Do you recall this golden promise from Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign?
“We’re going to make America wealthy again,” he promised. “You have to be wealthy in order to be great.”
Well, Trump voters, how is that working out for you?
After almost two-and-a-half years with Trump in the White House — including two years with Republican control of both houses of Congress — the middle class is getting squeezed to a pulp.
The rich got their Trump tax cut. GDP looks good. And the stock market is doing great for people with money to invest. But it is only the rich who get the big rewards in Trump’s economy.
What about the middle class?
Wages remain stagnant. Trump’s trade wars are hurting farmers. Coal mines keep closing. Teachers in several states have been on strike.

How is teachers on strike Trump's fault?
>>> Juan Williams: “Housing prices are up; prescription drug prices and healthcare costs are up; gas prices are up and student debt is soaring.
This is the reality for the middle class.” <<<
Thanks to Democrats’ policies, Juan forgot (on purpose) to mention. But never mind, it is all Trump’s fault.
Juan..... STFU.
Ad for Sleepy Joe?
Housing prices are up...
Because housing demand in the Middle Class is up.
Trump has had less than two years in office and has surpassed any growth you may attribute to the Great Pretender.
Your racial bias is palpable.
Yeah in two years he ought to have been able to completely unwind 40 years of policy, and the effects of 40 years of policy. Very stupid article by Mr. Williams.
Joe Biden is now running for president.
Media marching orders: "You know what? Trump is screwing the Middle Class."
It's always the Narrative. Truth doesn't matter.
Juan called Robert E Lee a traitor on the “five” and the other 4 just sat there. Greg Gutless made a little comment but it was useless.
LOL. Everything is Trump’s fault. This reminds me of the articles you used to see when the Reagan economic boom was going on. Sure, the economy is great but what about all those people who were “left out” of the recovery? Remember that? Now Juan is reviving it for Trump. Sure, the economy is great but . . . . . Its a good sign.
The economy is really chugging down here
“Well, Trump voters, how is that working out for you? “
Best it’s been in decades, Juan.
Btw Juan, you’re a racist.
Hey, Juan! No comments about how Netanyahu and the Jews control the President today? You’re slipping!
In this article Juan is plugging for Fake Cherokee Woman Liz Warren.
44% of all US households pay no federal income tax. The top 50% of all federal income tax payers pay 97% of all federal income taxes. IOW, the bottom half of American earners don’t pay income taxes, so how they gonna get a tax cut? Cannot happen mathematically. That top 50% of American earners pays about 16% of their income in federal income taxes. The top 10% of all earners pays at a rate of about 22% in federal income tax. The data is all out there, not that your local rag or the enemedia would publish this stuff.
The media just keep letting us know that the term “fake news” is an accurate one.
I clicked on this Just to say this. One Williams is a complete dummy. He doesn’t have his own thoughts he just repeats Democrat talking points. He is hateful and unwatchable on TV so who would read an article by him?
Poor Juan.
Well, Juan, my company just got a contract renewed, and I got a raise...first one in a long time. My house value is finally above where it was after Obama took office and everything went off the rails. I’m still paying less for gas than I was back then, too. And, my kids are either graduated from college, preparing to graduate, or just entering college...with zero debt. Not bad for middle class.
