Joe might as well wear a MAGA hat. Joe has a thing for Trump.

[patcornelius]

Im convinced that Joe is soft launching his FOX News type podcast for when he gets fired from CNBC .

[CMN]

Joe has got to be one of the most obnoxious and overrated commentator

As of right now in the United States it takes 3x as much annual income to buy a house- compared to the Great Depression. It is 3x harder and more expensive to buy a house NOW than in the Great Depression. Not sure why people just let that fact go over their head

8 TRILLION DOLLARS increase to the National Debt, say no more! Trump was UNDOUBTEDLY the worst president EVER! A little solace for Tiny, he is the 2nd best German-American president in history. 😂😂😂😂

Joe's love affair with Trump is cringe.

I own a restaurant for many years
Reality: all of my customers are not going out to eat as much, because in ole yellers economy people have less money in their pockets due to extreme inflation caused by excessive amount off money being printed and floated into the economy for a myriad of social problems. This is a fact.

Crime out of control due to not keeping repeat criminals in jail … fact

Open borders has illegals wondering our country using our tax dollars for their food medical housing etc.


I’ve seen enough from this guy
Voting Trump this time

If you’re better off under Biden then vote for him. He’s done zero for me and for my friends family employees and customers. So no one I know is voting for Ole Yeller.

Cannot afford him for another year

The answer to the first question is yes, taxes will never go up, and spending will never go down. Both options are politically unviable because the voters can’t do math. Debt increase will outpace GDP. Hyperinflation is the only path forward.

[McStar]

First time I clicked to watch, and last time i trust CNBC, specifically this anchor.

[GeeksGets]

Strange that the economy is doing pretty well by the numbers then

[PaulHarrison-tr]

if u spend 8 trillion in 4 yrs ur numbers would look good EXCEPT THE DEBT

[Dave-zlky]

I am sure both of these guys are waiting for a tariff disaster by Trump.

[goldstandardaviation]

One-sided opinion from two Trump guys. Yawn.

[JoeDurbs]

I don't agree with the Democrats but this guy is one sided. I like to see someone in the middle

[petermak]

How to get a true statement from a guy with two DJT signatures behind him? Is it on purpose?

[davidmichaels]

Trump is always right let the successful billionaire run the country like a business I was happier under Trump I had more economic buying power under Trump my standard of living was better under Trump and as a former Democrat who has been lied to for over 40 years by my own party I'm voting for Trump 24 FJB

Good discussion about real world probabilities. The tricky thing with reciprocality regarding less-friendly nations is that it won’t be “in kind”. Their governments deeply subsidize their labor and production (one way or another) so that they can export their goods at a deep discount to US domestic production, allowing those nations to compete unfairly. Our nearly free market government will not and cannot afford to subsidize US products, so we must apply selective tariffs to offset foreign advantages, taken unfairly. That math works whether the next president is Donald or it remains Jill…

Kernen said, "Is it too simplistic to say?" Think about that. Joe Kernen asking if he speaks too simplistic.

Trump in 2004: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats....But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disasters under the Republicans."
Trump was a registered Democrat from August 2001 through September 2009. Chew on that for a moment. That Biden sure does play a long game, huh?

Tariffs don’t work. Never have. See Great Depression failure to today-domestic inflation results
