Trump this, loser: Trump's popularity hits new heights - and Dems run scared By Monica Showalter In agonizing, painful, miserable news for the Trump-hating left, a new Marist poll finds that President Trump's popularity has reached a new high at 42% approval, the highest it's been since he took office. According to The Hill: Trump's approval rating rose from the 38 percent he received in the poll last month. And the percentage of Americans who strongly approve of Trump held at 24 percent from last month’s survey, an all-time high for the president. At the same time, Trump's disapproval rate, now at 50%, fell four percentage points from 54%. The voters that the Trump haters the left has fed from for the past year, is shrinking. Something has changed. And better still, these good numbers for Trump are a trend. For the rest of us, the trend is your friend. The reason he's up, despite the Beltway's over-covered supposed turmoil at the White House, and the Russia,Russia,Russia obsession of the leftwing press, is not hard to discern. Job creation just hit the 300,000 mark, a number we have not seen in about a decade. Taxes went down - and they went down hard for almost everyone. Factories and their jobs are returning to the states. Workforce participation is growing. And get a load of this one, from the Wall Street Journal: U.S. Household Net Worth Pushes Further Into Record Territory Oh yeah. What it means is exactly what Democrats think it means: Bad news for them. Get a load of Axios's headline on one of its top features for today: New peril for moderate Dems: Voters happy with Trump's economy Peril? We're supposed to be concerned because these people face the prospect of losing their grip on power? No great blue wave? Because they had their chance to create a good economy through free market reforms, and they blew it? What kind of political party gets thrilled about economic bad news and upset at economic good news? Just Democrats. These clowns held nearly all of the political power dating from 2006 through the Obama years and had all the opportunity in the world to enact free market reforms such as President Trump has. Cut taxes, cut regulations, cut bureaucrats? They could have done that, because free market ideas belong to anyone who wants to give them a go, not just Republicans, yet somehow they didn't. And now they're unhappy about how numbers work. Do they really think voters should love them despite the bad economy they created? And that bad economies exist in some kind of void only because there are Republicans, not because of leftist policies? Or that Democrat welfare-shoveling in its vision of Big State is preferable to the satisfaction of having a job? Umm, spare us some schadenfreude. I've got news for them: Trump's numbers are up and they are going to keep going up so long as he keeps sipping from that free market goblet. The way for Democrats to get such a trend in numbers and raise their popularity is to drink from that same goblet, and as the phrase goes, steal Trump's thunder. Since they won't, well, too bad.

This Is the Greatest Manufacturing Jobs Boom in Twenty Years THE KENYAN APE SAID YOU CAN'T WAVE A MAGIC WAND AND BRING BACK JOBS by John Carney 9 Mar 20183,609 breitbart.com The American manufacturing renaissance is still defying expectations. Over the last 12 months, manufacturers have added 224,000 jobs. That’s the biggest annual gain since 1998, according to Wall Street economist Joe LaVorgna. Since the 2016 election, the economy has added 263,000 manufacturing jobs. Last month, 31,000 new manufacturing jobs came online. It wasn’t supposed to be this way, according to the Very Wise People. Donald Trump’s promises to bring back manufacturing jobs was widely derided as impossible, and his supporters were mocked as suckers. “Trump won’t be able to ‘make American great again’ by bringing back production jobs,” Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution wrote. “What happens when people realize they’ve been taken?” Wharton emeritus professor of management Stephen J. Kobrin asked. “When people realize that he can’t bring back jobs and that they are not better off than they were two years ago, how does he use it–who does he blame it on?” “Manufacturing jobs are never coming back,” Ben Casselman of FiveThirtyEight declared in the summer of 2016. Instead of focusing on reviving the manufacturing sector, politicians should focus on managing its decline, the Very Wise People insisted. “[R]ather than play to that anger [over lost manufacturing jobs], candidates ought to be talking about ways to ensure that the service sector can manufacturing’s former role as a provider of dependeable decent-paying jobs,” Casselman wrote. Why was it supposed to be impossible to revive manufacturing? Globalization couldn’t be reversed. Automation would make human manufacturing jobs redundant. Trump had offered “few specifics” about how he would change policies to benefit workers. “The larger problem for Trump and his supporters is that there is very little reason to think that any set of policies could meaningfully reverse the long-term decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs,” Casselman wrote shortly after the election. So how wrong were the Very Wise? Just about as wrong as they could possibly be. “The manufacturing sector is adding jobs at a faster pace than the rest of the economy, which hasn’t happened much over the past half-century,” Justin Fox writes at BloombergView. It’s clear that a number of the Trump policies and Trump-related phenomenon are helping: The massive tax cut on businesses appears to be helping a lot and may have even started helping before it was passed. The perception that the regulatory environment will no longer be a drag on businesses, particularly manufacturing businesses. The revival of domestic oil and gas, another key Trump campaign promise, contributes to manufacturing jobs. Consumers sentiment and business optimism are at or near decades-long record highs. Manufacturers know Trump has their back and will make efforts to aid their export efforts and fend off cheap imports. Foreign manufacturers are moving jobs into the U.S. in hopes of avoiding tariffs they fear are coming. Of course, Trump is far from a place where he can fly a “mission accomplished” banner over the U.S. economy. As Alan Tonelson points out, wages remain flat for manufacturing. And manufacturing employment is still 8.24 percent below its pre-recession peak of 13.7 million jobs. There’s more to do. But the revival of manufacturing does not look as challenging today as it did a few years ago.
