how is a strong economy 'sorta good" are you a friggen moron? ecconomics/money drives and alleviates 90% of our collective problems.
Why am I not surprised you missed the point?
You quoted a stat which, as many others have pointed out, is not definitively indicative of a strong economy on its own. Hence, my use of the qualifier "sorta". You proceeded to incorrectly assume that my comment was entirely restricted to the economy of the USA.
Besides, hard-right economic policies are gradually being recognized as pure bullshit. Call it what you will... Reaganomics, Trickle-down economics, VooDoo economics, the Laffer Curve, fiscal conservatism... it's not good economic policy. It's a pure cash grab that benefits the already wealthy at the expense of the most vulnerable. Penny wise and pound foolish is its most charitable description.
Trump's foibles are well documented. Surely you must realize that he is turning the US into an international laughingstock instead of a respected leader of the free world. I suspect the only reason more international leaders aren't openly mocking him is that they are genuinely afraid Trump is mentally ill enough to end humanity by starting WW3 because NK's leader is equally batshit crazy. It's an utterly sad fucking commentary on the USA that someone like Trump could ever become president of the dominant economic and military power on the planet. Continued support of Trump, after all he's done in his months as president, most definitely is not an indictment of his detractors -- it's an indictment of his supporters.
