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.
Trump’s ‘Spectacular Economy’ Was Far Better for the Middle Class Under Obama
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.
