    I’d be furious too, having such incompetent, out-of-touch advisors. This article alludes to it but others have gone more in-depth: Biden’s advisors keep telling him the economy is great, the problem is messaging: the American people just haven’t heard how great it is. Telling people struggling to pay their bills every month that they’re better off than they were four years ago isn’t messaging, it’s gaslighting. His advisors should be telling him the truth, that the economy is only good on paper, that while the “haves” are living large the “have nots” are not only struggling, their ranks are quickly growing. Don’t get me wrong, anyone who votes for Trump because they think he’ll do better at economic issues is a moron, but history shows that a lot of people are going to go this route come November at the current pace of things. And Biden’s advisors are just as moronic if they don’t understand this.
