Donald Trump plainly admits to lying about his central campaign promises.

What is it with you Republicans inability to accept facts. Sounds like you have the same problem Reagan did after he got outed for selling MISSILES TO IRAN, he said at the time" A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not" What is with the inability to accept the truth. This is how it has worked for years: Republicans fuck up the economy then Democrats clean up the mess and improve the economy, once things start to improve Republicans take credit and promise even more if they are elected. They get elected. Then Republicans fuck up the economy again.

It is too easy to manipulate with statistics... and people are so confident in them.

The reality is a declining labor particpation rate and 95 Mio able-bodied Americans out of a job in America.

 

The reality is people are willing to work for far less in other countries. Americans thumb their nose down at $8/hour. $8/hour gets your 4-5 workers in China, lol, and Americans expect paid medical, dental, paid vacation, etc. Corporate tax rates and trade deals don't change the fact that you can make virtually any product cheaper any where than in America. The other problem -- automation is becoming cheaper than any workers at all. To pay an actual worker to do that job is $25/hour and the robot can work 18-19-20 hours, etc. Do you know even Chinese manufacturers are moving to Africa. I'm pretty sure it's that way with most of the Trump brand products. He & his little princess Ivanka are never going to manufacture any of their crap in the US. They care about themselves and their wallets, only.
