Again, ANYONE, including donvict, claiming that he had some kind of awful economic issues to deal with is gaslighting you.

He was handed an economy that was the envy of the world, and in short order, started to rip it to shreds, putting forth these "solutions" to problems that existed only in HIS mind. If anything, donvict seems hellbent on triggering another depression.

Not to mention that Tarrifs are thought to have contributed to the length and global reach of the depression. Tarrifs may not have caused the great depression but they absolutely extended it.

Trump also says he’s 6’3” and 215 lbs. so take anything he says as complete bullshit.

I'm 6'5", 210 lb, and can run a 10k... And no one would say I have any pouch unless I'm shirtless

Trump has to be 280-300

If he was actually 6'3 he'd have to be well over 300lb. I'm that height and was in the 280-300lb range once and looked skinny compared to him.

I'm actually 6"3 and 215lb, and I can confirm he's full of shit.

The Great Depression happened. We were not heading toward one until trump and minders pushed that button.
