"Has Mr Trump kept his promise to revive American manufacturing, mining and the like? A more probable explanation is that he came to office just as America began to run out of willing workers to fill all of its job vacancies. As unemployment has fallen, from over 6% in mid-2014 to 4.1% today, wage growth has gradually picked up.

"After years of imbalance, a shift in economic power towards workers is to be welcomed, so long as inflation remains low. Yet wage growth also helps determine the fate of politicians, whether or not they deserve it. Mr Trump’s election led to soaring small-business confidence, which is yet to abate. His promise to deregulate the energy sector may have spurred some investment. Yet his apparent economic success to date mostly reflects fortunate timing.

"That will not stop him from taking the credit should a tight labour market lift America’s spirits as the 2020 presidential election approaches. Rightly or wrongly, the biggest beneficiary of a sustained wage boom for workers may be a suited man sitting in the Oval Office."

And still he's at under 40% approval. He wouldn't even be that high if not for the economy.

Lies, I tell you. All lies.
The Twitterman has, all by himself and his magnificent presence on the world stage, brought about the greatest recovery in history. Simply with his presence.

Well, he just brought $250 Billion in orders back from China, plus some other stuff I believe.

That includes $83.7 Billion for West Virginia's energy.

You mean putting the coal miners out of work and totally not putting America First, by letting a foreign company take over?

LOL, "America first."
