“Agree? Chip in $5 so we can put an end to this,†Gillibrand wrote, sharing the image of her showing disgust over President Trump’s address, particularly him touting new jobs created.
“Wages are rising at the fastest pace in decades, and growing for blue collar workers, who I promised to fight for, faster than anyone else. Nearly 5 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps,†Trump said when Gillibrand sent out her tweet. “The United States economy is growing almost twice as fast today as when I took office, and we are considered far and away the hottest economy anywhere in the world.â€
