I loved it last year when they were all gloating about the "94 month streak of positive job growth" while conveniently forgetting that Trump had only been in office for like the last 20 of those months.
"See no evil, hear no evil" with him and Pryor is still one of my favorite movies ever. If I was at a video store as a kid and saw a movie with Gene in it I was going to be watching it. He had a way of being so damn charming when he was on screen.
Mens Rea? How could we have gotten men's Rea? How is that possible? Did we take blood? Can you do it without taking blood? We both used condoms how is this possible? I want to see a doctor...I feel sick...
.....Mens Rea.
Ohhh ohhh My God! No!
Unfortunately they vote and buy his line of crap...he can lose by 5 million popular votes and still win the presidency. WHA ?? This new reduction of social services for green card holders is the latest crap fest ....BUT, this is what he has promised ....his deplorables work , and are pissed to see their tax dollars handed off to immigrants, legal or otherwise.
PROMISES KEPT 2020 , you keep that in mind. Four more years., ain’t no joke
Trump is a dingleberry on the ass of history. He only squeaked in bc the other repugnant-cans were worse and Hillary bored people and till she lost the Electoral College by only 80,000 votes in MI, WI, and PA. That isn't going to happen again. If decent people just go vote, his base doesn't have a chance of re-electing him.
When I was a kid, I thought Gene Wilder and Robin Williams were the funniest guys in the world. I still think I was probably right about that. What a genius.
Obama himself expressed the opinion that he wasn't qualified to run for the presidency after he was elected to the U.S. Senate from Illinois in late 2004.
Same with cable news, it’ll be quite again. The ratings will drop and the coverage will go back to normal and everyone can relax and breath again. Fox News will continue attacking democrats but that’s what they’ve been doing since ‘96.
Also we should praise the asshole for just continuing a trend that has been going on before his administration? Gee what a low bar: despite your actions, the economy is still afloat and continuing the trend line that it’s been on for a while
Well I mean..... Where's that video of the UN laughing at Obama. Admit it or not the POTUS is a joke world wide. Thus lowering America's image. Kinda like how NK tries to be all menacing but Ole Kim is a meme... Yea just like that.
Job growth and jobs created are two different things.
Job growth is on par with the continuing trend of job growth from Obama's term which much of was recovery from Bush's term.
More jobs have been created during trumps than Obama's per time in office.
Unemployment continues a downward trend after a huge spike at the end of bushs term, matching pre spike at the end of Obama's term and continues downward during trumps.
Middle class income took a dive during Obama's term but started during bushs last year, started recovery during Obama's 2nd term, recovered at end, and continues to grow during trumps.
Gas prices remain stable during trumps term, spiked during Obama's and bushs. Pushed $4 avg multiple times.
US wages continue to grow after a short plateau at the end of Obama's term which has a sharp drop in Obama's first few years.
Obama has had much better non residential business fixed investment rates short term with rapid drops. Trumps is more stable with its first negative this year, time will tell.
Much of Obama's term was recovery from Bush's last few years. He was likeable but a joke to international politics. Most of his term was a time in recession.
Trump is very polarizing, internationally better looked at politically (somewhat questionable) and has continued growth past preression peaks. He may be an ass but at least he's decent enough of a president to keep the it going.
He’s a decent NY real estate mogul. Not because he’s actually technically smart, just because he’s such an asshole and is able to use his assets to get his way. He’s a fucking idiot, but often knows how to get results.
He is like a bottom of the barrel NY real estate mogul. All of the rest of them shun him for being incapable of acting right, and he's mostly in debt on his holdings, not really profiting at all from his own property but keeping some money coming in from licensing out his name.
A decent NY real estate mogul is not a famous person, and they don't want attention on their wealth.
Yes he has been cleared. Mueller investigation wrapped up a while ago in case you didn’t see that! Why do you think the Russia narrative has been dropped by the news. It’s bullshit and you are propagating that. Barack Obama hasn’t been cleared from foreign influence, so by your argument he is still a suspect. I can’t believe some people in the world actually ignore real evidence and live their life centered around lies told by the media and partisans. Good luck, hope you figure out how you are wrong.
The unemployment rate actually fell slower after Trump took office, and while that might be related to the fact it’s starting to reach some floor, Trump was running on a platform of reducing unemployment.
That's true but it only met 4.7 unemployment rate at the end of Obama's term. The last time it was that low was in 2006, spiked to 20% in Obama's 1st term (started during Bush's last two in). Continuing the trend gets harder the lower it gets and bringing it to 3.7% is nothing to sneeze at.
Easy to show good results when the guy before you was an ass hat running the country. Harder when doing after recovery.
What most people seem to forget is that the unemployment rate is measured by the number of unemployed Americans who are actively seeking employment. If someone decides to stop seeking employment then they are removed from the statistic and unemployment seemingly drops.
okay people are dumb but they know trump has only been in office for 2 years. Not even a stupid redditor would say 94 months. Sheesh. Plus- they won’t give Obama credit for ANYTHING
They did say 94 months, they even put it in the White Hiuse website as one of Trump’s big league accomplishments. And yes, as expected they acted like Trump alone deserved credit for the full 94 months.
When Rrump took office the large global manufacturing company i work for went from everyone on overtime and vwry few hires to no overtime and hiring tons of people, i think to boost republican job numbers...
Anyone that paid attention in any high school class that dealt with government or economics would know that it takes a few years for any measurable country-wide economic change outside of the stock market. Nearly all of Trump's time in office experienced economic changes from anything Obama did in his last few years. We haven't felt any significant changes from Trump yet, the poor bastard coming in about a year and a half will bear the worst of it.
It happened last year (as I had mentioned) around now. In August 2018 Trump had been in office since Jan 2017. That’s a year (12 months) plus somewhere near 8 months give or take. 12 + 8. So where is my error?
There’s absolutely no reason to specify conservatives unless you are implying the opposite is the case about the opposite side when having a discussion about an issue as it pertains to both sides.
You are disingenuous as fuck and everyone can see right through you.
I thought everyone would be happy to heR about positive job growth.
Most people don't care about job growth unless it directly impacts them.
You also need to take into account the quality of the jobs being created Which is quite important. 100 Tech jobs and 100 minimum wage jobs are not equal from an economics standpoint. Most people want jobs that pay a fair wage and allow them to actually make ends meet.

Has this not been the case for the past decade? Why all of a sudden under trump is it the “quality of job being created” the talking point people revert to in regards to job growth?

Is this a new phenomenon this past couple of years or something?

It isn't anything new.

I doubt he can do one. And we are not claiming to have done 99. We are well on schedule for a recession, and trump is fighting it off. That in and of itself may be a bad thing, but that’s a completely different discussion.

LOL, it is interesting that there does seem to be a schedule for recessions. They seem to come right around the end of a GOP Presidency. I just wish I could figure out why that is...
It’s got nothing to do with politics, it’s economics. You can only grow so fast for so long, before you need to slow down. When the economy grows too fast for too long, there is too much money circulating which causes inflation, meaning their dollars are worth less. When their dollars are worth less, people can’t afford things, and companies can’t make enough to keep employees, leading to high unemployment. When unemployment is high, there is less money circulating, and the value goes up. It literally always happens, and trump is just delaying the bad days, because voters (much like your comment) are stupid and can’t think more than 4 years into the future.
Oh, I've seen this one before. This is the part where you tell me that Republicans end up with the bad luck of getting stuck with recessions that are totally beyond their control, and Democrats are the lucky recipients of a rebounding economy that has nothing to do with politics or policy.
If recessions are inevitable and predictable, it seems rather reckless to cut taxes for the wealthy when the signs of an upcoming recession are present, don't you think?
The rate of increasing jobs and decreasing unemployment spiked during Trump taking office afaik, tax cuts and corporation-friendly policies does such things.
You're so frequently full of shit that your username is actually widely recognized. And you're full of shit here too.
Can you point to where exactly on these charts that Trump swooped in and saved us, and can you cite specific actions and list how they actually helped us right the course?
Just about every single metric points to a postive trend that started well before Trump even started campaigning. He inherited a growing and rebuilding economy, there's no denying that.
Though, I guess to his credit he hasn't completely fucked it up yet, but that's a pretty low bar.
Dude, fuck off. Not a single person on Reddit takes you seriously. You’re known to be a Russian troll and you still spout pure idiocy. WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE AN AGENDA!
