And if you had had that guy for the last 8 years you would have made even more -- lol.

The percentage increase in the first 8 months of this year is similar to the percentage increase in the first 8 months of last year.

The stock market has been basically going up March of 2009.

3. Jobs - 1,087,000 in his last 6 months in office

4. Unemployment - Steadily lowered throughout Obama's presidency and has continued the exact same trend since Trump became president.

5. Inflation - This has been trending down since the 1970's, believe it or not.

6. Housing Sales - Was unable to find this information.

7. Regulations - Doesn't really mean anything......

8. Manufacturing - Has been trending upwards at the same pace since 2000, besides the recession.

9. Federal Reserve - Again, Obama was not great with money.

10. Illegal Immigration - This is just a policy difference for D's vs R's. Democrats are much more lax on their points of views of illegal immigration.

11. NATO - One of the few things Trump has done well.

12. Supreme Court - Trump obviously did nom Gorsuch, but any democrat (with the house being dem) would have passed it too if they were in that position.

13. Executive Orders - Executive orders are only done if they can't go through congress to get something passed, or want to pass it in a rush. Not really an accomplishment to have a ton of these.


Just my views and some facts on the Obama and Trump administrations.

Trump isn't "winning" as much as he wants you to believe.
You can thank/blame the GOP Congress for most of that... Obama didn't really achieve much... the GOP stopped him at every turn... Trump on the otherhand....

Talk to me about the debt after he proposes an actual t budget. Do you think the troop surge it's going to be free, he wants to shut down the govt over increasing the debt ceiling for the wall, cant wait to see what all these fiscal conservatives have to say about it.

We have no budget, no tax reform, the infrastructure expenditure is still in the conceptual stage.

Once all these things become more than pipe dreams we can talk about how Trump has had an impact on the economy.

For now - business as usual.

It will all be the fault of the left. No doubt. Even though we have no actual power. What a cluster ****.

You are correct but I will give Obama credit for writing his name on Republican bills passed by the Republican Congress since 2010

I legitimately think that there's a segment of the population who are simply unable to see that this man is not suited for the office.

It's not even his "politics" at all. It is HIM.

It's like those Japanese soldiers who hid out in an island jungle and didn't know the war was over, for 40 years.
I noticed you didn't refute any of the OP's list of Trump's accomplishments. Shall we call it, denial of reality?

It is timely to try and refute each item.

I know -- i chose one. And it is useless. Most don't want to debate facts, they want to spit out emotionally charged insultats at each other.
