    Actually, he was a reality TV star portraying a successful businessman.

    He was a monumental failure in the real world.

    You didn't answer my question.

    Thats because engaging in trench warfare with you about why trump revived the economy would be a battle that never ends

    If you want to say its because I do not have al the answers I agree with thst

    Trump has revved up the economy and he deserves credit for it

    He couldn't borrow from American banks because he's a deadbeat. Trump Airlines? Crashed and burned. His money-laundering casino in Atlantic City? Taken to the cleaners. Trump Steaks? Rancid. Trump Vodka? Down the drain. Lying to Forbes to get on their wealthiest people list? Failure. Trump Magazine? Unread--especially by him and his supporters. Trump University? An advanced degree in FAILURE. Trump Mortgage? Foreclosed on.

    He's not anywhere near one of the top developers in NY, either. And he had a huge head start.

    The guy has as much business acumen as a pile of hair sweepings at a barbershop. His "success" is illusory, and is mostly the result of borrowing from foreign banks and branding--like play-acting the role of "successful businessman".

    How?

    By engaging in a trade war? By increasing normal peoples' taxes while cutting taxes for businesses whoch had a negligible positive effect, and a massive negative impact? By blundering around with "the wall"? How did he "rev up" the economy?

    I think free trade with our most dangetous enemy that results in a $350 billion weath transfer To chins is a bad policy

    We did not become a hollow economy overnight and we wont return to a sound economy in just two or four years

    But for the first time since 1998 we are headed in the fight direction

    But didn't he claim he started with only a million from his daddy which turned out to be four hundred million and loan guarantees for much more and now he is in debt up to his eyeballs and probably to Russia and or the Saudis to add to the fun. We will know eventually if he even has any net worth when Mueller and the Dems get done with him.

    One thing for sure. If he had invested his four hundred million plus in the stock market he would be way ahead of whereever he is today.

    And you forgot that he also knows that ISIS is defeated and North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat, Oh, and we have never had open borders with Mexico. And Trump has never been against free trade with China.

    Sorry but that isn't an actual measure of anything having to do with the economy. Try again. And one quarter is evidence of nothing. You are supposed to present evidence of any economic metric that has chaged slope or direction significantly under Trump.

    And just for your education if Obama added 1 manufacturing job and Trump added 7.14 manufacturing jobs the increase would be 714% which still wouldn't add up to any significant change in the economy. And in terms of the real economic impact of the Trump manufacturing boom that is a pretty fair representation of the actual impact on the economy.

    Nope you provided a number. You failed to meet the challenge. And number of manufacturing jobs isn't a measure of the economy. Epic fail. Care to try again.



    Ok

    Whst fact do you want to hear?
    Well lets see if you can post any facts that would indicate that Trump has significantly changed the direction of any economic metric.

    Here is a link that will help you understand economic metrics:

    The number of manufacturing jobs is a vital measure of the economy

    Under the past three baby boomer presidents America has moved increasingly yo a hollow economy of raw consumerism supplied by trade goods made in china

    Trump is seeking to return to the foundation of our wealth which absolutely depends on products made in America by Americans

    He says one thing and does another. You don't know enough sbout how the economy works to grasp he's talking, not doing.
