Fact Check On Trumps NOT The Greatest Economy
Simply put, without going into the whole history of US economics, since Truman, Johnson, Kennedy, Clinton Reagan, Carter, Eisenhower, Nixon & Ford all had higher GDP performance that Donald Trump. And that’s only eight that did better than Donald. If you go back further, Donny gets pushed even further down the list. So, no Trump did not produce the greatest economy and yes, he continues to lie to his supporters about it.

The Trump Virus Infecting the World
The ‘Trump Virus’ is literal and metaphorical as well as psychological. The Coronavirus is now Trumps Virus. His direct and will for ignorance of the danger is killing Americans. His rhetoric has infected people around the world. His supporters still support him even though he is destroying America. I’ve heard many in the world of finance around the world say he is great with the economy, even though all he has done is destroy capitalism with his socialist funding of markets to make himself look better, which by the way makes the markets more dangerous because they have not risen on value and productivity, they’ve risen on government money and taxpayer debt. There’s nothing economically good about that.

Enemies: Foreign and Domestic
To protect America, from enemies ‘foreign and domestic’ is an oath that one takes in service to America. I’ve taken that oath myself. All those that take that oath have an obligation, to protect America from enemies ‘foreign and domestic’.

Sovereignty: Democracy verses King Trump
It’s not just that Trump is supporting foreign dictators. It’s also that he is eroding America’s position in the world. By regularly lying to pretty much everyone Trump has succeeded in ensuring that our allies no longer can trust America. The end result is America is no longer in the lead when it comes to truth and justice. Trump succeeded in making America weaker.

Economically, this is net negative. The only positive is that while you get sick and/or die, you get to make tobacco executives wealthier.
