Economy Slowing Because of Trump


Second-quarter economic growth plummeted to 2.1%.

Average hours worked in manufacturing in July sank to the lowest level since 2011.

Real wages are only slightly above their level a decade ago, before the Great Recession.

Real investment as a percentage of gross domestic product is well below levels in the late 1990s, despite a tax cut allegedly intended to spur business spending, but which was used mainly to finance share buybacks instead.

Job growth is slowing.

And Trump is bankrupting the country when he added $2 trillion to the deficit by giving himself and his super rich friends a tax cut.

More people lost health insurance. Life expectancy is down.

Trade deficit is still not down like Trump promised.

China ditched American farmers for Russian and Venezuelan farmers.

Trump's 1940s economic ideas were dumb and now America will pay the price. Bring back coal. LOL.

Trump’s mismanagement of the economy is monumental

Trump is an utter moron and an embarrassment to our country. The whole world is laughing at him. This is obvious to everyone except his gullible supporters.

It's sad that anyone is stupid enough to believe in Trump.
