    The best that can be said is that he hasn't screwed up what he inherited - YET.
    Give them time, they never fail to screw it up. Then they blame the mess on, and turn the mess back over to, the democrats to clean up, as they did in 2008 to Obama.

      Yeah, we've been over this before. Without factoring in the labor participation rate, which was at a 40-year low under Obama, the unemployment number is basically meaningless, because few people looking for work will decrease the unemployment rate even if those people simply gave up looking because they couldn't find a job.

        I will stick with the Forbes assessment rather than your Trump talking points. Forbes is a respected and authoritative source and in line with many other similar opinions on this topic.

          How else could Trump afford tax cuts for the wealthiest people?

            Sure, you can appeal to the genetic fallacy if you want.

              I know. Interesting how we don't hear the right anymore ranting about the rising debt now that it's a republican raising it, and without good reason to.

                  The world as we know it is going to end if the global warming denialist continue in their ignorance and support unprincipled lying rogues like Trump.

                    We were supposed to have all starved to death 30 years ago. Did it happen?

                          Right so when the banks collapse we won't have to pay back the national debt. Easy Peasy.

                            Hyperbole? It was in a popular book called, “The Population Bomb.” That was one of the major reasons China enacted its one child policy. It’s not hyperbole at all, but an actual prediction that turned out to be false with other false predictions. That’s why so many doubters exist, because dire predictions turned out to be false.

                              Population? We're talking climate change Lipix, the conclusions of 99% of scientists, not the 1968 predictions of one University Professor concerning overpopulation.

                                My dear sweet Jimmy, the idea humanity is destroying the world is tied directly into works like ‘The Population Bomb’ because environmental disaster was a central idea, which was all based on faulty reasoning and bad assumptions. Many people stop listening when such dire claims are made that don’t pan out. The environmentalist movement is filled with such things. That’s why lots of people blow them off.
