Donald Trump has been graded "F" on his handling of the economy, according to a new poll.

According to a survey by Emerson College, 36 percent of people gave the president an "F" grade on the economy. This 36 represented the largest proportion of respondents and far outstripped those who gave Trump an "A" grade on this policy area.

Frequently leaders are credited with more than they really did, both good and bad. Not this time. President Wrecking Ball is 100% on the hook for this one.

I love watching all the local idiots in my town praising trump over gas prices.

Sure you can fill up your lifted dodge ram for $50 cheaper. That's great

Too bad monthly groceries cost you an extra $100, there are no jobs, and the parts to repair that vehicle cost a fortune now.

But at least gas is lower*

*Not really something a president controls but whatever

He also got Fs on math, spelling, history, and science.

Civics, personal finance, debate and English went ungraded as he did not show for a single class of any.

Are you telling me that a man with his own page on wikipedia called Businesses of Donald Trump that went bankrupt doesn't know how to run an economy? Quelle surprise!

He scored "Showed up to wrong class, ate paste, pooped himself, then passed out in the back of the classroom".

Poll splits along partisan lines, proving that half of people agree with me. Film at 11.

F actually stands for FANTASTIC. Everyone's saying it

F seems a little high

An F is just an A with a leg fallen off

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Fitting. Trump's economy is Biden's economy with a leg fallen off.

Well ya, because only the billionaires gave him an A.
