Trumps false claims the economy is doing great under him,

When before the pandemic started we were already in a recession. He refused to do anything to stop the virus, hurting the economy ,and he still is doing this spreading this virus costing us all economically, like Sturgis has. Then look at what he's doing now driving the debt sky high because he was scared the markets would collapse taking away his only bragging taking points to claim the economy was good , which any president could do. He has the Fed printing up trillions now propping up the markets while claiming his economy is great , and nothing could be further from the truth from trump, and we're heading towards a trump depression when his market crash happens, and it will sooner or later.

Unless there is a big organized pushback from team Biden, it won't matter.

If trump wins, it will be because we lost the economic debate.

What Trump means is that the big investors are doing good today. To Trump, the economy is the stock marked. He has made that perfectly clear.

If big investors are doing well today, because of government bailouts, wait until the vultures can wade into the foreclosure markets when the present protections expire. It is going to be incredible how many single family homes are going to move from personal ownership to permanent rental status. More of the transfer of wealth from the workers to the money changers.
