President Trump is expected to boast of a “great American comeback” on Tuesday night's State of the Union address, a clear shift in rhetoric from the “American carnage” he spoke of in his dark inaugural speech
President Donald Trump will use his State of the Union address Tuesday night to pull out the strongest card in his reelection deck: a U.S. economy that continues to chug along despite impeachment, trade wars and the most bombastic, polarizing president in modern American history.
Still, Trump is expected to boast of a “great American comeback” on Tuesday night, a clear shift in rhetoric from the “American carnage” he spoke of in his dark inaugural speech in 2017. And he will likely to take the opportunity to indicate that while he will look to further reduce taxes as a second-term president, his Democratic opponents would jack up tax rates and possibly jeopardize stock market gains that have lifted Americans’ retirement accounts.
Trump will have to make this economic case without letting on that he’s not delivered on many of his boldest promises. The TPP was meant as a multilateral challenge to China rather than the unilateral one Trump has pursued to mixed success so far. Trump junked it in one of his first acts in office.growth in the United States by about 0.12 percent, though it does include higher labor standards that could help American workers.follows a clear line
And it’s true, as Trump supporters note, that Obama’s economy was showing signs of slowing when he left office, with GDP growth of 1.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016. But overall, Obama had multiple quarters of robust growth, including over half a dozen over 3 percent and several over 4 percent. Obama’s high-water mark came in the third quarter of 2014 when growth raced ahead 5.2 percent. So making the case that Trump has presided over a great American comeback could be challenging.
