    The D party and the R party haven't agreed with your for over 30 yrs. Even donnie himself disagrees with you. That's why some of his companies hire them.
    It's why nothing meaningful to immigration reform has been done for over 30 yrs.

    They must NOT be a burden to society.

    He has signed a prison reform act to give convicts a chance for a new lease on life.


    He launched the Urban Council Act that will invest 100 billion in Black communities to fix them up and bring in business and jobs to their communities?

    Signed a bill allowing the terminally ill to try experimental drugs, not yet approved for sale to give people a chance to live, or at least extend their life?

    But now that we're in the midst of a booming economy — which kicked in after Trump reversed almost all Obama's economic policies — we're supposed to believe that it's Obama who deserves all the credit.

    Yep. That's precisely what Obama and his Amen Chorus in the press want us to believe.

    In his speech in Illinois last Friday, Obama complained that Republicans were taking credit for his work.

    "When you hear how great the economy's doing right now, let's just remember when this recovery started," he said. "I mean, I'm glad it's continued, but … suddenly Republicans are saying it's a miracle."

    This week, White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett wisely set the record straight. At a briefing on Monday, he noted that just about every important economic indicator showed the economy was stalling out in Obama's last year.

    Hassett explained that small business optimism had been on the decline before the November 2016 election. The percentage of businesses saying it's a good time to expand was, too. Business investment was stagnant. All those turned upward starting in 2017. Applications for new businesses are now well above the trend over Obama's entire second term, Hassett noted. And blue-collar jobs are growing faster than any time since the Reagan administration.

    Turnaround on GDP Growth
    There's more. The rate of GDP growth was decelerating in Obama's last year. It went from 2.3% in Q2, to 1.9% in Q3 to 1.8% in Q4 of 2016. Under Trump, GDP growth has averaged 2.9%. It was 4.2% last quarter and might be higher in the current one.

    The stock market also was stuck in neutral the year before the November 2016 elections. The Dow is up by some 45% since then.

    Real median family income didn't budge from August 2015 to November 2016, according to Sentier Research. It's up more than 4% since Trump came into office. Wages are on the upswing.

    The Trump Manufacturing Jobs Boom: 10 Times Obama's Over 21 Months

    The Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, six months into former President Obama’s first term. The economy continued to shed jobs until the following March. Manufacturing was particularly hard hit, with almost 2.3 million manufacturing jobs—some 1 in 6—lost between January 2008 and March 2010.

    As is the case during recoveries, jobs bounced back, with seasonally adjusted nonfarm employment expanding almost 12% from March 2010 until January 2017, when President Obama handed over the presidency to Donald Trump.

    But during the same period, manufacturing employment grew only 7.7% with manufacturing payrolls virtually flat in the last 21 months of the Obama administration.

    We were told it was the new normal.

    At a town hall in June 2016, President Obama famously said that some manufacturing jobs “are just not going to come back.” He went on to mock then-candidate Trump by saying he’d need a “magic wand” to make good on this manufacturing job promises.

    Months later, as the shock of a President-elect Donald Trump was still being absorbed, New York Times columnist and economist Paul Krugman tweeted on November 25, 2016, “Nothing policy can do will bring back those lost jobs. The service sector is the future of work; but nobody wants to hear it.”

    Some context on Obama's comment about manufacturing jobs is required. After having to deal with an obstructionist Repub controlled Congress for almost his entire term, who endlessly harped on budget deficits while sabotaging his efforts to speed the recovery, it must have been hard for Obama to imagine a Repub controlled Congress would vote for a tax cut to incentivize companies to bring manufacturing jobs back AT A COST OF EXPLODING DEFICITS AND DEBT.

    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2018/nov/02/five-charts-about-debt/

    What's laughable is Trumper's ignore Don's "economic miracle" is built on a growing mountain of government debt. Any nitwit can live well, for a time, if they do it by means of reckless spending while lying to the public about the tax cut paying for itself.

    Coast on Obama's wave? Trump would have sunk on Obama 's swamps. Check out these sources, almost all Far Left.

    • How good were the 10.9 million jobs under Obama?
      Money.CNN.com/2016/11/04/news/economy/jobs-under-obama/...
      Nov 03, 2016 · CNNMoney breaks down what kinds of jobs have been created and ... Almost all of the job gains under President Obama have been in so-called service jobs,

    The deep recession wiped out primarily high-wage and middle-wage jobs. Yet the strongest employment growth during the sluggish recovery has been in low-wage work, at places like strip malls and fast-food restaurants.

    In essence, the poor economy has replaced good jobs with bad ones. That is the conclusion of a new report from the National Employment Law Project, a research and advocacy group, analyzing employment trends four years into the recovery.

    “Fast food is driving the bulk of the job growth at the low end — the job gains there are absolutely phenomenal,” said Michael Evangelist, the report’s author. “If this is the reality — if these jobs are here to stay and are going to be making up a considerable part of the economy — the question is, how do we make them better?”

    The report shows that total employment has finally surpassed its pre-recession level. “The good news is we’re back to zero,” Mr. Evangelist said.

    But job losses and gains have been skewed. Higher-wage industries — like accounting and legal work — shed 3.6 million positions during the recession and have added only 2.6 million positions during the recovery. But lower-wage industries lost two million jobs, then added 3.8 million.
    HTTPS://www.nytimes.com/…/recovery-has-created-far-more-low…

    77 percent of 2013 jobs were part-time positions ...

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/2/part-timer-nation...
    Aug 02, 2013 · Fully 77 percent of positions added to the market in 2013 have been part-time, in contrast to the positive economic news making the media rounds, according to payroll reports released in recent weeks.

    "There are now 1.2 million fewer jobs in mid- and higher-wage industries than there were before the Great Recession, according to data from the National Employment Law Project. In contrast, there are 2.3 million more jobs in lower-wage sectors than before the recession," according to CNBC. Nor is there the hoped-for renaissance in American manufacturing. We have some 300,000 fewer manufacturing jobs since President Barack Obama took office and 1.5 million jobs below the pre-recession level.

    Sure was, so you have to wonder why now he's trying to take credit for oil independence and low prices. He had nothing to do with it.

    Ty, that works, but do you really think CNN is a credible source?

    Everyone knows CNN can't handle the truth.

    "Former CIA and FBI official Phil Mudd (now a CNN counterterror analyst) debates CNN in-house Trump supporter Paris Dennard about the revocation of John Brennan's security clearance. When Dennard suggested that it is an open secret in D.C. that people who have high-level security clearance get higher-paying consulting jobs (fact check: true), Mudd yelled so loudly that he caused the microphone to reverberate and crackle.

    The epic confrontation took place on Friday's Anderson Cooper 360 (with substitute host Jim Sciutto).

    "Everybody in Washington, D.C. knows -- if you don't want to be honest about it, that's on you, but if you have a security clearance and you keep it, you get more money," Dennard said after Mudd asked: "Who are you talking about? Are you talking General Hayden?"

    I am so glad someone finally made a thread of Trump's successes. Obviously the Liberals know nothing of it CNN or MSNBC sure aren't telling you. They brag at how Obama created 11-12 million jobs, but say nothing about the kind of jobs he had under his policies. It also give a chance to show how bad Obama 8 years were. Obviously CNN and MSNBC didn't tell you that either. This didn't even get into the disaster Obama did fighting ISIS or how he is hated in the Middle East. His only accomplishment there was to give the go ahead of attacking ben Laden's home and killing him. Trump has done an exceptional job in just two years with the Left giving him nothing and even fighting some of his own Party. All the while having to fight this illegal investigation against him.
