Trump's Second Term

The American People elected me to deliver HISTORIC Economic Results, and now, I have a new responsibility, reporting our incredible results because the Fake News refuses to do it.
S&P Global reported this week that U.S. Business Growth is at its HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN FIVE YEARS and, if you take out the distorted COVID Reopening figures, the mark goes back even further.
What does that mean? MORE ORDERS, MORE OUTPUT, MORE AMERICAN WORKERS BEING HIRED. Manufacturing is growing, Businesses are expanding, and Demand is STRONG.
And there’s more:
U.S. REAL MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME is now the HIGHEST EVER RECORDED. The United States Poverty Rate is at its LOWEST LEVEL ON RECORD. U.S. Goods Exports in 2026 are on pace for their HIGHEST LEVEL IN HISTORY, and Trillions and Trillions of Dollars of new Investments are pouring into the United States.
If anyone else were President, this would be all the Media would talk about. But because no one ever wants to give me credit, no one is talking about these Historic Numbers.
Business is growing. Americans are earning more money than ever before, Poverty is at its All Time Lowest Level, and Exports are surging!
The FAKE NEWS and DUMOCRATS hate these reports, and these Record Setting Numbers. They hate the TRUTH, and they hate the Great Success that our Country is having. Just look at the Numbers — THE BEST IN HISTORY.
VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN AND “TRUMP” CANDIDATES IN THE MIDTERMS. WE HAVE ALREADY MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, BUT NOW WE WILL REACH NEW LEVELS OF GREATNESS. IT IS MY HONOR TO BE YOUR PRESIDENT, DURING SUCH AN EXCITING TIME!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is a good example of the misuse of statistics. Medians are not a fair representation when you have skewed data. The median is the half way point between Musk and the poorest person. Essentially if you halved Musks income you get the median. The median is hugely influenced by a few very rich people and not at all by having growing numbers in poverty. The mode (the most common income) would be a better representation. A geometric mean might also be a possible option.
 
that is incorrect.
The Average is the middle between Musk and the poorest person.
The Median is the point at which there are as many people richer as there are poorer.
The global median wealth is ~$9,000.
The US individual median wealth is ~$69,000.
what the household wealth is depends a lot on how you count.

The median, is the middle income when you stack all the world's incomes in order. It's going to be heavily weighed down by the billions of very low incomes. It's not influenced at all by Musk's wealth. You could bust him and all billionaires down to minimum wage and it would not affect the world median income because they would still be above the centre line, which Google tells me is $4,000 per year.

The mode is not particulary useful because individual incomes are very close to being unique. The most common income is likely to be the one where some quirk causes a lot of employees to have exactly the same income, e.g. some communist payment scheme or something like the US minimum wage.

Too much math. We need some simple tool to show MAGA that the GOP will never get them or even their kids to wealth. Reagan fooled my dad at age 55. I told him he is not wealthy enough to get anything from Reagan. We never spoke politics again. We need some democratic version of Trump who can just with simplifications explain all this to the voter. Policy schmolicy. "We are going to build houses and you can have one in 10 years" is not what they want to hear.

Donald Trump: "We have the best, uhh, I guess you could say poverty. They talk poverty. We have the best poverty numbers ever in the history of our country."

(Best Poverty?)

The administration is certainly doing a good job of boosting poverty: The great vision of the spangled future, the proud loyal poor cheering by the roadside as the big black SUV's roll through the golden arch, tears in their eyes, yelling "more, more."

What a sociopath. He lives in a world so insulated from reality by the sycophants he's surrounded himself with that he's learned he can lie egregiously and without consequence. He's a machine running on a simple algorithm of immediate self-gratification. There's nothing remotely human driving him.

He is an old-timey slimy used car salesman, a carnival barker, hawking a worthless economic version of True Coat™ which 40% +/- of the U.S. voting public seem willing to buy.

BIG DAY FOR AMERICAN AUTO WORKERS AND CAR BUYERS!
I have just approved new Fuel Economy Standards that TERMINATE Sleepy Joe Biden and Pete Boot-EDGE-EDGE's ridiculous EV Mandate.
The Dumocrats cost our Great Auto Manufacturers $Billions, forced Americans into cars they never wanted, and wasted Billions on Chargers that were never built.
These new Standards will take the waste out of building cars in America. That means LOWER PRICES, saving families thousands on a new, beautiful, and safe car — Far better than the Environmental Monsters that we were building heretofore.
Every Manufacturer, from General Motors to Ford to Stellantis, has called me wanting to build here, and now they can!
Under my Administration, over 100 $Billion is being invested in American Autos, and that's just the beginning.
The Plants are coming back, and Jobs are returning, to Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, and all over our Country.
Thank you to our Great Secretaries of Transportation and Commerce, Sean Duffy and Howard Lutnick.
AMERICA IS BACK. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

He's just this stupid and shortsighted. As are his idiot cultists. The world is passing him and them by, and they don't even know it.

Of course, that is the problem. Real solutions to poverty, crime and housing shortage take time. And cost money.
Pretend solutions to problems that don't really exist like children being forced into transsexuality or caravans of billions of dog eating brown people are easy to offer and sound great. And then when nothing happens, you blame Biden/Obama

It'll happen right after he saves all those Carrier jobs in Indiana.

This is such ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊. It isn't about making cars better, safer and more affordable. It's about maximizing the auto industry's profit margins and stock values. They aren't going to suddenly start building, or even reopening, factories in the U.S., they're going to cut their costs by bribing the most corrupt administration in U.S. history to allow them to roll back environmental regulations, which will benefit the oil companies too. They're still going to make as much of it overseas as they can, with cheap labor, and they're still going to inflate the prices of what are essentially commercial trucks by adding leather upholstery, alloy wheels and sat/nav touch screens.
