    Well, this is just 100% incorrect.

    Oh, the difference between you and Julius is I trust Julius.

    Because I paid Lanny a handsome fee of 12 cents for every dollar I made last week.

    ...actually it is. Why anyone would truly believe that Trump has done a good job speaks volumes for the people who blindly support him.

    How about trying more acceptable feedback? This kind of feedback is counterproductive and I presume you wanted to express something productive.

    Congrats.
    In Trumps first two years he's lowered the black & hispanic unemployment rate by 1% each.
    While Obama lowered it by 6.8% and 4.9% over his term.

    Frankly I'm just happy it hasn't gone up in nearly 2 years.
    Yes it's at a low point. But it's a bit of fake news/politician talk to claim Trump is the reason why it's so low.
    For anyone to do this shows they're just following that company line.

    Anything positive, Trump takes credit, but if it is negative he blames Obama. Such a classless act from such a fragile ego.

    Okay...here is where I have to remind you how often obummer did the same thing. This is a very common tactic used by setting Presidents for one hundred and fifty years.

    Show some proof. It is all over the place with the twitter clown along with his average of 16 lies daily since June. He only averaged about 9 daily before that.

    Politics. 101
    New administration comes in for the former opposition party.
    Anything positive = New administration is the reason.
    Anything negative = Former administration is the reason.

    This is the exact reason why Millennials tune this shit out.
    Our parents taught us we didn't have to listen to this nonsense if we didn't want to.
    Most of us choose not to.

    The lies are up because the noose they wanted around Obama's neck is tightening around their own president's lack thereof.

    To be fair. Bush was the worst president we've had in my lifetime.
    As you said, Bush did nothing Obama could take credit for.

    Meh.

    Obama didn't do that. He told us the truth about why the economy was the way it was.

    You do realize I was responding to:

    Which isn't true. And I'm simultaneously slapping the SHIT out of the weak "they did it too" debate tactic.

    He didn't have a chance.
    The economy was so ass nothing to take credit for.

    I do remember hearing him say in his speeches.
    'The economy will get worse before it gets better. It will take longer than any of us would like. It will take years, not months.'
    Credit to him, for not passing the buck and blaming the previous administration.(at least this is what I remember)
