Facts prove otherwise : Trump Effect:
Wednesday, January 03, 2018
Bloomberg: "Manufacturing in the U.S. Just Accelerated to Its Best Year Since 2004."
As Barack Obama said, those jobs ain't coming back.
Hillary's economic plan was to retrain coal miners to become computer programmers.
Donald Trump's plan was to Make America Great Again.
And we are headed back to greatness.
From Bloomberg:
U.S. manufacturing expanded in December at the fastest pace in three months, as gains in orders and production capped the strongest year for factories since 2004, the Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday.The survey-based measure of factory activity -- the year’s second-highest behind September, when storm-related supply delays boosted the index -- brings the 2017 average to 57.6, the best in 13 years. The latest gain extends a string of strong readings that’s been fueled by more domestic business investment, improving global economies and steady spending by American households.The acceleration in bookings indicates production will remain robust in coming months as factories race to limit mounting order backlogs amid declining customer inventories. Increasing export orders underscore improvement in global markets.The figures suggest manufacturing strength will persist into early 2018, even after the ISM’s semi-annual survey of purchasing managers published last month showed factories anticipate growth in capital spending to slow this year.Score another one for President Trump. Promise made, promise kept.
Now, I have written about people who foolishly feuded with Donald Trump only to wreck their lives later. I am even keeping a list.
But as a reader pointed out, what about the positive Trump Effect, the good things he has done?
OK, let me make a list of the good that Donald Trump has done since being elected president:
1. Hillary Rodham Clinton is not now nor ever will be president. No other Republican could have defeated her.
2. 43 jackasses have committed careericide by getting into feuds with him. That's the The Feuding With The Donald Effect.
3. He gave us Justice Neil Gorsuch.
4. You no longer are fined for not buying health insurance. The United States of America is a free nation again.
5. Net neutrality is gone. We are back to the Internet we enjoyed up until 2015.
6. He added a record 12 appellate judges including Don Willett. By January 20, we could have 18 Trump-appointed appellate judges or one in 10 of the 179 appellate judges.
7. The corporate income tax no longer is 35%. Trump dropped it to 21%, which is just above the European Union average of 20.9%.
8. For the first time, the Dow Industrial Average topped 19,000 -- 20,000 -- 21,000 -- 22,000 -- 23,000 -- 24,000.

16. 1,579 regulations gone.
17. Pipelines being built, including Keystone XL.
18. U.S. Household Wealth Hit Record $96.9 Trillion. Up nearly $7 trillion since his election.
