CNN: 77% of Americans say economic conditions are poor. That's the lowest of Trump's second term. Is this the 'amazing economy' the administration thought you'd be boasting about? KEVIN HASSETT: Right now the economy does look amazing to me

Hassett: Who ya gonna believe, me or your empty wallet? "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears (and bank statement). It was their final, most essential command."

Fascist and authoritarian movements use constant, forced optimism and grand myths to hide reality and to silence any person who points out problems. They paint a false picture where the nation is strong and winning, even when people are suffering.

I really wonder why at some point simple self-preservation isn't making people hesitate to go on TV and show their grinning face to millions of people who are increasingly pondering what billionaires taste like.

Maybe he thinks Americans not having enough to eat, having to skip work because they can't afford the gas to get there and dying because they can't afford health insurance is amazing? I'll answer my own question: Yes.

"...but, then again, I'm rich, connected, and protected by Trump. Once the balloon goes up, I'm outta here and living the good life while the rest of you oinks can suck it... wait, was the mic still on?!"

They talk about the LGBTQ, but the Secretary of Treasury, Gay as can be worth 600 million dollars out here saying the economy is going great while people are homeless and hungry! They love the guy! 10 years of being tax free for the wealthy has got the USA so F-up… Pay your fair share Traitors!

It's so great that they have removed support for people who are not able to buy food for their families and more people are going to food pantries, and they have removed Medicare supplement, health ins supplement. Ppl R Sick.

The U.S. has two economies. One, where most of us live, is for people who make their living from their own labor. This economy is broken. The other, where the wealthiest live, is for people who make their living from their assets. This economy, as Secretary Hassett described, is doing great.

We need Democrats to pull out these videos during the midterms, and present these as evidence of the lies 🤥 that the Republicans have been spreading. The Democrats are not 👎 good about presenting their case to the public. The public has short term amnesia. We need to help them REMEMBER.

Yeah, well, Kev... You're not trying to single-handedly keep a household afloat on a $2200 a month paycheck with $2700-2800 in bills, after your husband lost his job 5 months ago and can't find a new one to save his life, even after applying for dozens.

Propaganda only works as long as daily life lets it slide. But when 77 percent of people feel the financial pinch, no amount of spin can hide it. Sooner or later, even the most hardcore loyalists will face the music. #USPolitics #Economy #Reality

Of course it looks good to you, you rich fuck! I wish someone would wipe that shit-eating grin he always has as he gaslights us with bullshit. He's not missing any meals or wondering if he can pay rent. With these bastards, the cruelty IS the point

These assholes should have to live an average American life with the average income and then get back to us. They wouldn't be wearing high end tailored suits, that's for fucking sure.

A old & wealth member of the Trump administration stating that the economy looks amazing to them is a very weak position. He’s supposed to be an economist but looks like a grifter.

Stuff happened to make the US numbers miss expectations by over 50%. But if that stuff had not happened we would have made the numbers. As they say in ireland "If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle". This guy is a hopeless idiot.

Well of course, all the republicans officials are getting rich thanks to blatant corruption being allowed by Trump. They literally don’t care about anyone outside of the rich faction of their party. That is 100% fact.

You know, I think I find Hassett to be even more of a smug, annoying dickhead than Bessent. I know, it's close. Now we can talk about how stupid the rest of them are.
