"Obama's done more for the economy according to statistical measurements."
"What statistical measurements?"
"I don't know."

[KodeLiMe]

Obama said 1% growth was our "new normal." Trump made it 5% in less than half a term.

When you start with "I feel", you show your true ignorance

[nickxopoku]

"Why do u hate Trump..?"
"There's too many reasons to mention"
"Give one reason "
UHhhh...!!!

College kids today can sum up all their thoughts and feelings like this:


"I dont like Trump."

Question: Why Obama? What actions did he do?
Answer: Because the news told me he's the cool black president.

"I feel like, I feel, my feelings are..."

I'm seeing a pattern here.

I think Obama did it better....but why?

Wellll I can’t think of anything right now. *facepalm*

[ashleypenn]

"I feel like the older generation would say Trump just because they have more experience with employment"

Yeah so maybe you should shut up and listen to the people with experience?

"The economy is worse because the unemployment is the lowest we've ever had." Did I seriously hear that correctly??!

[bruhidk]

“I’d love to give Trump credit but he has had certain tweets...” bruh

[wiggy]

“We have the lowest unemployment numbers ever, but look at what he’s done with his tweets.”

There you have it. Words are officially more important than actions.

[joaocoimbra]

"The economy is worse because the unemployment is the lowest we've ever bad"
Sounds right to me

Because that's where my heart goes-the first lesson in economics

[eweezy]

If your gonna give Obama credit for all the good happening from this administration then Obama gets all credit for bad. You can't have it both ways

Eduardo does an excellent job of keeping a straight face when people say silly things.
