Is America great again?

In regards to your specific "facts" - no comment. As for the general fact that the economy is significantly better now than it was in the spring of 09, that's probably not a fact that serves your point of view (for pretty obvious reasons).

It doesn't have anything to do with Trump. He did nothing good about the economy so far.

He did one extremely bad thing, he removed some legislation created to avoid another great crash like the 07 one. Frank-Dodds it is called.

But it takes years before the bad stuff because of that hits US, Trump is probably not pres. anymore when it happens.

Remember it also took George W Bush 7 years to create a total meltdown. Rome was not destroyed in a day.
Economically Trump also lives in the past. The stuff he cares about, coal, steel, sounds like a Bruce Springsteen album from 1984 :)

Green tech and silicon valley stuff just doesn't register on his radar, because he is old. He never even mentions it.

So if his policies do have an impact, it will be to have US stuck with outdated and dying industries.

Coal is sorta like investing in horse transport companies or steam trains.

And it should more be like robot design, computer chips, AI, solar energy.

It's kinda good for us in Europe, I don't mind at all Trump is giving us an economic advantage on a silver platter :)

Coal and steel are in no way "outdated" or "dying" industries.
They might not be as cool as investing in AI but they are still heavily used and incredibly important. As long as buildings are being built and factories are being run, steel and coal are both very important reliable resources that (as long as we still live in buildings, and make things in ways other than 3D Printing) will remain very good investments...
No, but I may have approached incontinence when Trump revealed he knows "more than the generals." Obviously this guy is big on brains too. (However, I wonder he did not advise our military sooner, perhaps it would have saved lives!? Perhaps, like his tax returns, there is some deep and clever reason for holding on to this secret.)

Actually Trump has revealed that he knows more about some 20-odd important issues than anybody else! This is easy to check by googling. True, we only have his word, but everyone knows businessmen are incredibly honest!

Now for some good ol' TV wrestling! Ta ta!
