The NY Times flips the script on the economic system, AOC – Latest News
Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This evaluation:
“China Wins as Trump Cedes Leadership of the Global Economy” — The New York Times’ Peter S. Goodman, Thursday
We say: Trump’s taken the “global economy” by the horns, putting commerce offers throughout and successful trillions in investment.
The US economic system grew at an spectacular 4.4% tempo in final yr’s third quarter; Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick initiatives more than 5% this quarter.
By distinction, China’s shaky economic system is seeing investment plunge, property values fall and debt mount. If Trump is “ceding leadership,” we’ll take it any day!

“It is really damning when we think about the degree to which mass-media outlets reported on Joe Biden [declining] and . . . everyone is now pretending [Trump declining] is normal.” — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Wednesday
AOC claims that Trump is coming into mental decline: “The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden and everyone is now pretending this is normal.” pic.twitter.com/Zf50qZhMZC— TheBlaze (@theblaze) January 22, 2026
We say: Yes, it’s “damning” — however not the means AOC thinks. In reality, most media actively denied Biden’s decline till it was too apparent to disregard.
Now, a lot of the media is, the truth is, echoing the suggestion that Trump, like Biden, is simply too impaired to stay president — at the same time as his each day appearances show the reverse.

“The first murder in the city of Minneapolis was perpetrated by federal agents.” — Minneapolis City Councilmember Jamison Whiting, Tuesday
Democrat Minneapolis City Councilmember Jamison Whiting tells disgusting lies to smear ICE brokers who’re underneath assault whereas making an attempt to arrest rapists, murderers, and pedophiles.WHITING: “If this was about safety ICE would be out of our city.” pic.twitter.com/0VG5Y6A1NH— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) January 21, 2026
We say: Whiting was referencing the death of Renee Good, who was shot by a federal agent in self-defense as she drove her car into him after blocking visitors to hinder ICE.
So far, neither the agent nor anybody else has been charged with something, not to mention homicide.
This evaluation:
“In just one year, Donald Trump has tanked the economy, sent prices soaring, decimated the job market, and left families everywhere struggling.” — DNC Chairman Ken Martin, Tuesday

We say: Dem spin-artist Martin have to be getting his misinformation from the Times (see above).
The reality? GDP is up properly, and unemployment (4.4%) is on par with Joe Biden’s final eight months in workplace.
True, costs are high, however that’s because of Biden-era hikes: Inflation final month was simply 2.7%, down from a peak of 9.1% underneath Joe.
