What has Trump done to improve the lives of average Americans?

All I hear about is the economy and jobs. What has Trump done, since being in office, that has contributed to a good economy and creating more jobs? What kind of jobs? Where exactly is all of this manufacturing pouring in that Trump keeps mentioning?

Trump only worked on killing ACA his first year. Then stimulated the economy 2.2 trillion dollars later. Wouldn't any president receiving that kind of stimulus pop the economy? Didn't Trump inherit a good economy from Obama? Do you remember the economy that Obama inherited? Didn't Obama save us from a major recession?

This is what I see that he's done for the average person:
Consumers have paid over $12B due to tariffs
Economy has lost $7B because of them
We've paid farmers $12B because of bad tariff policies
We've paid over $120M for Trump's vacays.

What is your opinion of the record breaking national debt created by Trump?

Everyone I know is saying their paycheck is the same but every expense is up from health insurance, food, taxes, gas, utilities...

So, how has Trump improved your life as an average American?

He has ushered in a period of hatred for immigrants and embraced white supremacists. He has continued Obama's robust economy and it has continued to improve in the short term. With the ballooning debt, the long-term outlook is poor. He has done nothing to improve my life in any way, and more importantly, he has made my children's and grandchildren's lives worse in the future.

@windinhishair Embrace that inner rage-monster. Amuse me, peasant.

[@Sickdumbandignoran] You seem to feed off your own hate, which you consume with relish and find delicious. Run along son, and take you hate and vitriol with you.

He’s shown everyone how flawed the American voting system is. Hopefully this can lead to change so that someone like him is never elected again.

I think he’s also shown us that the President has far too much power and - for certain times like treason - should not be treated as being above the law while in office.

My powers of finding silver linings is strong. 😉

everything is smoke and mirrors. his big push on coal did nothing. the jobs he touted as returning either a past governor or president already brought back, he has disgraced us in the eyes of the world. and he has destroyed the economyy of my future progeny.he has done nothing for me but give me a great laugh reading his twitter feed.

If you have to ask this question- either you have not been paying attention, or you oppose Trump no matter what he does.

@LonelyMan I'm glad your situation is better. Trump's America Alone policy will hurt the nation and our former allies will find other allies they can trust.

Are you saying your financial situation didn’t get better while Obama was in office? If not, what did trump specifically do to make your financial situation better?


[quote]I have peace of mind knowing we no longer have a President who favors other countries over America [/quote]
I’m pretty sure trump favors Russia over America…


[quote]nor does he want to okay killing babies.[/quote]

How do you know he doesn’t kill babies? There are 1475 migrant children missing. Where are they and how can you guarantee their safety?

But yeah ....everything else is ok

I won't mention names but someone posted a meme on this post... Check it out and try to read it without laughing.

Ummm, who wants to tell her? Wow! Just wow! They really do live in an alternate universe.

Wow, after all the good news over the weekend,
I bet you feel kind of foolish asking this question, eh?
For the first time ever in my working and taxpaying life of 30 plus years, I’m on a payment plan with IRS...and I didn’t earn as much as I did the previous couple of years. My med insurance premium still goes up every year while the coverage keeps going down. But my property value has climbed and my 401K is doing great.
I always like how the government, regardless of administration's, likes to talk about the lower unemployment. And then they change the way they count it. We leave lowest number since 1969. But we dont count the people that stopped looking for work
