He was running for office. Same reason he made fun of Ted Cruz and then allied with him. They did pay for themselves. Income didn't go down. Our expenses are just too high.Why not military spending? It’s not good for the companies getting the orders?It can if its infrastructure spend, sure. Again, we are in a global economy and while we were doing well the rest of the world wasn't.Government spending can boost gdp also. And even running a trillion deficit Trump failed.What doesn't make sense? Be specific. He wanted to spend more on the military. That is it.I can’t pretend any of that makes sense.And then he said he didn't realize how much more the military needed. So he changed his view. Again, do you or do you not want to discuss if that was prudent. But that was why he overspent. Let me explain further since you're dumb. If my wife and I agree that our budget is $35k for a new car but once we get in there and see that the car we want will cost $42k...does that mean we broke our agreement or made an adjustment based on new knowledge and data. Trump claimed it was due to the military needing more TLC than he initially thought. Not sure how many more times you need this explained to you.Throughout the 2016 campaign and since, the president and his party have vowed to kick-start tepid Obama-era economic growth. Specifically, they insisted tax cuts and deregulation would return growth to its post-World War II average of 3 percent — a level, candidate Trump said derisively, that President Barack Obama became “the first president in modern history” never to reach in a single year.
For an independent you spend a lot of time defending failed Trump. Haha
If you want to increase GDP you lower taxes and increase wages but we are also in a global economy and the rest of the world was fairly stagnant sans India and China and its tough to trust China's numbers so not sure what he could have done differently. We can debate military spend for sure. The alternative to DJT was Mrs. Clinton. No thank you.
Why did Trump make fun of less than 3%?
What did he mean when he said tax cuts would pay for themselves?
