A big improvement for the US, and also an improvement for Mexico. A very nice outcome to this trade deal with Mexico. Nice to see our country leveraging the fact that we're the largest economy in the world. Big win for anybody who understand US/Mexico trade. ...although I'm sure all the liberals will call it racist and find a way to trash it. China - your stock market is getting clobbered, and your economy is reeling. Take note and learn from Mexico... Stock market at an all time high, and GDP growth was over 4%...Trump is doing great work with the economy - there is simply no denying the results.
The US trade representative's office officially described the agreement as "a preliminary agreement in principle ... to update the 24-year-old NAFTA with modern provisions representing a 21st century." Simply stated.... the US Mexico Trade Agreement does not exist.... at least yet, and it probably never will because such an agreement would need congressional approval. Trump played you two today and made you think he actually can just snap his fingers and replace NAFTA overnight. The only news is that Trump’s admin and Mexico are talking... which is great, but it’s worth noting he’s talking to the incumbent president. That’s like Trudeau working on a deal with Obama just a couple months before Trump takes office. More than likely NAFTA will get some slight changes but ultimately look very similar after Canada inevitably joins. Which is what Trump should have done with Obamacare. Revise a few minor details, reinstitute risk corridors and call it Trumpcare. Let’s hope he’s learned his lesson with NAFTA. In the end though ... today was just a photo opp. A made for TV presidency and he played you two for fools that obviously don’t know a damn thing about trade or didn’t care to do a few minutes of homework on what actually happened today. But I’m sure you’ll respond back with a great “own the libs” statement you pulled from a MAGA Reddit thread.
...and as predicted, the liberals come in to try to downplay it. Stock market at an all time high, gdp up huge, trade deals falling into place. Quick, time for some Russia news on CNN! The liberals can’t handle all this success.
it was just another shiny object to divert attention away from the dotard's latest self-inflicted wound-----mishandling the passing of John McCain----showing how small he is, after WH had lowered the flag in memorial of John McCain, the draft-avoider ordered that the flag to be raised. after vociferous complaints from the American Legion and veteran groups, as well as Senator Johnny Isakson from Georgia, the dotard finally retreated. cult-follower Texx and the Russian troll got played.
funny how you weren't around when trade concerns initiated by trump tanked the market. and you won't be around during the next time the stock market tanks. Weak.
Poor Trump. He feels terrible for the previous shitshow he started before that he must create a new shitshow each day to cover up the previous. Its certainly not a reality TV circus atmosphere he's created duping the American people into ranting and raving over every stupid act he performs.
why does Trump get credit for something before it's done or for the work of the prior president? And whom will he blame when his tax cuts and trade wars lead to inflation which tanks the economy?
Obama really did some great work with this economic recovery from the last sh$&show of a Republican presidency. Trump fans should thank Obama every day that they inherited such a great economy.
What a sad, frustrated response from you. Bless your heart. So far the results has been a booming economy and an all time record stock market. Quite the opposite of what you’re suggesting. Open your eyes, kid. The economy is fantastic, thanks in large part to Trump’s actions.
Meanwhile Trump is fighting with his own fed to keep interest rates artificially low when they need to be raised to prevent burn out. If we have another slow down they are going to need to lower rates to juice up the market. Then there are the tax cuts paid for by the national credit card. Those cuts where the majority went to share buybacks for the wealthy to pay themselves some GOP donor relief. Not to mention economics 101 tells you to use tax cuts to jump start an economy during a downturn. You raise them during a upswing to pay down the deficit. Then there is the Trade War. A self inflicted crisis created to have a problem he might be able to solve all the while victimizing farmers and other trades accross the country. This blew up in his face already when he was forced to bail out farmers with a few billion in tax payer funds. The Trump admin is the most economically incompetent White House I’ve seen in my lifetime thus far, and that’s saying a lot given I lived through W who borrowed to finance two wars. Why did the national debt double when Obama came into office after his second year??.... (people don’t know this) because he added the debt borrowed from the wars to the national debt which is the fiscally responsible thing to do. We need Democratic leadership again quickly. After W and now Trump I think we all should understand who we all should trust with our national bank account.

Most of the job and boom came under Obama - so why don't you credit him for that? Trump tax cuts is causing another Republican made trillion dollar deficit, and likely will spike interest rates. Yield curve not looking too good either my friend. Your putting lipstick on a pig.
I'm not going to credit our natural boom and bust cycle to Obama or Trump. But the beginning of the boom began in 2013 which happens to coincide with Obama's Presidency. I'm sure if Mitt Romney was elected President, we would see similar numbers. People overvalue the President's effects on the economy. Trump goes to another level in attributing the state of the economy to himself. "If I leave, everyone will be poor". He's an idiot. I think what Trunp has taught everyone is that a litteral toddler could be the President of our country, and the economy would still be humming along during a boom.
There is little to attribute the success of the economy to one president over the other, but you sure can attribute a downturn in alot of cases. The book will be written about the Trump economy in 2020 most likely. All signs point to the fiscal irresponsibility taking its toll eventually, but its yet to be seen. Maybe corporations do so well they are forced to finally start paying everyone more & we see a wage increase finally & the GDP grows enough to start managing the deficit better by 2020. Who knows, but there are alot of "If's" and "buts". My prediction is that in the end Trump really didn't make that big of a difference but the fiscal irresponsibility compounds the issues we always have had with our economy since the Reagan era.... which is mostly income wealth in-equality, booming deficits that keep us from truly investing in healthcare & infrastructure, & the need to subsidize the low income workforce.
