Good Economy Immunizes President & Makes His Progressive Enemies Look Irrelevant

Good times immunize a president and make his over-the-top domestic enemies look irrelevant.

Had we suffered zero growth and high unemployment, Trump's enemies would have had some traction in their demands that he quiet down and focus on the economy.

About the only events that overshadow a good economy and threaten to destroy a reelection bid or a second term in boom times are unpopular wars such as Vietnam or the second Iraq War, or a major scandal that leads to real convictions, as in Watergate.

One reason AOC's Green New Deal is rightly acknowledged as unhinged is that Trump's conventional economy is robust.

In sum, if Trump continues the good times, his tweets are irrelevant.

Contrarily, the more the economy hums along, the more ridiculous the obsessive "Get Trump" fixations become.

For now, Democratic charges that Trump is supposedly like no other president in his callousness are ignored because Trump's booming economy is factually like no other recent president's in its vigor.
