But it's not included in these charts. It's the only way the leftists can make them look bad.
Exactly!

Trump is doing exactly what the rich want him to do and exactly what the cultists who support him also want to see - the wrecking of the America economy. The only difference is that the rich walk away, pockets full of loot, while the sods who are still dull enough to support Trump are going to learn the hard way that the King in Orange isn't just sticking it to people they hate. Idiots.

You must not be paying for college. College has doubled in cost in past 20 years.

Tell that to the farmers.

Which has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with the recovery that has been underway since 2010 or so. You know, the one Trump lied about during his campaign and claimed never happened, and the same one he's now stealing credit for having somehow created 8 years ago.

Name ONE policy that Trump has enacted that has specifically helped black employment rates. And, no - laughable "Trumponomics" like "Duh, trade wars are good for 'mericah!" don't count. I'll wait...

*crickets*

That's what I thought. Quit giving credit to your toddler God-Emperor for events that were set in motion 8 years ago and which are utterly beyond his tiny comprehension anyway. He's played the lot of you, and not one of you would trust him with your wallet or daughter anyway.

Those who cry last cry hardest.


Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of this reality show.


It promises to be epic.

Says right at the bottom.

Real profits are determined using gross profits.

"Most Americans’ Wages Have Actually Declined Over the Past Year"

"And on Tuesday, the big picture on Americans’ paychecks grew even darker: In May, U.S. inflation accelerated to its fastest pace in more than six years — and wiped out what little wage growth the typical American worker had seen over the past 12 months in the process."

Trickle Down is a scam. It has never delivered on its promises. Money injected at the top stays at the top.

Trumponomics: making the rich richer while the middle class goes nowhere. Face it Trumpsters: you were conned by a con man. He's no friend of ordinary Americans. All he cares about is himself and his rich Russian cronies.
More to show that "tinkle down" economics was a bunch of BS.

Everyone is reaping the riches of Trump's tax cut. Look at this secretary for example!

Am I the only one tired of people tying the entire economy to one man? I thought this was a mostly capitalist, somewhat crony capitalist, little bit socialist, system where the economy is not dictated by one man... unlike a truly socialist/communist state.
