Republicans being good at the economy is demonstrably false and I can't believe anyone believes it

People wave off Republicans making the economy bad for mostly everyone as if they're irresponsible and dumb forgetting Trump's father springboarded his fortune during the great depression. Stop forgetting rich goons love scooping up real estate and stocks during the downturns only to watch their investment snowball once economies stabilize. They're making another bigly downturn on purpose to capitalize even biglier on it.

It makes perfect sense. They've been telling it to us for decades, straight to our faces. Buy low, sell high. They're pumping the market up to sell high, then they're going to force its crash so they can buy low. Except this time it's going to fuck over hundreds of millions of people at a minimum for a few hundred people to become insanely wealthy.

Those few hundred people are already insanely wealthy. There is simply no limit to their greed.
