U.S. boots Hong Kong from top spot and reclaims title of world’s most competitive economy

President Trump is making good on his promise to make America great again as the nation roared back to reclaim the title of the world’s most competitive economy.

The U.S. beat Hong Kong for the top spot, retaking the position for the first time since 2015, according to Switzerland-based IMD World Competitiveness Center’s annual rankings, Bloomberg reported.

Faster economic growth as well as scientific and technological innovation launched the U.S. up from 4th place last year, as the nation scored best in international investment, domestic economy and scientific infrastructure sub-categories.

“The renewed top ranking aligns with the positive U.S. growth narrative over the past year,” Bloomberg reported. “Growth averaged 2.9 percent in the four quarters through March, versus 2 percent in the prior period."

Singapore maintained its third place position from 2017 in the annual rankings by the Swiss group, as Hong Kong scored top spot in categories for government and business efficiency.

The Netherlands, which jumped up one spot, and Switzerland, which fell three spots, rounded out the top five.

Nope.

Everything you are describing is subjective.

What I am saying, is competitiveness is not subjective.

It is what we had. It is what we are losing. It is what Donald Trump won on.

It remains to be seen, whether he will do anything about the issue.

I sure hope he does. Because if he doesn’t, I see bad bad things in the future for the GOP.

Trump you were a godsend. It is up to you, to stand up for America.

Now or never.

He’s the right guy. At the right time.

He is in so many ways, completely what we, our country, the world, our liberties, our future, are all about.

No question he is very important.

But it is important, that he stand up.

Very, very important.
