WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. economy under his watch has been extraordinary. His tweeted descriptors of the economy include "BOOMING"; "GREAT!"; "Stronger than ever!"; "Perhaps the greatest ECONOMY and most successful first two years of any President in history." But a slew of recent data suggests that Trump’s economy has fared no differently from others during expansion phases. And those same numbers suggest it may be headed toward a downturn. |
