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.
I recall watching "Face the Nation" when the chump was still president. He was talking about taking away "entitlements" when he was reelected. Of course, that didn't happen. During the election cycle his campaign claimed that SS and Medicare would still be available. I know people who think that "entitlements" means welfare queens, not things like Medicare and Social Security, which many of the people who worship that turd depend on. The same people curse "Obamacare", because they know that they have the Affordable Care Act.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
