How can anyone on the left claim Trump has been anything but successful?

[edward37]

By almost any measurable metric the United States is flourishing. And in some areas it isn't just flourishing it is stampeding.
I will grant you that the debt/spending is a huge problem but at least the country as a whole is reaping rewards from it this time. Usually they spend boatloads and we get buptkis out of it (see Obama)
The threat of tariffs and ending trade agreements has even had some positive outcomes so far (Mexico & Canada)

Now I expect you to howl about families split up at the border (while pretending this was new to Trump) and the debt of course but policy wise you got no winning message.

I can...

He has continued the Obama economy. His GDP and employment figures are consistent with the numbers Obama put up for 8 years

He has increased the deficit in a strong economy. There is no justification for that

He has destroyed our global alliances

He pulled out of numerous treaties without offering something better

He has not built a wall and Mexico is not paying

He failed to repeal Obamacare and replace it with something better, all he did is remove healthcare from millions of people

He cut taxes on the wealthy without demanding something in return

and he just put a pos like he is on the SC republicans don't believe women

 

[healthmyths]

I am saddened by the complete ignorance of those on the left with regards to how the economy works. They use the same tired rhetoric their handlers have beaten into their heads...repeated ad nauseum. The tax cuts were for everyone who was paying taxes. The tax cuts have stimulated economic growth in the way of consumer confidence, higher wages and more jobs. It is amazing that supposedly educated people are unable to se this. It just goes to prove that protecting the liberal ideology, not matter how flawed, is more important than actual results.

If a Socialist/Democrat is elected on 2020, the economy will bust. They will blame it on Trump and the liberal lemmings will believe it.

The tax cuts raised the deficit and will and $1.5 trillion in debt
Working Americans saw token decreases while the wealthy and corporations saw 80 percent of the cut

HEY DUMMY!!!!!
What do you think the "wealthy and corporations" do with all that money???
I bet they aren't as dumb as you and would
A) Bury it in the backyard... B) or hide under the mattress as you would!
What the hell do you think the WEALTHY and corporations" do with all that EVIL tax cuts???
Where does it go? Do they spend it on yachts, cars, food, houses??? IF they did DUMMY ... who makes the yachts, the cars, the food, houses?
Obviously ignoramuses like you who probably depend on federal hand out as you too dumb to know what happens to that MONEY!

AGAIN PLEASE tell me WHAT YOU think happens???

But he found a new lover in Kim Jong Un.

THINK for once! How in the hell does it help to bankrupt companies? Put 1,400 companies out of business? Layoff 450,000 people and cut $100 billion in tax revenue?
Or why would idiots like Obama and evidently YOU want to make the USA DEPENDENT on foreign OIL???
Or even the stupid environmentalist don't seem to comprehend that putting 1 million barrel oil tanker on one mile of ocean is a lot more dangerous environmentally than

[Wyatt earp]

How are you not doing well in this booming economy? I mean if you flip burgers for a living I guess shit is bad for you. But unless you are 17 years old that is nobody's fault but your own.

I was doing just as well when Obama was in office, but how well I'm doing isn't the point. That's on me, not anything Trump is doing.

Trump inherited a good economy and immediately started applying all the bad Republican ideas that get us into recessions. - Tariffs, tax cuts for rich people, deficit spending, deregulation.

Tariffs ? That's a liberal idea

The rich did very well under Obama...... yet you people had no problem with that. Compare Obama’s net worth before being President vs. now? Are you going to justify that because he told you all the things you wanted to hear?

What specifically did Obama do to rescue the economy? Was it when he said that energy prices should NECESSARILY go up? Was it when he told small business owners, “you didn’t build that!” Perhaps it was when he said, “At a certain point, you’ve made enough money”.

How did the Great Obama stop a Depression?

1. He poured $850 billion into an economy the private sector was abandoning
2. He put the credit of the US government behind a crumbling private sector
3. He restructured and saved the banks and auto sector

Within a month of these actions, the economic panic subsided and the economic collapse reversed

Well, in foreign policy he's not been successful at anything.

With the North Korean situation it's hard to tell what's going on, whether this is a similar ply to Kim's father in 2007.

With Syria Trump has just lied to make it look like he's done something, when he did almost nothing.

With Russia he hasn't made closer ties like he said he would.

With the EU he's made things worse.

With China he's made things worse.

So, he's got two potentials, North Korea and China, and a few failures, like the EU.

With the economy he hasn't done anything. The economy is slowing down, probably because it needs to be slowing down, but he's the sort of muppet who wants the economy to be going at the speed of light. He's taken credit where credit clearly wasn't due, he's been hypocritical when it comes to statistics when viewed with what he said before the election.

He's managed to get a tax cut for himself. I'll admit he's been successful there.

Oh great, a copy and paste job that basically doesn't respond to what I said. Just misinterpret's what's happening and then pretends Trump did it.

You wrote: "Just misinterpret's what's happening" how do you "misinterpret" realities?


These are the headlines of events that haven't happened for in some cases nearly 50 years.

• The U.S. unemployment rate fell in September to 3.7 percent, the lowest since 1969,
• US unemployment falls to 3.7 percent _ lowest since 1969

• Nearly 93 percent of manufacturers are projecting further expansion for their businesses, and positive sentiment among smaller companies is up to 91.3 percent, according to a quarterly survey from the National Association of Manufacturers. It's one of the best outlooks the group has seen in the 20 years it has conducted the survey among its 14,000 members.
• Manufacturing confidence at all-time high despite workforce shortage

• Jobless claims fall to the lowest in nearly 49 years
• Jobless claims fall to the lowest in nearly 49 years

Now these are FACTS.

Wonder how many companies are relieved to not be under the extreme pressures the left has had them under forever and a day now ? I wonder how much positive outcome has it had that Trump has taken over ? I bet alot of positive outcomes has resulted, and it will keep on keeping on.

Extreme pressures like the second worst recession the US has ever seen?

 

[candycorn]

By almost any measurable metric the United States is flourishing. And in some areas it isn't just flourishing it is stampeding.
I will grant you that the debt/spending is a huge problem but at least the country as a whole is reaping rewards from it this time. Usually they spend boatloads and we get buptkis out of it (see Obama)
The threat of tariffs and ending trade agreements has even had some positive outcomes so far (Mexico & Canada)

Now I expect you to howl about families split up at the border (while pretending this was new to Trump) and the debt of course but policy wise you got no winning message.

I can...

He has continued the Obama economy. His GDP and employment figures are consistent with the numbers Obama put up for 8 years

He has increased the deficit in a strong economy. There is no justification for that

He has destroyed our global alliances

He pulled out of numerous treaties without offering something better

He has not built a wall and Mexico is not paying

He failed to repeal Obamacare and replace it with something better, all he did is remove healthcare from millions of people

He cut taxes on the wealthy without demanding something in return

WELL I can tell you for ONE DAMN sure that Trump would NEVER make statements or actions like the dumb economically stupid Obama made like these!

THINK for once! How in the hell does it help to bankrupt companies? Put 1,400 companies out of business? Layoff 450,000 people and cut $100 billion in tax revenue?
Or why would idiots like Obama and evidently YOU want to make the USA DEPENDENT on foreign OIL???
Or even the stupid environmentalist don't seem to comprehend that putting 1 million barrel oil tanker on one mile of ocean is a lot more dangerous environmentally than
1 mile of pipeline carrying 700 BARRELS! Yet environmentalists and evidently idiots like you never thought of that!

OH and where in the hell was obama's magic wand that he poked fun of with Trump in regards to manufacturing jobs not coming back???
View attachment 220932

We are running a trillion dollar deficit this year.
If the economy is booming; why is that so?

Why do we need to run a deficit with a booming economy?

Republicans complained about Obama’s deficit while he was trying to rescue the economy

What specifically did Obama do to rescue the economy? Was it when he said that energy prices should NECESSARILY go up? Was it when he told small business owners, “you didn’t build that!” Perhaps it was when he said, “At a certain point, you’ve made enough money”.

More than any one other thing, he made banks be responsible once more so that we wouldn't have to have more bail outs in the future of "too big to fail" organizations. This helped the confidence of Americans. It was more to stabilize the economy which was in free fall thanks to the deregulators.
