Did you catch his parkinsons imitation? Or how bout that weather map with the magic marker trying to pretend he really didn't make a mistake, or any of the dozens and dozens of amazingly stupid things Trump does right there in front of everyone. then his followers defend him rabidly, you know, the storm really was going that way, but the deep state changed it.

Based on this chart, among many other things (not just the Dow):

Chart: Wage Growth by Income Level

And, yeah, people, including minorities, are recognizing how Trump is actually helping them unlike the #Do-Nothing Dems who promise minorities the world and delivery only dependency on the government.
The unemployment numbers for minorities and everyone else have been decreasing for a decade but when it continues under Trump its supposed to be his care and consideration for blacks.

The unemployment level for minorities hit a record low due to Trump's policies. You're welcome!

Talk is cheap. This man disagrees with you, 100%. He said they didn't have jobs under Obama.

Yes it did, like I stated is it has been decreasing for a decade but its not like Trump instituted some program targeting blacks.


Around 80% of black voters think Trump is a racist yet Scott thinks he is going to increase his numbers.

Your 401K/IRA is not the economy, either, but at least you recognize that.

Things are improving up here in MI, too. But really just a continuation of the trend that pre-dates Trump, so I have a hard time crediting him with anything more than not mucking it up.

Unemployment is very low, which is good. LFPR is not great - which is unsurprising given the age of the Baby Boomers - and that's not good. Interest rates are rock bottom and that's not the hallmark of a roaring economy. Wages have grown by a small amount recently but the wealth gap continues to expand.

This is, by any reasonable account a good, not great (and far from the best in history) economy, currently.

Thanks for your service, Devil Dog.

Oh, some random guy on Twitter said so?

Well, I'm convinced! I'll just go ahead and ignore all the... you know..... data.
