The American economy is doing great as reflected in the fact that blue collar wages are surging. However, please don't give President Donald Trump any credit for this. He is merely the passive recipient of "fortunate timing."

Dream on SnarkMasters...
I love it.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.
The snarkmaster is Shep Smith.

Ya, the “fortunate timing” was the election of Donald Trump.
“The Jobs are NOT coming back! What is he (Trump) going to do?

Ya got that right Spok!
I heartily agree.
