How can that be when ALL the Dems voted against this? Every Dem voted against Trump's economy.

The 4.1% was juiced by exporters shipping their products early to get ahead of retaliatory tariffs.

There is no indication that production is up, new factories built, more shifts added, ... zip.

Difficult to see how this will be sustainable.

Listen to entire video.


1) GDP at 4.1% and sustainable
2) Added over 3 million jobs since the election
3) Lowest African American unemployment rate in history
4) Lowest Hispanic unemployment rate ever in history
5) Lowest Asian unemployment rate ever
6) Women unemployment rate lowest in 65 years
7) 3.5 million Americans OFF food stamps
8) Trade deficits down $50 billion dollars
9) Exports up 20%
10) First time net exporter of natural gas
11) $300 billion in corporate profits repatriated to the US since tax cuts at beginning of 2018 (over a trillion expected to be repatriated)
12) 400,000 new manufacturing jobs
Trump has been in office for just over 18 months (17 months of job reports). During that time period 3.22 million jobs have been added. That is solid growth, however at a slower pace than prior to him taking office.
During Obama's last 17 months in office, 3.54 million jobs were added

There is a reason that both of them seem to be job creators ... Fewer Baby Boomers Working = More Job Openings.

Government does not create jobs, the people do. However, POTUS will be given credit where credit is not due, because it sounds good.
