That's how many manufacturing jobs have been added to the U.S. economy since mid-January of 2017.
I'm sure there are plenty of you ready with the "thanks Obama" chorus, reminding us that their fearless leader was relentlessly priming the economic pump those eight years by raising taxes and growing government.
I remember the Obama who lectured us that "those (manufacturing) jobs aren't coming back." Remember the smirk, the fawning audience, as he directed his comments to Trump during the campaign about what Americans couldn't do anymore?
That was the Obama presidency. Eight years of what we can't do.
Trump is about what we can do.
Manufacturing jobs have been increasing for the last 8 years.
Hmmmm.....yea, ok. The Trumpian thing to do, claim an extraordinary performance for something that is at best average. Prevarication at it's finest.
Manufacturing Jobs ‘Roaring Back’?
"...The employment figures released on Jan. 5 showed an increase of 25,000 manufacturing jobs in December. That resulted, as we said, in a net gain for the year of 196,000 jobs. That was much better than in 2016, when the economy lost 16,000 manufacturing jobs. But it was not as good as 2011 or 2014, when the economy added a little more than 200,000 manufacturing jobs in each of those years..."

I am going to just say this once. If you think Trump is the greatest president, then you have issues.
Check other news than Fox.
He is nothing but a laughing, fucking joke. The United States is in worse shape, then it ever has been.

I'm not even going to read any of this this thread before I post this, but I wonder how long it takes for someone to give all of the credit to President Obama "saving" the economy that that Orange Donny deserves no credit for what he was handed. I've been exposed to too much of that line of thought in this last week.
Andrew KlavanEarly on in a life spent studying the art of storytelling, I came upon an interesting example of narrative power. In his encyclopedic study of mythology, The Masks of God, Joseph Campbell quotes an essay by German ethnologist Leo Frobenius. Frobenius tells of a little girl who plays with three matchsticks, pretending they are Hansel, Gretel and the witch. After a time, she lets out a shriek of terror. When her father asks her what's the matter, she replies, "Daddy! Daddy! Take the witch away!" In her imagination, the matchstick has become the witch she pretended it was.
Something similar has happened to the Democratic Party and its communications arm, by which I mean so-called journalists and Hollywood entertainers. They have convinced themselves that their duty to defeat the demonic evil of Donald Trump overrides their obligations to do their various jobs. Instead of governing, informing and entertaining us, they have spun out a fairy tale of heroic resistance against authoritarian wickedness, conspiracy and corruption. And now, like the little girl in the anecdote, they are shrieking in terror because they believe Donald Trump is what they pretended he is instead of what he is in fact.
What is the president, in fact? Well, without dabbling in psychology or mind-reading — that is, judging only by what we know of his presidential record so far — he seems to be a run-of-the mill conservative Republican who is getting quite a lot done. Oh, and he has an obstreperous personality and a big mouth.
Because most people live in something vaguely resembling the real world, the disparity between the left's hysteria — their imaginings of Russian conspiracy, of Gestapo governance, of abusive power — and the facts of Trump's actual presidency — tax cuts, regulation rollbacks, Constitutional judges and the occasional unruly tweet — makes the self-serious emergency activism of the "resistance" seem like a child's game, a silly fantasy.
And so, instead of the hero's welcome the left always seems to be expecting, the people keep giving them the bum's rush.
250,000 manufacturing jobs added since mid-Jan 2017?
That's great news.
Say, you wouldn't happen to have a link to back up that wonderful number, would you?
Well that contradicts your buddy's contention of eight years of growth...

We were eight years into the reviving of America. It will take more than 14 months to bring it all down, but that last statement of yours is totes dead on, SG. Everyone knows it, too.
What a bang-up job he's doing, too. He brings back the coffee while it's still hot, and he always answers the door when there's a knock.Neil

We were eight years into the destruction of America. It will take more than 14 months to bring it all back, but that last statement of yours is totally false, SG. You know that too.
I took President Obama eight years and 14 months for "his" economy to finally blossom.
"Reviving?"
Must be grand to go through a life where objective standards don't matter at all and you can count on being graded on the curve with some extra credit tacked on because reasons.
