    Because it IS UNIQUE.  There is no reason the people in the inner city should have to deal w this.  They are the ones that suffer,  but then again they continue to elect DEM leaders like Chicago mayor Lori Lightweight.   Do YOU know what the definition of insanity is ?!

    NYC is now giving a Chicago a run for its money.  Mayoral incompetence and police defunding efforts... Hmmmm , are you seeing a pattern develop, or will you deny its existence ?!

    Funny how people forget before all this nonsense,  our economy was humming.  Trump could be doing better handling this however I do understand it is hard when other elected officials used this as time to attack rather than fo their job to help the American people.

    Who care's if the economy "was" humming? We are now in a recession. You think small businesses and unemployed citizens care about the economy in January 2020 now? Face reality man.

    As of now many states are working at a fraction of capacity.  Businesses are working with light staff.   As we move on, more workers back to work.   Business owners in democratic cities got screwed by their mayors and governors .   The fed government offered help but they refused.

    Sure. That must be it buddy. Nothing to do with the lack of the leadership in the Fed government. It's only the Democratic blue states struggling economically? I must have missed that memo, I thought it was the entire country. confused

    How are those red state economies in Arizona, Florida, and Texas doing right now, just to name a few. Are they rejecting all of the fed government help too? an_roll_laugh

    They aren't the only ones struggling, but they are really the ones that have mismanaged their state finances.... CA, NJ, NY, IL,......   These states are broke, and now here they are with their hand out looking for money from the rest of us taxpayers.  

    Do you see a trend here (DEM leadership in these states... or lack thereof.  LOL)

    No one said anything about these states being "the only ones with violence."    We're talking about cities that have "out of control violence right now." 

    Chicago, NY, Baltimore & St. Louis  have had problems for ages...  Do you hear about issues in Dallas, how about Miami ??    


    What's the common thread here ?!  KAGA... Do I need to repeat it again for you ?

    We cannot compare Obama's last three years to President Trump's economy in his first three years..

    The reason :One month after President Trump's third year in office..Obama came out and took credit for the Economic Boom taking place under the Trump Administration...So,Obama's economy his last three years are to be compared to Obama's economy the first three years of the President Trump administration..

    If, anyone say's President Trump's economy is failing..what they are saying in reality is Obama's economy in President Trumps 1st three years is failing...

    Keep up. They aren't rejecting federal help. Scooby dooby was claiming that Democratic states are only struggling because they are rejecting help from Trump, which is absurd.

    False. No one cares that it was humming. It doesn't matter now, and the country is not getting back to pre pandemic status any time soon. Trump's unemployment rates were low because they were in drastic decline before he got into office over the last two decades. His actual rates of unemployment decline are actually less than his predecessor Obama, who actually cut unemployment by more percentage wise after inheriting Bush' disaster. an_light

    Yes. People were very glad of the economy at that time AND they do want to see it get back to that point.  

    Bottomline. Trump got them to record lows in less than one term — Obama couldn’t do it in two terms.  

    Sure. American folks inherently built to strive to do better — despite Obama holding them back.  Trump just loosened them up to surge!

    No matter how you look at it Trump’s name goes down in the record book. 

    The rest.  I would just recommend a little research and an open mind. peace_5

    For example:  people do better in a good economy. So, once they have experienced it — why would they not care about it and want it to be more like that?

    Why can’t it get back to what it was pre-pandemic?

    Those two questions have to be answered honestly and logically for your points to be valid.

    Seriously not worth my time. You obviously do not know how recessions work, or that it takes years to recover from one like we are seeing now.

    Trust me.  I know far more about it than you ever will. 

    Never worth anyone’s time when they want to blindly promote a false agenda.  

    You don’t think we have started to recover already?

    I’m pretty sure we can trust a proven Trump for a quicker recovery — than a disproven Biden. 

    But carry on. an_cheers
