No credible argument can deny this.

The stock market is 25% higher. Unemployment is lower, setting records.

ISIS is done. The troops are coming home. There's constructive dialogue with North Korea.

Gas prices are low.

Not as many major shootings. Not seeing Ferguson-like riots anymore.

Crime is down. Prosperity is up. Blacks and Hispanics are doing extremely well economically.

The sun is brighter. The weather is better. The people are happier. The sky is bluer. Water tastes better.

We're two years closer to the end of tRump's term.

Heck, he may not even run for re-election next year.



Carry on.

What you wrote is all true.

You'll notice the America hating left responds with no facts, just emotion.
Want to drive a leftist crazier?.......give facts........and watch the explosion.
Everything the left does.....fails
The great thing about Mr. Trump being elected?.......the leftists don't know what to do. Like a b.b in a 55 gallon drum being shaken. No direction just accusations.
And when the lies don't work they make up more. They are the enemy within

Much better now than we were. And with 6 additional years, it will be even better.
Snowflakes will disagree though.

It is easy to confuse correlation and causation as the OP has done. Any improvements we have seen have been in spite of Trump not because of him. For example, a paltry increase of 25% in the DOW during a period when corporations and investors were handed over a trillion dollars in taxpayer funded handouts is disappointing at best and abysmal at worst. Why? Trump's tariffs and Trump's policy blunders like TPP. Even this minuscule improvement comes at the cost of divisiveness, open displays of hatred, and a loss of national unity. Truly, we would be far better off had democracy determined the results of the last election and we had a president who did not bring shame and embarrassment to our country even if we disagreed on policy.

So, tell me, why do you vote for politicians who allow for lobbying? Who allow for corporate lawyers to write their own tax laws? Why do you go to CVS to get your prescriptions, why do you pay for health insurance? Why do you put gasoline in your car? Why do you wear Nike shoes? Why do you watch MSNBC?

Don't you know that by typing this sentence I am supporting advertisers who are collecting data on me to sell to a credit card company that will in turn lobby to save billions by avoiding some tax law and parking my money overseas somewhere?

Regardless of whether the president is Trump, Obama, Clinton, or any other name, the corporations run this country and cash is king. If you want real change, find me a politician who isn't corrupt and can't be bought, and let's vote him/her into office and get the laws changed to back in favor to the little person.

We don't have much choice in that. Bernie is the closest thing to a real iconoclast who would take on the corporate swamp, but they are way out in front of him smearing him on all the conservative outlets that the people who would be better off under his policies look to for political guidance. The situation is basically hopeless.
