No.

Trump spending exploded the US debt.

Obama spent too mich. But yall want to pretend that trump reined it in. Deficit spending doubled in Trump's first two years. before COVID. Then it doubled again.

He's only good for the "economy" if you're talking about government spending.

"Creating jobs for Americans" is a policy of every single politician ever. Just a generic statement.

Why do you support tariffs?

Most of this debt was from policies created before Trumps presidency

Tell me who it is paying for those tariffs?
You mentioned a few economy talking points but what about Trump's plan to arrest 15 million people and put them in concentration camps prior to deporting or putting 15 thousand children in cages this time? Or pulling out of NATO or Trump saying 'Russia, you can do what ever the HELL you want' unquote.
Or firing 40,000 civil servants and replacing them with people with one line in their resume, total loyalty to Trump not the constitution.
Or project 2025, making abortion illegal in all 50 states no exceptions.
Or ending the department of education, or weaponizing DOJ so he can attack his political rivals and use our military to quell peaceful protests.
All that going to make American great again?

Low taxes for factories in America coupled with tariffs make having things made in America much cheaper than building overseas and shipping them in.

So a car that cost before tariff, was say 20,000 and after tariff, 24,000. Tell me where this is a good thing. Who pays that tariff?

That's not what he said. That poster said tariffs help lower taxes. He has yet to explain how.

Tariffs are a tax on imports. That means businesses will have higher costs for imports, which will make products more expensive.

Election promises are just empty words or worse, fantasies and lies.
Don't look at what was said, look at what was done.

Tariffs lower imports, true, because they mean the average guy can't afford to pay the new higher price. How is that a good thing? That means people have to beg or steal or scream for more help from the government. And the home-grown product manufacturers lower their quality standards or raise their prices because the competition from imported goods is reduced.

There's no way Trump's off-the-cuff fantasies are going to help the little guy. He'll just have to work 3 jobs and make his kids go to work to help buy the new refrigerator.

You must love paying more for products.

Tariffs WILL be passed along to the consumers.

Lower taxes. For the rich, maybe. Are you rich?

Everyone knows those on tips shouldn't have to pay tax on the tips. It is a rare thing that a Republican acknowledges that.

Creating jobs? Did you see the last jobs report? More than that? Good luck with that. Trump hates union workers, for one thing.

This is how Republicans take the piss. Everyone else knows better.

Low taxes for companies do NOT automatically keep the products cheaper. Things are expensive now because companies are profiting because they want Trump elected, so their prices do not reflect how they are doing better under Bidenomics. They're burning America just because they want Trump elected, so they blame current policies for it. It's a tactic that works on the stupid.
