    I suggest you follow your own advice.

    I sincerely hope not all Americans are so narrow as to consider the economy the ONLY thing of value in politics.

    The economy has been improving and unemployment shrinking gradually since 2009, and N Korea didn't fire their nuclear missiles at us anytime during Obama's tenure either. So why do you believe Trump is so special?

    The economy was stagnant under obama and NK was testing missiles. Please, stop the spin.

    Wrong. The Mueller mandate was confined to "Russian collusion" in the election process, with no specific crime designated. Obstruction of justice is a figment of your imagination.

    If Trump was working hand in hand with the Russians to obtain dirt on Hillary, then that is a crime and impeachable. Are you seriously OK with Trump doing that as a candidate if evidence does end up supporting that scenario? Would you still be supportive of a President who is in cahoots with Putin? You may have to face that question for yourself within the next year.

    Yes, the economy was in a slow growth state after the Bush administration took it into the greatest economic disaster since the Great Depression. Why are you so reluctant to give Obama credit where it's due. The man had a disaster thrown on him right in the beginning of his tenure. He didn't cause it, but he did deal with it reasonably well. Give the man credit. Gee. . .:disbelief:

    The Constitution contains no such "while in office" caveat. The President can be impeached for anything that Congress determines is a high crime and/or misdemeanor. Though this is an interesting invention.

    The economy was growing under Obama and continues growing at about the same rate. I'm not crediting him for it, but anyone crediting Trump has failed at basic graph reading.

    I support the tax cut, though I wish it had come with spending cuts. And I think it will have a positive effect. But, no, no major change so far that breaks any preexisting trend lines.

    I agree, it just proves we have a spending problem, not a tax problem.

    Did you go to the link? Did you watch the video? Do you know anything about Trump, he is a fighter. There is going to be a fight and Mueller is going to get a bloody nose.

    The only 4.1% GDP growth we've had under Trump was quarterly growth. We had more than 4.1% quarterly growth under Obama a couple of times. Hell, we even broke 5% one quarter. If you don't remember, you haven't looked.

    I'm sorry you think objective facts are "turds," but if you'd like to rejoin reality, we can talk about facts. We had 4.1% GDP growth for one quarter under Trump. With me so far? Is this another situation where I have to explain to a Trumpeter the difference between a quarter and a year, and then they disappear whey they realize the didn't know what they were talking about? That game is getting old.
