He says he'll beat inflation, and it's already beaten. Last quarter it clocked in at 1.2% compared to the previous quarter. It was at 2.4% on a year-over-year basis.

He says he'll rein in illegal immigration, and it's already reined in. What's more, job demand has plummeted so pressure on the border will remain low.




He says he wants Israel to giddy up and finish off the war, and it's already winding down of its own accord because there are only so many Palestinians you can kill. It's likely to be over within his first year.

He says he'll turbocharge the economy, and it's already turbocharged. In the latest quarter, real GDP grew 2.8% and is now an astonishing 2.6% above potential GDP. That's the highest it's been in half a century.

He says he'll cut imports from China, and they've already been cut. Last year imports of goods from China came to 1.28% of GDP, the lowest in 20 years.

He says he'll produce more oil and gas, and both are already at the highest levels in American history.

He says he'll get crime down, and it's already down because it never went up in the first place. The one thing that did go up was murder, and so far in 2024 it's plummeted to 4.4 per 100,000, the lowest rate in more than 40 years.

Just sit on his hands and let the good times roll. Can he do that? Lol. Of course he can't.

"We've cut illegal immigration."  But the millions who came in before they cut illegal immigration are still here.  
"Inflation is down."  But the prices at the grocery store are still up and they're not going to go back down.    

That's like bragging that you've managed to stop beating your wife.  

But, all that aside, the biggest, most dangerous measurable is the federal debt.  I think this country must be math-challenged, to not understand how incredibly dangerous this is.  NOTHING in your post said anything about the 35 trillion-dollar federal debt, which is now growing at a rate of 2 trillion dollars a year.

It currently appear sometime last year this time they "woke" up (bad pun intended) and figured out they needed to do something. 

It is now documented the job creation numbers were inflated by a historical 800,000+. It got so bad the Fed actually said they didn't use those numbers as the accuracy was questionable. The Labor department can't count? 

On Crime the FBI was forced to revise the violent crime numbers way up they had not included all the same categories. Violent crime actually is increased.

 Inflation is trending down but it not quite tamed. Just go read the Fed's latest report. Since we measure inflation year over year all we have to do is add the years together to see how much more thing costs from the beginning of a presidency to the end. Inflation rose from the beginning to end of Obama's 2 terms and Trump's about the same. They had about 4%-5% increase in cost to consumers. Biden is going to end up at about 20-21%. Sure inflation is trending down now.

Could all have been in preparation for the election? We all have our own opinions there no need to discuss.
