Trump has run out of cards to play in the midterm elections, which is why he’s now talking about the “communist menace”.

He can’t talk about the economy because prices continue to rise faster than wages, which means most Americans are getting poorer.

That’s Robert Reich, that is.

Real wages (OK, median weekly earnings) fell 10% in hte first two years of the Biden admin and have risen, wgat, 5% since then?

So, wages are doing better than inflation.

Bobby Reich, always so accurate in his economics, eh?

These young democrats Reich writes about frequently are communists and not ashamed to say so.

I do hope so. Trump’s egocentricity is tiresome and he really made a mess of that football red card saga but we need him to continue, and then be succeeded by Vance or Rubio. Rather glad he’s become bored with having his chain pulled by lying Iranians.

Curious to know what President Trump (I always enjoy typing that) did re: the red card saga that you consider a mess.

Being uninterested in football I’ve paid it little attention but he’s been roasted in the UK MSM and it looks like a PR fail. Everyone here is gloating that the USA were knocked out after the red card stunt.

But, situation normal.

Meanwhile, here in the land of real socialism hasn’t been tried yet, real GDP per capita is declining and has been for many years.

It’s not all bad Philip, we still have lots of in and out migration. Real GDP per head is rising even if per capita is not.

There is no logic in the 3/4 Reich’s assertion. There is no linkage between Trump pushing the “communist menace” and he ‘can’t talk about the economy.’

As a Guardian writer, 3/4 Reich expects the reader to complete his sentences so they make sense.

It’s striking how mild the criticism has always been of President Vegetable’s terms in office as Prez and VP.

Even “10% for the Big Guy” is rarely quoted.
