A new Financial Times/Michigan Ross School of Business poll finds more Americans trust Kamala Harris to handle the economy than Donald Trump, 42% to 41%.

Also interesting: “Fully 60% of those surveyed said Harris should either break completely from the president’s economic policies or ‘make major changes’ to his platform.”

      We cannot stress enough that Donald Trump built a money siphon and it failed. A casino is just a fucking money siphon, and he couldn’t even make money with that. Like. That’s what a shit businessperson he is. And people think his incredible business acumen gives him insights into how macroeconomies work (which are DIFFERENT from microeconomies, by the way). Like… This is some dumbass bullshit that if you wrote it and handed it to your publisher, the editor would send you a note back saying they thought you should revisit this plot point because it’s not believable.

        His sole source of income that’s legal is licensing the name that his father built the reputation of. Every single venture he has attempted on his own has lost money. He’s absolutely terrible at business. His father was a giant piece of shit, but you can’t argue that he wasn’t a highly successful slum lord (and tax dodger). Donald learned nothing from his father except maybe the tax fraud.

        I need to add to your comment. He was bailed out of bankrupting a casino by Wilbur Ross. Who is Wilbur Ross? Wilbur Ross is a coal baron that Dementia DonOLD picked for our secretary of commerce.

        Do you all think he got that job by his qualifications or the fact he bailed Mr 34 felonies out? We’d all know this if there was an actual news program out there that wasn’t using their position to push the right.
