WASHINGTON — There's really only one word —"boom!" — to describe the economic picture surrounding President Donald Trump 18 months away from the 2020 election.and hourly wages grew by two-tenths of a percent in April. The unemployment rate — 3.6 percent — is at its lowest level since December 1969, before the births of nine of the Democrats running for his job.
Trump's allies see a president who is competently leading the country in the right direction on jobs and the economy, the issues that typically matter most to voters, and a Democratic Party arguing for a 180-degree pivot at its own peril.
Under normal circumstances, a president riding these economic numbers would be coasting toward a sweeping re-election. "If Trump were to spend just one day a week and hammer the job numbers home, time and pressure would cause him to break through to move his approval rating upward," said Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist at Rokk Solutions who helped guide Neil Gorsuch's Supreme Court confirmation.
Pump a couple of $trillion$ into the economy and of course the numbers will bump up but it’s a false picture of economic health
it is not Trumps economy When Trump came to office the economy was ripe, all he did was harvest Obama’s economy Plus now the rich people who boycotted Obama’s presidency start spending their money. all these temp jobs created that only pays between $8&10.
The economy is roaring? Yeah right
Name ONE President who LOST re-election with a GREAT economy. I'll wait. Besides, the Leftists Democrats policies DON'T sit well with Americans The WORST people in politics with the WORST RECORD ( Congress 21%) are running for President. TRUMP2020 TRUMP2020LANDSLIDE
Who is benefiting from this economic boom? People are working 2 or 3 low paying jobs just to put food on the table young adults can’t afford to leave their parents house show me the receipts gas is at an all time high
Not to the democrat liberal idiots, they prefer mediocre at best lives
No but Putin will.
No.
Why wouldn’t he?
No, he’s just plain insane!
God I hope not
People working 2 or more jobs. Many pay still under $15. Health care endangered. Social services still being cut. How's our infrastructure? Racism /sexism, religious intolerance continues to rise Women health issues and protections being revoked. Ecological disaster accelerating
Darn, he’s so lucky with the timing of a good economy.
Trump’s economy?
Roaring for the 1 percent. Look at the stock market. It is anemic.
realDonaldTrump
Not his economy. He is not the reason. It’s at least the efforts of a multitude of things. But go ahead & bullshit another headline.
No and this article doesn’t help. He’s a traitor and a cancer to this country.
Trump should be ashamed to try and run in 2020.
All this money ,who feels richer honestly?
The economy has been growing every year for over a decade. Trump just stood back and let it grow.
Trump benefited quite a bit from the economy Obama left him
It’s not the economy stupid. Trump and his toadies are criminals and must be defeated.
Not with the corruption and his foreign policies failures along with his border policy
It’s Obama's economy! Really!
The economy is booming for some, a disaster for most. Second, how much of this is Trump's doing and how much is Obama's economy carrying through? The mainstream press once again veers right and provides Trump with unwarranted praise.
Really? For who? Sure as hell not for me or millions of others who are struggling to get by or all the homeless out on the streets, including veterans!
Ask the middle and working classes if it’s roaring!To pay for the tax cuts many deductions were eliminated and many in the middle found themselves having to owe more than was expected.Roaring?Housing and health costs have skyrocketed while wages have remained stagnant.Stopthemyth
Yes!
Donald Trump must go he's a terrible president impeachment must happen
Not trumps economy!
Yes sir!
Seriously!?! I see the pub’d digits [GDP, Unemplyment %, jobs, wages, taxes, old school products up vice modern] but plz any middle class American professional, family unit, salaries employee, hourly worker, local- state-fed taxes show me how it’s bettering you IjustDontSeeIt
Yes! He’s got my vote!
Roaring for who? Gas now over $3 gal where I live. Can't afford to see Dr because of my high deductible, buy food on sale only, work 2 jobs, have older used car, etc, etc, Me thinks things are great for 1%, who probably pay for these reports.
I believe numbers are being manipulated. Look into them.
Where are stats on who is profiting? The 1%? How many jobs created recently are part-time jobs? How many are full-time jobs that don’t provide a wage above the poverty level?
Roaring economy on the back of tripled deficits? It isn't going to be sustainable. It will crash before the next election. Trump will drag the country into bankruptcy just like what he did with his own business multiple times. BankruptcyKingDonald
Some DELIBERATELY tried to talk down economy in December. Shame on them.
Yes.
No. Democrats are fed up with the GOP and Trump. The Blue Wave is building up again.
I am optimistic because the USA was in a financial crisis in 2007. There was a presidential election in 2008. I will look at job numbers and the economy starting Summer 2020. I hope the good news continues up to and including Election2020 .
No.
The economy was roaring for 8 previous years and reached new highs in January -before lifting a pen in office .. luckily didn’t inherit the lows and roadblocks the previous administration had to deal with .. JoeBiden
HOPE NOT!!
Well..... that and the division in the Democratic Party.
He is a tyrant! Hell no. 😡
This is crap....Us normal folks are paying more for regular things and having less money to do it! THAT IS NOT WINNING!!!
No.
Economy wont.....LIBERAL MEDIA in “collusion” with the democrats will send our country into a recession, thinking it will help them win the presidency....VOTE REPUBLICAN AMARICA
So a roaring economy now means alot of people working but just barely making ends meet? I guess I'm looking for a thriving economy because roaring just isn't cutting it for me.
Chrisstto12 Russia 😂
Many people aren't getting raises. Also, the economy isn't a good indicator for success, because of its vulnerability. Wages haven't gone up with inflation for 30 years. Some are doing well; many are not. Never vote for a Republican people. Higher wages for 2020. Vote Trump OUT!
His knee won’t even be on the ballot
Yes
It's exactly like he, The PoTUS ( Payaso of The United States ) ALWAYS cries, ' FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS !!! ' RUHHH ROHHH !!
No they're not
Absolutely
Thanks Obama.
Roaring FOR WHOM, exactly? Stagnant wages. Bare bones healthcare - for those who have it. Massive, bigly, TREMENDOUS pay disparity, crippling student loan debt, time to re-evaluate “roaring”.
As the POTUS likes to say with no evidence, FAKE NEWS!
President Donald Trump's economy is meowing like a kitten, his trade war resulted in more losses than gains for US economy as a whole, many US industries suffered like automobiles, technologies, telecommunications and agriculture, voters from these sectors will not re-elect him.
President Trump has absolutely nothing to do with the economy he's only a sitting president in a great economy where companies businesses are going very good.
Its not his economy?
Doesn’t matter how good economy is if we are getting f**d with everything else ... literally
YES !
Only roaring for some Americans. Many still have 2, 3 jobs, expensive or no healthcare.
The World needs Trump not Obama or Clinton.
Minimum wage jobs with no benefits or security are roaring? You do mean the “mouse that roared”
So’s his deficit. Any fool can borrow to fund an economy. Doing it without borrowing is the difficult bit.
Nic nie ryczy. Wenezuela palestyna część Europy ma na myśli. To jego pomysły. Ciekawe zagadnienie.. Kto będzie chciał współpracować ze śmietniskiem stanów zjednoczonych po holokauscie po mordach wyżynaniu jak prosiąt niewinnych Palestyny Kurwa USA to nazistowska dziwka na posyłki
Hope it carries him back to NY.
Stop with the misleading headlines... roaring for whom?
Yes
In all fairness, you know you didn't think Trump would win in 2016... So what makes you think you're right now?
BS! It ain’t Trump’s economy! Your propaganda is destroying this country!
If you look at markets people it’s below dec 2017 is there nobody in journalism that is in stock market ?
Nope.
To quote a famous democrat “it’s the economy stupid”
What has Trump changed regarding the economy that Obama didn’t do?
Yes only if he stops talking about Russia and starts talking about the economy!
Yes it will
Thanks President Obama
It's not his economy thos is carry over from what President Obama put in place. This bum hasn't done anything for this country
Yes, it definitely will. To quote a famous Democrat, “It’s all about the economy, Stupid!” James Carville.
Thanks Obama
Hope so
Obama is still claiming this is HIS economy. Of course Obama blames Bush for the economy during his own 8-year term.
It didn't for Nixon. I'd caution the use of roaring, considering how many families tax returns went from refunds to owing thousands. Roaring for who?
ThanksObama
No! His lies will
F the job economy, We are getting weaker and weaker thanks to Putin playing Trump 🙄
Will Democrats “we hate Trump, Republicans, and everything they do to the exclusion of the economy” obsession carry them?
Bush wrecked the economy. Obama steered it in the correct direction. This idiot is destroying our economy. The media are so uneducated in economics that the populace is fooled into believing it’s a couple of buttons and switches and things improve.
Of course it will. That’s why his moron supporters like him. They can’t see the forest beyond the trees 😈
No
So sad that so many people think the economy is the only thing that makes our country great. Integrity means nothing, truth means nothing, equality means nothing and empathy means nothing. It's pathetic.
What has he done? Bankrupted farmers. Nothing going on in manufacturing. Coal miners still not working. Retailers selling foreign made goods doing well. He hasn’t opened up any new markets. This is bullshit.
I try my best to be honest and fair to all. President Trumps deserves credit as POTUS and give him mine.
It’s Obamas economy
'If real growth does reach 4.5% in the second quarter, that would be terrific. Just as terrific as the 4.6% growth in the second quarter of 2014, and almost as good as the 5.2% growth in the third quarter of 2014.'
He is such a loathsome and pathetic human being I’m not so sure it will.
It will roar without him also .. but Trump has put America in a lot of debt too
Roaring economy has only resulted in increased prices for just about everything. I make the same but it costs more for the same things i already had.
He is still winning
No! truthmatters
Oh, hell no.
economy =/= quality of life. the former works for CEOs, the latter is what we care about
Can’t make up for all the other crap he’s doing
Not if you can help it, right NBC?
Would you vote Democratic even if means that the economy would collapse and your unemployed
The real question is what is Trump doing that no other human being can do? The economy does what the economy will. He's not The Wizard of Oz, pulling levers and blowing smoke. I daresay that Trump has nothing to do with whatever the economy is doing. But he takes all the credit.
We don’t have to go through this for some good numbers. Environment regulations gone. Kids in cages. Health care costs up. Cruelty at every level. And our democracy is hanging on a thread. We are being invaded by a foreign adversary. The economy is working for ultra rich
Roaring for whom? DumpTrump2020
And hear we go
If it doesn’t we are living in the dumbest most asinine Nation on this planet
How did he influence the economy. He can’t even count. The growth started before he took office. Thank Obama.
Thanks Obama!!
Trumps economy I don’t think so it’s President Barack Obamas economy
Define 'roaring' and for whom.
WOULD YOU WANT TO TRADE ALL THIS GREAT ECNOMY FOR DEMOCRATS CRAZY NOTHING TO OFFER . IF THATS WHAT YOU CHOOSE THEN YOUR AS CRAZY AS THEM . THIS COUNTRY IS IN THE GREATEST SHAPE ITS EVER BEEN IN FOR MANY YEARS . HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE ON PERFECTION ? DEM CAN’T.
Isn't that wonderful that the economy is roaring! Thank you, President Donald J.Trump for keeping America safe and great!!
Must have absolutely KILLED you guys to write this tweet.
It’s roaring in spite of Donald.
It's not trumph's economy!
has anyone got a good answer why trump can share the mueller report with putin but congress still has to fight to see it .. that in its self tells who controls America
Trump's mouth roars more.
Yes
Yup, money talks
No He will. Trump 2020🇺🇸
Roaring? Bit of an over reach.
No
It is not Trump’s economy. Trump inherited a roaring economy. His policies will bring it down. The debt and trade deficits are unsustainable. The medical care situation and student debt crisis are unsustainable. Just a matter of time.
Ask Powell. If he raises interest rates, it’s over. Simple
Yep Trump2020 🇺🇸
I think it will depend on which one of the 25 democrats gets nominated and whether a third independent candidate runs. There are some scenarios where Trump matches up better than others.
Hell no!!!!
Yes
Yep. Trump2020
Liberals resound: “No.” just like they didn’t even think he’d beat HRC in the electoral college
Wait until the crash. It will happen. Wall Street has no more regulations. History WILL repeat itself like the times of G.WBush.
who is actually benefitting from said roaring economy? has he eliminated the deficit yet?
Yes!
Yes!
Hopefully
Big time. Screw all the loser trolls in this comment section
Gas is rising and so is the cost of living. This 'roaring' economy only helps the rich.
Except it's NOT trump's economy. Any President, Republican or Democrat, taking credit for the economy is completely full of shit.
Hell yes.
NO
Not if you guys have anything to say about it!
Roaring 😂😂😂 which one is it ,?
No
No way. realDonaldTrump
It will be like Venezuela. This is good example of socialism in action
The Democrats are very ungrateful people. They very sad now that US president is not traitor, the sad that economy is good, but they says that middle class is still suffering, and they will do it much better. First thing Democrats will increase taxes and split money. It will
NO.
It’s not “Trump’s” economy it is our economy. Let’s move on and get some things done.
You're damn right it will but you guys won't cover it I'll be surprised if you cover the actual election
trump2020
BS!
Why do you call it his economy? Get real. NotTrumpsEconomy NotMyPresident
Oh yeah!! Keeping America Great!!🙏🏽🇺🇸❤👍👍🙋♂️
Trump’s economy is not roaring for the majority of Americans.
Yes it will!! And also the stupidity of the out-of-touch-with-Americans Democratic Party led by the Chuck & Nancy sideshow.
No he is still deranged and a threat to the country
No.
Excuse me, it’s President Obama’s economy. Trump hasn’t screwed it up yet, but he will.
Uuhmm.... Stalled Tariffs?.. Bankrupting the Farmers? 22Trillion$ NationalDebt? Largest budgetDeficit? to cut the Medicare & the Social Security benefits?. In this present economy, it is mostly the wealthy that benefits.. The Wealth Inequality/Gap have widen than ever.
The United States economy, thank you. Truth matters.
Lol it’s not his economy. It’s the result of the economic recovery act and the country recovering from the last disastrous republican presidency.
His admin has done nothing for the state of the economy-it’s surviving by itself. What is soaring is the level of WH lies, deception, corruption, and unethical obstruction. His lack of integrity is tearing at the core of our democracy.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸go potus GO!!!!!!!
In a word- yes
Inherited economy
For who? People with enough money to play with the stock market? The economy isn’t helping paycheck to paycheck families. Neither are trumps tax cuts for the wealthy. Trickle down economics is a lie rich people thought up to make themselves richer.
It's Obamas work he's riding on.
And the democrats are attempting to destroy our robust economy. What a shameful use of congressional power
Obamas economy.
it's roaring for the top 1%......everyone else can go to hell......
Propaganda Corruption Traitor
ROARING!? For whom? We are $22 trillion in debt and falling harder. Yes, this will carry Trump to the 2020 Election. I suggest people look at this debt clock for at least 20 - 30 minutes. See how good realDonaldTrump & the GOP will do in 2020.
Not a chance. Ask the farmers how they’re doing.
Sorry, but there is nothing this economy could do that would make me vote for Trump in 2020!
Trumps economy? Shouldn’t it be America’s economy? He’s Putin’s butt buddy. He doesn’t give a shit about America!
“Trump’s economy” what did he do? Why would the NBC News give DJT the headline for this questionable roaring economy? The teporter needs to interview some of the common people about this roaring economy. Price any vegetables lately?
Throw a TRILLION at the economy, Obama did that Exact thing to turn the 'Great Recession' around. Tea Party(Ryan) was born attacking Obama for doing that. Yet, here GOP IS doing the SAME thing. The diff being Obama turned the bad Economy around This for Wall St. n 1%ers only.
No it will not carry him anywhere. Anything good is under a pile of crap that Moron Trump brought upon himself. The USA cannot survive another 4 years of bullshit! Besides he had conversations about the Mueller report with Putin Before the Congress. That’s Treasonous to me!!
FOOL HE'S DRIVING OUR COUNTRY TO BANKRUPTCY!!!
Yes because people have numerous jibs to survive
NOPE!!!!!
Democrats would wish every American was out of work if it meant they could get at Trump. A free market economy works.
The economy is being propped up by massive tax breaks to 1% and corporations, record DoD spending and massive debts racked up in just two years. C'mon we're not stupid. Do Better! EconomyTruth 2006AllOverAgain
Highly doubtful, as long as he continues to behave like a schmuck.
Hopefully not. He’s a terrible leader.
Yup.
Just up a hair from Obama
Not Trump’s economy by any stretch of the imagination. Like all of his business deals he’ll figure out a way to fuck it up though. Only difference will be he can’t sue or file for bankruptcy.
Economy is not roaring! Unemployment rate is misleading. Low wage jobs maybe abundant but middle class is shrinking. Trump's policies has done nothing to regular people. The riches and corporation have benefited but they don't give back to people.
Truly his steady hand and careful, deliberate, and consensus-oriented approach has led us to this fine moment. Yes, we all know it is Trump’s economy because... uh... he’s a deeply-read thinker? Or maybe correlation doesn’t equal causation.
Roaring for the top 1 percent.
Get the story correct, he inherited Obama’s economy.
For creating dead end jobs ?
He’s definitely going to try to take credit for it. I swear, the devil is on his shoulder.
No. Jobs s may be up but hourly wage is stagnant. How many people are holding done 2 or more jobs to make ends meet? What about the farmers? What about the miners? What about the auto workers? One number does not a story make.....
Yup
'OMG, our house burned down! But look, the car survived! How exciting! In fact I'm so excited about the car surviving that I don't even need a house anymore!' --some dipshit
Trump can't get past his 52+ percent negative approval among voters. No matter what the economy does. Trump is toast.
Soaring for Russia and the 1%.
Yeah why don’t you check your 401k first
Yes. Bigly.
Hell no
For who? The 1% maybe, but for me and the folks I work with, for my neighbors, and for our families-we’re still struggling. We paid MORE in taxes, we pay more for gas, more for housing, more for medical care. Who is on our side Not the Cult of 45!!!
Fake evonomy will crash soon
Who cares if all he does is LIE !!!
Money is NOT more important than our country.
this is NOT Trumps economy, this economy was a handoff from you know who. This idiot couldn't run a hotdog stand and is clearly riding the coattails of a former great leader!
Silent majority will speak the loudest.
WELL SINCE HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING, HOW CAN IT BE HIS, HE WATCHES TV,TWEETS, RALLIES, GOLF, PEOPLE ARE TRUSTING AGAIN BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS CAN'T JUST DO WHATEVER THEY WANT
just saw teachers in fla are making 32k a year... wtf with this headline?
DON'T FORGET, ECONOMIC RECOVERY STARTED WAY BEFORE TRUMP.
Unless u want it to go back to where it was or worse, u better vote Trump2020
Trump's economy is making the rich richer and rest of the population poor.
The Corporatocracy will spend as much as they can to stay in power. They own the networks, the stock market and the government. It’s will take a BlueWave2020 BlueTsunami2029 to change it.
MAGA2020
Winning Jobs TRUMP2020Landslide
It’s positive to name and confront your fears I’m told. Congrats.
Obama's economy has been hard to kill, but Trump is getting there. Even the Chief Economist knows a recession is just around the corner.
no
No
The benefits are only going to a few, FYI.
Let's face it. He inherited a quickly rising economy and when you look at it he did little to contribute to its continued rise. For the most part who the President does not have a lot of bearing on it. Bush largely not to blame for the Great Recession either.
Yes
....ECONOMY..UNEMPLOYMENT.. ARE JUST COASTING OFF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS !!!!
NYET GreatShallBeHerFall.... Rev18 MysterybabylonTheGreat = MAGA
It’s really not his economy. President Obama set the economy on the path to success . Trump just inherited a economy that has been growing since 2009. If Russia had not help trump. Trump is not the real president,Hillary is.
No !!!!! The man is a dishonest crooked liar !!!! I want a president who you can looked at who puts the country First not himself !! Someone you can and want to respect !!
I’m actually considering leasing out my ranch in the Texas Hill Country and going back to work in the oil fields in midland. It’s booming.
Thanks to BarackObama
No
They lie about everything. I don't trust the numbers. Inventories are building and materials companies are having weak demand. I am not convinced.
The Trump train is going to run over all those Democrat clowns, ahahaha....can't wait for the liberal tears .... muhaha muhaha muhaha!!!!!!!
Not a chance.
Roaring for top 1% and big cooperation...
Goosed with bills due after 2025 by design. Personal income tax rates will roll back to previous levels. Deficit spending at typical GOP record levels. ...but realDonaldTrump VP deficits are largest ever by any country per capita. FAIL
I must be living on an alternate Earth because I'm not feeling the effects of this 'roaring economy'. Everything costs more in my world. 🙃
More than likely, not even an hour ago I had a convo with an African American nurse that served jail time and now has $18hr job and she says yes
No it's not. Any numbers coming out of this administration are lies. fabrication.
Come on people, Trump owes too much money to those in Russia, stop waiting for Trump too stand up to Putin/Russia, hell people,didn't Trumpa marry two r three Russian decent women, what the hell does rhat tell u about where his heart and mind lays.America has beautiful women,Why?
Beware of a roaring economy...better to be slow and steady.
No it’s Not! If that was the case the feds would have raised rates.
that's why we elected him, dummies. you know; the supposed smelly Walmart, less educated ones...hehe ; ) you ObamaCommieKult elites just kill me..!
Easy to do when your riding on someone else's coattails, but then Trump is working overtime to kill everything he inherited so I won't expect he can maintain for much longer especially if he adds to his horrendous tax plan for the wealthy again.
At what cost is Trump’s economy soaring?
Roaring for who?
YES! It’s always about the economy stupid.
Yep. TRUMP2020Landslide
