They can't keep their lies straight. Somebody needs to go work on that NPC programming.
Of course Putin is rooting for trump, because Putin knows Trump will bring the US down thereby giving Russia more power.

And now, Putin has gotten exactly what he wanted. Putin knows this, and now he is bragging about it.
With whom?

In terms of absolute size, the US has had the world's largest economy, non-stop, since somewhere in the late 1800's. So that can't be what you're talking about.

The only other #1 in the US economy you could have been referring to was this. Which is what I was referring to.

Yes, really.


So you are responding to me without really knowing what I was talking about, and that is my problem because you are mad?

Let's see here ... your link eventually takes us to the following Bloomberg article:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic..._medium=social

And here is what that Bloomberg article says:
Quote:
The U.S., which reclaimed the No. 1 spot for the first time since 2015, scored especially well in international investment, domestic economy and scientific infrastructure sub-categories while earning below-average marks in public finance and prices.
Guess who was president in 2015? Hint: Some guy whose last name began with an 'O.'

Epic fail on your part.

Also, that same ranking entity put the US at #1 in 2014:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_...coreboard_2014
And #1 in 2013:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_...coreboard_2013

So, 3 times while Obama was president, the US ranked #1 in chucksnee's own rating.

Keep it coming.
America ranks:

31st in life expectancy (and falling) : Central Intelligence Agency

17th in the Human Freedom Index (and falling) : The Cato Institute

15th in reading (and steady) : Program for International Student Assessment

37th in math and science (and falling) : Program for International Student Assessment

7th in literacy (and climbing! I had to find something positive other than the GDP and stock market and how their climb is really benefitting the 1%)

Keep it coming

Your Epic failure to not have the ability to understand what I provided vs. what the OP stated, is absolutely EPIC.....
