Don’t tell me this economy sucks. Sure, it’s far from perfect, but look at the statistics, look at Americans getting back to work, and tell me that we are doomed. Of course the party won’t last forever and the downturn will eventually come. That said, through the first year-and-a-half of the Trump economy, we are seeing and are poised for significant growth.
The Trump administration’s America First economic policies are employing many Americans who have been out of work for some time. Second quarter’s GDP growth of 4.1 percent is the latest example of Trump’s deregulatory pro-jobs policies working wonders for the country. And the third quarter could be even stronger.
Although we are still less than halfway through the third quarter, early indicators point to an even higher GDP number, scheduled to be announced on October 26. The Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDPNow model, which sifts through and analyzes current economic data to predict the current quarter’s GDP growth, stood at 5 percent last week, up slightly from an initial estimate of 4.7 percent.
The GDPNow model is not perfect, but it does have a strong track record. Neil Dutta, head of U.S. economics at Renaissance Macro, recently said the data is likely to hold up and end close to 5 percent. The average move for the reading over the course of a quarter was a drop of 0.6 percentage points. The biggest downward move in GDPNow’s history over the course of a quarter was 2.2 percentage points and the largest upward move was 1.5 percentage points. If we see an uptick all the way to 6.2 percent, we would witness the highest quarterly GDP total since 2003.

He will be the greatest president. Period.
Every president should be a businessman. Get R Done.
Every politician should be a businessman. More John James, less Danny Lawyer.
Donald Trump rates pretty high in that regard already but he is going to be swept from the stage if he does not start APPLYING THE LAW in all respects. An illegal investigation against him proceeds unfettered. Judges usurp his constitutional perogitives. These damned leftist are in THEIR mileu as long as the law is not enforced. They WILL win if nothing is done about THEIR CHEATING.
How many FReepers said outright in 2008, I'm not buying, I'm boycotting this hoodoo until he's gone.
But now the dragon energy since President Trump took office -- you can literally feel it -- ordinary Americans pushing full stacks of chips in after 8 years of sitting it out, it's incredible.
Going forward, every president should be a lying, mentally unstable, uncouth, loud, obnoxious, philandering, racist, bigot, homophobic, sexist, colluding, cheating piece of human debris./s
They do a great job! Wish we had someone like this in Canada!
If these military members aren’t citizens then, aren’t they mercenaries?
I love Canada, every moment I've had there was fun and trouble-free.
Canada couldn't take Dragon Energy. Oz maybe, but not Canada....
The greatest president ever...I thought Ron Reagan would never be surpassed but Donald Trump did it...
Rushmore baby
Well, perhaps a bit of Lizard Energy, just to get us going.
He hasn’t been President for two years. It’s a little early to claim he is the greatest anything yet. I like him. I like the direction. But let’s not jump on the hyperbole bandwagon.
Because he has employed many individuals and companies. How many other presidents have been able to say that, can any in recent times?
