President Trump's First Year Was Good, But Stick To The Facts

We Are Done Listening to Lies


 We Are Smarter & More Aware Than You Believe Us To Be 


"Is our a 'government of the people by the people for the people,' or a Kakistocracy rather, for the benefit of knaves at the cost of fools" - James Russell Lowell, 1876 
The Current and Past 2 Liars

Come on Mr. Trump and stop with all your exaggerations and lies man! You are the President of The United States of America.

We Have Access To The Truth

We all have phones more powerful than the computers NASA was privy to in 1969. So we can just look at our phones and say "Hey Google..."; "Hey Siri..." and check your statements.

You Embarrass Us

Further, the people you govern, independent of how they voted, care about who represents them. We also are embarrassed when you show your stupidity spouting or tweeting some ridiculous lies.

You donkeys remember when Barry forgot the Un in Affordable, and it was mistakenly named the Affordable Care Act?

Mr. G.W. Bush, is it possible that you were trying to prove your estimated IQ of 125 was indeed 81? Lord, you sure had a way of coming across as the dumbest person in the vicinity. Mr. Bush every single time you tried to say something meaningful, you just went full-blown Texas Ass Big on the Dumbass dint-cha? You could not help yourself.

And Mr. Clinton, you little pervert, you redefined the boundaries for all those that thought commitment, partnership, and marriage were about something.

You All Fall Short On Ethics And Integrity

I suppose the oval office has a way of changing your understanding of core values, you know the behaviors and characteristics we perceive our Founding Fathers to possess.

You all fall brutally short of the ethical behavior my four-year-old son shows; and, it is unknown if he even knows wrong vs. right yet.

I Do Not Think You Intend To Deceive Us

I do not think any of you men nor all of the ones in modern history that were given the responsibility of the presidency actually intended to become stoned out goofball jackholes.

However, Lord is it possible to get a miracle to help our boy Donald J. Trump? He is just beyond ridiculous on the liar scale.

Yes, President Trump, I understand it, you are something new, a change, you speak from the hip, and whatever other excuses for your dumbassery, the right-wing nuts will post in your defense. But I am growing tired of hearing about your lies. I am wondering if you approach your role as President with the same low level of preparation that you put forth when Tweeting?

The Best We Have, Really?

It blows my mind that Hillary Clinton (Clinton V2) was the best candidate the DNC could produce. Moreover, the Democrats already voiced their opinion on her when she lost the party's nomination to Obama.

Then to top it off the Democrats wanted Trump to win the GOP Nomination. Again, I ask all of you, were Hillary and The Donald the best we could muster for Presidential candidates?

Are you all on some sort of hallucinogen? If so, you should pass some legislation and sell that shit you are taking over the counter. Perhaps if we had some, we would see your distorted reality.

Let's Check The Facts On Statements That Matter

Mr. President, we do not care about your ridiculous Tweets. For example, how could you believe your State of The Union Address in 2018 was the most watched in history? Get over yourself, as a constituent I care about our country's overall health not what you think of yourself. So, now here are some essential facts about your first year in office. It was not bad at all you have done well, not the best in history, not even close, but you have done well.


Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) 2000-2017

Chained Dollars," Gross Domestic Product (accessed February 5, 2018)

Trump's First Year GDP

Your first year in office resulted in a real GDP increase of 2.3%. As many have pointed out, Obama's first year in office was not as prosperous, and the Real GDP was a dismal -2.86%.  However, Trump's 2.3% is far from the best in history, even recent history. Clinton, GW Bush, and Obama all had at least 3 years higher. In fact, every year of Clinton's presidency produced a GDP above 2.65%. Moreover, Trump's first year GDP was less than 2.57% the average GDP for all Republicans since 1961.


The GDP Under Democrats vs. Republicans

The average REAL GDP under a Democrat as president averages 3.52% since 1961; and, 2.57% under Republicans during the same time.

President Trump your first year REAL GDP pales in comparison to those that have come before you. 

The Total Hours Worked During Trump's First Year

President Trump congratulations as the population increased so did the total number of hours worked by salary and hourly workers in the nonfarm sectors. Your 249.667 billion was 1.56% higher than Obama's last year. This indeed allows you to boast about the having the highest number in this category. Your percent change, however, is nothing to brag about. The previous four presidents all saw percent changes higher than yours.


Levels of Unemployment

President Trump, once again you are correct that your 4.1% unemployment rate is low. However, it is not the lowest in history. In 2000, the US unemployment rate was 4.0% as it was in 1956. The lowest unemployment rate was 2.9% in 1953. Other lower unemployment rates include 3.2% in 1952, 3.7% in 1951, and 3.4% in 1948.

According to IECONOMICS this translates to the number of unemployed persons in the United States increased to 6,684,000 from 6,576,000 during December 2017. But, the number of employed persons rose to 154,430,000 from 154,021,000 in December 2017.

The all-time average for unemployed persons remains at 6,606,880, and the projection for February 2018 is 6,721,990. Employed Persons averaged 104,180,650 and is projected to be 154,488,770 in February 2018.

Twitter Advice for President Trump

Just stop.

To The Other Elected Federal Officials

We all know that the success and failures are not determined by only the President. Mr. Trump you might want to realize that you alone are not responsible for any of the above data. So here is a message to those of you serving in Congress: get over your damn selves and realize you are one of us too; and, your responsibility is to serve our desires not that of only 4 or 5 donors.


Yes, PAUL RYAN I AM LOOKING AT YOU.
