18. MAGA chuds apparently believe that the President has a big red button...

...on his desk that says "Make Economy Gooder" that he refuses to push. And of course, Trump will definitely be the President who will push that button--which in his case will be right next to the "Bring Diet Coke" button, I suppose. These are also the same brain donors that complain interminably about how lousy the economy is, yet they always seem to have the money to visit the diner so they can be interviewed by cable news reporters.

...if the economy is so rotten and everyone is broke, how is it that so many MAGA chuds are able to sit idle at "Fred's Typical Ohio Diner" all day waiting for Steve Doocy to show up and interview them about the crappy economy? Furthermore, if the economy is indeed so abysmal, why is everyone paying extra for breakfast at the diner, not cooking it themselves?...

...I guess you could call this the Schrödinger MAGA economy, where chuds can complain about how they apparently want a USSR-style market ( where Biden has a button he refuses to push that says "Make Economy Gooder" ), yet the economy is firing on enough cylinders that the chuds can still find enough coins under the mattress to make it to the diner for a few bon mots with Steve Doocy...
