-Consumer confidence is not at an all time high
-Illegal border crossings have been going down for years, this is not due to Trump. In fact, Obama deported more illegals in the first 9 months of 2016 than Trump has in the first 9 months of 2017.
-The VA reform was underway under Obama and in fact, the head is the one Obama holdover.
-What specific business regulations that were onerous have been eliminated and what exactly is the economic impact and environmental impact of said regulations?
-Stock market has been rising for years as a result of the stabilization of the economy under the previous administration. Yes it has seen a bounce due to the anticipation of corporate tax cuts, but even Mnuchin said yesterday that those DOW gains would disappear if the cuts don't happen. Most Americans do not benefit from a rise in the stock market.
-What policies has Trump enacted that has impacted unemployment? Again, the trendline has been good for years.
-What policies has Trump enacted that has impacted Food Stamps? Again, the trendline has been good for years.
-How does flying one sick kid compare to the overt abuse that has cost millions in taxpayer dollars and Tom Price his job?
-Check your figures on Keystone. Also, where is the steel for the pipeline coming from? Oh ya, Russia.
-Keystone is not energy independence for the US. The best path towards energy independence in the US is renewables, which has 6x the jobs of coal in the US.
-Returning issues to Congress. In theory, I agree with you on this. In practice, Trump has signed many more impactful EO's than Obama and doesn't have any major legislative victories.

So off the top of your head, there really isn't much that Trump has accomplished. Well, actually, he has made our foreign policy a shambles, has caused further instability in Kurdistan and North Korea, is inflaming our longtime Allies in Europe over both the EU and Iran.

I guess we really do live in two countries if you believe what you wrote.

I knew you would pick apart all the great things Trumo has done with lots of mis-truths. You are clearly one of those libsters who will never in a million yeaes acknowledge that there are many things Trump has accomplished - or even a single thing for that matter. You're too blinded with bias, and I'm not going to waste any more time trying to convince someone who is so completely one-sided in her perspective.

I for one am glad millions of middle-class Americans are in better shape as a result of Trump's policies. We count, too you know.

The problem is that the media, largely controlled by liberals, want to give the impression that Trump is doing horribly, and that everyone is up in arms against him. That's why they won't report all the good news - whether it involves successful military action, terrific speeches, or wonderful stats about the economy.

Plus, all this talk from liberals that every Trump voter "regrets" his vote? Simply not true. They know how vicious libs are and don't want to be called idiotic, racist Nazis again.....and again.....and again....and again.....and again.....and again. Everyone I talk to is more convinced that their vote was right, given the alternative (I'm sure you know Clinton went to South Korea to complain about Trump, another hint as to her personality), and other than his personality, are thrilled with how things are moving forward.

(In fact, my big increase in my stocks, thanks to Trump, is helping me pay for my astronomical medical expenses causes by Obama.)

What SPECIFIC "good" news about the Trump administration would you like to see receive more coverage? Something more substantial than a random speech at the Heritage Foundation would be great. Thanks.

Fake news.

Trump is driving this country into the ground. Years from now we'll recognize the Trump years as the beginning of the end of what used to be a great country.

DP.
Be specific about what is “fake” in the posting above.

Previous PP already listed, but here's a subset:
Consumer confidence is down. Half of Americans don't own stock (Trump is making his buddies richer, though, so I'll give you that.) You've got an odd definition of 'successful' for military operations; curious which ones you're talking about because I sure can't think of anything I'd call successful. Keystone pipeline won't do anything permanent for energy independence or jobs but will line the pockets of a few Trump supporters, at the expense of enormous environmental damage.

I think his Supreme Court choice was reasonable. Beyond that, I fail to see any successes. Basically Trump has been very, very good at grifting. He is a fantastic, out-of-this-world grifter. Beyond that and one Supreme Court pick, no successes.

Also, I'm a fairly conservative registered Democrat who has regularly voted Republican before. I'm just not blind, nor a paid Russian troll.

I've never heard "all this talk from liberals that every Trump voter 'regrets' his vote" -- if anything, what I've heard is a WTF that Trump still has approval numbers in the 30s and 40s percent range. Pretty mind blowing given his completely amateurish performance so far as president. How many chiefs of staff has he blown through already?

I'm glad you're thrilled that Trump has gotten so many legislative victories. Can't wait for that wall to be built and paid for by Mexico! Ha ha

p.s. how many of those opioid-addicted out-of-work blue collar workers have stocks to tide them over? You sound like an elite bragging about your portfolio.

Nope. Not an elite. Never even cracked $100k. But I've taken modest vacations, buy at Target, and replaced cars once every 12 years or so I can comtribute the full amoimt to my 401k. I have $500,000 now. Hardly elite - but someone who twkes responsibility for herself and wants to build a nice retirement. I am typical of millions of others - hard-working middle Americans who sacrifice now for a comfortable future.

The out-of-work blue collar workers still get benefits, provided by my taxes, like food stamps, housing subsidize, free Medicaid, etc. Nobody's forgotten about them. But unlike libs, we don't direct 100% of our focus to poor people and ignore - or make worse - the situation with the middle class. Why are you happy that the middle class is more likely to have a good retirement, based on increasing stock values as a result of Trump's policies?

Again, that is why you LOST.

If you won why are you so angry?

Should we assume take that statement to mean Rep. Wilson taped the conversation?

It is certainly possible that when the President calls your family, an there are a number of people in the car, that one of them recorded it.

At a minimum, others in the car corroborated the story.

And one of these people is a known liar who has lied about tapes with the former FBI director and about the birthplace of the former President, among thousands of other lies.

Produce the name of the person who taped the conversation or retract the statement “I have proof.” Pretty simple.

Exactly. I guess the soldiers mom lied too b/c she said that's exactly what he said.

Sorry. I don’t play that game. Grieving parents are off limits. You people are disgusting. Rep. Wilson said she had proof. Was the proof a tape? If the proof is a tape, who taped it. That is the question.

Do not try to engage me with using grieving parents. If you don’t have answer, jerk, don’t respond.

The proof were the other people in the car how heard the Presidents words and have confirmed the same. The White House has back tracked the story. The President lied.

Why are you defending him even after this?

Don’t respond to me when you politicize the grief of the family of a fallen soldier. You are morally repugnant and have no principles. None. Fool.

Hey moron, your Orange Liar was the one who started this whole sordid story. Are you really that stupid?

To distract everyone from the reason American soldiers died.

He doesn’t want anyone holding him accountable for that.

DP... I'm very similar to you, except our HHI is a bit larger, but we live pretty frugally. Like you, our cars are old; I shop at Target for our clothes; we didn't go on vacation this past year. I take responsibility for myself and am saving the max for our retirement. We are self employed.

I think you are confused to some degree about what the Dems tried to do for the middle class. They are not the ones who want to decrease services for the middle/lower class and give huge tax cuts to the rich. Many tax experts have stated that Trump/Rs tax plan will raise taxes for many of the middle class. Coupled that with cutting medicaid, wanting to let insurance companies charge 5x more for older Americans and those with pre-existing conditions for healthcare, this doesn't really help the middle class. Also, many in the middle class don't really have much in retirement. So, in actuality, in terms of retirement plans and stock value, you are an outlier in the middle class.

Why do you think that is, Trump supporters? Would you care to weigh in? I'll tell you what I think: I think Trump and/or his staff didn't want to publicize this tragedy and that Trump at heart really doesn't care about these soldiers in Niger but was more concerned about not having his own Benghazi moment.

That reflects very badly on the White House

If you think Trump and the Republicans are the middle class friends then I think you are very mistaken. The Republicans are already talking of raising the age for medicare from 65 to 67 and of cutting money and benefits for social security, medicare, and medicaid of which most elderly in nursing homes depend upon and of which the disabled depend upon. The ultimate goal of Republicans is do away with or privatize and severely limit social security, medicare, and medicaid.

The Republicans also would love to do away with or severely limit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which helps protect consumers against financial predators. Trump also reversed the rule for allowing more workers to be eligible for overtime under a higher year salary. Before the rule, many employers such as retailers and others would call folks making not much more than minimum wage "managers" and expected them to work many hours of free overtime per week (often 20 or more). And now the Republicans are happy with that.

The of course there is healthcare which Republicans want to go back to the old days or only offer catastrophic health insurance that only covers a little which is junk insurance and really only benefits the ultra wealthy. Catastrophic insurance often means no care, very limited care, and worsened health and death to average Americans. Many Americans prior to Obamacare could not afford going to doctors, getting tests done, or pay for their medications.

Of and the tax cuts they are proposing will have 80% of the cuts benefiting the top 1% of the richest Americans and will have 30% of the middle class paying more in taxes.

The Republicans are really only friends of the ultra-wealthy.
