Can we all at least now agree that the President is a straight up racist?
How about that deficit though!? Nearly doubled since taking over. Trump doing what he does best. It was $587B at end of Obama’s presidency (and dealt with the Great Recession no big deal). Now it’s $1T. But hey, those tax cuts for the super wealthy and corporations are really paying off.
The GDP does though.Maybe you should look a little closer at the chart? It (the deficit) definitely does not kinda grow every year.

I was not looking way back there. Big up tick last year though.GDP mostly does (the chart shows it going down in 2009).

One thing Clinton got right: it's the economy, stupid...https://news.gallup.com/poll/236447/small-majority-say-country-best-days-ahead.aspx?g_source=link_NEWSV9&g_medium=TOPIC&g_campaign=item_&g_content=Small%20Majority%20in%20U.S.%20Say%20the%20Country's%20Best%20Days%20Are%20Ahead
Americans' Views of the United States' Best Years
When you think about the future of the United States -- which do you agree with more -- The country's best years are ahead of us (or) the country's best years are behind us?

Since 1981, the deficit has grown under every republican pres and shrunk under ever dem pres.
I wouldn't be opposed to a national 1-cent sales tax exclusively going towards reducing the deficit.
Why not walk back that huge tax cut that trump gave to the ultra wealthy and large corporations? Make them pay, not the rest of us.

Well that's provably false.

Trump probably saw what Obama tried to do and said no thanks. Not gonna fool Washington twice..

The gist of that article seems to be "we spent $1.8B on various programs in Baltimore yet there were still riots when the police killed Freddie Gray."
In any case, Trump said he was going to fix it fast. He apparently has failed, at least according to his own assessment.
I don't see where he even tried.
