One can only hope that the media isn’t so suicidal as to want a deep recession, or another term for Trump (merely because it would help ratings). If we have to pick one, I’ll take the recession.

Whatever you do, don’t think about a recession. Stop thinking about a recession!!! Why do you keep thinking about a recession? (With all of this reminding, who can think about anything else?)

The economy is fine, so no need to lower interest rates.

The media would love to see a recession,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “We’re far from a recession.”

During his appearance with the president of Romania Tuesday, Trump also confirmed that his administration is considering a payroll tax cut to keep the economy humming…

… but not until after first having boasted about his “yuge” margin of victory in the 2016 election.

Here’s a steaming pile of “Eat This” on a plate for you TRUMP - since you are so certain that you and you alone deserve praise and adoration for bringing the present economic conditions … then if things wobble out of kilter - the only answer is that you have failed to maintain what you are convinced you control.

Darn media is so diabolical.

How dare they start a tariff war with China without any real strategy or give non-stimulators tax cuts to the super-wealthy even when advised to that fact? And don’t even get me started on the Federal Reserve Chairman they appointee.

This is iteration #43849847 of the usual Fox trick, which is to sidestep reporting on Republican/conservative malfeasance/incompetence and instead report on the reporting of Republican/conservative malfeasance/incompetence. “It’s biased!” “Librul media!” Blah blah fucking blah.

And the sad thing is, the non-Fox media fall for it every time and trip over themselves in response by desperately sucking up just to prove how “unbiased” they are. “Dems in disarray!” Maybe one day they’ll surprise me.
