who said anything about house and senate?


I didn't say anything about that. but since you brought it up, there has never been a president in recent memory that has dealt with the level of disrespect and opposition from within his own party... yet Trump has been pretty successful in the face of that withering opposition.

Thankfully we have Trump now bringing us job growth. YUGELY.
The job growth is SMALLER now than it has been in years.

The GOP HATES Trump. Remember the "meeting" the GOP leadership had during the Primary freaking out of Trump should win?

Jobs created by Trump also aren't those like collecting grocery carts at Walmart.

When close to max. employment job growth slows. Not unreasonable to think that might happen.

US adds 138K jobs in May as jobless rate falls | Fox Business

“Today’s jobs report reflects that the labor market is tightening, and there’s not as much room for slack as the economy reaches full employment….it’s tough to continue to add 200,000 jobs each month with our unemployment rate below 5%,” said Steve Rick, chief economist at CUNA Mutual Group.

There is really nothing to indicate that, considering the average increase in hourly wages during Trump's first full six months in office (Feb-Aug) is the exact same as the increase during the same time period last year.

Then there was Ohio & West Virginia.
So why doesn't he speak in New York or California? Is he afraid of the boos he will get? And why did flat out lie and say he got an adoring fan call from the Boy Scouts? The head of the Boy Scouts actually had to apologize for that atrocious speech of his. You have some selective memory, Kitty.

Trump still winning.

People love him for it. He still fill venues beyond capacity everywhere he decides to hold rallies. This in especially important battleground states.

#MAGA.

Yeah, right.

"tRump is the most presidential EVER!"

He IS very entertaining, though.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
