    His tax plan was designed for one thing: a short-term spike, to try to help Republicans w/ the midterms. I hope that this growth is sustainable, but ultimately, he's banking on trickle-down, which has not worked in the past. He's not building a solid foundation for economic growth.

    And I really don't see what he's doing on the foreign policy front. His biggest accomplishment so far is legitimizing a brutal tyrant.
    Workers also aren’t seeing pay increases and resent that the 1% benefited the most from the tax cuts. His tariffs will likely cause him problems with his base as well. Healthcare also hasn’t been resolved and when the changes take place and people’s healthcare cost spike, it will also mean trouble for Trump.

    I am grateful the economy hasn’t tanked, yet.

    One group that remains as sour on America's direction as before is self-identified Democrats,
    unchanged from their meager 13 percent level of optimism.

    Link it up to something believable, ie not you, Russobot.

    Come November, you'll have an entirely different conversation.
    I hope you're right, but I fear you are wrong. Normal people are sick of the hyperventilating over everything the idiot does. You guys have already made your point. Now you go too far and make people think "WTF? get a life! I'm not voting with idiots like that."

    Pick your fucking battles, morons
    You're doing more harm than good to your party.
    The third party will emerge and take all your sane voters.

    Good luck and seek help for the TDS
