Remember the 6% GDP growth promises?
We have GDP under 2% growth.
FAIL....EPIC FAIL

Just hard to manage all this winning.
It's almost like some of us saw this coming. "Some of us" being every real economic expert and those of us who bothered listening to them.
The whole ignorance of economics and the fact that we are mainly a service economy now. 1950's mercantalism is how I saw it described.
We have growth, the rest of the world is in heading towards recession. Figure it out. We at least have positive interest rates. Europe is paying banks to take money to loan. That is putting a damper on our economy. Why do you think Trump has been bitching about the Fed, the spread was too big for too long.
You damn Trump haters have no idea how much damage the Democratic party has done to this country. We finally have a President who was willing to stand up to China, and you cut him off at the balls.
Oh yeah, why do you think our European allies hate Trump so much? Because 50-60% of their GDP is tied to manufacturing exports. It is something like 12% in the USA. So, when you hear criticism from Germany, France, and others, it is because China is hurting and not buying their shit.

Nailed it. His is the correct answer. Trade leads to manufacturing which leads to jobs. The US is only 10% manufacturing vs 25% in Germany and most other countries. Most countries are hurting right now and the US consumer is driving global markets.
Horsebleep. Total. Horsebleep. You act like there were no Republicans in power ever before 2016
It is kind of amazing we are sitting at 2% growth with how incompetently Trump has handled trade.
I'll say this....it's actually fairly impressive that we have 2% growth and that the markets are where they are with Trump's reckless use of Twitter & tariffs and foreign policy.
No, you are low.

So tariffs was never a republican kind of thing...
GOP fractures over Trump’s tariffs
The divide risks embarrassing the president and his party.

No, I do not remember 6% "promises". That's highly unrealistic because I don't think we've ever had it except maybe 1941
6% would be highly inflationary at full employment like we are. We lack manufacturing because of government regulation driving up the cost of doing business in America and we had a whole generation ( maybe two ) who were told factory work sucked and you needed to be a computer nerd to work in a cubicle doing service work. Reap it libs...
Link to libs telling one, maybe two generations of Americans that factory work sucked and that being a computer nerd working in a cubicle doing service work was the way to go?
So your solution is 19th century stuff...bring back child labor, etc....ignore food safety...good strategy
Do you think the United States would be better off with the labor laws of third world countries?
The working class didn’t leave the factories, CEOs sent their jobs to China.
It blows my mind that people fail to see republicans represent the rich and continue to vote against their own interests.
I have no idea what the point of this thread might be. My president knows more about economies than anyone....
I have been celebrating 2% growth for 8+ years now.....Thank God Trump has been able to keep the economy of Obama moving forward.
The dumb asses never learn that trickle down economics never works. It's been a con by the Republicans since the 1970s. Just another way to comfort those who need it the least while afflicting those who need it the most: https://www.commondreams.org/views/...ublican-party-has-conned-america-thirty-years
Of course you don't remember that from Trump. But everyone else knows he said it. paraphrasing... "We're going to have 4/5/maybe even 6% GDP".
And your President says lots of unrealistic things. And deplorables lap it up with a sponge and a spoon.
Pretty sure the Republicans sent the jobs overseas for cheaper labor. I’m guessing the computer nerd scenario was out of necessity.
6% GDP growth is bad. Hyper inflation. What is a fail is Barry Soereto the Kenyan US POTUS never hitting 3%. Sorry you hate prosperity.
That has nothing to do with economics.
From the recession and financial collapse he inherited from Republicans?
This poster is a prime example of why we’re in this dire situation as a country. People like this don’t care what happens to the country, their one and only concern is stigginit to the libs. Such a vile and despicable collection of individuals.
Well, if you vote for policies that steal from the rich and give to the poor, who will be providing jobs?
