Well @Applewood I do thank you for reading the article. I was more impressed than you were and I have been more impressed with Trump's presidency than you are, but that's life.
I do not consider Trump a disappointing failure at all. Maybe it's because I expected very little from him and he has been so much better than I expected. Even though you may not credit Trump with it, the economy is definitely on the upswing.
I was disappointed that Trump won the primaries, but I did hope that perhaps he would prove me wrong about him. Believe me, if he had, not only would I eat crow, I would have rejoiced. After 8 years of Obama, I was looking forward to sanity, class and conservativism.
I see none of the above in this presidency.
As for the economy -- well, I don't trust the numbers and haven't for years. Seems BLS and other agencies employ creative math for every presidency. During Obama's 8 years, the numbers fudging was on steroids. How do any of us know the stats during this administration are anything close to reality?
But even if they are right, I am concerned that any improvement in the economy will come to a crashing halt, thanks to the trade wars. So far, it looks like the supposed benefits of tariffs are being negated by failing businesses and rising prices. People are suffering and the suffering will get worse.
