    Voters denied the right to vote. Name one.

    Artificially raising the price of something results in less consumption. People lose jobs. Econ 101.

    The Trump economy is a disaster ??? Tell that to blacks, low income blacks, and women. Where do you come with this garbage ???

    Some good points, that’s why it’s very important to get fair trade deals with foreign nations

    You've posted that comment before. Must be your favorite thing to post when you have nothing. Or did you learn a new word and just like to use it so others will admire your erudition? To quote a favorite movie line, "I don't think that word means what you think it does."
    I'm done here.

    Hellofromwarsaw already provided a HUGE list of names. Are you still denying it exists?

    You're ignoring supply vs demand. It's not just about prices. Econ 101

    UP supply + UP demand = prices unpredictable
    UP supply + DOWN demand = prices drop
    DOWN supply + DOWN demand = prices unpredictable
    DOWN supply + UP demand = prices rise

    Time to educate you.

    (A) Like hellofromwarsaw informed you earlier, Trump inherited the Obama legacy of dropping unemployment rate, which began early in Obama's administration. Obama had in fact inherited a very high unemployment rate from his predecessor, Bush.
    (B) 51% of all American workers make less than $30,000/year. 44% of the American workforce makes less than $18,000/year ($10.22/hr or less). Plus, combine this with (1) half of them being sole breadwinners, and (2) the cost of living having risen 14% over the past three years...and it's not a pretty economic picture.

    63% of Latino/Hispanic workers and 54% of Black workers earn low wages, compared to 37% of white workers and 40% of Asian American workers.

    Of those making less than $18,000, 54% are female...and 52% are white, 25% are Latino/Hispanic, 15% are Black, and 5% are Asian American. (Both Latino/Hispanic and Black workers are over-represented relative to their share of the total workforce.)

    So, despite lower unemployment numbers, the majority of Americans are basically poor. Now, do you still believe women & blacks are doing really well under Trump?

    Says who? Rupert Murdoch? Let's look at what James Murdoch (one of Rupert's sons) thinks about Fox News.

    I would suspect that no Republican nor Trump would bother with this extra effort.

    Name one person who was denied the right to vote. Still waiting.

    Trump will win in a landslide in 2020 because of his economic policies.

    Econ 101 : Artificially raising the price of something results in reduced consumption. Raise the minimum wage and people will lose jobs. This is happening in the cities which have done so.

    If the Obama economy was so great Hillary would have won in a landslide.

    The lower income quintiles are seeing the highest wage growth.
