What does the Gaslighter in Chief truly have to brag about? Sure as hell isn't the economy he benefited from, thanks to President Barack Obama who pulled the failing George W. Bush economy out of the toilet. Foreign policy, uniting the country, benefiting citizens of the United States, acting as a role model for our impressionable children? Nope....none of the above.

His friends at Mar-a-Lago are doing great. For everybody else, income growth has slowed under Trump. Democrats, point this out!

President Trump loves to boast about the robust American economy under his administration. He did so at the World Economic Forum and at this year’s State of the Union. At SOTU, Trump said, "From the instant I took office, I moved rapidly to revive the U.S. economy... If we hadn't reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success."

This of course is a lie, on at least two levels. First, he isn’t doing much more than continuing the job growth we had under Barack Obama. Indeed, the job growth in each of Obama’s last three years all exceeded Trump’s best year. And second, this “great success” has been the reality mostly for the super-duper rich—with the middle and working class left far behind and living paycheck to paycheck.

Do we really want the good ole days of Obama?

Do we want the slowest economic recovery in seventy years?

Do we want a president who continually lied to get his prize legislation, Obamacare, passed?

Do we want stagnant wages and more people dependent on government?

Do we want a president who, along with his secretary of state, left Americans to die while concocting a lie about a video because he cared more about an election coming up than the truth — or the Americans under attack?

Do we want a president who used the IRS to target political opponents instead of doing their job to administer tax laws?

Do we want a president who wouldn't give Ukraine defensive weapons?

Do we want to stop oil drilling and endure higher prices? Do we want someone whose goal is to bankrupt coal companies and jack up energy prices for the poor and middle class?

Do we want slush funds at the EPA, Justice, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to be used for political purposes and to give kickbacks to liberal groups?

Do we want a president who threatened to shut down government if the special interest group that crushes and crunches babies didn't get its massive taxpayer allowance?

Do we want a president to cater to dictators in Iran, Russia, and Cuba? Do we need someone who is flexible with Russia and who gives them control of 25% of our uranium?

Do we want someone who allows drug-running by terrorists?

Do we want a president who believes that manufacturing is gone for good and that it takes magic to bring it back?

Do we want a president who dictatorially changes immigration laws?

Do we want a president who uses Justice to spy on and target political opponents?

Do we want a president who allowed his secretary of state to traffic classified documents on an unsecure computer and lied when he said he had no idea that Hillary did that?

Do we want a president who allowed so many in his inner circle, including Hillary, Holder, Rice, Clapper, and Brennan to commit crimes such as perjury and allowed them to be above the law?
