Do not want the Trump economy because it still flows mostly upward and because the few scraps that have fallen to the majority are about the shrivel up into nothing, and then we will be left with the unfathomable bill he has left us. It’s like he’s throwing this epic all-nighter (where most attendees get a few scraps, but the music is good). Then the host disappears, leaving a huge mess to clean up and all the caterers and musicians lining up to get paid. I feel sorry for the next administration… the “morning after” crew.
He squashed the Iran deal and oil is going up. He’s still having a hissy fit at the Chinese and the trade war is escalating. Goodbye Obama economy, hello Trump economy.
Ha! Mr. Varvel has done it again. This time, his metaphor says that the “Trump Economy” is a gigantic and lethal disaster trap. “There is the promised land. You go on ahead without me. I’m going to travel this one on my yacht.”
Confused.. trumps economy has you going back to the Middle East? We know that is where he (the trump) gets his economic support.. now we should all do it?
When you borrow 2 Trillion dollars a year, thats $6,200 per person or $15,200 per household the economy is going to do well, Until in the words of Margaret Thatcher, “You run out of other peoples money”
Trump and Varvel are OK with that as long as we run out of other peoples money when a Dem is in the White House
Funny thing, when Obama was president the likes of Varvel were dead sure he had nothing to do with rescuing us from the collapse. Now with his hero in office it’s different.
Back to when we didn’t kill kids in cages and had healthcare? Back to when we allowed people into the country and women to have rights to their bodies? Back to when we had equality in businesses and the military? Back to when we celebrated our soldiers and FBI and worked against bigots? Back to when the rich were taxed so that the poor could survive and the middle class could thrive?
That parted water is going to come pouring down on us, and the faithful will praise their false right-wing god with a mouth full of water and lies.
They keep talking about how well “Trumps Economy” is doing… Yet he cancelled pay raises for federal workers… They are trying to cut funding for any and everything … (special olympics??) … Debt is not only the highest its ever been but its growing a the highest rate… I know MY taxes went up this year… Job creation is starting to dwindle off… etc etc… Look we all know Obama fixed the economy and stabilized it so that it would continue to grow… Don the Con comes in and takes credit from day one… gets rid of all the stabilizers, and safe guards put in place to avoid the economic crisis Obama had to fix… so what we have now is a very unstable economy that only benefits the ultra rich who can afford to gamble in this torrid market… Once they suck up all the money … and I mean all, because they are already trying to get SS and Medicare… and we are back on the brink of recession/depression … it will be too late. But at least abortion will be illegal though right?
Breaking News: New 25% Tariffs on Chinese imports may suppress U. S. equipment manufacturers job gains by as much as 400,000 over next 10 years…Bloomberg News 05/10/2019. Where’s your great economy headed, Trump?
Are you really dumb enough to think that only one particular compulsive-lying, incompetent, orange douche-bag can have a certain effect on the economy?

If all people care about it “the economy” which they don’t understand and benefits the wealthy far more, they are definitely misguided.

Republican Varvel seems to forget that Obama and Biden led the recovery from the Bush Recession. And the Trump economy is built on exploding deficits.

How many times did Trump run a business that was “doing great”, but then suddenly went bankrupt.
I don’t trust the “trump economy”, it is all smoke and mirrors.
