You can hate President Trump all you want, but he will just continue to distract the left with rhetoric while he keeps on winning.IP: Logged |

Its not a matter of hating and winning depends where you look and what you value. The fact is the big quarter is not historic, is not even better than several of Obamas quarters, and Obama did break 2% in several years. In fact so far he had three years better than DT's first and the pretense is indicative of people who can't give credit where due. Not that the president or even the national economy are entirely responsible for GDP. What opposition pundits say is projection and not relevant. At this point the "winning" is more like "not losing".. tho if you like petty, this year is actually down from 2015 and only better than Obama's worst figures. IP: Logged |

The Marxist Messiah Obama caused America to "Hope For Change". Trump is delivering that "Change".GDP boom: It sure looks like Trumponomics is doing what Obamanomics couldn’t
Post Editorial Board
July 27, 2018 Friday’s excellent economic news — 4.1 percent yearly Gross Domestic Product growth in the second quarter — poses an immediate question: Will it keep up? If so, then Team Trump has decisively debunked the critics who pooh-poohed its vow to bring average GDP growth above 3 percent. It also exposes as utterly false Obama-era claims that the US economy had fundamentally changed, and that we’d all have to get used to a “new normal” of growth averaging just 2 percent. US economy surges in second quarter, grows at 4.1 percent rate
The difference is huge: Already, the Trump boom has the unemployment rate at historic lows, including for blacks and Hispanics. And the tight labor markets are pushing up wages and pulling people who’d given up hope back into the workforce, two enormously positive developments. As for keeping it up: Critics claim these GDP numbers are just a temporary jolt from last year’s tax cuts, but in fact the cuts should bring a sustained growth in business investment on the order of 10 percent — and that means sustained, broad expansion. President Trump’s deregulation drive is another marked economic plus over the Obama years, as well as another reason why the “new normal” was never truly inevitable — and why 3 percent-plus growth can continue even as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates and slowly unwinds its other desperation measures of the last presidency................ Bottom line: So far, at least, Trump’s doing a better job of delivering on “Make America Great Again” than his predecessor ever did on the “Hope and Change” front.

Depends how you look at it. He is not bringing it back from a trough. That was done for him. And "historic" depends on context.

President Trump doubled the dismal GDP that Obama's Marxist policies left him with. That's what happens when you eliminate heavy regulation and unleash trillions in taxes and repatriation.IP: Logged |

Doubled?..i dont think so. From earlier in this very thread you can see that trump's only full year so far doesn't double even Obama's worst years:10. 2.5%
'11. 1.6%'
12. 2.2%'
13. 1.7%
'14. 2.6%
'15. 2.9%
'16. 1.5%
'17. 2.3% To download the statistic, please switch to the chart view.
http://www.statista.com/statistics/188165/annual-gdp-growth-of-the-united-states -since-1990/#0 Amazingly while you discount O's higher quarters you talk about DTs higher quarters as if they were years. Are you that easily duped, or do you just think the rest of us are? IP: Logged |

What a shock.. the crash created a fall in growth. Before any budget or regulations could be put in place to correct the situation.. after which gee.. it kept going up. Handing DT a forward momentum. A snowball headed in the opposite direction to what Obama inherited. We'll see where he takes it.Really, the first year of any terms gdp growth or fall belongs to the year before. So 2009 was the last of Bush's and 2017 was the last of Obama's. Tho as I've said several times, no president can create an economy all by himself IP: Logged |

No, I fully understand a quarter from a year. But do YOU? Obama is the ONLY President to NEVER reach an annualized GDP of 3%. Annualized = a whole year. President Trump will grow the economy steadily upward over the next 7 years. IP: Logged |

Like life, there are good Repubs and bad ones.
Thank goodness the primary in MI didn`t chose the 2 idiots running on the dons agenda.
I voted pubby but not for the puppet Lt Gov Brian Calley who ran on the dons agenda.
Maybe MI has had a belly full of him  ------------------

To my knowledge, every person President Trump endorsed won (8 out of 8), including Troy in Ohio (only he and his Democrat opponent were on the ballot), although more votes are being counted, and every person Bernie and Cortez endorsed lost.IP: Logged |

Yes, the don "endorsed Schuette" but Schuette didn`t run on the dons agenda . Because I like you don`t mean you like me. The same goes for diddling don and Schuette .  ------------------

That Ohio race is still being counted.. and despite DTs personal efforts the Republican is barely squeezing out the Dem in a solidly Repub district. How is that a victory except by wishful thinking?IP: Logged |

He's a centrist, it was a special election (people don't turn out for them, and it's in August before school starts), the Dems outspent Troy 5-to1, and a loss for the Dems is not a win.IP: Logged |

Do not be deceived by the apparent "closeness" of this special election. Only 100,000 Dems voted, and that District is an affluent and overwhelmingly Republican one, so it will be a slaughter in the mid-terms.IP: Logged |

All those "moral victories" demorats keep crowing about...as they lose race after race...will keep demorats the minority party in November. Yes dems, we understand. You're not really losing, you're "winning".

"Troy"? A personal friend or what? That's his first name right? And the count will not be completed till next week so you're once again claiming a victory that hasn't happened while disregarding facts. At the moment despite Yrump's personal interest, the lead between R and D has shrunk since his election by many points. The race is not conceded -and the victory is not being claimed as moral but tactical. This is a district that barely even looks at the Dem candidate IP: Logged |

I don't think you understand how great the lead will be in that Ohio district with the actual election. Better for you to be surprised anyway. We can expect the Republicans to lose some seats in the House, but not lose control, and Senate seats will be gained.IP: Logged |
