While recessions are undesirable, a shallow recession will kill inflation. Is that what the president is aiming for? Who knows
20’ doesn’t count.
It was a global pandemic, and everything nearly everywhere shut down to “stop the spread”
I can appreciate criticism of the POTUS- free speech is king- but context is important.
Amazing how the US has grown into the dominant world economy with all those recessions.

We would have been in a recession under Biden but his administration changed the way they classify a recession.
This isn’t the “GOP bad”, you are wanting to convey. This just shows that recessions have been around for decades. And attributable to many factors-maybe stick with the 8 crayon box and leave the 32 count box to others
Trump intentionally destroyed our retirement accounts
Trump’s record-breaking #stockmarketcrash is staggering!
Repubblecans inhereit bad economy from democrats but by the time they fix it elections up.
It’s almost as if they inherit a mess. The economy is down stream of action.
Tristan Snell and the Recession Regression
Now pulling facts out of his ass since forever 

“Just look at the data!” squawks Tristan Snell, master of cherry-picking and professional Twitter clown. “Most recessions since 1950 happened under Republican presidents… so
Eisenhower also got shit done, where u think the interstates came from? Reagan toppled the USSR, and Trump had DEFLATION in his 1st term.
Here they go with the same old playbook lol we gonna act like COVID didn't happen again? Yall seriously need a new strategy this shit is old and tired

no lies detected. uncanny how the party that's supposedly the best for the economy always runs it into the ground.
There were two recessions in Reagan's 8-year tenure.
Ready, set, GO! President Trump's term is off to a GREAT start. What should House Republicans do to help him? RESPOND >>

GOP heavy on the recessions!!
GOP can’t govern all voters, because they were bribed to help only billionaire donors.
Since 1950, 10/11 US recessions hit under GOP presidents. Dems deliver stronger growth—4.23% GDP vs. 2.36% under Republicans.
Republicans break the economy. Democrats rebuild. Wash, rinse, repeat. So sick of this cycle!
Pre 1950 recessions are also led by the Republicans.
We ignoring 2022-2023 when we had negative GDP growth for multiple quarters?

And every hundred years or so kabaam!
An economic shock so profound they have to wait till everyone who remembers it is dead before they cause another.
Demonic shit.
It’s because they have to pay back their big donors who get them elected with tax cuts that we can’t afford. Like a broken record, the GOP uses their failed “trickle-down” economics to justify it, run up the deficit, and then blame the Democrats.
Fuk Trump and the GOP
Is it clear yet? Though Eisenhower had a good reason, unlike the rest.

Republican politicians are a dangerous combination of incompetence, ignorance and arrogance.
From 1953 to 2020, 10 of the last 11 recessions have been under Republican presidents.
I’ve had it with these ignorant, incoherent, idiotic motherfuckers.
There was also a recession under Biden if you follow the traditional definition of 2 consecutive quarters of shrinking GDP. The Fed decided not to officially declare it a recession that time because they said that other indicators remained strong.
And that one time it happened to a Democrat, we had the biggest red wave in history. Unreal
I am begging someone to find the Republicans "flashy thing" and dismantle it with DOGE like precision.

Realize the recessions took time and that many of the recessions started with the previous administration before the next one.

Props to Eisenhower who presided over 3 recessions, had like 50 heart attacks, got caught lying about the U-2 incident, let the Russians get ahead of us in the space race, let the Communists take control of Cuba, and still somehow left office as the most admired man in America.
It’s also important to mention that many of these recessions were caused by democratic admins, but they were voted out just before the recession happened, like the ‘53 one, the ‘69 one, or even the ‘81 one. The ones in ‘01 and ‘20 were pretty much unpreventable.
Wait wait so now we had a recession during covid? Can you please tell me when that happened, because the Biden administration changed the definition and said we weren’t in one?
Republicans are good at propaganda and bullshit. Their voters are marks and many just plain gullible & stupid apparently.
That's because Republicans usually get voted in before or during a recession. To fix the country after democrats mess it up.
Everyone forgets that the democrats don't call it a recession when they have 2 consecutive quarters with negative GDP growth, they call it a transitionary period.
Where is the Biden recession from 2021 to 2025 look at the non government job numbers? Don't include the bounce back jobs from covid.

A recession is 2 quarters in a row with -GDP that's literally not a possible thing right now...
Biden did have that though, you seem to be leaving that out.
There wasnt a recession in 2020.... but there was one during Biden's years.
Didn’t Biden have one? Oh ya, they changed the definition so it didn’t count. They deleted the data. Typical democrats.
Presidents get too much credit and take too much blame. Congress has a lot of influence too. And Democrats have controlled Congress most of the 20th century.
This is hilarious. The Democrats set us up for recession & the Republicans clean it up the mess. Unless you think recessions take place within a week or two not three consecutive quartes. How the hell can you defend Carter with his 21% home interest rates. Completely dishonest.
