I guess this is going to hurt....but here it is: Trump's winning streak rivals one of the greatest streaks in sports by Steve Cortes | May 15, 2018 01:00 PM unemployment rate fell to 3.9 percent, falling under 4 percent for the first time since 2000. Even better, unlike during the Obama presidency, the low jobless rate was not due to people giving up and leaving the workforce. Instead, since Trump’s election, almost 1 million new workers have re-entered the labor market. That movement toward self-sufficiency reaps myriad benefits for our society including more stable families, lower crime, and less government dependency. In fact, an amazing 2 million Americans stopped receiving food stamps during fiscal 2017.

This trend particularly benefits minorities. For example, in U.S. history, Hispanic unemployment has registered below 5 percent for only seven months, ever. Amazingly, six of those seven months have occurred in the past year under the pro-growth policies of this president. If President Trump is as racist as media pundits claim he is, he’s remarkably bad at it. A strong America at home supports a strong America abroad as well. On the international scene, this commander in chief, in contrast to his two predecessors, is restrained in his use of American might, but also clear-eyed in his admonitions to our adversaries. Last week, he took strong action against the awful Iran nuclear deal. Trump recognizes that allowing Iran to simultaneously pursue both advanced nuclear power technology and potent ballistic missiles sets the stage for a very dangerous Tehran regime in years to come. Moreover, Trump showed our allies in the Middle East (Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia) that he will not let the corporatist globalists of Western Europe dictate American policy toward the corrupt mullahs of Iran. The incredible capture of five top Islamic State leaders last week showed the potency of Americans working in concert with our friends in the region. [Also read: ‘Blue Wave’ flattens, Trump wave builds, tops Dems on economy, security] Speaking of our friends, at long last America made good on our promise to our ally Israel and moved our embassy to Jerusalem. In doing so, Trump showed that campaign promises actually matter, and that we believe that Jerusalem is both the capital of the modern state of Israel as well as the eternal capital of all Jewish people. On the other side of Asia, Trump set the date and location for the historic summit with Kim Jong Un. The recent detente on the peninsula, including an official end to the Korean War, unfolded largely because of Trump’s leadership, according to various South Korean officials. In fact, even the Secretary General of the United Nations concedes that the “straitjacket” pressure of Trump makes a grand denuclearization deal possible. Trump deployed maximum economic restrictions, diplomatic pressure (largely via China), and forceful rhetoric to compel North Korea toward moderation. As a result, with grateful hearts, President Trump and Melania welcomed home three American hostages back to their families and to our land of freedom. So, while the Quixotic mainstream media tilts at Russian and porn-star windmills, President Trump makes America more prosperous and more safe. May he have many more John Wooden-esque win streaks like the one he’s had so far in May.

And I tell you why, because his wealth is actually documented by being pledged to good causes and literally paid out in parts each and every year for everyone to see and verify. He is the last person, though who would brag about his success and wealth.
Nobel price in economics and peace... Definitely... PS what is it with your clinical psychosis about Obama? When will you let this man rest in peace. Your hard on for a black dude from Harvard who runs circles around your iq is sickening ...
Mr Struddle you must have blown a head gasket. I have nothing against Obama. Please read the article and let me know what you disagree with. There must be something in it for you.
You have nothing against Obama? You are so obsessed about this guy that some of us are worried whether you are hedging some inner dirty fantasies between you and him. What happened? Has he not shaken your hand on a past campaign rally and that is why you turned against him?
Mr Struddle you are about to be sent to the garbage bin at the ignore section. Come up with coherent ideas we can discuss if you can. Personal attacks are so....low class.
Maybe he should run for President again. It would be fun to watch for the two weeks that his campaign lasts, as last time.
If he runs again, I am sure he will be popular in the flyover states. He has probably even seen pictures of some of them.
