You know, considering that Trump hasn't passed any major legislation that will affect the economy until late December, I'd say that most of his numbers over the first year are because of the momentum from Obama's term.
If you want to really see how Trump's plans are going to effect the economy, wait until the end of 2018, because that will be the first year of his actual policies.
All Trump has done this year is yell about how great he is and that he had nothing to do with Russia.
And oh yeah.....................Obamacare is still in effect. Where's that repeal and replace?
Come on biker. Even that kind of sevile brown-nosing for Obama cannot explain why the economy has skyrocketted since Trump was elected.
There is little doubt that a wind of fresh air has blown in on Americaa's economy after the yoke of Obamin policies were removed, or even it's expectation.
Like I said, I'm going to wait until the end of 2018, when we see actual tangible proof one way or the other concerning Trump's tax policies. Trump hasn't really done anything to effect the economy one way or the other. All he has done is talk about how he's going to bring jobs back, but his track record is kinda sketchy on that. Remember Carrier? They still moved over half of their jobs out of country. Trump said he saved them all but he didn't.
And yeah, this link is from FOX News, a site you conservatives appear to trust.
Final round of layoffs planned at Carrier plant Trump promised to save
Carrier Corp., the HVAC manufacturer that had planned to move its operations to Mexico before President Trump staged a much-heralded intervention, is gearing up for a final round of layoffs.
Less than four months after it laid off nearly 340 employees at its Indianapolis factory, Carrier said Tuesday that 215 employees will be terminated on Jan. 11.
The company originally had planned those layoffs for late December, but delayed the move until January. The number of layoffs is slightly lower than the 275 employees who initially would have been impacted – the company said fewer workers were affected because of voluntary attrition.
Employees at the Indianapolis plant reportedly do not feel they have job security.
"They just don't have any faith in this plant staying in Indianapolis," Robert James, the president of a union that represents plant workers, told The Indianapolis Star.
Shortly after Trump’s election, Carrier announced that it had reached a deal with the then president-elect to keep approximately 1,070 jobs in Indianapolis for 10 years in exchange for up to $7 million in various incentives.
The highly publicized deal, which protected about 730 manufacturing jobs, abruptly reversed the plan Carrier announced in February 2016 to move its factory to Mexico and eliminate nearly 1,400 jobs.
Although Carrier employees appeared elated in widely circulated photographs after Trump struck the deal with the company, the mood in Indianapolis has apparently soured as layoffs continue.
“Trump came in there to the factory last December and blew smoke up our a---s,” Brenda Darlene Battle, a longtime Carrier employee, told The New Yorker. “He wasn’t gonna save those jobs.”
