the trump fascist cult or live with being labeled a fascist and potentially getting your job lost.
Well done video. Using and citing facts without appealing to emotions.
Very well done! I really appreciate those that cite their sources, thanks a million!

@@charlieevergreen3514 sorry get isekaied
You’ve done a great job with all your research and it deserves a wide audience.
This is a very well put together video. I was surprised how similar my experiences were to yours. I was a student in 2016, and my teachers pushed Trump heavily in class. I now know that they totally should have gotten into trouble for that, but I was a stupid kid listening to adults I somewhat trusted. I realized a few years later how different reality was to how my teachers had told me. I hope we see some change soon. Politics have become a wildly toxic and dangerous game. We need to remember that we’re talking to people that have their own lives and emotions. Great job on not being overly aggressive, I really appreciate that
Thank Gawd that there are not a lot of tRump-tard teachers in the schools around here....
I'm with YOU! Bravo! Keep going! What a lot of work to.simply tell the truth Please don't atop!
An excellent presentation! Every American should see this.
it is easier to scam someone than to convince them they have been scammed. Cults are deadly
You would know your in one.
You can't reason someone out of something that they didn't reason themselves into. If someone else reasoned them into it, they'll believe the other person over all else.
@@thomaschamberlain9811ill work on leaving my cult if you work on leaving yours
Deal?
@@Zyo117emotions then post hoc rationalization
People always "logic" their way into their beliefs, but we somehow don't understand that how things feel came first?
The validity of the logic varies wildly, of course, and a better understanding of logic can change how different ideas feel, but ultimately this is a battle of emotion and feelings.
I'll prove it. What is a famous conservative tagline?
"Facts over feelings"
They're accusing their enemies of doing what they do, manipulate feelings to get what they want. They always project. Always.
This is very true. I'm dealing with my mom and sister being completely captured by internet romance scams. One believes she's in a relationship with Morgan Wallen, and the other believes she's in a relationship with Luke Bryan. They've sent unknown thousands to the scammers.
Thank you so much for your time and effort in putting this video together. Sadly it will not be watched by the millions of Trump supporters who believe that "if you don't watch anything containing facts and logic, they do not exist!"
Your sincerity, thoroughness and morality is the biggest thing to make me question my *lack* of faith in a long time. Great work!
Sad certain people still not listen.
Really appreciate you taking the same rigor you use for media analysis and applying it to verifiable facts in politics❤
Sure! I'm not perfect, I made a couple silly mistakes but on the whole I think it was good for a first go!
It's crazy that people think Trump and the Republicans are "better" on the economy.
Keep up the good work ! No knowledge is wasted and even if you provide just a bulwark against misinformation, it’s better than leaving those you reach in the dark.
Great video. Well done.
Thanks
This is the most thorough, straightforward and honest explanation I have seen! Thank you!

@@airbrushken5339 You Right About That.
Trump lies to himself too he's nuts ! You take that microphone away from him he will go crazy 😧 he's totally caught up with himself.
If DonOLD accuses you of doing something nefarious and illegal, it's because he's already done it himself.
The same goes for any top politician.

FYI. Job creation under GOP administrations are far lower than under Democratic administrations. Since Reagan they've had more time in the majority and far fewer job creation numbers.

this is one of the most powerful videos to show the right, I wish this was put on every single television in the United States
I have Republican friends who refuse to admit The Orange is unfit for office and claim, "He ran the country like a business." Possibly, but clearly like one of HIS, soooo, that's not a good thing... 😂
He ran the country like one of his businesses. By that I mean he made us crash and burn.
Your response should be that this is the dude whose casinos in Atlantic City went bankrupt. 🤷🏾♂️💩
Running the country like one of his businesses is the _only_ campaign promise he kept-- he stole company money for himself and crashed the economy for everyone else.
he has six bankruptcies under his belt. american would have gone bankrupt under his administration had it not been for the obama era safeguards that automatically stepped in and prevented the country from collapsing.

Send it they need to know if trump gets in we're all doomed and they sure won't like what's going to happen.
When it's about America democracy, no question, no fear.
I am old, so I am not afraid of sharing this. It just dismays me that so many people refuse to drop the lies they have been told by the GOP.
Make America Get Angry about the lies and slander and VOTE BLUE.
At various points in the last four years I've looked for economists doing research and summations of Trump's term but really haven't found anything. There was one article that talked to a number of economists but the ones that gave him a positive review literally said "it doesn't really show in the data, but people certainly believed they were better off" (so feelings not facts).
I've often told people to pick a metric they think shows his awesome incredible "best in history" job on the economy and look at the chart without looking at the years. You can always clearly find when Bush left office and Obama took over. Even looking at the years, it's often hard to find any real change in the charts. There are no "hockey sticks" where he turned things around.
The only chart that Trump is on that shows a consistent positive rate is the number of times he repeats that we had the best economy in history under his term and that it was because of him.
Good job putting this together, esp with citations.
This is VERY well done, and I greatly appreciate your contribution to TRUTH. 🤣

@@HidinginPrivate Worked for my dad. He had to get off social media first though.
Kinda like the fact Biden-Harris admin keep quietly revising their jobs reports numbers to lower numbers but liberals keep saying the economy is good because the house their parents purchased 30 years ago for 40k is now worth a million.
@@HidinginPrivate maybe you could try to turn parts of this video into shorts and post them all over tiktok and facebook so they have a better chance of possibly picking up momentum and reaching your target audience.
