Usually American Preident’s get a good political tail wind with a good economy…
Not Donald Trump…
Why Not?
Is it that most people don’t believe that the economy is strong?
Or is it Trump himself?
A 2017 Tax Cut/Giveaway and a Tax Increase called a Trade War ain’t helping things, either ….
The solid economy is doing little to bolster support for President Donald Trump.
Americans give Trump mixed reviews for his economic stewardship despite the growth achieved during this presidency, according to a new survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Nearly two-thirds describe as “good” an economy that appears to have set a record for the longest expansion in U.S. history, with decade-long growth that began under Barack Obama. More people consider the economy to be good today than did at the start of the year.
But significantly fewer approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, even as it remains a relative strength compared with other issues. The survey indicates that most Americans do not believe they’re personally benefiting from his trade policies. And only 17% said they received a tax cut, despite government and private sector figures showing that a clear majority of taxpayers owed less after the president’s tax overhaul passed in 2017….
Actually,this is pretty incredible .
I guess “it’s the economy my stupid” is no longer as sacrosanct as it once was.
Not in Trump’s case….
I’m the group that does NOT believe things are as ‘rosey’ as the bean counters say it is….
Many of us feel the tax increases, NOT any ‘good’ economy
This is what Republicans get for sitting silently while Trump lied in 2016 saying the “real unemployment rate” was 25, 34, 42%
Outside of his Republican base no one trusts him or gives him credit on the veconony.
