Trump made a similar claim on Tuesday, when he said he received "multiple standing ovations" from GOP senators at the gathering.

In recent history, the only good thing the repubs have done is when Nixon created the EPA, which the current admin. is destroying.
I am looking at this "story" from the angle of yes, lets tie them all to tRump and see how that works out for them.

We hear you, but we don't believe you.

You and Kim have so very much in common.

You envy his power.

You want his power.

You don't believe in democracy.

You don't believe in the Constitution.

You don't believe in the rule of law.

You and Kim could be brothers.

Too bad you weren't born in South Korea.

The two of you could have had a duel to see who would be the supreme leader.

You probably would have lost because you are such a loser.

they don't name Trump as the reason, but we know. Most economists understand the US economy is driven by consumer demand not supply side trickle down BS
