The Three Trillion Dollare Magic Wand
Draino, your posts epitomize epistemological nihilism—a worldview where facts are malleable and cognitive rigor goes to die. Your willful cherry-picking and context-free regurgitations form an ouroboros of confirmation bias: a self-devouring loop where your delusions feed the very ignorance that spawned them. You, like most MAGA Fools, exist within a hermetically sealed chamber of your self-inflicted ignorance.
"He [Trump] just says, 'Well, I'm going to negotiate a better deal.'' Well, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually, the answer is, he doesn't have an answer."Obama was responding to Trump's Fantasy-campaign Pledges. Here's what Trump promised versus what actually happened:
- "I Will Bring Back Coal"
- Coal jobs increased by 1,200 (a 2% bump) then plummeted.
- 6 major coal companies filed for bankruptcy during Trump's term
- U.S. coal production dropped to lowest levels since 1978
- "I Will Bring Back Steel & Manufacturing Jobs Like the Old Days"
- Steel jobs grew by only 3,000 (83K to 86K) then plummeted.
- GM closed the Lordstown plant which resulted in 1,600 jobs lost
- Manufacturing never recovered to pre-2008 recession levels
- "I Will Stop Companies from Moving to Mexico"
- Carrier moved 600 jobs to Mexico after Trump's "deal"
- GM invested $1 billion in Mexican plants during Trump's term
- U.S. manufacturing job growth slowed in 2019 before pandemic
- "I Will Eliminate the Trade Deficit"
- U.S. trade deficit grew from $502B (2016) to $679B (2020)
- China trade deficit hit record $419 billion in 2018
- Farm exports plummeted due to trade wars, requiring $28B bailout
- "I Will Make America Wealthy Again with Infrastructure"
- No infrastructure bill passed during Trump's term
- American Society of Civil Engineers gave U.S. infrastructure a D+ grade in 2021
- Biden passed an Infrastructure bill.
DC Draino Is a Clown Without a Circus
Draino, your takes are so embarrassingly stupid that they should come with a warning label and a Helpline for the Fact-Impaired. You're not a pundit - you're a MAGA fanfic writer, twisting reality into a Kool-Aid-stained fantasy where Trump's failures are secret victories and basic math is "fake news." The only applicable 3 trillion here is the cumulative IQ points the MAGA Fools lose by reading your post.
Do the world a favor: Log off, read a book (at least try), and stop pretending your fanboy fanfics are analysis.
