Yeah, the hundreds of thousands working and unable to pay their bills due to no paycheck along with the Coast Guard people whose alleged leadership suggested they could hold garage sales and babysit no doubt think it's ALL milk & honey.

As for Trump's great job creation, a lot of it is down to deregulation and is oil. gas and coal based rather than manufacturing. Indeed manufacturing might well suffer as a result if any trade war, and US consumer prices would also rise.

The Trump jobs era really is different - Quartz

But liberals would rather have hundreds of thousands of South American and Central American illegal aliens pouring across our border... Sucking up all the social services and resources and housing and overcrowding schools and hospitals and cities and towns.. And ultimately turning America into a third world country.. liberals hate America... And they hate our president. Nothing more vile than a bleeding heart liberal.

Shove it White House Press Corp. America IS great again.

"In the eight years of president Obama, the United States lost 219,000 manufacturing jobs; in the two years of Trump, the country has added 477,000 manufacturing jobs. This was not supposed to be possible... "



Manufacturing Jobs have been on steady increase since the end of 2009. There were 2 big declines in manufacturing jobs. The last large decline was during the downturn started before Obama took office and ended during Obama's first year.



In terms of manufacturing jobs "This was not supposed to be possible" was occurring for 7 of the 8 years Obama was in office.

It is the thought that people actually believe this kind of stuff is why we are where we are.

Nonsense!
Many just don't believe a continuous 2,000 wall is the most cost effective way to secure the southern border. Of course conservatives didn't make E-verify mandatory when they had the chance, wouldn't want to upset the donors who hire/profit from cheap illegal labor, eh?

The wall is simply another Trump 'Hey! Look at this!' distraction away from other issues.

A convicted criminal who renounced his Canadian Citizenship so he could receive a Lordship from the U.K.


His nickname in Canada is Lord Tubby of Cross Harbour. That is how much he is loved.

Somehow, you are equating a felon to someone who has no ability to tell the truth. That is flawed logic, after all, look at Trump. He isn't a convicted felon (yet) and he has no ability to tell the truth...…..EVER.


Apples, oranges.

If you are among the rich you gotta love it. However if you are the average American struggling to get by, well, you are getting screwed.

BTW, In Trump's America no one is telling you the real cost. All the freebies Trump has given to big business has to come from somewhere. That somewhere is another $8 trillion tacked on to the national debt. Not to worry, you'll most likely be gone before you would have to pay. Just leave it for your kids and grandkids while you celebrate Trump's America.
