    I agree. If the objective is to disintegrate American society and cause division and violence. Trump is a master of divisive politics.

    Lol, that is like a little league participation trophy. "Nuh uh, he hit 3% 3 times out of 32." Obama's economic policy was barely better than his foreign policy which was basically a double dumpster fire.

    He hasn't attempted to kill economic growth which is better than Obama.

    Neither did Obama. He just signed executive orders and had his bureaucrats write policy. It's easy to undo without legislation.

    Great job not addressing anything to do with the factual statements in my post. Did or did not, Rosa Parks, the GDP reach over 5% quarterly during Obama's tenure?

    Okay? That's still higher than Trump's predicted 3.8% quarterly, which is what we're discussing.

    I could but, since this thread is based in nonsense 1) the claim that Obama never achieved 3.8% is false and 2) the idea that a President can have a major effect on the economy in 7 months is preposterous ignorance, it would not be appropriate.

    Quarters are nancy pants stuff for little girls. Real men play for annual stakes, for which Obama comes up stunningly poor. A miserly 1%er. It might be an interesting discussion to decide if that is as well as his intellect allowed.

    Trump already admitted on the campaign trail - MANY TIMES - that the equity markets are a massive bubble and the U-3 rate is a joke (and he was dead right). So they mean nothing if you are a fan of Trump.
    And a 'booming' economy requires a 'booming' GDP growth rate. The GDP growth rate since Trump took office is only 1.9% (your projection is just a guesstimate...anyone can do that - it means nothing). 1.9% is NOT 'booming'.
    The economy is FAR from booming.

    Answer me this please...how can the economy be 'booming' when over the last three months, full-time employment has actually gone DOWN by 66,000?

    Good point. He managed three.seven three times, missed it five times. Have we ever had a President who failed even hit three percent one time in an entire Presidency?

    Waste spending is being trashed. No more cash for clunkers, free phones, illegal aliens, gang members, open borders, etc.

    He hasn't attempted to do much of anything. Except of course his efforts to produce divots.

    Divots in federal regulations, have led to divots in unemployment. Divots in illegal immigration are paying dividends too. Divots in trade deficits, divots in export restrictions, divots bureaucracy. He's got one hell of a golf swing. Check the NYSE ...

    The stock exchange was booming before Trump and will continue until it doesn't. Trump has done absolutly nothing to improve the economy.

    Sure. Keep those blinders on. Trumps deregulation has powered the energy sectors gains. It's put us firmly on the path to energy independence. We're exporting gas, oil, and coal again. Mining Co.s in W. Virginia, and Pennsylvania are opening new mining facilities to meet export demands. Winning.

    Looks like another random thought bouncing in your head seemed like a good idea at the time. And then you decided to share with everyone else, lol
