---You voted for a guy who said the elections were rigged.
Which election?
2016
Anyways, you guys are being petty and intellectually dishonest. Trump may have made america great again for millionaires and billionaires but not middle class people. Republican policies will not help the middle class overall. Oh sure, if we are doing things their way, and by their way I mean trickle down, I guess Trump's tax break was nice because it gave everyone a 30 cent raise. But we all know that's not going to change anything for the middle class.
I disagree with Trump's fiscal policies but ok, so he gave the rich a tax break and added to the debt. So what's going to happen? Eventually that debt is going to bankrupt America. And it will all happen on purpose. This is capitalism's flaw. Our money is not backed by anything. So it's all made up. Eventually the stock market will go bust and you better hope it's not right before you are ready to retire otherwise you are fucked.
Obama had a slow steady well regulated economy. He wasn't willing to give away the farm just to get a temporary bump.
Long story short, most Americans are struggling and they deserve it because they either don't vote or they vote GOP.
I make over $100K and I have no debt, no kids, no mortgage. If America re elects Trump I'll survive it. Hell I'll even be ok if they cut my social security by 25%. How many of you will be?

“Middle-class life is now 30 percent more expensive than it was 20 years ago,” Quart writes, citing the costs of housing, education, health care and child care in particular. “In some cases the cost of daily life over the last 20 years has doubled.”
“Before the 2008 crash, only one-quarter of Americans viewed themselves as lower class or lower-middle class. No longer. After the recession of 2008 . . . a full 40 percent of Americans viewed themselves as being at the bottom of the pyramid.”
One of the book’s main messages, therefore, is that people finding it impossible to make ends meet shouldn’t blame themselves. It’s the system, she says, that’s broken.
“The main problem is a basic lack of a 21st century safety net for families,” Quart tells The Post, offering the cost of day care as just one example.
“In Montreal,” where day care is government subsidized, it costs “$7 to $20 a day. That makes a huge difference for families.” Figured annually for 50 weeks a year, five days a week, people in Montreal pay $1,750 to $5,000 per year on child care.
By comparison, Quart says that here, “many of the families I spoke to, who were ostensibly middle class, were spending around 20 to 30 percent of their income on day care.” Annual averages in the US range from “$10,468 for a center-based child-care program to $28,905 for a nanny.”
Tl,dr.
Try to have a single point or at most two, and try to put them across in a condensed manner.
I don't have time for the rolling ranting of a TDS suffering mouth breather such as yourself.

From the campaign trail to today, President Donald Trump has promised he would bring back coal and manufacturing jobs to the United States — and he’s been specifically referencing Pennsylvania.
Trump’s Economy Is Failing Exactly Where He Needs It to Succeed
Weakness in manufacturing in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan could doom the president’s re-election chances.
Trump’s Economy Is Failing Exactly Where He Needs It to Succeed
When shockingly poor data on U.S. manufacturing was released Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump was ready with his usual response to any bad economic news: He blamed Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell. Increasingly, however, it is getting harder for the president to avoid responsibility for regional weaknesses in the economy — and the effects on his chances for re-election could be devastating.
The current economy is tracking dangerously close to the one that derailed Hillary Clinton’s candidacy in 2016. Regardless of whether the U.S. is headed for a full-scale recession, according to this latest data it has almost certainly entered a sectoral or mini-recession similar to 2015’s. The latest readings of the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturers survey are actually below those of early 2016, and the trajectory is far steeper.
The Trade War Has Hit Manufacturing
And based on new orders for exports, there is more pain ahead
I told you guys. But you guys don't believe the facts. Fake news you'll say.
So Trump is the first President ever not to be able to follow through on a campaign promise?
LOL
At least Trump is working to get and keep good jobs here instead of saying "those jobs are not coming back"
