    I am saying that you have no knowledge of what has been accomplished and what the negotiations with NOKO are based on. And additionally are an apologist for the failures of all the previous administrations who allowed NOKO to develop nuclear weapons.

    So, the claim is that this enormously complex intractable situation that the smartest people in the world haven't been able to solve was overnight solved by a person who's entire strategy for a negotiation involving the budget of the entire US government was to hand out candy bars. And, because I don't take that claim on pure unadulterated faith with zero explanation or evidence, I'm somehow being intellectually dishonest?

    Your point that the only thing you consider reasonable is unquestioned blind faith in the exact same ideology you have no matter how untenable that position may be?

    Let me give you a couple of lessons about the Economy that might help you as you learn in life

    Lesson 1: The economy is good, but it doesn't become good just "out of the blue" Presidents have to "do stuff". Obama passed many bills. Trump has not passed a single bill to help the Economy. Not one.

    Lesson 2: The Economy is good. The tendency to become good started with Obama. The tendency has not improved under Trump. As a matter of fact, it has hit a bit of a slump.

    For example. Here are some charts show aspects that directly impact average Americans.

    You tell me which one you prefer

    You honestly think the only way a President can affect an improvement in the economy is to pass a bill. PAALEEZEE, Evidently you didn't read the OP. Here are the points directly affecting the economy all of which are a direct result from Actions or policies of President Trump ! And, I'm still waiting for a response to this: Out of all the comments from Liberals on this thread not one, as I stated earlier, has extolled the virtues of Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Maybe you can enlighten everyone why you think Hillary would have been a better and less evil choice than Donald Trump and maybe you can give us a description of what the Country and World would look like today under a Hillary Administration.

    I mean, if you are stupid and fail at almost everything you ever do, one way to improve the economy is to ride the coat tails of the vastly more intelligent and competent person that set the economy in a positive direction before you. Of course you are still going to be a screw up, but you can hope that the full reaction to your screw ups doesn't happen before your next election (see gw bush).

    That’s hilarious. Obamanomics was a disaster. And the housing bubble and financial crisis was the result of Clinton’s low income housing policies and banking regulations.

    In a sustainable way, yes. A President can affect it negatively without passing a bill. But they cannot make sustainable improvements without one. Even with a bill sometimes they are not sustainable if they are not intelligent. And Trump certainly is not The only relevant piece of legislation that Trump has passed was the tax breaks for the rich. It created a small temporary bump in the economy that has already pretty much wound down.

    As for your list, we already know that Trump has a habit of taking credit for his predecessors' accomplishments. The other day he even tried to take credit for coming up with the idea for a 4th of July Parade in Washington DC, which has been going on for decades (over a century?). Sad thing is that he still has supporters who believe him.
