Since Trump Takes Credit for Every Possible Bit of Good News...

...he can take the blame for this:
Death rates from suicide, drug overdoses, liver disease and dozens of other causes have been rising over the past decade for young and middle-aged adults, driving down overall life expectancy in the United States for three consecutive years, according to a strikingly bleak study published Tuesday that looked at the past six decades of mortality data.

  1. Is there anything he can't do?

    He even made some of the counted increased deaths happen in 2010....since he became president in 2016.

    Horrible of him.

    Plus, this "death rate increase" is "The 33,000 excess deaths are an estimate based on the number of all-cause midlife deaths from 2010 to 2017 " at best an estimate.

    Did you even read the article past the headline?

    More likely caused by policies of the previous administration, but even that connection is tenuous.

    In general, progressive US states have experienced falling mortality along with the rest of the advanced world. Red America is where things are different.

  4. The day after the 2008 election, Rush Limbaugh proclaimed the then current recession “Obama’s Recession” despite the fact that Obama could do nothing until he was President.

    Funny how B objects when the shoe is on the other foot.
