  • Trump job creation and the upcoming election

    The current president's clear vision on the economy will be tough for the Dems to beat. Trump outdistanced Obama, making the best ever economy, ever. More Americans working, more jobs created, a tax code shaped to make America great again.

    Trump 2020, making America rake again.

              Funny how Obama keeps trying to take credit for an economy that his fellow Democrats are trying to bad mouth.

              I'm always still in trouble again

                  It has been a point of faith, a faith capable of moving mountains, that Trump is an economic genius and has created more jobs than Obama. Is that a misplaced faith, or isn't any truth really important for Trump supporters?

                    The indoctrinated, members of a cult, are programed so as to believe what their leaders tell them to believe. Like Trump told them, "don't believe what you hear or read, just stick with us. What you're seeing and what you're hearing is not what's happening."

                      I've still yet to recieve a straightforward answer to what exactly was better under Trump than under Obama. About the best people can point to is that this or that market indicator performed slightly better, but I honestly don't see any more of an explosive growth under Trump. Both Trump and Obama are inflating the US deficit, like Bush before them all the way back to Reagan (with the noble exception of Clinton).

                        Generally the picture seems to be that the economy had flatlined under George Bush, and then an economic recession took place due to the collapse of the US Real Estate market, and then things have been steadily recovering since then. Though both Obama and Trump have caused enormous deficits in the US economy (which is a worrying trend to continue).

                        GDP


                        Dow Jones Index


                        Unemployment Rate


                        Average Salary (It's surprisingly hard to find reliable statistics on this, so take this chart with a grain of salt)


                        Trade Deficit


                        Percent Change In Total Debt Relative To Starting Point (Again, take this with a grain of salt)

                          Median household income graph shows explosive growth, there you go.

                          The other metrics you depict are not useful, demi would look at more useful indicators like job openings compared to unemployment, business and consumer confidence. But lots of the improvement is from big government spending, and demi hasn't bothered to check if there has been explosive improvement.

                            Why do you care so much about GDP or stock market indices? Is it some kind of blind spot?

                            Those are useless regarding the poor, who are primarily affected by job availability, salaries, and cost of living, not whether the latest QE has boosted the stock market.

                              You are simply wrong. "Obama’s last three years of job growth all beat Trump’s best year."

                              Trump is taking credit for Obama's economy whereas his only virtue is that he hasn't actually wrecked it - yet. Although, he has created a record deficit. "The federal deficit under President Donald Trump will top $1 trillion this year, ... Debt growing toward record level."
