Trump constantly brags about our nation’s economy. Unemployment is allegedly at a 50-year low. But what has the orange man-child actually done to aid the economy for the working class? The answer is nothing. President Obama’s programs continue to receive praise for the positive parts of our fiscal solvency. So, what has Trump actually accomplished?

Trump has played more golf than all presidents combined in history. He has spent tens-of-millions of taxpayer dollars partying at Mar-a-Lago and other millionaires only resorts. Trump has spent millions more fund from our national treasury holding hate rallies across America.

Our nation’s economy is great for the wealthy and our major corporations, but not for the majority of our working class citizens. In 2019 wages for working class Americans received a zero percent increase adjusted for inflation. 51 percent of all working men and women received no raise at all.

Let’s cut to the truth. The Stock Market is a yardstick for the wealthy. When it rises the super-rich have additional funds to place in offshore accounts. It means virtually nothing to most Americans.

Several leading economists are predicting another recession which will be more severe than the one in 2008. Others are claiming that a market crash is inevitable. In 2019 our national debt increased by 1.2 trillion dollars; the largest single year increase in history. Our fragile, recovering economy, cannot sustain such a huge and unforgivable increase.

Fact: Huge percentage increases in the Dow Industrials have little effect on working class Americans. However, a market crash will destroy household economies for the working class. Layoffs combined with rising costs of life sustaining necessities will negatively affect more than 50 percent of all America’s people. Trump has continued the policies of Ronald Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43 whose “trickle-down economics” failed miserably. The wealthy are not “job creators.” They are opportunistic capitalists whose greed outweighs the future of most Americans. Their loyalty to our nation; our nation’s people, is non-existent.

Finally; history proves that the American people fare far better under Democratic leadership. Republicans continue to prove themselves incapable of governing a nation of 330 million Americans who compose the greatest economy in the world thanks to their efforts; efforts which are unrewarded by our nation’s largest corporations.

Trump is following the directives of his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin with additional input from the Saudi Royal Family. Both of these leaders have proven that they are enemies of the United States. Putin’s lifelong ambition has been to destroy America. Osama bin Laden was a member of the Royal Family, and 15 of the 19 terrorists who attacked our nation on 9/11 were Saudi Nationals. These are undeniable facts which remain unreported by broadcast “news,” and most of the mainstream media.

Trump is under orders to destroy America’s economy, and this requires little effort; merely a couple of signatures on executive orders.

Every action by the worst man in the world has been focused on enhancing Russia’s strength and destroying America’s place in the world. We have become a weaker nation under Trump’s illegitimate presidency.
