    Much like they fail to understand or appreciate the idea that a rising tide lifts all boats.

    You could look this up yourself if you honestly wanted to know....

    Same pretzel logic of the Trump Fans who blamed Obama and told that Trump will need some time to clean up the mess of Obama and so he should have been given this time?

    Is the coal miner in WV all excited about the stock market? Or maybe all the new hires at fast food restaurants?

    How many jobs were added in the same reporting period last year and does the fact that more jobs were added then cut against your argument?

    Really ... I expect that you know the own official numbers and reports of the past and that you don't forget them!

    We may be having a language barrier issue here... I'm not entirely certain what you are trying to say, but yes, it will take time (years, even) to fix some of the mess Obama made, but one area which has seen rapid improvement under Trump is consumer confidence.

    Apparently Americans had confidence in Obama. During his 8 years the stock market tripled and unemployment went down from 7.8% on his inauguration day to 4.7% when he left office. I never thought to personally give him credit but the citizens of Trump Fan Nation says it's all about confidence in the President.

    Thanks, Obama. Your recovery program has finally rebuilt much of the Bush year's damage. Oh wait. Bush never happened, did he, Trumpies? Six months of chaos in today's White House hasn't stopped the recovery. Pretty impressive.

    Do you understand how the stock market works? Even if a coal miner or a fast food worker doesn't directly benefit via the stock market, they benefit overall when confident investors invest more in (per your example) coal or perhaps another fast food franchise or an expansion of a currently existing fast food restaurant.

    Then why only 209,000, compared to last July where 291,000 were created. 209 is less than 291. Less jobs implies consumer confidence is higher?

    Let me say it this way ...

    Obama started in January 2009 with unemployment rate of 7.8% which raised in 2010 due to the well-known crises he had not caused to 9.8% temporary. In June 2016 it was down to 4.5% as what it is now again with around 4.5%.
    This reduction from 7.8% down to 4.5% are how many million people again? ;-)

    Maybe...
    But isn't it true that Obama had same way to clean up the mess of Bush Jr. too?
    So you say that trump needs time to clean up mess of Obama, but you deny that Obama needed time to clean up mess of Bush?
    Isn't this hypocrisy?

    And consumer confidence is a weak tool, because it can be disturbed very fast and destroyed too ... by many things!

    Man... See how you just blamed Bush for Obama's failures? In the same breath, you'll credit Obama for Trump's successes, and blame Trump for Trump's failures. This is why you people are so predictable.

    16,000,000 more people went on food stamps under Obama.

    Perhaps consumer confidence indicates that there is optimism that he won't get his way in levying tariffs. If they are wrong and our cost of living begins to increase (and standard of living plummets) you can bet your ass the markets will respond negatively.

    So the claim is that better consumer confidence caused less job growth last month, compared to July, 2016? Weird logic from some of you.

    I'm middle class and his economy hasn't hurt me in the slightest. If you're middle class, how has it hurt you?

    Matter of fact they are. Coal exports and the trucks and trains that take the "clean" coal to markets is putting miners and others back to work.

    His economy hasn't hurt me, either. The last president to cause me economic distress was Bush, Jr. We did fantastic during Obama's years. (The last six of them, anyway.)

    No, there have been no banking regulations repealed. Trump issued an EO, which was actually a memorandum, asking Congress to look at Dodd-Frank and see what pieces of it they could easily roll back. They haven't rolled back a thing yet.
