Obama kept unemployment around 5%. Trump got it near 15% (that's worse)


When will he do his MAGA promises? So far he's been playing golf.

We're still waiting for the big, beautiful wall to be built and paid for by Mexico. And replacement of Obamacare.

He has less than five months.

reply

I wonder if the coronavirus caused that.

reply

It did, but they leave that out...much like the media in this country. The Media in the US is a plague in of itself. Employment is high, and the stock market has had some rough days, not because of the GLOBAL FREAKING PANDEMIC, but because of Donald Trump. Ok then...sure. 🙄

I don’t really like defending him, but this is seriously ridiculous. The country was doing really well until the virus hit, and our politicians shut down the world, and whether it was the right thing to do or not, THAT is why unemployment is high, THAT is why the stock market tanked, but it’s politics, so they’re always gonna spin it...on both sides. Twist those words and leave out the stuff you want to leave out. That’s politics unfortunately, and it always will be. Remember when everything was going well...Trump was taking credit for it, and Democrats were saying we were doing well because of Obama’s policies, etc., and the merry-go-round of politics went around and around.

The handling of the coronavirus certainly did.

* What did the Democrats suggest we do before March 18?

Trump banned flights from China. Had a CV task force put together in December. Talked about it in the SOTU.

* What did democrats do from December to March?

Besides:
- have a dozen debates that never once discussed CV.
- tell people to goto Chinese parades and hug everyone.
- call Trump racist and conduct a partisan impeachment sham.

* What did Democrats do?

We already know you’re incapable of a substantive response.

The responsibility did not end in March 2020. It's still the republicans who are making a mess. No worries, new chance come November.

Where's that big beautiful border wall that Mexico is going to pay for ? It's been over three years, way before the Corona Virus.

reply

It's still being built. And we now realize it has to be built. Should have been built decades ago.

reply

Still being built ? LOL! It's been 3.5 years - still being built ?

Has Mexico paid for it in American dollars, or pesos ?

reply

What does it matter who pays for it? It has to be built for the protection of American citizens. We might have to build one around us to protect us from Democrats, too, the way they are burning down America.

reply

It matters. Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall. Trump doesn’t lie, does he? Trump doesn’t break promises, does he?

reply

Of course he does! He is a politician! They all lie, break promises. I care that it is built. I don't care who pays for it. I also care about American lives. Do you?

reply

Keeping a promise that Mexico will build and pay for the border wall has nothing to do with 'caring about American lives'. Don't try to distract - it doesn't help your feeble nonsense.

reply

Wow 54 posts. No substance, no logic, nothing persuasive, TDS. Sounds exactly like doggielemming. And would you look at that, doggie lemming first to respond seconds later. Lmao!!!

Stand up for doggielemming and his new sock!

reply

The irony...

reply

His base will vote for him because they'd be more scared of a commie plot by Antifa led by George Soros on horseback instead of a second wave of COVID or the encroaching economic collapse.

reply

True. The violence of liberalism is a greater than threat than anything.

reply

LFMAO!

reply

Before Kung Flu hit, Trump single-handedly grew the GDP by 2.4% in 2019, which eclipses all growth everywhere in all history.

reply

LOL! Remember when he said we'd be up to 4% ,5%, and 6% by now ?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

reply

The amazing part of that is he had to fight against the Democrats the whole time and he still saw positive growth, record unemployment and investment.

reply

If you looked at other news sources besides the lamestream idiots on tv, you'd know what he's done so far, and it's more than what can be said of the last 3 idiots we've had in the White House. But no, you're like doggydump and keeliar and let your thoughts and opinions get spoon-fed to you, rather than finding out on your own.

reply

Only facts matter. Unemployment is sky high. The economy is down. more people are dying. All under Trump.

reply

He was able to walk down a shallow ramp for fifteen seconds without falling. That's his biggest accomplishment.

reply

He's too busy hiding from all the big kids in his little bunker
