Donald Trump needs the economy to keep chugging together
"Just outside: Real GDP for the first quarter grew 3.2% year on year. This is far above expectations or projections. It is important that inflation is very low. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
Despite their warnings, headline numbers – growth and jobs – remain strong, and Trump is more than happy to take credit and stick to the experts. While countries in Europe and Asia are posting worrying gross domestic product reports, the US cares, and the importance of Trump cannot be overstated.
He must own the record-breaking economic expansion that has been underway for about a decade. Especially if he is going to believe in his own low approval ratings and the inflamed democratic voters who want to see him disturbed to prevent justice.
The experts and economists will add stars and "buts" to the strong preliminary 3.2% annual GDP developments published Friday, and point out that it can be misleading in the long run for a number of reasons, and they will say they still see a decline in the horizon.
But for now, Trump has promised growth. And the economy has grown. Full Top.
He watched two years of an economic expansion that began early in the Obama administration, yet he won elections in 2016 because so many Rust Belt voters felt again.
Now, as Democrats are guarding on Trump In 2020, talking about how to deal with inequality, he must convince the same Rust Belt voters he has provided for them and that his firm corporate tax deductions will help them too.
Ta Erie, Pennsylvania. Trump won the cramped area in 2016, but Democrats took it back in mid-2018.
Macro indicators such as GDP growth and gains cannot resonate there, but help-seeking signs do. That's why Dick Crosby, who owns the Girard Dinor cafe in Girard outside Erie, sees Trump as unbeatable in 2020.
"You can go to almost any business here and you see a sign in the window of Crosby told CNN's Miguel Marquez.
Others in Erie may not like the president, but it will not keep them from voting for him.
He is not a guy I wanted to go and want a beer with or go golf, says Chris Trott, a 28-year-old two-hour Barack Obama elect who chose Trump in 2016 and says he will vote for him again "because what he does seems like working."
Trott looks at the opportunity to hiring the first full-time employee for the vehicle modification business, Erie Fleet Solutions, he opened four years ago.
It's Trump's way to another win, no matter how many misleading Facebook ads coming from Russia in the political conversation. survey conducted by SSRS in March, Trumps approve assessment, which has always been below 50%.
"Overall, 71% say that the national economy is in good shape, the highest proportion say it since February 2001, and the best rating under Trump's presidency with two points," she wrote. "A majority gives the president positive reviews for his management of the country's economy (51% approve), and his overall approval rating has crossed up to 42% in the new poll. The 51% who say they dislike the president's overall job performance represents the lowest share to Do it in the CNN poll since the beginning of his presidency. "Nearly a quarter of voters said the economy was the most important problem the country faces in the departure piles that were conducted in mid-2018, when the Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives. Republicans won 63% to 34%. If Trump can get more voters to vote on this issue instead of healthcare, it will be very good for him.
And democrats know it clearly. Former Vice President Joe Biden's whole argument for running is that he can rebuild the democratic blue wall of Rust Belt and return to a pre-Trump mindset.
Democrats, who lost Rustbelt and the White House in 2016 because white worker classifications in Rustbelt felt behind, came back in 2018 because the same voters were afraid they might lose their health care. But what will be their argument if the voters thrive on Trump's finances?
