It didn't stop until the 2010 Mid-terms put the brakes on it.
Obama gave Trump a jar he couldn't get the lid off.
Trump popped the lid off with ease.
Then Obama yells, " I loosened it for you"

That's the narrative in your head . We've established you have a unique perspective on life with little grounded on the facts.

See again -- what's in your HEAD -- isn't real life.

Other than the stock market -- none of the other economic indicators 'popped' with Trump

NONE.

They all are consistent with the growth of the previous 6 years or not as good.

I'm sure that's supposed to mean something, but I have no idea what it is.



We have come to that conclusion too..... but you insist on debating like you know it all.
Congress holds the purse. Not the President. Pelosi being speaker, she would have been the one calling for a floor vote(control)

Obama 2016: Those jobs are gone and are never coming back!
after 2 years of Trump...
Obama 2018: My policies brought those jobs back!

Trump deports a real (not liberal fantasy) Nazi, Obama asks why he doesn't reject Nazis more? How many Nazis did Obama get rid of?

Much credit is given to Trump for his business success. Some of it has bee in real estate development but most of his success is branding. He has had terrible failures with casinos, private schools, etc......He hasn't been successful everywhere.

Let's take his most successful venture -- his brand. If we look at some of the most successful branding business people we can see clearly that being a great phenomenal business person in that area doesn't equate to being able to have the skills necessary for making decisions for the country.

Kris Jenner had turned the Kardashians into a multi-million dollar success story with branding. All branding.

I don't want her make decision at the federal, state or municipal level.

She's phenomenal at her business.

Trump's business is branding his name for luxury resort -- hotel/golf. That's his biggest success. That doesn't mean he can figure out how to stimulate the economy in small town USA.

And yes the economy is doing well NOW but the areas where there were no jobs or there were issues -- there still are. Coal is still coal. Steel has seen minor improvements at the expense of losing businesses in other areas (minor improvement in some steel industries because of tariffs but we all pay that price).

Trump doesn't have the finesse required to understand the complexities of helping out one industry without taking down another. Trump won't look at the net effect of his policies. He'll see that one steel plant hiring 300 people -- while 3 other businesses close that employed 500 people.

That's a problem.



As opposed to a community organizer and obscure, one term senator with a penchant for voting "present" ?
