Trump Wins Again

[Harpy Eagle]

The Fed may have “slightly overdone it” when it last raised interest rates by a quarter point in December. - St. Louis Fed President James Bullard

which just highlights the weakness of the economy, considering even with the hike we are still low historically speaking...

View attachment 270794

Or it reveals we are expanding the economy, creating wealth, and need more cash to continue doing so.

Inflation:

Or the bigger picture...

 

[IM2]

So far with Trump nothing ever happens.

• A nicely and sustainably expanding economy (which has raised all ships) with low inflation.
• Historically low unemployment (especially amongst our minorities) with rising wages and disposable income.
• A strong dollar and investment markets.
• A righting of what had been a listing (left) USSC.
• Repeated exposure of our self-serving swamp and the nefarious players within it, including but not limited to our MSM/DNC and high-ranking mutts at both our DOJ & FBI.
• Job Growth Underscores Economy’s Vigor; Unemployment at Half-Century Low

No wonder you bitter, anti-American leftards are so hysterical. What is good for America seems bad to you. I suppose it is.

Thank you Mr Prez and MAGA, baby!!

A expanding economy that started growing under Obama. The unemployment rate was a whopping 4.7%. Things are so great yet Trump is pushing the Fed to lower interest rates which are still at a historic low.

Stop trying to deny what even CNN's Wolf Blitzer was forced by the facts to admit … American's are doing well and much as you 'tards need to believe it, this ain't Obama's economy.

Sheesh.

Unfortunately for you, Trump was handed a growing economy. You guys are trying to compare Trump and Obama like things were exactly the same for both presidents. This is where your opinion fails. Trump did not create the current economic growth. That's just the way it is. Obama inherited an economy losing jobs and we have had over 100 months of consecutive job growth. Trump has been in office for 29. So no matter how much credit you want to give Trump, you can't.

You are, as usual, confused. It wasn't me who injected Obama into the discourse but rather a bitter 'tard who just can't deal with the fact that we are doing well and that Trump is POTUS.

Inflation:

I'm not the confused one here. Trump is president but he didn't create the growth.

So, what is Trump's record now.... 53 - 0?

Every time somebody says he's gonna lose, he wins. Every time somebody says he's doing it wrong, turns out he's doing it right.

Interesting article.

Of course, dims won't have a clue since Comedy Central never covers economics; but for you people that care....

Trump's trade war hurting China more than US, IMF says

Since the U.S.-China trade warOpens a New Window. began more than a year ago, President TrumpOpens a New Window. has maintained that billions of dollars in tariffs are hurting Beijing more than Washington – and on Tuesday, the president’s argument received some support from the International Monetary Fund.

In its update to the biannual World Economic Outlook, the Washington-based IMF upgraded its forecast of U.S. growth to 2.6 percent from 2.3 percent, while lowering its outlook for Chinese growth. It also noted that growth was "better than expected" in the U.S.

But in the country-by-country evaluation, the IMF said it expects the effect of tit-for-tat tariffs and weakening external demand to add pressure to China’s already-cooling economy.

Me:

Meanwhile, our Markets are setting records. Our Job Growth is off the scale, wages are up for the Working man and woman for the first time in decades........

And China is slowing down dramatically. They still have growth but it's not enough. Not for them. They're so far behind that they need double-digit growth to even begin to catch up.

Who was it in here that kept telling us how badly Trump, and us, were going to lose the Trade War?

hmmmmm...... Bet it was some dimocraps that are hiding in the weeds.

Not only is Trump always right but

dimocraps are always wrong

About everything

Job growth is off the scale? I thought the numbers were similar to Obama's jobs numbers.

Since 2000, the middle class has shrunk in size, fallen backward in income and wealth and shed some. This story is from 2012.

Since 2000, median family income has fallen 5 percent, from $72,956 to $69,487. All in all, the middle class ended the decade poorer, smaller and less optimistic than they were at the turn of the millennium. The destruction of middle-class wealth, in particular, erased nearly two decades of gains.

2018 Median Household Income. in the United States rose from $61,858 in May 2018 to $62,175 in June 2018. So still not even as good as it was in 2000.

And the assault on the middle class started on Reagan's watch. Long before the Bush Lost Decade and Greatest Recession since the Great Depression.

The middle class has shrunk from 61 percent of the U.S. population in 1970 to just 51 percent in 2010

The US posted a $234 billion budget deficit last month, the biggest one-month deficit in history

IN HISTORY!!!

The budget deficit for February came in at $234 billion, according to the Treasury, higher than the previous monthly record of $231.7 billion set in 2012. The deficit was also 8.7% higher than the $215.2 billion deficit posted in February 2018.

The budget deficit measures the shortfall of government revenues compared to what the government spends. Recent legislative changes have driven the deficit up to its highest levels since the financial crisis.

The deficit for the first five months of the government's 2019 fiscal year, which runs from October 2018 through October 2019, hit $544.2 billion — up 40% from the first five months of fiscal year 2018.

Read more:Trump once promised to eliminate the national debt in 8 years — but his new budget shows the president is going in the opposite direction»

The growing deficit has been fueled by two big factors. First, President Donald Trump's and the GOP's tax reform law — named the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) — has caused revenues to slide. According to the Treasury, revenue for the first five months of fiscal year 2019 is down a little less than 1% compared to the same period the year before.

Second, spending is soaring due to the bipartisan budget compromise from early 2018 and long-term programs. Spending for the start of fiscal year 2019 is up 9% compared to the same time period last fiscal year.

Remember when Republicans were spending hawks on Obama's watch? The debt matters, now it don't.

And Trump said he'd eliminate the debt in 8 years. Do you think he was lying? Clearly he was.

Exactly Sealy. Trump told us that he was going to get rid of the national debt, and that he could do it in 8 years. So much for "winning" on that count, as he has significantly increased the debt.

Not my fault you guys don't want to believe it. He said it in an interview with the Washington Post. And, based on what he just did to the budget, he's going in the wrong direction with all this new spending.

Trump: I will eliminate U.S. debt in 8 years

Donald Trump insists he would be able to wipe out the United States’s debt in eight years.

The Republican presidential front-runner said in a wide-ranging interview with The Washington Post that he’d be able to get rid of the more than $19 trillion debt “over a period of eight years.”

Eliminating that amount of debt in eight years is highly improbable, according to most economists, The Washington Post reported. It could require using $2 trillion a year from the annual $4 trillion budget to pay off holders of the debt.

Trump insisted in the interview that “renegotiating all of our deals” would help pay down the debt by sparking economic growth.

OT also said he was going to show his taxes
Nobody knows if trumpf committed any tax fraud, but I have a different explanation for why he won't show them:
1. They will show us that trumpf has been lying about his true wealth for decades.
2. They will show us how uncharitable trumpf is.
3. They will reveal his many conflicts of interest.
4. They might tell us who he owes money to.
The first two won't disqualify trumpf as president, they'll merely tell us how big a liar he is and how selfish he is. But the third and fourth are highly problematic to his remaining as president.
Which is why trumpf won't show his returns. They will condemn him.

2.9% annual GDP....we were told that was bad when the last guy was president.

Now you are just being obtuse. He said in an interview with the Washington Post that he could bring down the debt in 8 years. When he said that, he was campaigning, and that 8 year comment was his hope that he would get 2 terms. And, apparently, that 8 year comment worked, because you Trump supporters have been saying since 2016 that Trump was going to win in 2020.
