Oh Apple, you and your silly politics.
No thanks! Much more interested in Trump’s live tweeting of the democrat debates

actually the children separation started exactly with the left, not the current administration. oops!
Again it is either up or it is down. Is an increase of X% up or down? Does the word increase mean up or down?
Are you this incompetent or do you just lie about everything?
If I gave you a raise of 1.3% did you get a raise (see that word) or a pay cut?
My son grew 1.3%. Did he get taller or shorter?
And you base that on being brainwashed with conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. Trump has lied ELEVEN THOUSAND TIMES in two and a half years. He's honest?!??!
1.3% since august 2016...before that increases were even larger under the last president...think about this. And really, if you can't understand this math, I'd be careful calling anyone incompetent.

American election from European point of view...
If Trump doesn’t start a war with Iran, he would be the first peaceful American president who also made friends with Rocket man!
Putting it in all CAPS doesn’t make it true. Just makes it look like you are screaming, which on the internet, well, need I say more.
Ahh, more misinformation. Fox News really has a handle on you guys.
Richard said that. You said wages were stagnant. Not they are not. They are up. Period
My most recent post on this page has a lot of interesting recent stats and metrics of our country
Oh? Then what makes it true? You can read all 11k of them here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/?utm_term=.4b2816a64b8b
Weren't you just prattling on about facts a couple posts ago?
Funny I see on the news every single day that when people break laws in the US they take them from their children and put them in a cage called jail or prison. If I break the law they will take me from my children and put me in a cage.
I think they left out the snippet about the first native american female candidate for president when describing Warren. In the day and age of intersectional politics I can't believe they overlooked such a thing.
1.3% growth in wages beyond inflation IS stagnant. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/wage-growth Click on 10 year. Look at the line.
Let us all know when you understand what the word increase means.
Obama had greater than 3% growth multiple times over 4 consecutive quarters and had multiple quarters with GDP growth higher than the highest quarter under Trump. The idea that Trump has turned around a moribund economy is a fiction.
But, the broader point is that economic growth is not a measure of a president’s competence and intelligence.
No idea where you're even trying to go with this. If you're building a strawman, you're missing something.
Numbers were posted. You can't read if you think any of those years is higher than 2018. End of story.
The blinders by you leftists is pretty damn funny for all to see.
Oh...my....god... Look at the line, learn a little something today.

He said quarters, not annuals. I'm starting to see how you operate - it's very much like discussing things with a flat earther.
The only place I am going is that if you break the law in this country you get taken from your kids and go to a cage. If no one is left to take care of your kids then they will be taken from you. Anyone who didn't understand that years ago is too stupid to be in this country.
[doublepost=1561561235][/doublepost]
No he didnt. he said GDP was higher under Obama. It was not 7 out of 8 years. 4 quarters equals 1 year. If you have all this great growth quarter after quarter after quarter then your yearly numbers would also be higher. That is called basic math.
4 high quarters would equal a better year than 4 low quarters.
We get it. You 2 cannot look at things objectively
