T-rump fails to bring the economy to 4% growth
During his campaign promises in 2016, Trump promised he could get the economy to record 4% annual growth, if not higher. Said the future fascist dictator just weeks before the election to a crowd in Las Vegas:
"We're bringing it (the GDP) from 1 percent up to 4 percent. And I actually think we can go higher than 4 percent. I think you can go to 5 percent or 6 percent."
Yes - 4 % on the low end, 6% on the high..5% average.
Under his first year in office - 2017 - the economy grew 2.3%, less than half of what he promised 'on average'.
So far for 2018, we're stuck at 2.3% - again, a far cry from 4 - 6%. Economists believed the economy would grow 2.9% in the first quarter of 2018...not a measelu 2.3%.
It's time to get this liar out of office. He can't achieve one of his campaign promises.
