This was Trump’s full answer. Savor it:

"Well, one of the things that will be really great -- you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience, I've always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It's a very important meaning. I never did this before. I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington, I think, 17 times, all of a sudden, I'm president of the United States. You know the story, I'm riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady and I say, this is great. But I didn't know very many people in Washington. It wasn't my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now, I know everybody and I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes like, you know, an idiot like Bolton. All he wanted to do was drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to kill people."

Afterward, he was given multiple chances to give a better answer, but he never did.

The thing is, I don't care how he articulated his answer to that question. The true answer, is that he oversaw an administration during which, a record-number of Americans claimed they were better off thnn 4 years ago, and that was during a global pandemic.

Pete, how do you explain that a record number of people say they're better off now than 4 years ago? Never before have more Americans claimed they were better off. How did that happen, what makes them feel that way?

I suppose you'll try to tell us the article doesn't say what it explicitly says?

This was during a pandemic? What would the % have been if they asked this last November? Everyone except ISIS sleeper agents would have said they were better off.

So what you're saying is a majority thinks they're better off yet they want to boot Trump anyway? Just want to be clear.

i’m not saying it. the poll said it.

for some reason you have a very hard time differentiating between what i am saying, and what i claim someone else said.

in every presidential
election, the question is asked if poole are better off then 4 years ago.

i claimed, correctly, that this year a record number of people
said they were better off.

you asked for the source.

gave you the source.

you respond with some
kind of an insult i gather, but the answer is yes. IF both polls are accurate, a majority of people
say they’re better off then 4 years ago, yet a majority will vote for biden.

i didn’t invent that theory. it’s what the polls are saying. not what i’m
saying. are you still unclear?
