To be factual, a big part of employment numbers of both presidencies was the Covid effects alone, but another maybe bigger part is due to the policies of each president, including trump's bad policies overall along with his and his enablers Covid Mitigation war policies. Biden's policies beyond his policies connected with the recovery of the detrimental effects of the previous administration's Covid mishandlings has been positive in the employment numbers. So IMO if one takes out Covid entirely, trump would still be a hoover loser.
They showed me the clip of Trump saying he wanted the economy to crash so he could gain politically. Says he doesn’t want to be Hoover.

Bill Ackman, the hedge fund billionaire who helped chase Claudine Gay out of Harvard’s presidency, learned last week from Business Insider that his wife, former MIT professor Neri Oxman, has a plagiarism problem arguably worse than Gay’s—because in addition to borrowings similar to those that sank Gay, Oxman’s dissertation cribbed from Wikipedia, a source professors typically shoo undergraduates away from. Ackman is not taking this news well.................

Republican governors in 15 states reject summer food money for kids
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/01/10/republican-governors-summer-lunch-program/
By Annie Gowen
Updated January 10, 2024 at 2:07 p.m. EST|Published January 10, 2024 at 5:00 a.m. EST
Republican governors in 15 states are rejecting a new federally funded program to give food assistance to hungry children during the summer months, denying benefits to 8 million children across the country.
The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country....
Republicans are saying hungry kids are getting too fat. Maybe the kids are consuming too much lead, don't really need real food.

Not sure if that was really misspeaking. Depends if one takes it literal or figuratively. lol I mean look at MTG's obsession with her dick pics in congress and the rest of the maga hats cult following obsession with GOP's circus acts.
Trump knows it, he's only using and going to use his antics for his disinformational pity party. It's his only hope between sitting in a jail cell or being the king sitting in the white house. Plus it partners with all the delay tactics.
Of course, he refused to obey the rules of the court.
Trump’s Plan to Deliver Fraud Trial’s Closing Speech Falls Apart

Normally, would have doubts on the source, but here I'm wondering why now Russia media would be stating it. Maybe there's going to be a information dump coming soon. It's well known of the current cyber war that Putin has been waging and the hacking teams that have joined with Ukraine, both quite formidable. Ukraines hackers have proven penetrations into Russia's information and transportation systems, along with utilities and financial claims. This particular hack was reported back in Oct last year.

As true today as it was in the 1940's, to Putin and "the people out there are demanding that Ukraine finally make peace. They demand nothing more than that free people should finally let themselves be enslaved.".
Cartoon 1940
“The resistance of England, the assistance which
America lends it, your leaders brand as
“prolongation of the war”
They demand “peace”. They, dripping with the
blood of their own people and other peoples, dare
to put this word in their mouths.
By this they mean: submission, the legalization of
their crimes, the acceptance of the humanly
intolerable. But that is not possible.
With a Hitler there is no peace, and because this
word in his mouth is only a dirty, sickening lie.”
Paul Thomas Mann, written in exile, 1941
