    Trump in Davos: "The United States is in the midst of an economic boom - the likes of which the world has never seen before."

    Well, which one is it? The greatest economic boom ever, or an economy held back by the Fed?

    In any case, I am sure the other world leaders were chuckling when they listened to Trump's unfounded boasting. Under Obama, he would have called 2% GDP growth pathetic. Now, it is the best ever....

    The FEDS zero or sub 1% monetary policy has kept the economy afloat for ten years.

    Once again Trump has to blame others even though he has been given carte blanche for any of his executive orders.

    Republicans keep ignoring the growing debt. That is not going to disappear with Trump unless he is willing to make spending concessions. He cut taxes and increased spending, he has simply pushed responsibility down the road.

    Just wait, should Warren or Sanders be elected (or any Democrat), watch the national debt all of a sudden become number one priority again for the GOP.

    And, Mexico would have paid for The Wall...if they hadn't refused. Not to forget, that if it hadn't been for Kim, North Korea would have agreed to denuclearization.

    Deficit too. Can't wait to see the sudden cries for 'fiscal balance'. I wonder where all the Tea Party folks are right now?
