There’s a Trump tweet for everything
When the latest jobs report revealed the extent of the economic damage that Donald Trump has done with his negligent mishandling of the coronavirus crisis, I decided I was going to be clever about it. I wanted to take the old “no jobs, no cash, no hope” and throw it at Trump’s feet.
But I didn’t know who should be credited as the joke’s original author, so I went digging to try to find out who wrote it. When I googled for “no jobs, no cash, no hope” I landed on this search result of all things:
"@chiIIdog: @realDonaldTrump ten years ago, we had steve jobs, bob hope, and johnny cash. now, we have no jobs, no cash, and no hope."
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2013
.
That’s right, Donald Trump tried to throw that same joke at President Obama back in 2013, and now it’s Trump who’s guilty of having truly tanked the economy. Trump spent the Obama era playing armchair president, insisting in tweet after tweet that he could have been doing a better job. Now Trump is doing a far worse job – and it means there’s an old Trump tweet for every occasion.
