The Trump Economy: Story of the Decade

Now, the economy. Folks, this is stunning what is happening in our country. And it’s doubly stunning to see how the media is doing everything it can to ignore it, but they are failing. The jobs numbers are so good — the unemployment number is so good — that they can’t ignore it. So what they’re doing… Trump today tweeted in advance of the jobs numbers coming out, and so the Drive-Bys and everybody on the left wants to put Trump in jail for this because this is supposedly against the law.

But no matter how hard they try, they cannot drown out or obliterate the news. The United States added 223,000 jobs in May, beating expectations. The so-called experts were forecasting in the high 180,000s. Jobs were added all across the employment sector.

Manufacturing added 18,000 jobs. Obama said these are jobs that are never coming back.

There are 6,000 new jobs in the mining sector. The service sector of our economy, service providers: 171,000 new jobs in May. Unemployment, 3.8%. That’s the lowest since George W. Bush was in…

Federal jobs, the federal payroll is down 24,000 jobs. I’m not kidding.

Asian and Hispanic unemployment numbers are low too. Shouldn’t that make conservatives mad? I mean, this is what the left tells us. The left tells us conservatives … Conservatives are celebrating all of this economic news, and especially the great employment news for African-Americans and other minorities. But conservatives celebrating good things happening to minorities? Why, that doesn’t fit the left’s narrative. Nah, the left’s narrative is we’re a bunch of racists and bigots and we don’t like this at all. … I haven’t seen conservative men complaining about that, either. I haven’t seen any conservatives complaining about any of the good news on jobs for African-Americans, minorities, and women! Yet we’re sexist bigots, right? Ha-ha.

This is the story of the decade. My friends, Barack Obama… Barack Obama literally for eight years tried to tell people that our best days were behind us; that we had to get used to a new normal. You remember this. It was probably very likely that we were finished with the days where kids could routinely be expected to do better economically than their parents. And the reason for this, Obama said, was that all of this great economic history in this country was not all that deserved.

Our founding was unjust and immoral.

… that answer that Obama gave that man in Elkhart, Indiana? The guy is just looking for some encouragement. Is a job coming back? Will there be a replacement job? Obama couldn’t even offer that. And then has to put Trump down because he listens to Trump talk about how he’s gonna restore jobs and the economy, and Obama says, “How? Magic wand?” Thereby telling us that he doesn’t have the slightest understanding of economics and policy and how to start things and how to orient things for the benefit of America, for all the obvious reasons.

[Kudlow] “We developed an experimental policy here, low tax rates, lower regulation, no punishing business, let’s reward success, take a rip at the ball.” Let’s go up there and swing at it. “That’s American capitalism. Our European friends and others should consider these supply-side kinds of policies to reawaken business” and economies. “We would welcome” them. Trump is trying to lead, he is leading, and he’s trying to get everybody on the same page. You’ve heard him say “Make America Great Again,” put America first.
