15. Your other points are spot on, but your economic statements are fails. Facts count, is all.

I'm a fan of facts, not tRump, so trying to pin that on me doesn't work.

Biden left tRump a good economy. I got out of the market in January because I could see what tRump was going to do to the economy. So don't try to attack me pretending I'm a "big fan".

tRump's economy is fraying around the edges, but so far is surprisingly resilient, surprising even to economists. Bide your time. Soon there will be a ton of economic data to show economic damage. For example, federal layoffs are masked by many of them being "deferred resignations" that take effect in September.
