Actually, the early eighties might be a good starting point when this tax cuts and trickle down nonsense became in vogue.Yeah, we all know how you loved Ronnie Reagan. He was skilled at licking your (Laffer Curve) sweet spot. Made you squirm. No need to tell that story again.

I said the Califate is 90% gone which is a fact. Obama let it grow into a state.
Remember that Obama inherited an economy that was in the toilet. Unemployment went from 10% to 4.6%. DJIA tripled. If you want to give praise to Trump for the improvement in the economy since he's been in office I'm fine with that. But to ignore the improvement while Obama was in office is ignoring the truth.
ISIS is not gone. I guarantee you that it will rear its ugly head again and again.
Less than 40% (36% and sinking according to the link below) of the people in this country agree with you that Trump is doing a good job as POTUS. That despite most people believing the economy is improving dramatically.

"Operation Inherent Resolve is the U.S.-led coalition of sixty-nine nations and four partner organizations that has orchestrated the military campaign against ISIS and provided air power in both Syria and Iraq. Since 2014, its lone goal has been to end the caliphate, not to solve the broader problems that gave rise to ISIS, especially in Syria. The United States, under both Democratic and Republican Presidents, has resisted getting militarily involved in Syria’s grisly six-year civil war."

I read one article that stated that the military operations in Iraq under Trump were no different than those under Obama. Since I never studied military tactics, I don't know if that is true or not. Of course, Trump took personal credit for the successes in Iraq. No credit to the people who actually fought over there. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

It’s true that Obama inherited a mess. Originally Posted by bambino

Trumps deregulation and promise of reduced tax rates on business have spurred the economy. It’s true that Obama inherited a mess. It’s also true that it was the slowest economic recovery in history and Obamas GDP was the lowest in over 60 years. Originally Posted by bambino

IThe President is about who appoints SC Justices. All else is window dressing.
