trumps economy? Not so fast spanky... (#3937)

     The one trump talking point that seems to get lost on folks is that his economy is doing so well. Well the economy he inherited from elected President Obama is doing okay, but not as well as when President Obama was in office, https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2019/09/20/trump-has-created-15-million-fewer-jobs-than-obama/#74fed12c27ce. The appointed president trump has only slowed it down but not stopped it. So he naturally takes credit for it because that is what trump does, takes credit from others work while dismissing or transferring blame to others for his own work.
     With the trump trade wars with our trading partners at an impasse for the most part and different parts of our economy taking hits because of it, the future outlook is not rosy. So those who think that trump is creating a great economy are only deluding themselves. Plus the wages have remained low while the trump tax cuts for the wealthy only increased the demoralizing income inequality gap. When most of the profit is going to the wealthiest the rest of us are still scrambling for the leftovers and the prices of things continue to increase.
     So let the facts of trump's economy come out and then let his supporters defend his economy! The harm that he is doing in all other aspects of our society are not buoyed by the false notion that he is somehow an economic genius. If this next election does not defeat trump by one of the greatest margins in our election history I will be shocked and troubled. Especially given the republican penchant for obstructing voting and not protecting our election apparatus. When the most underpaying economy in our history is trump's hole card then he is not worthy nor should he be of being elected or appointed to another term.
