Donald Trump Jr.: No one with a brain believes Obama did anything good for economy, foreign policy

Source: The Hill




Donald Trump Jr. said on Saturday that no intelligent people believe former President Obama helped the economy or foreign policy.

"No one with a brain actually believes he did anything good for our economy or for our foreign policy," Trump told "Breitbart News Saturday."

"The biggest joke I've seen in the last two years is Obama...trying to claim this economy because his policies of over-taxation, oppressive regulation," he said, tearing into the former president for his claiming credit for the economy earlier this month.

"That drove this country into the ground. That led to the worst recovery in the history of probably economics but certainly our country’s history," Trump added.

26. Why is The HIll giving this idiot an audience for his obvious lies?
Sun Sep 16, 2018, 02:05 PM
Sep 2018

This type of free coverage of dogmatic propaganda is one of the primary reasons we lost the 2016 election.

Wall-to-wall coverage of Trump's every utterance by major media around the globe 24/7 can never be forgiven, and we should somehow let outlets like The Hill know how repulsive this practice is to many Americans.

If Junior was truthfully talking about - for example - what Repugs are doing to repair America's infrastructure or to improve funding for K12 public schools, then The Hill should have at it. He won't be talking about those things because they're not doing anything and in fact, are de-funding those areas.

However, the headlining of blatant political lies and the use of nasty personal insults is extremely offensive and should stop.

Why are they so afraid of Trump and why do they avoid calling him a bald-faced liar?......

"the worst recovery in the history of probably economics but certainly our country’s history"

With the New Deal, FDR helped the country recover from the depression. Republicans still claim it just prolonged the recovery. So despicable lies are nothing new.

That said, the last two recessions have bad difficult recoveries, due in part to the global economy - so job growth picks up some where else, etc.

The Obama economy is still going strong! The Trump economy will hit us hard in the next year or so. God these people are thick. They can't realize that the government, thank goodness, is huge and it takes a while to destroy or mend it.
