That uptick was a recovery from a recession. The surge now is entirely optimism from Trump and his agenda. Remember, according to most experts the liberal media was parading in front of American living rooms just before and on the day of the election, we were heading back into a recession, especially if Trump wins.

Notice how the media doesn’t ever play back those predictions now, huh?

Unfortunately, we are at the tail end of an extensive economic boom. The economy cycles and there is not a whole lot the President can do about it.

But I do give Trump credit for being unashamed about being pro-American prosperity. Obama always seemed embarassed about declaring American greatness. I guess it is part of the self-guilt liberal mentality.

Former President Barack Obama never stopped blaming his predecessor for a recovery that never arrived because Obama could not stop sabotaging it with his anti-growth policies and anti-free market rhetoric. Even lying conspiracy theorists in the media and Democrat Party have not stopped Trump from keeping his eye on the economic ball. And the payoff for the average American has been beneficial in ways that just a year ago the media said would be impossible under a President Trump.

Click each link if you want details. They are from various news sources.

Latino Unemployment Hits Record Low

Black Unemployment Rate Hits 17-Year Low

Real Economic Growth

Soaring Economic Optimism

Booming Stock Market

Unemployment Rate Hits 17-Year Low

Manufacturing Jobs Boom


1....2......3


Somebody is about to claim Obama gets all of the credit for all of these items with Trump getting none.

I agree Trump's strength is economic issues.

The problem is Trump has spent much of his time in office unnecessarily undermining his achievements by doing things that undermine his credibility. The tweets, the fights with numerous individuals including other GOP, the constant turnover of staff surrounding him and public spats with them, etc. He gives the biased MSM endless ammunition. And it shields the MSM in trying to say they are just reporting what Trump is doing and says and not being biased which is a lie but many buy into it.

Things will have to be corrected the hard way. Unfortunately. That's the way the Zionist scum set it up.
I've never seen so many alternative facts in one post before. Which source did you get this from, Breitbart or the local Klan meeting?

Very well said. Extremely accurate, IMO.

Two things about Trump that I do like are that he stands up for our country, and is determined to rebuild our military after years of sequestration cuts.

actually a "recovery" is something that is objectively and quantitatively measured. if you want to talk about your opinion on the economy, you're using the wrong word.

The fact is that we're currently in month 103 of the recovery, whether anyone likes it or not.

at the rate he's going, Trump is going to create another bubble. Just in the past few weeks they've been screwing with the financial regulations, increasing the amount of funds that can be transferred in overnight markets.


and here's the basic issue at hand : if people don't even know what the overnight markets are and what they do, much less that their regulations have changed, or what any of that means , how are they going to judge the economic performance of the president?

most people have no idea how the financial system works, they just focus on a grab bag of whichever 2 or 3 charts and measures that support their political narrative.

Theres a whole lot more than 7 things our media is hiding from us!!

You all should do some reading on 'black-out topics' relating to mainstream media, its very interesting!

They had a major part in keeping the UFO thing a secret for decades, or at least downplaying the seriousness of it, at the bequest of their political masters nonetheless...if they did this with one thing, its very likely they are doing the exact same with many other topics too.
