How is it possible that so many Americans believe a President Trump would be better for the economy than a President Harris? Trump has declared bankruptcy multiple times and has been convicted of fraud by a jury of his peers. Under Trump GDP growth averaged 2.67% (and this excludes the effects of Covid) . Under Biden/Harris, GDP growth averaged 3.40%.
Trump blames inflation on President Bidenβ¦but he canβt explain how Bidenβs actions led to 11% inflation in Great Britain or 9% in Germany. Republicans say the Democratsβ $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan caused inflation, but are careful not to mention the $3.1 trillion Trump gave away to businesses and individuals.
Trump offers no real solution to todayβs inflation, instead, he has proposed 10% across the board tariffs on imported goods and materials and a 60% tariff on Chinese imports. Tariffs make things more expensive, not less.
