Precisely how has Trump "greatly improved on it"?The unemployment rate has continued the downward trajectory it was enjoying when Trump took office.After Trump's win, I posted that my fear was that he'd screw up so badly that, in response, the Regressive Left would be able to fully take over the Democratic Party. Then we'd see only the far ends of the spectrum represented in 2020. So no matter which party won, it would be very bad news.A pity petulance isn't an impeachable offense
His supporters actually applaud him his behavior w/all manner of 'tough guy' claims
Preparing one's self for lack of choice, illusion of democracy & loss of freedoms in an orwellian dystopia is easier once accepted
~S~
Right now, at this moment, my fear is pretty much playing out in real time.

Normally I love your posts. But your out to lunch on this one.
Trump has done a great job. What you forget is that he's not a politician and never will be. He's a businessman who know how to get things done without all the glad handing which politicians are great at.
UE is the lowest its been in 50 years. The economy is doing great and we have jobs all across the country.
He's not as smooth as a politician but he gets his foreign policy done as well.
He'll win in 2020 so you'd better get used to that fact.
The economy is at a mere 2.0% GDP and the Fed has had to step in to lower rates to deal with the weakness.
We are officially in a manufacturing recession.
We have exploded the deficit in a time of growth, something that even Keynes himself would have disliked.
Those are just facts. Hopefully a (good) trade deal with China will get us back on track. But at the moment, there is not much for Trump to crow about on this topic.

Oh Barry left Trump a fair hand but Trump has improved on it greatly.
If you think any POTUS of either party will ever balance the budget then you might as well piss up a rope.
The Only POTUS who did it was Andrew Jackson and that was in 1840.
Oh and I hope you aren't holding your breath for a recession cause it won't happen. The country is doing great right now and will continue to do great.
Nope, as I've pointed out here many times, I'm always hopeful regardless of the letter that follows a President's name. This is my profession, so I always want a strong economy.
Anything else?

Believe as you wish and I will to. Have a great day.
