The reality of Trump’s economy

I posted facts, you people have jack shit.

Not in this thread you did not.

Its not my fault you people are ignorant and arrive to a political discussion pathetically informed.

so, you fully admit you have posted no facts.

Thanks for coming clean.

Posted them, and they were reported by a major news organization. Its not my fault you people are ignorant and uninformed.

What the fuck are you even talking about? you have not posted shit.

You are ignorant of the facts I have posted and what has been widely reported in the news. I would provide you with a link so you can catch up with those of us who arrive to these discussions informed but most of you people choose ignorance when the facts are placed at your feet because they conflict with your propaganda.

you not not posted a single fact or a link in this thread. Are you speaking of another thread?
 
Meanwhile two key economic measures used for decades to judge economic optimism, one national one global show Trump achieving historic highs. Levels Obama could only dream of. Ouch that's gonna leave a mark libs :auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg:

Not really. Your denials are expected.

Those studies were posted, Trump crushed Obama and nearly all previous presidents. Facts vs your horse shit.

Economic optimism is not economic fact. Understand?
Economic facts

Inflation is in check
Company earnings for first quarter better than expected

Unemployment is low
Wages are on the rise

Productivity rose in first quarter of 2019
Manufacturing rose in first quarter of 2019
March jobless rates down in 267 of 389 metro areas
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Understand?

The OP explains all the facts.

Understand?

Trump inherited record growth.

Understand?

Trump inherited full employment.

Understand?

Trump inherited a record stock market that had been rising for more than 7 years before Trump.

Understand?

Inflation is not in check. We face trillion dollar deficits. The tax cuts did not do what Trump said. He is creating fewer jobs than Obama, in my state and others surrounding us, his trade wars are killing farmers. He's talking about a 2 trillion dollar infrastructure plan. Revenue will be down 10 percent because of tax cuts. How will this be paid for? If this is not started this year, it's going to cost more. The reality here is that we are headed for trouble.

Understand?

Obama inherited a depression, the economy did not decline because of overregulation. You republicans have shown that your economic policies always fail. Yet you keep repeating the same failed formula. Once again Trump gave huge tax breaks to the rich. It did not correspond to increases in jobs or annual GDP of between 4-6 percent as he claimed would happen. So keep talking stupid just like you did during GW Bush.

Understand?

You just poured fact acid on countless liberals.

He poured acid on himself.
 
Trump has lied over 10,000 times. Now to his credit, Trump is very good at the big lie. You know, the one Goebbels describes:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Trump does this all the time. His claims about the economy is a prime example.

Forget His Boasts; Growth Is Just Average and Well Behind Reagan, Clinton, Even Carter

Donald Trump keeps boasting about what a great economy he should get credited for creating. But his administration’s own reports don’t support his claims, which also don’t come close to what he promised voters.

His results so far have been, well, just average.

As if it were a stellar achievement, Trump boasted last week, the economy grew at an annual rate of 3.2% in the first three months of this year. Big deal. That’s precisely the average since 1947.


Candidate Trump boasted many times that he would boost economic growth. In October 2015, he said: “I actually think we can go higher than 4 percent. I think you can go to 5 percent or 6 percent.”

So far, the best he has done is 4.2% in the second quarter of 2018.

Obama’s quarterly economic growth rate beat Trump’s best four times, George W. Bush five times, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan 13 times each. One-term president Jimmy Carter beat Trump six times and one-termer George H. W. Bush did it five times.

Carter’s best, by the way, was 16.4% growth, four times Trump’s best so far.


Trump’s last budget is projected to run a deficit almost 1.5 times the size of Obama’s last budget deficit according to the Trump administration’s own data, known as Historical Table 1.3.

Trump’s average annual budget deficit over four years will be the worst of any president from Carter through George W. Bush.

The average Trump shortfall will be 4.6% of the economy.

Obama’s was about the same as Trump at 5% of the economy, mostly because of the Great Recession that he inherited. In his second term, Obama’s budget shortfall was less than 2.5% of the economy.

The cost to you of Trump’s borrow-and-spend approach? Instead of retiring the federal debt in eight years, as Trump told voters he could easily do because he was “the king of debt,” the federal debt is growing at the rate of $30 per day for a family of four. That’s almost $11,000 per year for that family.

Trump’s borrow-and-spend, however, has failed to stimulate faster jobs creation.

Under Trump, job growth is slower than under Obama. Trump’s average is 198,000 more jobs per month. That’s good, but far from great.

Obama, during his last six years and a month, averaged 204,000 more jobs each month.


Trump promised if elected the nation would add 25 million new jobs in 10 years. He’s on track to fall more than a million jobs short of that goal.

That goal was nothing to brag about, either. Before Trump started making campaign promises the projections of future job growth were about what Trump sold as a miracle waiting for him to make it happen.

The reality is that Trump’s economic performance, measured by his own administration, is merely average.

Just wondering, were you in the workforce during the 2008-2012 period?
 
And yet the economy continues to boom. Suck it up buttercup.

Boom?

The stock markets have been stagnant for 456 days...not the sign of a booming economy.

Trump is begging the Fed to lower the rate...not something you do during a booming economy

Trump is begging the Fed to do another round of QE....not something you do during a booming economy
When the DOW is "stagnant" for over a year at 1/3 higher than it's ever been, that's a sustained boom. It's like saying that the unemployment rate is stagnant at under 4%. Now, suck it up buttercups.

That is not a boom, that is stagnation.

No growth = stagnation.

Growth = boom.

If the economy is booming, why is Trump begging for another round of QE?
Snowflakes have difficulty coming to terms with Trump's success. We get that. You are not alone.

Pull your head out of Trump's ass and get some oxygen...

why is Trump begging for another round of QE if things are so damn rosy?

why is Trump begging for another rate drops if things are so damn rosy.

Even Trump knows they are not, but you sheep are too stupid to see it

Nicolás Maduro TrumPutin understands that things are not going to get better; the only direction his fake ass economy has to go is SOUTH.

Maybe these maggots will finally understand once they are getting their water from a polluted stream full of sewage.

Were you?

Obama inherited a depression when he took office on 1-20-09. And instead of understanding that, you idiots blamed Obama for causing an economic downturn when the downturn was there when he took office. You give him no credit for turning things around because of the problem you have, then give Trump credit for turning around the economy he inherited that was turned around by Obama.

Then you ask me this dumb ass question like the lie you've been telling yourself is true. The economy has grown little under Trump. He runs his mouth about record low black unemployment and your dumb ass believes that Trump miraculously set a record. Black unemployment had been dropping for years under Obama and dropped 9 percent during his term. 3 years into Trump it dropped 1 percent. It's an all time low, but not because of Trump.

So where you even living in America between 1-20-2009 through 1-20-2017?

.... and Obama admitted American defeat when he said the manufacturing jobs were not coming back. What other American President ever admitted such defeat? Check what happened to American manufacturing jobs under Trump compared to Obama?
 

I don't think there is person out there that was working during the 2008-2012 period that would claim that economy was superior to the one we have now. We can argue about who fixed it. But, there is no comparison.

There is no argument about who fixed it. Just like there is no argument as to the fact that republican policy damn near killed our economy. And Trump is doing the same things that created the depression. Our economy today is not better because of Trump.

Carter’s best, by the way, was 16.4% growth, four times Trump’s best so far.


Trump’s last budget is projected to run a deficit almost 1.5 times the size of Obama’s last budget deficit according to the Trump administration’s own data, known as Historical Table 1.3.

Trump’s average annual budget deficit over four years will be the worst of any president from Carter through George W. Bush.

The average Trump shortfall will be 4.6% of the economy.

Obama’s was about the same as Trump at 5% of the economy, mostly because of the Great Recession that he inherited. In his second term, Obama’s budget shortfall was less than 2.5% of the economy.

The cost to you of Trump’s borrow-and-spend approach? Instead of retiring the federal debt in eight years, as Trump told voters he could easily do because he was “the king of debt,” the federal debt is growing at the rate of $30 per day for a family of four. That’s almost $11,000 per year for that family.

Trump’s borrow-and-spend, however, has failed to stimulate faster jobs creation.

Under Trump, job growth is slower than under Obama. Trump’s average is 198,000 more jobs per month. That’s good, but far from great.

Obama, during his last six years and a month, averaged 204,000 more jobs each month.


Trump promised if elected the nation would add 25 million new jobs in 10 years. He’s on track to fall more than a million jobs short of that goal.

That goal was nothing to brag about, either. Before Trump started making campaign promises the projections of future job growth were about what Trump sold as a miracle waiting for him to make it happen.

The reality is that Trump’s economic performance, measured by his own administration, is merely average.

.... and Obama admitted American defeat when he said the manufacturing jobs were not coming back. What other American President ever admitted such defeat? Check what happened to American manufacturing jobs under Trump compared to Obama?

More than 7 years of consecutive job growth is what happened under Obama. Doesn't look like admitting defeat to me.
