This stuff boils my piss. The same thing happens in the UK. I get that you need to show restraint to maintain access but there shouldn't be anything wrong with posing their argument as a negative!
"So you're saying this administration is failing to get a grip on the economy?" Even if he responds, he'll be angry, angry people make mistakes. Or even then just say, "Perfect, youre responding with feeling instead of thought: how does it feel knowing your boss is in the epstine files?"
How the hell can no one get a grip on this narrative.
Just turn to the camera and ignore them! "You heard it here first! The VPJD has no confidence in the administration!"
The worst part is, as soon as the other side is in charge, it's suddenly on them now and not the previous administration like it was before.
And people fucking buy it
When people treat politics like a team sport this is where you end up. My team can do no wrong and I will go to the mat to defend them.
But, but, Gold Team rules!
It is also infuriating because Biden spent his term dealing with the fallout of Covid.
Americans got totally fucked during the pandemic. The government handed out a one time payment to some of the population that wouldn’t be enough to cover a months rent on a single bedroom apartment.
They then did the paycheck protection program where they handed out gobs of money to business owners. These “loans” were forgiven and plenty of wealthy business owners just ended up pocketing piles of money.
So you have an incompetent trump government failing to do public health policy, then only helping the owner class, causing massive inflation.
The republicans always do this. They take over a healthy economy, pass policies that supercharge it in the short term but are completely unsustainable in the long term.
The economy crashes, the voters put a democrat in office, the democrat spends their term cleaning up the mess, and then gets shit for having a crappy economy.
They're journalists, they don't even know they are the porblem.
They aren't journalists, they are fox news entertainers.
