Economy keeps booming under Trump!


313,000 new jobs in February. Lowest unemployment in 17 years and the highest monthly job growth since 1983. Major gains in blue collar sectors such as manufacturing.

No wonder the Dems are clinging so hard to Mueller's investigation. Their chances of taking back the White House in 2020 are increasingly slim. LOL.

reply

Low-wage jobs do not constitute "booming economy".

reply

Nope! The average manufacturing wage in the US is $21.34, which is the highest its EVER been. It has gone up over 70 cents (3.8%) since Trump took office.

The unemployment rate for February remained UNCHANGED at 4.1%. Hourly rates rose .1%, while economists had expected the rate to be .2% or better from the .3% increase in January. So the hourly rate dropped .2% in one month - not good news.

February was also the month T-rump was uncharacteristically quiet on the stock market - wonder why?

reply

Wait, did the hourly rate rise 0.1% or drop 0.2%? I think you're having trouble keeping track of your own BS.

reply

It dropped .1% from January, .2% from the economists expectations. Comprehension is still a challenge for you, huh?

reply

You're talking about the rate of increase of hourly wages, not the wages themselves. Try making sense next time.

reply

"Hourly wages" are not considered "wages" in your alternate reality? OK

reply

thank you trump, you have blessed this great nation of ours again, and, again

You live in Russia?

comrade, you must be wiping your mouth with the toilet tissues

reply

so I guess you don't think all the stores closing is a big deal I see where some ppl are fighting for better wages, teachers and just how much of what he says is the same from week to week money laundering is big in his family and I have worked for people like him

reply

Stores are closing because of E-commerce. No president can stop that.

reply

Why can't the two co-exist? Why can't the stable genius find a solution?

reply

This is what happens when you elect a president who is pro business. With pro economic growth policies. The Trump boom blasts on like a blowtorch. Lemmings cry.

reply

The boom continues while liberals continue to blame Russia for everything, oh and China. The Trump rolls on.

reply

I see some projection in your post here.

Repubs blame Russia for interfering in the 2016 election. Dems blame Trump's campaign for colluding.

Trump blames China more than any political figure I've ever seen. Again, dems blame Trump for mucking it up.

As for Trump rolling on, I agree. All Trump has to do is attend rallies declaring how mean democrats are to him while Obama's economy continues. It's a solid strat.

reply

Still bumping old threads eh, Thrillhouse. Reported again. Your sock puppet has been reported as well. :)

reply

I know ...I used big words for a Trumpster Fire like you.

No boom...make up from big loss orange idiot won’t take responsibility for.


Better, Goober?

reply

Donald J Trump & (if you're a spineless Libertarian) Rand Paul are both on the record that the US economy does better under Democrats than it does under Republicans.

Shall I repeat that? Or do you want audio/video?

So. Who's lying? You? Trump? Randy Black Eyes?

MAGAts gonna MAGAt.

Their Saints are Reagan & W.

But Jimmy Carter created more jobs per year in office than Reagan & W COMBINED.

Trump started his administration riding the Obama wave - but it's not looking all that grand coming into our 4th quarter here, is it?

reply

The economy has been growing steadily since 2008. Trump has very little if nothing to do with it.
