    The current US economy is the greatest economy… if you’re a billionaire

    If you’re a landlord collecting rent from 1,000 tenants, you’re rolling in cash right now

    If you own a large amount of stocks, you’re rolling in cash right now

    The economy is great for the rich because they’re able to take all the value generated by the working class

      You can generally replace the word ‘economy’ with ‘rich people’s yachts’ -

      "Trump claims ‘a lot of people don’t see’ that America has ‘the greatest rich people’s yachts right now’ .

      Yep - still works.
