BY THE NUMBERS: President Trump's Historic First 200 Days - Promises Kept and Records Broken

Trump still winning.

People love him for it. He still fill venues beyond capacity everywhere he decides to hold rallies. This in especially important battleground states.

#MAGA.


Wow. I know you are protected by the MOD to be able to say anything and get away with it; but this kind of straight up fake news is still amazing to see.

So basically what you are arguing is Obama took this country from a massive recession when he took office, and left office at close to max employment...

So Obama took this country from a deep recession to near max employment.... and that is very bad??!!!

That economy? Obama's war on the middle class and small business cost them everything.

It speaks for itself. The Obama economy was broken. Trump has turned it around in the last 200 days.
Trump has done, quite literally, nothing on the economy. He is operating from an Obama budget. His regulatory changes have not taken effect yet. And he has signed no major legislation. He is coasting on the Obama recovery, which was slow and steady.

Thank You President Trump! More Than 1 Million New Jobs Created During Trump's First 6 Months in Office

Don't you agree?

(1st 6 months of Obama brought us a stock market crash, 10s of millions of jobs outsourced, millions tossed out of their homes by the banksters who bankrolled Obama)
Obama took us from the Great Recession to near-full employment. That is success on jobs & the economy.

It's funny how the goalposts change for Republicans when they are not in the White House: funny in a Newspeak way.

Ah, yes... Trump shills who clearly don't understand the definition of "winning." :-)

By any rational standard, this administration got off to a really crappy start.

You do realize that the crash of 2008 was prior to Obama's taking office, right?

What Obama had to do to get past an obstructionist Congress is ten times harder than what Trump has to deal with. Three Republican senators went against his health care bill and THAT is too difficult for him??? He's playing Candyland and still can't win the game!

Obama is not the president.

Donald Trump is our President.
