US markets only did well because we followed the trend of the global economy.

I don't expect the corporate media to report the actual facts regarding the Biden vs Trump economies, Bidens was better in every possible way, especially for the Middle/working Class. But getting the truth out here is a way we can combat the corporate media.

If Biden had these jobs and GDP growth numbers, the mainstream media would be spending 90% of their time demanding he resign.
