    Yeah I’m not down voting either.

    Trump was only referring to one consequence (Nobody has money because Biden bad.)

    But Trump didn’t say that nobody has money. He said some don’t have money because of Biden and therefore can’t donate. If we assume the default is some money but not extra to donate, that means those who can donate have extra money because of Biden.

      No, not really. That just means one or more of three things:

      1. Because Biden’s actions didn’t affect them at all. Like a tornado not destroying your house.

      2. Because someone else helped them (e.g. Republican organizations handing out money - which is… fantasy)

      3. Because in spite of Biden’s actions affecting everybody, those people still had some money left to donate. Like how during a recession many people lost their jobs, and some of those people lost their houses, but some others could still make their mortgage payments.

      In the end, I understand what you’re saying, and even though we differ on how stupid Trump’s message is, we agree that it was a stupid (and false) thing to say.
