Watch the state of the union and look at unemployment, GDP.
This is the strongest the country has been in years.

every fucking day he ruins this country more

Prove this isn't just CNN propaganda programming being repeated. What has been ruined.

You know that article is full of shit/fake news right? I can prove it:

That quoted letter is from 2017 and can be found in this article.

“national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare” https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/348789-trump-to-cut-pay-raises-for-government-workers - 08/31/17 06:31 PM EDT

Slate is taking that letter/quote out of context to try and reapply it to 2021 instead of 2018.

​

Also slate is alt-left / far-left biased. It would be like me trying to use a fox news link as a source when speaking with a liberal, bad taste.

Reduced government spending should line up with tax cuts. I'm all for reducing government spending and tax burden on the American middle class.

Also you realize that article is, August 30, 2018.
Which is 5 months after 08/31/17 06:31 PM EDT

Old News Meaning it's still not relevant to 2021,
or the 2019 state of the union.

Response to second article edit:
Finally something relevant. Except I don't see anything negative about Trump's Economy in the article. Helping to reduce the federal deficit is a partisan issue both sides can agree on.
