Well I guess here’s exactly what I was saying: people love the economy but hate trump lol!

That's because 49% correctly credit Obama, while only 40% credit Trump for the current economy.

We're currently experiencing the longest sustained period of economic growth in our country's history. Here's a shocker for you and other Trump blind loyalists: it didn't start 11 and a half months ago! I know...crazy, right?

now tell us your predictions for a Trump presidency back in Nov and Dec 16? fully aware Obama was the president for the past 8 years and responsible for the next 2 years of economic growth. this site has a really nice search feature in case you forgot.

Thought markets would go down initially due to the uncertainty but then regain because ultimately, there's not much a president can do that early to have an affect on the economy. As long as he didn't lead us into war, which he came close a couple times, I expected things to remain relatively the same. I'm a rational person not tied to either political party. Economy overall performed a bit better in 2016 than 2017 anyway.

So if the economy is doing so well thanks to Obama and the recession was due to bush, sounds like republican presidents do nothing but get in the way of democratic economic  progress. Ya’ll have gone cray cray.  It’s important to note that neither president is at fault or fully responsible for these numbers, but come on, the numbers are pretty telling that things are far far far from falling apart like ya’ll were claiming would happen.  Let’s take a look, shall we?

GDP quarter 2 2017: +3.1%
GDP quarter 3 2017: +3.0%, (with 2 massive hurricanes)

Obama GDP avg over 8 years: +1.6% (but this boom is a result of him, remember?, lol)

unemployment: Obama’s avg 8 years: ~4.9%
                          Trump: ~4.1% (16 year low)
                          AA down to 6.8%, lowest since count began in ‘72.
employee wages up $.09 in December
                              Q3 2017 +.7%
                               Q4 2017 +.5%
 consumer confidence was at 125.9 in October, highest since 12/2000

and @PJ_Soul  , who said I didn’t care about millions of suffering folks just because I’m excited about economic growth? I didn’t, and I don’t think see how that has anything to do with what I was saying.

Please point us to ANY legislation that has passed under Trump has that has a direct effect on ANY of this?  Yes, he is riding Obama's wave.  How do I know this? Because Trump hasn't done a fucking thing since he's been in office.  NOTHING. Not one fucking piece of legislation passed.

There is this thing called happenstance, you know.

Well to be fair the market responded to trump presidency and what they thought he would do. The corporate tax rate is a big win for companies and the market.

For your first sentence, like I said, happenstance.  That's market speculation, not an direct effect of any Trump legislation or EO.  As for the corporate tax rate, that takes effect for the 2018 tax year, correct?  So it won't really see the effects from it until next tax season.

Trump tweets along Fox this morning and embarrasses himself again lol
The guy is a truly a buffoon.  He can't take a step without tripping on his panniculus.

Most powerful man in the world with access to all sorts of classified information and.......he continuously spends his mornings live tweeting and absorbing info from Fox and Friends. Beyond embarrasing.

But, but, “no company will use savings to benefit their employees”.  Shame on Wal Mart for trickling their savings down to the pockets of their employees.

Thought you were a fan of Trump because he was different. You're now a fan of a huge permanent corporate tax cut while most of the rest of us got a permanent one?

Status quo republican tax cuts, apparently....only now when we don't need them and when it adds over a trillion to the national debt.

When you are in debt, you cut back on frivolous spending...at least that’s what I did when I was in debt (thank God I am no longer in debt).  I definitely didn’t ask my parents for more money to keep my style of living the same.

gotta say, I'm mildly impressed and quite surprised that Trump has said about a new DACA bill "get me a bill and I'll sign it".

the US is in major debt now and it decided to massively cut back on its revenue source.  If you were in debt, would your solution be to reduce your hours?

Hmm. Okay great.

So how do you feel about adding 1.5 trillion dollars to our already record setting deficit then?  Probably not good......or probably good since the president is republican. You make no sense, guy.

They’ll need some extra dough after the pending Medicaid cuts kick in.
