Newt Gingrich: Trump’s GDP achieves Mission Impossible (and shocks his critics)
Fox News ^ | July 27, 2018 | Newt Gingrich

Posted on 07/27/2018 2:03:55 PM PDT by jazusamo

Early in his presidency, when Donald Trump said U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) would exceed 3 percent growth, the supposed experts in the mainstream media claimed such growth would most likely be impossible.

In fact, the experts claimed unemployment would have to reach zero percent and immigration would have to double to meet such a high growth rate (despite the fact that 3.22 percent has been the average GDP growth rate over the last 71 years).

Well, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce on Friday, “real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in the second quarter of 2018.”

It seems President Trump has once again achieved the impossible.

As it turns out, despite refrains from the elites in the media and establishment, the self-made billionaire who now leads our country knows quite a bit about creating a healthy economy.

As I explained Friday during a Facebook Live talk, the president’s massive deregulation effort, his success in cutting taxes on individuals and businesses, and his plan to renegotiate our international trade agreements have started to pay dividends.

Since his first days in office, President Trump has been dogged about cutting red tape and making it easier for American business owners (small and large) to work, hire people, and ply their trades – without having to devote time, money and attention to government regulators at every turn.

The lefties are upset about any positive Trump news. They do not have talking points on Trump successes. How can they turn successes into failures?

I know, that was a bummer. Politically he’s not a dummy and he supports President Trump so he’s not the enemy in my view.

If I recall correctly, we didn’t get a cost of living increase in our SS checks because Obama said there hadn’t been any inflation...AFTER he had taken groceries and gasoline out of the figuring.

LMAO!!! I love the subtlety of the cartoonist’s use of “Bedtime For Bonzo” ears on The Won. Too funny, and if O’Bungwad sees it, he’ll stomp his little foot!

NBC’s Chuck Todd, true to form, immediately after Trump announced the good news on the economy this AM ... made a statement along the line, I hope the President didn't sprain a muscle patting himself on the back; then promptly went into a litany of negative accusations out there about Trump.

I’ll take it. We need all the friends we can get right now and Trump knows better than to trust ANYONE too much... At this point.

Trump cures cancer

There is actually some truth to that. Cures for some types of previously incurable cancers were approved by the FDA in Trumps first year (2017)- the so called CAR-T therapies. They were mostly for blood cancers, but there are more coming for both solid and blood. So yeah, Trump's term(s) will be the turning point on the war on cancer.
