Trump said he took care of the economy like it was his own business and the satirists went bankrupt – 15 top comebacks
At the Economic Club of New York, Donald Trump addressed an expert panel and audience on his fiscal plans – an area in which Republicans have criticised Kamala Harris for being too vague.
He chose to boast about his handling of the economy, with what may be his most accurate statement to date.

It’s as much of a comfort as if Boris Johnson had pledged to look after the nation’s children like he does his own. We’re surprised it didn’t get a laugh in the room. Tough crowd.

Makes sense. Under Trump:
– worst job losses of any president
– highest federal debt growth since 1950s
– wealth inequality exploded
– trade deficit jumped 36%
– poverty and child poverty increased
– 3 million lost health insurance https://t.co/AzXf9s87ML— Sawyer Hackett (@SawyerHackett) September 5, 2024

He filed bankruptcy six times, stole from his own charity, got caught running a fake university, and owes hundreds of millions of dollars to the government for fraudulently overstating his net worth to dupe lenders.
So, he ain’t exactly wrong here. https://t.co/fZg8BIvTWu— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) September 5, 2024

"I took care of our economy the same way as I took care of my own company”
Trump has been made bankrupt 6 times already, and found guilty of 34 felony counts in his NY business fraud case.
The idea that he’s a good businessman is BS.#TrumpIsAMoron

That’s right. Trump ran up the bill and didn’t want to pay it.
