Trump's Economy Approval Rating Drops Below 50% For The First Time In 3 Years

From the article:

More and more Americans are losing confidence in President Donald Trump’s ability to handle the economy, according to the latest Gallup poll that found his economic approval rating has dropped to 47 percent in June, a 16-point decrease from numbers reported at the beginning of the year. The poll was the first to show an economic approval rating below 50 percent since November 2017 (when 45 percent of Americans approved).

“In January, Americans were mostly positive about U.S. economic conditions, a record few cited the economy as the nation’s top problem and a solid majority approved of Trump’s handling of the economy,” Gallup reports. “Today, Americans’ views have turned negative, they are more likely to name the economy as the top problem and Trump’s job approval rating on the issue has dropped below 50%.”

All to hide the enormous transfer of wealth from workers to the rich.

The GOP incurs massive debt, and insists on fiscal austerity when the Democrats are in charge.

Trump, like all republicans ran up a deficit to give the rich tax cuts. In a good economy. And got temporary results.

I have 2 credit cards with between them over 60K in limits. If I blew them out it would be a fun year.
