Unemployment is down (especially for minorities) & wages are up. Stock market is not doing too badly. And this all happened during the biggest witchhunt of our lifetimes.
Unemployment figures (as opposed to employment figures), I’ve already touched on regarding the usefulness of the data, the Fed pretty much discount it now. The stock market is doing ok primarily due to QE being supportive of asset prices. The S&P 500 is overvalued by virtually any normal metrics. It would take some serious earnings upgrades to make the index look fair value. At a time of falling consumption and poor PMI figures that seems unlikely.
You seem to want to make this all about Trump and grasp at any straw when really all I’ve said was that the economy is not soaring.

Congress passed a resolution to disengage US forces from the war in Yemen.
Good news right?
Nope. Trump used his veto power
https://reason.com/2019/04/16/so-much-for-the-anti-war-president/Also, Amash is correct that this resolution should not have been needed. However Congress has abdicated it's power to the Executive for so long this sounds strange to most people

Meanwhile the Democrats are more concerned with his tax returns. That tells us everything we need to know about them.
