It's...not...a mild trade war. The whole global economy is slowing from it.
I think global economy was going to slow down no matter what, the spectre of many bubbles is hanging over its head as well
can't pump bubbles up for ever, europe with NIRP, the US flirting with ZIRP, china's economy is such a joke. when they deleverage it might cause WWIII if the ccp isn't willing to let go of some sacred cows
australia doubled down in 08 , they were getting hit with chinese slow situations evne prior to trump
their economy is primarily selling raw materials to china and a housing bubble
Trump is past the point at which there presidentβs approval rating typically starts to benefit from their re-election campaign
Trump is a different phenom as are the reasons people vote for him. Im not sure trends are helpful
Trump doesn't have to win, he just has to not lose. the Democrats could easily shoot themselves in the foot
Trump has a decent chance of winning in 2020 if the economy continues to thrive.
the economy isn't thriving.
is William Barr a member of Opus Dei?
Unemployment is at a 50 year low, wages are growing, worker productivity is increasing, median household income has increased by over 5,000 since Trump was elected.
The economy is looking pretty good right now

Yeah imagine how much better off we'd be if we had anyone besides Trump
Anything that improved under him would have improved more
@βπ Low unemployment isn't always a good thing, but the bigger picture is that there's historic highs of people out of work and underemployed.
It's a rich person's economy.

How did Trump achieve those numbers?
Consumer confidence is one of the main drivers of the economy. Trump gave consumers confidence.
consumer confidence dropped like a rock as soon as obama went into office
Obama went into office during a financial crisis.
Yeah he also brought us through the slowest post-WW2 economic recovery
@βπ Because it was a really bad recession.
Also his stimulus wasn't very well designed
Its silly to talk about this before the world watches the impeachment.
That may change everything even if hes not removed from office
Dems need to be more transparent with the impeachment process
why
they are following the procedural rules put in place by Republicans in 2015
When are hearings like this 'transparent'? this is the equivalent of a grand jury until it hits the house floor
Many of the republicans complaining are on committees with access, with reserved seats. They are just grand standing pretending they can't get in
at least 11 of the people in Gaetz' performance troupe had reserved seats for example
Need to be more transparent ?!?
We live in the age where political leaks, tell-all, 24/7 news , citizen journalist abound.. We are the most informed
citizenry in history.
We know what every witness so far has said, we have the transcripts of calls and personal text messages
Democrats are selectively leaking certain information from their secret meetings just to fit their narrative rather than showing the whole testimony of their witnesses.
