Donald Trump created a bogus economy ... U.S. Growth Slowest Since 2016, Complicating Trump’s pitch

[Denizen]

It's very arguable that the spike in 2017 through to early 2018 was a continuation of Obama's economy.

Trump even achieved a low of 1.1% in q3 2018.

Everything about Trump is bogus. He inherited his wealth and supplemented it with Russian mob money when he faced bankruptcy.

Trump inherited a healthy growing economy from Obama and expert economic consensus is that Trump will cause a recession.

The only thing growing under Trump's dead hand is the government debt which is growing at record rates. It's 'yooj' and burgeoning as debt growth is > 2.5 x GDP growth. This is unsustainable and Donald Trump's bogus casino economy is headed for a bust.

The government’s latest economic scorecard arrived on Thursday, offering fresh evidence that the economy continues to grow, but at a frustratingly slow pace.

As the nation heads toward a presidential election, the question is whether voters will view steady but unspectacular growth as a sign that President Trump’s handling of the economy has succeeded or stumbled.

Gross domestic product, which measures the value of goods and services produced inside the United States, grew at a 2.1 percent annual rate between October and December, the same as the previous three months, according to preliminary data released by the Commerce Department. As for 2019 as a whole, the report shows that the economy turned in a weaker annual showing than it did in 2017 and 2018.

In previous decades, growth that consistently fell below 3 percent would have been seen as distressing. Now most economists — at least those outside the administration — see normal growth circling the 2 percent mark.

Trump inherited Obamas economy and took credit for the spike when he did nothing to make it happen. But his base is so full of racism they were more than glad to give trump credit so they could keep denigrating Obama. We can't afford 4 more years of trump. Literally.

If Obama’s economy was sooooooooooooo great why did food stamps increase by a whopping 70%?

Trump family discovering how to get caviar and champagne on food stamps?

Come back to USMB when you figure out how to extract your head from Obama's ass. The Lack of Oxygen is making you incoherent.

You are evidently experienced in such matters. Thanks for sharing.

Without the influx of illegals, the economy is easily sustaining jobs for Americans, that is why the unemployment rate is so low, as it should be!

Besides China, which economy is growing faster than the US? And let us not point at some little country with 500,000 citizens, I am talking MAJOR economy! These people are just spinning as fast as they can, lol.

Unlike Obama, Trump is NOT the President of the world, nor does he want to be. His job is to create policies that keep AMERICANS employed and comfortable, while Socialist Europe straightens out their crap!

Is that what the cities did? Their saving grace is the center city core keeps expanding for some reason. The neighborhoods keep getting poorer even with gentrification. Otherwise the game is over.

You republicans crack me up. First off, cities are dependent on state and federal money, must follow state and federal constitutions, and legislation made at both levels affect city decisions. Second, republicans run for offices in those cities, if their policies are going to stop what's going on, why are they losing?

trumps policies aren't doing that. trump will repeat numbers and uniformed, intellectually lazy people will accept them as fact instead of doing the research necessary.

Our President said that American companies that moved offshore are coming back. Does anyone know who? Black & Decker? Craftsman? I hear that even John Deere is laying off/cutting back even with the millions of $ in government subsidies to farmers cut off by tariffs.

Evidently your google is broken.

You only think this because the economy in 2017/18/19 was better than 2009-2016.

Trump even achieved a low of 1.1% in q3 2018.

2017/18/19 had a higher yearly growth rate than any three consecutive years under the prior administration.

Everything you parasites post is slander you fuckin retard.

See what I mean? How are you allowed to continue to post here? Oh my God, what if you’re a moderator? Are you a moderator?

Dean, ignore this loser. He/she/it cannot cope and channels unspecified vitriol with a scattergun approach. There is no debate, just hate. Best to walk away!

We see it. The objective truth is complicating democrat narrative.

Objective? Republican objective = running hysterically from witnesses and documentary proof! But thanks for the laugh.

Yeah, but at least he exploded the deficit and watched as the Fed had to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into markets to keep them afloat.

So there's that.

I am with you on the deficit and the debt.

He should fire 50% of federal workers and cut the entire budget in half. 50 cents on the dollar across the board.

Not happening...

Trump run the country like he run his business and that is not good...

But you agree the Federal Budget should be cut dramatically, right?
