But I don’t think they can pull the same trick turning Trump’s sow’s ear of an economy into a silk purse.

By this time next year, the economy will be in recession, with higher unemployment, double digit inflation (even if Trump’s BLS lies and says it is lower) and healthcare premiums will have doubled or tripled for millions.

Even somebody is out of a job, can’t afford beef or coffee, can’t afford healthcare…nobody is going to convince them everything is fine.

Not even evil media genius Bari Weiss can spin that to help the republicans.
