Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When exit polls were taken on November 5, 2024, obviously uninformed voters claimed their votes for Trump were based on his “ability to improve the economic status for everyone.” I found this hilarious. When Trump was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021, America’s economy was nearing a depression, thousands of jobs had been lost after Trump failed to act early when he first learned about Covid-19, and his failed fiscal policy added eight trillion dollars to the national debt. Economists predict that by 2028, Trump’s current actions will add another 10 trillion dollars to the deficit. Today’s economic report is a warning.

The largest villains are George W. Bush and Donald John Trump. This is one of the reasons I consider them the worst presidents in history. Bush failed to protect our nation and 9/11 happened. His failed fiscal policy, and engaging our nation in two unwinnable wars with lies and deception caused the Great Reception. In just four years, between 2017 and 2021, Trump increased...
