POLL Trump Report Card - Economy
- Thread starter wvu2007
- Start date
Kudos for an improving economy, but this is a trend line that started a few years ago. The number of food stamp recipients has been dropping since some time on 2013.
At what point do you think people will start giving Trump's policy and economic agenda credit? I'm betting it won't happen until we crest 3% in Q4.
That's not what liberal democrats want, an improving economy and decreased numbers receiving federal support.
My point is that things had been improving before he took office. He hasn't done anything to screw that up.
Word choice is always funny to me. I agree, we'd been stable for several years, credit to wherever you want there. I think he's created optimism within industry, so in that regard, while correct, he hasn't done anything to screw the growth up, he has contributed to continued trajectory. As soon as we hit 3%, and assuming he maintains that, it's over Johnny. Mark him down for another 4 years.
We're still running in "Obama's" economy, but there is no doubt that Trump's election created a shift in outlook and optimism.
I'm worried however we're going to see a slow down next year.
I give a solid B because it is obviously not an A. He needs to interface with congress more. Cannot do what you want without the legislative body assistance.
I would like to do some research on the opinions and how derived by some of our members. How did they vote and why. Less than 100words:
Trump
Chuckie Shu
McConnell
Manchin
Collins
Murk
McCain
Repub
DEem
Any additions you would like

9 record closes in 2016 prior to the election of Donald Trump. 52 record closes since election day and 35 in 2017 alone.
Yup, has NOTHING to do with Trump.
Do you not think "nothing" is excessive. Just to change the economic thinking gave some impetus. Talk of investment ditto. It is just a damn crime that the media has been so negative. Allow it to grow and it will. It never would have gotten so bad had Obama just stayed out of the way. Reversal of Obama personal damper via the Administrative Laws has added some Impetus.
Nothing is severe. Why did you make the statement? What could have positively been your reasoning? Did it really hurt Trump?
Not according to these guys:
... business leaders no longer seem convinced that meaningful economic policy changes are coming from Washington anytime soon.
The executives who did mention Trump during their most recent calls expressed worry that their businesses and the economy might suffer if nothing gets done.

What are you talking about? Do you even know?
What evidence other than Trump's existence do you have that Trump has influenced it? Growth begets growth. Trump wasn't in office until 2017, so you can't give him credit for the last 17 records of 2016 which means that there was a total of 26 records in the last year of the Obama administration. Your conclusion is almost as laughable as MountainBill's (whatever happened to him?) assertion that the crash of 2008 was prompted by Wall Street panicking because they knew in July that Obama was going to be elected.
Remember just a few weeks ago when you got schooled on minimum wage and ran like a coward after you got spanked?
Not at all a 'one man job'. MUST get the lazy, scared, lackluster elected congress to get on with their jobs and get these bills passed. John McCain is as much of a problem in getting anything accomplished as is Chuck Schumer. Too bad he was just re-elected last cycle. He is hindering the President and making his job and accomplishments far more difficult. The Democrat elected officials tend to be in lock step with the President (who was often wrong and led the party down the dark road) while so many Republicans relish the in-fighting within the party and getting nothing really accomplished. This all needs to change. Trump is working his tail off and accomplishing a lot (that can be done without Congress) but there is so much more on the table that need (MUST) be accomplished.
This notion that we should be shocked, thrilled, surprised by "record closings" is laughable. Bush had record closings, Obama had them, Trump will have them, Kasich will have them (hoping), and so on and so on.
Damned if I know where the last paragraph came from. Not sure it all belongs to me. Show me the original post and I will try to put it into context if possible.
Even before the inauguration, manufacturers came forward to announce investments in jobs and credited Trump. These horse and pony shows were on TV.
