Joe: Slow GDP Growth Undermines What Trump Says About His Success | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Tell the GOParty of Cowards, “Thank you for being there to Let (US) down. we will vote you out for the support you gave (US) during the Trial.
Trickle-down economics does not work, and never has, and never will
@Joel Sattler good point Joel…the problem with that statement though is that there are so many people who want Big Daddy government to take care of them.
There are many people who have not done so well in business because of all the regulations…there are people who are in this country illegally who have sucked the life out of our resources depriving Americans of help when they truly need help…workfare instead of welfare…
I could go on forever…Trump inherited a mess…hopefully he can make our country stronger and help people who legitimately need help.
@Astra talk about verbosities & ranting boolschit..hit the edit button and simplify your noise…so at least the low information Sheeple on this channel can understand your cacophonic symphony of regurgitation…PLEASE!
@Mama Warbucks Ad Hominem’s are sometimes just evidence of an opponent’s inability to argue information more factual. You want to insult my statement because you cannot argue it very logically. Meaning that the statement is all the more likely to be correct. Thank you for sharpening my point.
@Astra I actually laughed myself silly while typing that response …too much energy spent on today’s news concerning the Senate…when I get the energy I will re read your dissertation & respond accordingly…sorry if I hurt your feelings…😒💤💤💤
Trump word is nothing he is Propaganda 🙋♀️
as you believe msnbc? they’ve literally been wrong about everything bc orange man bad! lol you’re a gullible moron. Have fun after trump is re-elected
Javier J <<<< This is a Fake Page Moron Troll. 🚨
Ice 247 <<<====this is a loser who can’t take the fact that you’ve been crying since 2016 when Hilary lost. Get over it
he is a fascist. SO MUCH LIKE HITLER.
The economy is going to tank under Trumpian economics. It will be a recession that will make others pale in comparison.
@Raoul Fleckman It seems to be a trumpian trope. I’ve stopped trying to talk reality and sense to them. Their lights are on but nobody’s home.
@Mine Finder Who brought the Global Financial Crisis back in 2008? Remember it?
The neo-liberal policies by Bush Jr. from 2000 to 2008 cause the global crisis.
Obama had to clean up the mess, correct the mistakes and errors made by the Bush clan. And he did it ㅡ with flair and gusto.
Which is why the economy has been so good so far.
It is just like the Clinton Boom in the 90s. Reagan did it; Clinton inherited Reagan’s overhauled economy. And he did lead it to full bloom, with flair and gusto, as well.
To be able to understand this story is the most critical litmus test of a person’s intellect.
The words “strong economy” are used to describe how financially great it has been for the wealthy and large corporations. Goodness knows Trump does not care about Americans not in that monetary category.
If you were rich when Donald Trump took office
you are now twice as rich.
So vote for Socialism if you think that would work better…I choose free market capitalism & to address head on the problems that we are faced with like out of control Spending more than Revenue via Congress & the POTUS…getting rid of programs that are not necessary…creating workfare instead of terminal welfare…competition based healthcare insurance …educational programs for the trade professions..etc.etc..smaller Federal Gov …there is lots wrong & I believe if the Partisan warring would stop we could change things for the better…at least for the next generation…
FALSE
@Lawrence Benton was that contesting what I said with a one word reply that represents the entire Radical Statist Left Wing Progressive Socialist Party response to any comment from a voter you happen to disagree?
Better still.. keep any additional seconds of brain activity to yourself..🙉💤💤
Now that everyone can see the ignorance of trump,does anyone have even have the vaguest idea of what vladimir putin has on him.
@Wrangler 4×4 no the only interference that happened in 2016 was democrats being so worthless that people were crazy enough to try Trump.
@Barry O According to the Mueller report the Russians definitely assisted Dolnald Chump, lol. Just admit it, lol
@Mama Warbucks The two investigations that were done by the FBI
@Al Shabob Yawn. Typical tactics. What? Russia? NOT Russia. The UKRAINE!!! Look over there. NOTHING to see in Russia.
Just watched a financial video about the Fed extending a deadline that the experts were saying is helping to create a “bubble” — Gee… I wonder why the Fed would be trying to PROP up the economy right now?
Call your GOP Senators:
“Hello I am planning to vote for you next election. I would like you to do me a favor tho….. Stand by your oath…”
@Al Shabob Putin is on his way out , he just doesn’t know it yet.
…and Balance the Budget Congress & Mr. POTUS…you all are responsible for Spending more than Revenue!
OH, we would have to import from a far off planet….some where in the TWILIGHT ZONE.
That school is an old worn hat of continuous repetition..
There was NO QUID pro quo..duh…but there was most definitely a QUID PRO JOE…how about that?
Go back to sleep Sheepster…
We should have known that this roaring economy talk was bogus. This is a methanol gas administration. And the source of the gas that this administration runs on is BS.
Today should be the day Americans flood the streets of every city. We’re not watching a trial…we’re watching the funeral of democracy.
We’ll wait till November and see what happens then.
@carolyn boyd We mustn’t give up . November is coming. I still have faith in my fellow Americans.
@El Cruzer55 Yeah……
So do I……
Given the “crashing thud”, WE have accomplished…..😉
😂
you might look at it this way….maybe it is ‘HIS’ strongest economy ever- his PERSONAL strongest economy ever , unfortunately at the expense of country’s assets
6 bankruptcies, 3 on the same property and he doesn’t believe in debt ceilings. Who’s going to clean up his mess.
andrea Perry probably our great grandchildren x6
we haveto cheat too. yes democrats lets cheat
@Rip Off Ikr? I’m sick of “going high” because they’re ALWAYS “going low” Let’s CHEAT.
What happened to the party of law and order ? Now that we are under a wannabe dictator by the trump
cindy clarke Trump exposed what Republicans really have been all along.
Trump and Mitch are returning the courts to the rule of law. 187 judges and 2 supremes. After this fake impeachment and trial nonsense it’s back to real business.
The Economy has been growing for more than a decade at this point.
Trump’s just been riding off Obama’s coattails.
All the while making a recession all the more likely.
@Mine Finder : Obama lowered the Deficit.
@TheBestWayOne you seem intent on subjugating your views on where we get our sources from so do please share with us YOUR source of information..so we don’t rely so much on one sided slanted stories.
Mine Finder 72 straight months of growing economy under Obama. Cut unemployment in half. Trump hasn’t done anything close to that
TheBestWayOne nah you’re just fooled by the ignorant rhetoric spewed on fox
Looks like the waves of Obama’s highly succesfull economy finally has faded away.
And once again, the “stock market” is *not* the economy.
Look at the real numbers instead, folks.
and as far as right leaning…i am an Independent Voter who does my,research & homework taking all sides into consideration…mate🙉👈
@Mama Warbucks like what?
@Mama Warbucks whats with tha mate and emojis
@craig blyth you referred to me as mate & dude…check your writing and the emoji is me not caring to listen anymore…covering my ears…i’ve heard enough for one day…on overload …ciao dude 🤓
@Mama Warbucks wow starts an accusation but when facts are thrown back to yo ..doesn’t want to know …and calls himself an independent…. “i am an Independent Voter who does my,research & homework taking all sides into consideration.”..but yet when facts are shown to you you run away and refuse to answer my question…simple, you said “i stated that not all sources are in agreement with the site you got your info from…there are other sources who differ in their info”…..i asked you which ones….still waiting
Just like all of Trump’s businesses he will fail with the American economy.
@Raoul Fleckman That is funny. The Bushes didn’t divest, Carter didn’t. In fact name ONE President who divested from all businesses! There is NO LAW REQUIRING IT!! I am amazed how little you guys know about the Constitution!
@Common Sensei The fact he and other political leaders (republican or democratic) have failed within the emoluments clause does not prove that Trump is a successful business man. He has declared bankruptcy 6 times. I am an American. I have not declared once. You know he has about as much money as I do!! Its just he has borrowed and credited all over the world. Look, he cant borrow money in America because he is bankrupt. He owe Putin and pays with Americans. Its so sad you cannot see Trumps true and complete financial failure. So sad people are so easy.
@Bru Dog You don’t even READ the Emoluments Clause!! 😆 The Emuluments Clause does NOT forbid business, ir forbids BRIBES!! You guys are SO IGNORANT!!
@Common Sensei Here is a few “success” stories: Trump casinos in Atlantic city, Trump vodka, Trump airlines, USFL, Trump university and let’s not forget The dis banded Trump Foundation. All bankrupt or disbanded.
Also, his beautiful strong wall was just blown away by a gust of wind.
Did the wall get cancer?
saw that ,gave me a well needed laugh.

Can someone tell the Donald the free ride is over, president Obama’s economy had run its course making u look good, but it’s done finito, final you’re on your own. America will go bankrupt just like his fail business deals. He’s not a deal maker.
Of Course. He was riding on the wave of Obama’s economic programs. That wave is slowing down…the effect of Trump’s policies are starting to be revealed…and our tremendous debt will finish us off. Thanks Donnie.
Obama might as well have never existed. Trump is removing his legacy one brick at a time. And saving the Republic.
@bingbonga bingaThe Republic of Russia maybe Comrade .
