Donald Trump

You are dead right. Trump went into politics to take advantage of the crazy state of the USA.

To make America less crazy would take a gazillion dollars and a generation or 2 or 3.

Trump just going away would be a great start.

(Who knows though....the next one could be worse. At least Trump is genuinely funny.)

He’s as funny as cancer.

Cool, you'll be able to provide data to refute that BBC article then (based on data from the Resolution foundation)

“As bad as period in recorded history” - I’m not going to waste my time explaining to you why that’s the most ridiculous assertion you’ve made on here as I don’t think I have enough crayons and if I had enough, I’m sure you’d only eat them.

Also it’s 2024, not 2017. Relying on a wank article written by a Beeb hack seven years ago and believing that recorded history started in Napoleonic times ain’t the strongest argument I’ve ever heard.

Look up Statute of Labourers (1351) for a start.

Ah, so you can't refute it. Enjoy spouting some more random insults.

Of course I can bloody refute it, I gave you one example which you obviously ignored and also pointed out that 2017 is not 2024, other than that, great source article for your idiotic claim that it’s the worst period “in recorded history history”.

It is the worst period since records of wages exist, which is what I meant.

And anyway, if you don't like that, you can insert "worst period since the industrial revolution".

The point is that there are very good economic reasons why demagogues are flourishing, and that by historical standards, the last coupole of decades is actually pretty exceptional.

Ranting and insulting doesn't make an argument.

Again you’re wrong as real earnings picked up since 2017, when your source was written.

I’m an economist, you picked a seven year period (2010-2017), in Britain, to explain why the US picked a racist fuck to govern them (thanks only due to the electoral college) in the United States.

Your argument is complete and utter bollocks and doesn’t even begin to understand the social and political reasons why Trump was elected in 2016. One reason he wasn’t, was real wage growth in the UK between 2010–2017.

Here is real wage growth in the US for the 30 years prior to Trump:

And that’s doing you a favour and ignoring you believing that a 2017 article is remotely article about what’s happening now in October 2024.
