    Default Wow. Not only is trump doing extremely well with the econ. but with for. policy.

    And this from CNN of all places.

    Iran sent 'multiple messages' to US that its attacks were done

    As US officials were busy assessing Iran's missile attacks in Iraq late Tuesday, messages began arriving from Iran saying one thing: We're done.

    Iran initiated contact through at least three back channels starting late Tuesday, including through Switzerland and other countries. There were "multiple messages and they were all the same," a person familiar with the matter said. Iran wanted to convey their retaliatory action had ended -- and was waiting to see how the US would respond.
    Maybe CNN is trying to become more "fair and balanced" because of their dismal ratings.

    So where's the link. I thought the forum rule was you had to post a link for a copy and paste.

    The economy? What parts are doing any different then they've been doing since mid-Obama's second term? It's been on the same slow rise since then. Well, there is one thing that is happening but I don't think it's good. Real estate may be starting to bubble again. I looked up our house and it shot up 86% in the last few years

    This is, easily, the best foreign policy week any president has had in the past 20 years.

    Unfortunately, that’s not saying a lot.

    I'm sure you understand what's going on here.

    Most world leaders always employ plausible deniability. None more so than Putin. Ever hear him take credit for ANY assassination?

    Of course not. We're going to see Iran's allies actively target our former allies, and citizens. Iran will play dumb, not unlike trump's criminal friend the Crown Prince of S.A..

    The difference between a virile leader, and an impotent one, is that the former needs no constant affirmation of their prowess.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Obama's GDP average was 1.49%. Trumps is 2.56%. 2.56% is better than 1.49%

    Obama's best unemployment number was 4.8%. The best rates for Blacks were at 9.5%. Trumps best unemployment rate has been 3.5%. For blacks it is 7.8%
    3.5% is better than 4.8% and 7.8% is better than 9.5%.

    Stock market growth has ballooned under Trump. Trumps Inauguration 1/20/17 the Dow was 19,827.25. It is currently at 28,745. That is an increase of 8,918 points or 44.9%.

    Under Obama, there was a net loss of 303,000 manufacturing jobs.

    Under Trump, there has been an increase of 467,000 manufacturing jobs.

    Here's a summary from Forbes. Only uneducated, clueless morons think the economy isn't far better than during eight years of Obamunism. And this is only three years into the Trump Presidency!

    The federal government released its first jobs report of 2019, showing that nonfarm payroll grew by 304,000 in January, far above economists’ consensus estimate of 170,000. The average monthly gain in 2018 was 223,000.

    Over the past year, average hourly earnings were up 3.2%.

    After revising its data for past periods, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that seasonally adjusted nonfarm employment grew by 5.1 million jobs in President Trump’s first full two years in office, a 3.5% increase. Private sector payrolls grew by 4.9 million, a 4.0% increase.

    By comparison, over the same 24-month period, the economy added 5.0 million jobs in former President Obama’s last two years in office, with private sector employment up by 4.7 million.

    Significantly, growth in manufacturing jobs continued to show strength, with 13,000 jobs added in January.

    Today In: Industry

    Over the past two years, with the encouragement of the Trump Administration’s red-tape cutting policies and the tax cut and reform law passed in December 2017, manufacturers added 467,000 jobs, more than six times the 73,000 manufacturing jobs added in Obama’s last two years.

    Looking at Trump’s first two years, the revised BLS data shows that more than two manufacturing jobs were added for every one job added in government at the federal, state, and local level. In contrast, under Obama, almost five government jobs were added for every one manufacturing job.

    Since Pres. Trump took office in January 2017, employment in manufacturing has increased 3.7%. Over the same period during the last two years under Pres. Obama, manufacturing payrolls grew by only 0.6%.

    He hates himself. If I were him, I probably would too.

    Yeah! Trump got the Iranians on side, the Iraqis pleaded to keep US troops forever, the Kurds love America, and even N. Korea is thinking of denuking.

    Can he put a foot wrong?

    Actually, the killing of the most important terrorist in Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, qualifies the week as a huuge (sic) success,
