I don't remember -- but look it is a 13 month trend. Trump is able to keep an Obama trend going again -- this is so impressive.

Impressed or not, you know as well as everyone else the left predicted everything was going to hell in just a couple of months. The stock market would crash, unemployment would reverse and grow, the U.S. economy would to into a tail spin. None of this has happened.

That is not what I've read. Many sources say that international travel is down because Trump has made tourists feel unwelcome, with good reason.

Wonder what the true tale is.

On one hand we read that everything is going great guns, couldn't be better. Stock market is on a roll.

Then read the number of new jobs is slowing done, month by month. Car sales are down the last six months. ...

Not sure what to believe.

But then, that was the whole point of the "disinformation" campaign, wasn't it?

Correct.

Statistics show that the economy has been doing quite well now for about 4-5 years. It's been on the upward tick and we've been out of the recession Bush put us into for a while now as well.

Donald Trump has not passed ANY legislation that affects the economy whatsoever. Literally, not a thing. Obama handed over a very healthy economy to Trump, and it's still going strong.

Do Trump supporters truly believe that 5 months of Trump is why the economy is doing well? Or do they just hate having to acknowledge that Barack Obama spent 8 years cleaning up after Bush, and it's because of Him, Barack Hussein Obama, that America's economy is so healthy?

Tell that to the rabid liberals who were screaming the stock market would crash and burn, peoples IRAs would be worthless, the economy would be so bad that the Great Depression would look like a walk in the park within a few weeks of Trump being elected.

His theory, from what his usual campers are saying, is that people are too uncertain about the future. They don't know if they're going to lose their health insurance, they don't know what's going to happen.

These are people who come from all over the country, not locals. He said people are hesitant until they know 2hat's going to happen. Of course, if health insurance is yanked away, people won't be spending money on vacations. Not the middle class. These cuts will kill the middle class and help the rich.
Except the OP said international tourism. Unless they are Canadians or Mexicans they aren't coming in RVs.

It's doing well on the expectation that tax reform will happen and regulations will be limited and/or removed.
