A lot of people also don't see that the Netherlands have been lifted from the Eurasian continent and landed on the Moon.
In both cases, people don't see it because it's not true.

are we sure about the Netherlands? I haven't been there for a long yime
yea, they liked lifting from the ocean so much that they kept going all the way to the moon
Oh good, they don't know about the moon thing yet. Yes, the Netherlands are right where you left it, carry on.
He’s stealing billions so he thinks everyone is doing well because he only cares about himself
Yup. Bingo. This is exactly it, and other billionaires think this is the case also.
They're going to be really confused and outraged when people start eating them.

Guess it depends on what you think signals a strong economy.
America’s top 10 richest saw their wealth grow by $700 billion combined under Trump: report
All the people that matter to trump are doing great
Except his bestie Jeffrey, probably the only person he ever cared about
Alas, so many little secrets died that day
Presumably that's all from stocks, so when the bubble pops they may be back to where they started.
I mean, we can dream.
Nah, all the money is going to end up invested elsewhere or in an offshore account before everything crashes.

The greatest economy for whom?
The big question most journos are paid quite well to not ask.
AI companies, tech bros, wall st, landlords, and oligarchs.

Donald Trump spelled forward is also a synonym for asshole!
We all start development as deuterostomes, meaning we all start off as just an asshole and grow from there, Trump's biological development never progressed. He's just an asshole.
Is he having a Skinner "No, it's the children who are wrong" moment?
More like all the people there are chronically trying to manage the emotions of an enraged toddler so they don't accidentally cause a ketchup-flinging incident, so they tell him what they think he wants to hear, only then he tantrums when reality pierces the baby carriage.

I agree that a lot of people don't see the truth of the American economy: they're in a fucking recession.
The current US economy is the greatest economy... if you're a billionaire
If you're a landlord collecting rent from 1,000 tenants, you're rolling in cash right now
If you own a large amount of stocks, you're rolling in cash right now
The economy is great for the rich because they're able to take all the value generated by the working class
You can generally replace the word 'economy' with 'rich people's yachts' -
"Trump claims ‘a lot of people don’t see’ that America has ‘the greatest rich people's yachts right now’ .
Yep - still works.
The USA is fucking trash. These billionaires are literally cancer on our society.
They're gold hoarding dragons and we need a team of adventurers to bring them down

You can’t gaslight a vote that happened two days ago you makeup-tinted idiot
They'll just keep at it until it does change. Remember, everyone was frantic and upset the day after January 6 but nowadays it's all just "peaceful tourists taking a walk". Repeat a lie long enough and loudly enough - especially with the help of complicit propaganda engines across all types of media - and people will believe and defend that "reality".

He thinks that because he is grifting like a motherfucker and racking up billions in schemes like crypto shitcoins.
He is completely divorced from reality.
Me and my friends are doing great. Don't know why the poor are complaining.

Alternative title:
Demented orange rapist sees things that aren't there, yet he's still not been removed from power.
Is "the greatest economy" in the room with you right now?
"It was. Then it fell over on the floor having a heart attack. I stood at my desk looking confused." - Trump
He’s right. A lot of people don’t see it. Because it’s not there!!!
Greatest, for asshole parasites who already have too much and are okay with predating on poor people...
Vibecession!
The Economies New Clothes.
If you are a predatory Sociopathic Oligarch, than America is the greatest place to be plying your exploitation strategies, and indulging your OCD financial hoarding mental illness.
It sucks for everyone else, but empathy is not something Trump understands. He probably doesn't even know that world, just like he'd never heard the word GROCERIES before the last campaign.
If you substitute *rich people's yacht money" for economy, then his statement becomes correct
Wow this is almost exactly what people were upset at joe biden for (even though biden at least attempted to reduce debt burdens). Weird how this plays out.
It doesn't matter how great the economy is if people can't afford groceries, motherfucker.
When applying for the same job I had 10years ago which was lost due to a massive layoff now posted again, WITH THE SAME SALARY…. Nope! America is trash!
It's true! It's invisible to most. Only the 1%ers can see it. If you can't see it, you're not worthy.
Boomer logic ..... they have life so good that they honestly believe that everyone else of every generation should be like them. They have no clue or little understanding that times have changed and people are living with little or not enough but they just don't care.

People with eyes can see their bank accounts and grocery prices, dipshit
Is the great economy in the room with us?
It’s super cool how the regime thinks they can dictate what the economy does and what socioeconomic conditions exist on the ground by just insisting that they’re true, despite copious and obvious evidence to the contrary.
To be perfectly fair to the Cheeto gremlin, which is a good deal more than he deserves:
Since he has been constantly surrounded by sycophants and yes-men for a long time, it is quite possible that he actually believes the economy is doing great due to nobody having the spine to tell him any different. All day every day it's "everything is going great, sir" and "you're the best President the planet has ever been graced with, sir" and "size doesn't matter and the female orgasm is a myth, sir".
It's still his own fault for creating such an environment with his incompetence and his fragile ego, of course. But he might honestly believe his own bullshit in this case.
Apparently this is closer to the truth than people know. Trump is so simple-minded that he has his morning briefs presented to him in video form with bullet points that contain simplified explanations. Also lots of AI chaff is put in front of him, like Portland on fire and reduced to a smoldering heap, people eating dogs and cats and angry kids assaulting ICE agents and being violently taken down. Anyone not recall the pictures of Kilmar Garcia’s hands with the obviously shittily Photoshopped MS13 letters on the knuckles? Tie bad eyesight to simpleminded, drug and age related mental decline and well… here we are.
