It's frustrating to hear Trumpists, or frankly people in general say things like this, and really for any candidate on either side of the aisle. I have many years of finance and economics experience, and it's always an SMH moment to hear people oversimplify the movements of the economy. It's doubly irritating and often amusing when it's a politician speaking out of his or her (*cough* MTG *cough*) ass. The only thing more amusing/infuriating to me is a congressperson talking about Medicare and immediately showing they have absolutely zero understanding of what they are talking about.
