Trump hopes NC speech will bolster his standing on US economy

Trump hopes North Carolina speech will bolster his standing on US economy

Snip...
Trump is set to argue that the U.S. economy is poised for a surge due to his policies and that any problems they are experiencing are the fault of the Democrats.

He contends that he has brought down the price of gasoline, imposed tariffs that are bringing in billions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury and attracted trillions of dollars in investments by foreign allies that will lead to a surge in hiring.

Republicans worry, however, that economic woes could jeopardize their chances in elections next November that will decide whether they will keep control of the House of Representatives and the Senate for the remaining two years of Trump's term.

The speech will take place at a 9 p.m. rally at the convention center in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. That will be a stop on the way to his oceanfront Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where he plans to spend the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

Google maps says im 2800 miles away and my ATM says I’m nearly broke so I can’t make it. But if I could, I’d be there with bells on. And a frog suit.

He has managed to raise taxes on all Americans without even going through Congress with the tariffs. I’m sure that’s why he loves it so much. He doesn’t think he should be restrained by Congress or we the people.

before Christmas at 9pm, he's trying to get an audience to listen to his ramblings, two days after a nationally televised rambling speech. Who in the hell has time for this fool tonight? The White house staff is the stupidest ever! Its the Holidays people!
