quote:

President Trump's central claim about his economic policies officially crashed into reality today.

Throughout the 2016 campaign and since, the president and his party have vowed to kick-start tepid Obama-era economic growth. Specifically, they insisted tax-cuts and deregulation would return growth to its post-World War II average of 3 percent – a level, candidate Trump said derisively, that Obama became "the first president in modern history" never to reach in a single year.

New government data this morning show that Trump, too, has failed to reach the 3 percent promised land, according to one major metric. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis measured 2018 growth at 2.9 percent, matching the peak Obama enjoyed in 2015.


So Trump’s goal of 3% “crashed into reality” because he only hit 2.9%? That’s the standard we’re using for “crashed” now?

It’s no longer disappointing that left-wing sites write disingenuous articles about Trump. But it’s disappointing that a “conservative” makes those articles his headlines.

Drudge posts the MSM's BS headlines as they are real and telling of a complete dem/uniparty meltdown.

If Obama was an economic failure for not achieving 3% annual GDP. Wouldn't that mean Trump is an economic failure, too? This has been the right wing talking point.


If Trump supporters were smart(they aren't), they would've waited until Trump actually surpassed 3% gdp before saying Obama was a failure for not doing so.

A prime example of what we call "nitpicking".

I haven't been keeping up with Drudge for a couple of years now.

He used to just post links to what is available out in the internet universe - has he sifted from that plan??

Is he now squelching conservative sites?? and just posting radical leftists drivel??

Bottom line: you aren't going to find a gay journalist that is going to give you the truth about reality.

It's really quit simple. The obama holdovers in the FCC simply walked into Matt Drudge's office and told him to start carrying liberal sites OR they would shut him down.

The same thuggery techniques by the FCC was done at FoxNews. Obama operatives are scattered everywhere in this government. Obama had eight years to position his people and now they're moving.

So much for draining the swamp.

Never Trumpers are part of the problem.

I don't go to Drudge anymore, I go over to Breitbart for the news. They're the only ones that tell it straight.
