What you see as resurgence, I see as blundering around damaging long established alliances for little or no gain and random demands for renegotiation of deals simply so the President can try to claim some kind of "victory" even if ultimately there are no significant differences in the end results.
If you prefer a stagnant economy, millions more illiterate peasants, and government controlling your life there are several liberal utopias I can recommend? You ready to leave? Be brave, leave....
Don't be any more of a jackhole than you have to be. The economy wasn't "stagnant" before Trump came on board. Every indicator had been climbing relatively steadily since the bottom of the great recession. The fact is, conservative simply refused to believe it. Here's a graph that shows U.S. GDP:  So claims of a "stagnant" economy are simply conservative revisionist history. You guys simply CANNOT admit that anything good happened under the Obama administration. We don't need more GDP growth, however, not that more GDP growth is a bad thing. What we need is more sharing of the benefits of that GDP growth. Putting more money into the hands of the richest isn't going to get you or me more wealth. So simply "growing GDP" is not this wonderful solution to all the nation's problems that you seem to think it is.
"What we need is more sharing of the benefits of that GDP growth." If you want to live in a sharing hippie community then move to Cuba, I would so love to see you live in a country that has achieved economic equality. Can you build a raft?
And that, right there, is the mentality that will destroy this nation. Always justify greed and the exploitation of everyone, in the name of "capitalism". I've seen socialism destroy many countries, I can't think of a single small government free market country that wound up like Greece or Venezuela?
Help a brotha out...
Are you building your raft?

Name any county in the world worthy of admiration that doesn't have some level of socialism. Then you'll have to correlate that success to socialism .... you can't.
