But heaven forbid conservatives should ever poke fun at liberals.
There's no point in talking numbers... I mentioned the employment record earlier, for example (best in decades). Completely ignored.
And those few who don't ignore it, just claim it has nothing to do with Trump anyway.
Same thing with the economy and stock market. "Oh, those were already strong at the end of Obama's term."
I watched the election. I remember it well.
The markets were soaring when it became evident Trump was going to win.
The country being divided on the other hand... well now, that's a bad thing, so let's blame Donald for it.
Some even find a way to blame him for North Korea testing nukes since 2006. lol
I give you both points. PS thanks for the,levity LOL. The stock market and the economy have improved at a faster rate since Trump took office. But it's not based on anything real. The economy is driven by the demand of the middle class. If they have more to spend, the economy grows. The Trump tax cuts have had a euphoric response in the economy. Kinda like a sugar high. But there is nothing to sustain it. I have seen no credible evidence that real wages are going up in any significant way. Sure some feel richer because ther 401k balances have gone up. Some jobs coming back, but what kind of jobs? Not coal jobs like Trump promised. In fact the tariff fiasco will likely stifle demand because prices will go up.
der trump. Unemployment is also better.
