@Hedgeflexlfz GDP means nothing, it just means that rich people are bringing more money into the country, it doesn't mean anyone is going to get the benefits of said extra money, especially now the rich don't pay tax. US unemployment is been going down at the exact same rate since Obama, Trump had no effect on it, it continues to drop at the exact same rate as it was pre-Trump. Deregulation just means that the workers are getting payed less than ever for ridiculous jobs that aren't even guaranteed to exist a few years from now. And now with no unions or workers rights, it just means as soon as they can afford it, employers are just going to sack their employees in favor of robots, just like Jeff Bezos, he has removed nearly all his factory workers and is removing staff in stores, and he can afford to do all this because he pays no tax.

@lebronkingjames9255 GDP means nothing to the quality of life in a country, it's just numbers, you can't quantify the happiness and contentment of a population. The GDP of North Korea is almost 3x what it is in Liechtenstein, yet anyone would rather live in Liechtenstein. As I previously mentioned, the unemployment rate has been going down steadily for over a decade, all Trump did was not create more unemployment, something to be expected not celebrated.
Most of these things do not affect workers when they improve, as just because a company is making more money, it doesn't mean they give the profits to the workers. It means that the CEOs get a pay rise. When the economy crashes, it does affect workers, as when companies are losing money, they sacrifice the workers to stay afloat. The workers get the worst possible deal.
I never voted for Obama, nor did I agree with the vast majority of his policies. Why do you think that the opposite of Trump is Obama?
