Trump’s Assassination Paranoia & Disagreement Over Economic Reality | The Daily Show

Michael Kosta reports on a new poll from "The Guardian," showing that Americans believe the economy is shrinking, the stock market is down, and unemployment is at a 50-year-high. Plus, RFK Jr. issues an appeal to amateur traders on Reddit, and Trump claims that Joe Biden tried to assassinate him during the Mar-a-Lago raid two years ago. Thankfully, Josh Johnson joins to explain what’s really going on behind the scenes at Biden HQ. #DailyShow #MichaelKosta #Trump

To be fair, "the economy" can be an ambiguous term. GDP can be going up, unemployment can be down, while wages stay stagnant and prices keep soaring. In other words "the economy" can be doing great, while you personally might experience more economic hardship. These polls might speak more to the unequal distribution of wealth in America.

[@plwadodveeefdv]

But the market is up, GDP is up, and unemployment is down. The indicators are in lock step. You may be struggling, but you are not the economy...

The Former President who cried Assassination: A Children's Story There once was a former president who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village nearby. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "assassin! assassin! The assassin is chasing me!" The secret service came running up the hill to help the former president drive the assassin away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no assassin. The former president laughed at the sight of their angry faces. "Don't cry 'assassin', former president," said the secret service, "when there's no assassin!" They went grumbling back down the hill. Later, the former president sang out again, "assassin! assassin! The assassin is chasing the me!" To his naughty delight, he watched the secret service run up the hill to help him drive the assassin away. When the secret service saw no assassin they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'assassin' when there is NO assassin!" But the former president just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more. Later, he saw a REAL assassin prowling about his home. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "assassin! assassin!" But the secret service thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come. At sunset, everyone wondered why the former president hadn't returned to the village. They went up the hill to find the former president. They found him weeping. "There really was an assassin here! The MAGA supporters have scattered! I cried out, "assassin!" Why didn't you come?" An old man tried to comfort the former president as they walked back to the village. "We'll help you look for the assassin in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

Idiocracy plain and simple. This is why I don't give average people the time of day.

[@sdeepj]

No, I want to live in Idiocracy. They had a Black President and people were cool with it. Nobody is asking for his birth certificate or saying he’s a “secret Muslim”

[@publicuser2534]

It really is man. I was walking in my neighborhood on a popular route, the amount of people with their eyes buried in their hands was incredible. No situational awareness at all. With all that intelligence right in front of them, their idiocy shines bright when they almost get smacked by a person going the opposite direction. Striving for excellence and knowledge has become a thing of the past. Ignorance and stupidity have become ThE aphrodisiac.

Michael Kosta and Desi lydic both deserve to be the hosts of The Daily Show! Why not make them co-hosts?

An additional problem is that even if the economy as a whole is doing better that just means the wealthy are doing better. And the idea that if the wealthy do better everyone does better is called "trickledown economics".

Its funny how Trump is allowed to say the things he says and do, and gets away with it.

[@morrigancollins2092]

The stock market is not an accurate reflection of the condition of the vast majority of Americans. Unemployment is down because more people than every need to work multiple jobs just to stay afloat, and people feel like we're in a recession because we have to pay eight dollars for a burger but nobody's getting raises except corporate.

This is what happens when you watch Fox or Newsmax or any of that other garbage, your brain turns into a vegetable 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@teresalee467]

They talked about this non stop yesterday

[@mpup54]

They really take any talking point they can get, even if it is full of holes and is BS, they simply have nothing else to go on. This is why people can make up baseless stories and get away with them. Morons are bound to repeat something just because they read it, the source doesnt even matter to them.
