well his sense of history isn't great or his foreign relationships - latest one the Prime Minister of Japan.....
This is from the NY Daily. I quote...
"President Trump is not exactly a history buff.
During intense trade negotiations in June with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Trump made a bizarre reference to the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor, according to a report Tuesday by the Washington Post.
"I remember Pearl Harbor," the President said, before launching into a rant about Japan's trade policies.
Trump has made other odd references to the 1941 attack that left 2,403 Americans dead and prompted the U.S. to join World War II.
The President, born five years after the bombing, flubbed a quote from Franklin Delano Roosevelt last year as he attempted to honor the 76th anniversary of the solemn day.
"National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day -- 'A day that will live in infamy!' December 7, 1941," he tweeted.
When Roosevelt addressed a Joint Session of U.S. Congress nearly eight decades ago, he actually declared Dec. 7 as "a date which will live in infamy."
Trump, while signing a presidential proclamation last year also called the surprise bombing a "pretty wild scene."
Using historical references appears to be a common technique for Trump. In May, Trump reportedly had a testy exchange with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over tariffs.
Trudeau pressed Trump on how he could justify tariffs on steel and aluminum as a "national security" issue.
The President responded by asking Trudeau, "Didn't you guys burn down the White House?"
The War of 1812 reference didn't quite work as it was British troops who torched the White House following an attack by Americans on York, Ontario, a British colony at the time."
Jerk.

Glad to see you as erudite as ever, N :)
I'm merely questioning how much of this is to do with Trump and how much of it is a continuation of underlying US economic strength. A fairly reasonable question in the circumstances, as Trump has only been president for two years, leaving him little time to have had much impact. Even his tax cuts are only a few months old and the full effects are therefore unlikely to have been felt yet.

I mean, let's put it this way: when Trump announced his campaign, he made the rather interesting claim that:
"Our Gross Domestic Product -- a sign of strength, right? But not for us. Below zero! Never below zero."
Who knows what he meant, since (a) Gross domestic product can never be below zero, by definition! and (b) even if he meant "quarterly GDP growth", then it goes below zero rather often, actually, making his claim doubly false.
