President Trump said, 'The United States is in the midst of an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before.' The problem is growth statistics just don't show it.

Just last week, addressing the world's economic elite in Davos, Switzerland, the president claimed,"The United States is in the midst of an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before."The problem is, growth statistics just don't show it.In the third quarter of 2019, the economy grew at 2.1%, not the 3, 4, even 5% the president promised from his tax cuts and deregulation.

"Looking ahead, we expect GDP to slow markedly in Q1," the economists at High Frequency Economics wrote to clients, citing Boeing's decision to halt 737 Max production in January.Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has acknowledged that Boeing's Max crisis will ding economic growth, maybe as much as half-a-percentage point this year. And now the coronavirus outbreak is a new uncertainty.

I just want the media to be consistent if they are going to call the realDonaldTrump economy a boom they have to call the BarackObama economy a boom not counting 2009 or 2010 of course msnbc foxnews cnbc nytimes TheDemocrats Business joebiden

What a day to wake up to. A corrupt president is exonerated and BREXIT. Anyone know if Mars is ready yet?

CNN just refuse to see it.Guess CNN's ladyboy reporters are too busy laughing at Trump supporters! Not good for your ratings...lying,gossiping and slandering will cause CNN to slide further down and lose the trust of the public including world audience!

Maybe the stock market is doing well, but I am not getting richer from that. What I’m seeing is major stores closing a third of their locations. Maybe that’s Amazons fault. However, many restaurants are closing locations. That means people don’t have extra income to go out!

U no he over exaggerates everything.

I’m having the best year of my life at work, only problem is my numbers don’t show it

Oh, you mean he lied?

Obama did not get our economy where it is today, President did. There are jobs, but people can’t expect to bring in $100K a year at a hot dog stand. What you earn depends on what you have to offer. If it means learning a trade or changing one, then do it.

Trump MF joker

Here is the problem.

Trump is the biggest liar the likes of which the world has never, never, never ever seen. Nothing he says can be trusted. Ever!

Somebody's employing all these people to drive employment to record highs and unemployment to record lows.

He’s lying, shocker 🙄

You should be headlining, “the trouble is, it’s just not true.” Why does the media have such a hard time calling him what he is? A liar 🤥!

Are they statics compiled by the same people that did the polls that predicted Hillary by a landslide?! “Alex give me bullshit for $500”

The problem is only CNN doesn’t see it!! Now the world can clearly understand why you have no viewers. Only CNN sees USA differently. We have Don Lemon belittling Trump supporters and now the US economy is bad too? Where are you? In MARS? Is it the hatred of Trythst drives you?

Easy to cherry pick numbers. He’s prolonged the wait until the next recession. Historically, recessions have occurred every 9 years.This economy has now been on the increase for 11 and doesn’t appear to be slowing down. Maybe you guys should watch CNBC Squak Box instead of TMZ.

It saddens the world how CNN has changed to an all time high liars,everyone watches the impeachment trial but CNN will still twist every argument made there,WHY?

Clinton had a surplus. All this clown can do is run up debt.

in the midst , say this a few times, then Google it, It means IN THE MIDDLE, that is where we are right in the middle of something GREAT and CNN is NOT anywhere close to the Middle, Everything Hangs a little Left at CNN ,(think)

Fake news !

Of course CNN is PRAYING for a major recession to happy any day now because they hate Trump so much which means they defacto hate Americans.

Is it possible he can also influence Wall Street to lie.

But he said it so it has to be true, right? He is a great business man so he would know.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If the facts don't back him up why do you repeat his lies? Just say 'Trump added to the ever growing list of lies today. If he ever speaks the truth we are ready to report.'

Wait, so realDonaldTrump lied? I’m shocked 😱

We all know he's lying...

FakeNewsCNN the place Facts go to Die

The only economic growth is that of your debt 😅

Fake news

The fake news just won't stop.

growth [ɡroʊθ](사람·동식물의)성장 statistic [stəˈtɪstɪk] statistics 통계(자료) boom 호황 The United States is in the midst of an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before. The problem is growth statistics just don't show it.

16 000+ lies and counting.

I have the best words, nobody has better words. Shakespeare never had such good words.

The United States is in the midst of having an absolute idiot as President realDonaldTrump , like the world has never seen before.

What a lie 🤣🤣

Is this what we call booming economy? $59,0000

Lol

Inveterate liar that is Trump!

So he...lied? Is it really so hard to put that in a headline ?

There you go bragging on yourself again

Illusions

No Dem can win against this economy, so the media has to tear it down and convince people it’s not *actually* booming.

No. The problem is that Trump is a lying pig.

So why we running trillion dollars annual budget deficit supposed to fix the roof when sun shining

Everything is like you’ve never seen before

Oh yes Donald. I don’t know what to do with the $3 increase in SS

Lie

Wait... are you saying that President Trump LIES?

Chase bank planning to lay-off employees

Poor CNN....

it’s just more lies, and his exaggeration this is how trump pretends to know how to fix things . What is our national debt today? 22.5 trillion . Raised 2 trillion since he’s been in office. The biggest lie by Trump is he promised to lower the National debt. Look it up...Impeach!

The president lies are the most important thing he has he had no truth he probably explode give us what Bolton sighs you afraid of what he has what you said that he will say you said you should be

“The likes of which the world has never seen” Where have I heard that phrase before?

Well, facts are not his strong suit.

lightningwincup

CNN = negative Nancy on anything red.

My wallet and retirement show it.

This guy is a dreamer, and not a beautiful one either! Starlight and dewdrops Won’t be awaiting thee, for sure!!

Imagine that. Lie what?

But just take his word for it. Trump can do anything he wants, it will be the best thing that the world has ever known, and If you doubt this you’re treasonous. So really, you have no other choice other than to believe in Trumps lies.

Narrator: he’s lying.

I bet he also said, “Trump University is in the midst of a student boom the likes of which the world has never seen before.'

Another lie, what about his national debt, and what about him Wanting to cut social security the only people doing well is the wealthy, I struggle every day

He's delusional

He was just kidding ... again!

acoyne You are like the pointless CBC in Canada. No one watches due to the fake news and views.

What he meant was economy BOOM! , Not economy boom .

So sez TrumptyDumpty.

Lie

The impeach guy is sick in the head, he talk a lot of crap

Deficit set to roll $1 trillion this year. Trillion with a T.

CNNFakeNews

DonLemonTheDumbestManOnTV

Is it possible realDonaldTrump doesn’t know what the word “boom” means? Narrator voice: “Yes, yes it is.”

On the top is from 2009 to 2018 On the bottom is from 1920 to 1929 right before the economic collapse. Things are getting ready to go boom..... Just saying

Can’t dispute facts in this article, look them up, GDP not paying for tax cuts, deficit is booming.

thats only cause its in his head

When your supporters are ignorant--you can make whatever claims you want.

Really GDP growth exceeded 3%. Obama NEVER exceeded 3% growth in a year during his presidency. Lowest unemployment rate - 3.5% - in 60 years. 6.3 million people have dropped off welfare. Lowest unemployment rates for minorities. First decrease in GDP to debt ratio in 20 years.

Trump should create a network called TNN. That way we'll have all our 'facts' in one place.

Oh shut up CNN. You people over there are fools.

Who cares!! Is still great

CNN likes the days of low GDP stock market everyday headed down jobs leaving for other countries companies leaving for over regulation The leftist activist propaganda network is showing why their ratings are in the tank!!!😝😝😝

CNN hopes the economy goes bad. Enemy of America

Right. Obama did better.

Yeah, yeah and it will all trickle down. Maybe biggest boom ever as the 1% cash in all their chips before the climate crisis hits the fan. But only a very small number of people are doing good. Trump just happens to be friends with them, so all is well I guess.

The economy is not CNN ratings. Better check again.

He lies like a rug.

Could you imagine being the business correspondent for CNN!!! ulcer medicine is not enough to have to report such historical accomplishments the Donald has produced. Lol cnn should cut out their business editorial

The more he exaggerates, the more he's lying.

این حرف اگر درست باشد یعنی بخاطر فرار مالباتی آمار درست نیست.

I'm still working 3 jobs....

Wrong consumers confidence is up. Job creation is up. unemployment is low. Can’t stand you people you literally lie all the damn time now
