LOL -- So much for Trumpolini's "victory lap"

[CatWoman]

At work this morning I saw that Trump called a press conference to brag on "his" economy (didn't watch it).

Got home and all I see is negative news for the orange turd -- not one word about "his" economy.

Looks like Cohen has stolen his thunder.

1. The "Trump Russia/Cohen isn't my fixer anymore" narrative is like a runaway train.

The Trump scandals are too many and too big.

2. Reality WILL insist on intruding,

anytime der dRumpfenfuhrer wants to brag about his job performance.

3. I suppose it's all hero time in bubbleland though. n/t

6. It's always hero time in bubble land

4. He'll blame the "fake news" for not catering to his delusions.

5. They Spike the economy with taxpayer money and they expect everybody to cheer

8. Plus, a lot of it was purchasing managers rushing to stock up before the trade wars start biting

I noticed also that the BEA "revised" its historical data - just in time for this 4.1% showing.

Reminds me of Bush's claims the economy was growing, well into '07 and '08, by using 1 or 2% inflation to measure it against.

One of Rove's bright ideas, no doubt ("turd blossoms," as Dubya would refer to them).

10. Taxpayer 'credit card' money,

to be correct. We're borrowing all of it.

7. President Obama had four GDP quarters

that were as good or better but dumbass said his was the best in decades, yuge.

9. Radio Hannity said the same. Obama never once hit 3% and was "Food Stamp President".
