    Because he's a blowhard with a big ego and thinks he is the best ever even though he has a 52% disapproval rating by some polls but he tweeted a 52% approval rating which was a lie .

    Many people are talking about how this is almost identical to the revision of NAFTA that was already sitting on the president's desk when he first took office. Took him two years to make his way back to what already existed. Kudos.

    Obama did next to nothing to grow the economy. He was benefitted by the most accommodating federal reserve policy in history. But you’re not educated enough to realize that, so you probably won’t understand.

    Yep, you are still an idiot.

    Obama inherited a crap economy from the 2008 collapse and led it back to normal. Obama was one of the best President's of all time, and now we have this crook that won't even honor McCain for his service.

    Can't wait for Trump's funeral to see the "Biggest crowd ever"...lol...not.

    This is Trump’s MO...

    Remember that breakthrough Europeans deal... an agreement to agree to talk more while we put further tariffs on hold....

    Remember the North Korea deal....?

    I mean... it’s your boy Trump publicly complaining about Federal Reserve becoming less accommodating...

    I mean... hasn’t President Trump benefited from low interest rates that still historically low....

    Are you educated enough to understand?

    the economy is actually the one thing trump can hang his maga hat on, but he is such a s*** show in all other areas that it obscures anything positive he is doing.

    that being said, if the economy crashes, deflates or even slows down will trump be held accountable for that? if trader texxx wants to give trump all the credit for the boom that we have been in for the last 4 or 5 years (haha) then he also has to hold him responsible for any slow-downs...or will that be obamas fault?

    also, i do have to point out the absurdity and hypocrisy of republicans and so-called fiscal conservatives being OK with the $12 billion dollar subsidy to farmers. you want your bernie sanders-style tariffs and subsidies conservatives? if you really believed that what you are doing is good you wouldnt have to bribe american farmers...anyone who is not totally biased can see what is going on there...he is using taxpayer dollars to bribe farmers hurt by his tarriffs so he doesnt lose their vote or support. are so-called fiscal conservatives really OK with their tax dollars being used to buy votes?

    No one knows if this is a good or bad deal at this point.

    I remember a very UNSTABLE genius in the Springtime posting about Comrade AMLO winning the elections in Mexico leading to the disappearance of NAFTA, and that the clueless would hail Trump but in reality no one has ever hated NAFTA more than AMLO since 1995.

    Once AMLO is in office, I look for Mexico, China, Russia, El Salvador and the rest of the comrades in central and south america to do everything with each other further isolating the U.S.
    Some dominoes have fallen and Gop politicians are tripping.

    all he did was
    • successfully bailed out the financial industry, something that W had failed miserably, which stabilized the economy;
    • this paved the way towards
      • 70+ consecutive months of job creation, avg > 100K a month
      • lifting the US economy from the ashes to positive GDP territory for the last 7 yrs in office
      • growing the stock market > 300% under his watch


    people who understand economics---which automatically excludes you---knows that Obama had inherited a shrinking economy, w a bankrupt financial industry, losing > 100K jobs a month.

    QE began when GWB was still in office to rescue the financial industry. Even w QE, he failed miserably.
    Obama inherited this mess. but he was able to rescue the financial industry.

    From Stephen Covey - 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

    A person in charge of a physical asset, such as a machine, may be eager to make a good impression on his superiors. Perhaps the company is in a rapid growth stage and promotions are coming fast. So he produces at optimum levels -- no downtime, no maintenance. He runs the machine day and night. The production is phenomenal, costs are down, and profits skyrocket. Within a short time, he's promoted. Golden eggs.

    But suppose you are his successor on the job. You inherit a very sick goose, a machine that, by this time, is rusted and starts to break down. You have to invest heavily in downtime and maintenance. Costs skyrocket; profits nose-dive. And who gets blamed for the loss of golden eggs? You do. Your predecessor liquidated the asset, but the accounting system only reported unit production, costs, and profit.

    Interesting considering the one interaction we had you literally argued against education. Go back to farming or whatever it is you do best.
