^ I wouldn't particularly agree with this, RL Clown. I've never had the impression that Trump's base are economic experts. Yes, low unemployment is definitely good, but this clip, which I hope is fairly unbiased, gives Trump a pretty mixed report:-
One prob with gauging economic performance is that you have to consider long-term cycles: what did this president inherit? what will he leave behind?
AFAIK, Trump will leave behind a 3 trillion dollar deficit to be paid off by taxpayers, a dirtier planet which will need cleaning up, and an America commited to old, dwindling fuel sources, lagging behind the rest of the world in alternative green technologies. IMO people who support Trump are confusing a short-term gain (mainly for the rich) with long-term economic health.
