Reject the lies: Trump only wishes he could have the Biden-Harris economy

Julian Zelizer : People trusted Kamala Harris more on the economy than her felony-convicted opponent.

Zelizer says the idea that Donald Trump would somehow be better for the economy persists among millions of Americans who remember what prices were like before the COVID pandemic took down the world economy.

Democrats should conquer their fears on this topic and calmly continue to point out how entirely wrong that is, even in the face of how people “feel” about the economy.

David Gergen : A Republican president fumbles the economy after being handed a typically strong one by a Democrat , increases the national debt in service to the wealthy, oversees the creation of far fewer jobs and often drives the nation into recession.

Gergen says Trump may criticize Biden 's economy but he would love to inherit it, just as he was handed the Obama years, which benefited him until the pandemic hit.

Ruben Navarrette : Donald Trump will gladly wreck the economy because he didn't create it.

He says 16 Nobel -winning economists have warned that Trump 's proposals will reignite inflation and damage the global economy.

He has regularly expressed his hopes for an economic crash that might help his election prospects, he writes.

He's offering only recycled “trickle-down” economics, preposterous tariff policies.
