    So the economy is better then it was two years ago?Thanks.

    I remember the left predicting major recessions ever since he won in Nov of 2016. I remember Obama in 2016 saying Trump had no major wand and certain jobs wouldn't becoming back....Trump got it done. Heck, at one point Obama said double digit unemployment was the new normal. Obama and the left did nothing but try to make their failed economy the reality.

    Worse, the liberal noise machine is misrepresenting what the President's advisors actually reported.

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ERP-2019.pdf

    My guess is the frauds who are part of the MSM propaganda operations count on the gullibility of their target audience, and know their interest level only goes as far as the headline.

    No body capable of reading a graph can credit Trump.

    Then take it up with the left. I'm to the right of Trump on economics.

    Wrong again. Those jobs started coming back before Trump ever took office. Again, no one capable of reading a graph can credit Trump.

    I take it you haven't ever actually looked at the employment numbers, or any other economic indicator, over the past several years, which is par for the course.

    If they were coming back why did Obama say they wouldn’t come back?

    I have looked a unemployment numbers of the years...it’s quite clear where the changes took place...I don’t. Credit just trump, he has a gop comgrsss that earns a lot of that credit

    Ask him. Reality says they started coming back well before Trump ever took office. I can post a graph if you like.

    It isn't just employment that improved. Every economic indicator started going on a positive trajectory well before Trump took office, and the trends stared before Republicans took over the House. The fact that the trends continued at about the same rate no matter who was in the Oval Office or who had control of Congress should tell you something.

    No. The highest annual GDP growth rate we had under Obama was 2.9%. Same as Trump.

    That is what I thought.

    When Obama does it he is the savior of the economy but when Trump pulls the same numbers he is a failure.

    Have to love their logic.

    Post a graph showing manufactoring jobs coming back.

    Show me where the trends started improving prior to the GOP taking power back in Congress.

    Obama inherited a recession that the right wing barely felt and wonder why so much money was spent. Your guy inherited upward trends.

    Hello? Shifting spending from social programs to the military isn't "cutting" spending ... why is that so difficult to understand?

    The GOP took a majority in the House (but not the Senate) in 2011. The economic indicators were already improving by then.
