    that article is referring to this report, which has show Trump's approval rating climbing....after his policies are actually put in place...

    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-ta...ld-see-the-u-s-and-donald-trump-in-10-charts/

    again, I'm not at all surprised to see Mexicans, and Germanys not happy with Trump, since he has called them out for taking advantage of America over the years.

    "Called them out"? No, more like using them as punchlines.

    *LOL*

    Yes, they're very happy with his "policies" (which ones?) as they've become "enacted" (Huh?).

    Nope, they are actual facts...like
    • Is the first major tax reform signed in 30 years.

    • Provided tax relief for 82% of middle-class families.

    • Doubled the Child Tax Credit proving an additional $1,000 per child in tax relief for working parents.

    • Nearly doubled the standard deduction, a change that simplified the tax filing process for millions of Americans.

    I already have. But you haven't.

    Besides, it's your assertion. You back it up.

    As soon as I read your lie about the economy being pulled up because of the policies of double digit unemployment Obama, I stopped reading...clearly, you are in an alt-reality.

    Fact check: How Trump's economy compares to Obama's
    https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/18/politics/trump-v-obama-economy-fact-check/index.html

    Economic recovery under Obama
    Responding to Obama's claim that the Recovery Act passed under his administration set the country on a path to economic success, Trump claimed Obama actually had "the weakest recovery since the Great Depression."
    Facts First: If you look solely at the average rate of GDP growth, it's true that that the economy recovered more slowly after the Great Recession than during previous rebounds. But growth hasn't been exceptionally better under Trump.
    Annualized GDP growth averaged about 2% after it bottomed out in 2009 through the end of Obama's term. That's far below the typical growth in rosy times of over 4% a year that the US has experienced since World War II.
    Growth has ticked up slightly under Trump, to 2.5% during his first three years. That's well below the 4% Trump had promised but a bit better than the 2.4% average growth rate during the last three years of Obama's time in office.
    Help from the Federal Reserve
    With his comments about the "Fed Rate" being zero under Obama and up since his tenure, Trump is arguing that Obama got more help from the Federal Reserve in boosting the economy.
    Facts first: It's true that Fed policies helped the economy recover from the Great Recession under Obama, and while its key interest rate is higher now than it ever was under the previous president-- it was cut last year for the first time since 2008.
    The Fed kept the federal funds rate, its key interest rate, near zero during Obama's two terms and purchased trillions of dollars in bonds, a policy known as quantitative easing -- a tool the Fed used to help juice the economy from 2009 through 2014.
    It didn't start to raise rates again until December 2015 and then for a second time in a decade in December 2016 -- at the end of Obama's second term. It continued to raise the rate after Trump took office, increasing it seven times -- until July 2019. Since then, the Fed has cut the rate three separate times. Currently, it's at about 1.55%.
    Jobs
    Trump claimed the US now has the "best jobs numbers ever."
    Facts First: While the more than 6.6 million jobs created under the Trump administration thus far is commendable, it is not unique.
    A gain of more than 6.6 million jobs during a 35-month period has been common during the 80 years that the Labor Department has counted jobs. More jobs were created in the 31 final full months of Obama's presidency (6.91 million) than during the 31 first full months of Trump's presidency (5.85 million).
    The average monthly gain so far under Trump is 182,000 jobs. But during a comparable 36-month period at the end of Obama's tenure, employers added 8.1 million jobs, or 23% more than what has been added since Trump took office, for an average monthly gain of 224,000 jobs.
    It's true that the job record under Trump so far is better than the job record during Obama's first 35 months in office, but Obama inherited an economy in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. In comparison, Trump took office with a string of 76 straight months of job gains. Job creation under the Trump administration is a continuation of an improving job market, not the turnaround that occurred in the early years of the Obama administration.

    No surprise, you're in denial of facts. That's just sad for this country that there's so many just like you. It's our downfall.

    Once again, you're desperately trying to give golfing, loafing, tweeting Bonespurs J. Halfwit "credit" for something that he had nothing to do with:

    How am I giving Trump credit for the double digit UE created under the Obama regime?

    From your article: "Presidents are one small piece of the public-policy picture — and public policy as a whole is only a small part of what shapes and moves a complex modern economy."

    So true.....two years of GOP Congress, before Trump won has a lot to do with where we are now, likewise, two years of Dem Congress, prior to Obama winning, had a lot to do with his double digit UE

    Uh, that's what you're getting out of an article that concludes that Presidents have little to do with the economy?

    If you truly believe that mish-mash of claims, cite to a source supporting those claims. PRONTO!

    That’s what the article said, I quoted it read past the headline.

    You need me to source that the dems had congress for two years prior to Obama and the gop did before trump won?

    I've read that particular article numerous times. And I've linked to it dozens of times.

    The article says nothing like you've claimed. It's just not there. Perhaps if you want to make such claims, you could just quote from a piece?

    Moreover, to the extent that you're fabricating the claim that Congress somehow "controls" the economy, which claim was not reflected in the article as you claimed, find a source which supports that pap.

    I literally copy and pasted the quote...I put quote marks around the quote....read it again slower.

    I never said Congress controls the economy, but as your article highlights, there are many pieces to it...the President, Congress, public policy etc.

    I gave you an explanation to every single lie on Trump's campaign contribution page. Every one is a bold-faced lie that you bought. That's very sad, you aren't even thinking clearly anymore if you can't separate fact from Trump's lies.

    No you didn't....you post a meme, which had Dem talking points on each topics, if you were to have clicked on the topics, they breakdown, facts and legislation that show he has keep his promises.

    It sounds like you don't even know what the meme you posted shows. I provided you the website, click on the links....they highlight facts.

    WTF? I didn't post a 'meme'. I personally addressed each of Trump's bogus, false claims on his reelection website. It's up to you to prove me wrong on ever single thing I rebutted your talking points with. Do that.

    Perhaps you need to look up the definition of 'meme'. That wasn't one. You gave me the link to Trump's reelection campaign lies. I simply addressed each item for you specifically.
