Trump is a Winning Machine

Oh I don't know have you heard them speak in public, at times I question if they are even aware in general.

 

Still a ways to go but headed in right direction. I’ll take it as winning for the time being. Especially with China which the trade deficit with the is 12% lower year over year r12.

Definitely a good thing, though remember the context that through 2017 and 2018 it (deficit of goods with China) rose quite a bit.
2016 - 2017 saw a $29b deficit increase
2017 - 2018 saw a $44b deficit increase

Good news it's coming down though!

SInce mid 18 the deficit has started to go down. But ya, I'm sure it should have started decreasing the day Trump took office......cause that's how things work.

Click on the 10 year....

I was talking about with respect to China alone.

The note about the increases was to help explain why there is a currently large decrease. I would be really impressed if the large decrease happened after 2 years of consistent decrease, not 2 years of very large increase.

Obviously things don't change the day someone new steps into office - someone may want to remind the current administration of that fact while they are patting themselves on the back for some of the #'s they inherited.

 

Unlike the previous administration that spent the first 6 years blaming the previous.

 

So to beat it you have to go back to Obama year one. That year was in the middle of a major recession and I don't believe the dollars are inflation adjusted. Compared to now where we are in expansion and 8 years of inflation has occurred. Takes a while to turn the ship. The tell will be if this continues next year. Even if they are still exporting via third countries it is raising their costs.

 

It’s trending in the right direction. Of course only time will tell.

 

Definitely agree

When even one of the most outspoken, white hating racists around sees and admits that Trump is a champion for black America...then what ignorant bastards are left?

 

I know Tillerson was a piece of shit globalist but I just lost all respect for General Kelly for trying to hack stab trump. Sign him up for treason too.

The war machine is tight.

Meanwhile...promises kept and Constitution defended.

 

An interesting take on things......I like that quote by Aristotle to kick things off

 

Gobbledygook is gobbledygook.

 

This is one of my favorite ones!
It hurts to watch.

Think he'll keep the promise of eliminating Federal Debt? Think he'll even be able to get the Deficit to positive after 8 years?

I assume it's the Democrats fault?

 

Where have the Democrats helped?

 

No, I blame that on the limp wristed Republicans. Good or bad, Trump caved on the first shut down because he wanted to make sure the military got paid. That spending bill was a joke. The hilarity is the democrats want to throw the debt in the republicans faces, yet the leading democrats for POTUS are going to make the debt look like child's play with with their budget proposals.

 

So for Trump's first 2 years (over 2/3rd's of his currently served time) while he had a Republican majority in both houses, he (I suppose it should be "we" and not "he") was on track to eliminating the Federal Debt? Or even the deficit?

Let's pretend: If everyone worked together during the 2019 shutdown, and the Rebuplican's got exactly what they wanted (the sticking point was funding for the wall) - would that budget have put the country on a course to eliminate the Federal Debt?
