ONCE AGAIN, Grampy reminds us that America's not dancing in the streets over his economy because we're stupid

Trump cast his administration as the architect of an economic rebound, crediting it with bringing down prices and restoring growth.

“We inherited high prices and we got the prices down, and we got them down to numbers that in some cases people have not seen before,” the president said.

But in the middle of his economic celebration, Trump appeared to acknowledge a problem hanging over his message.

“We have an economy, people aren’t seeing it yet,” he said.

He talks in these vague terms all the time. Please sir, give us an example of something you brought the price down to levels never seen before.

Everyone talking about it. Everybody knows. People are saying I inherited the worst economy anyone's ever seen.
Never seems to get pushback, and of course it's always next to the helicopter or in a doorway to symbolize how busy he is.
The guy who said he would be to busy to play golf.........
