If you were to review how CNN and corporate mainstream media talk politics, well, according to their echo-chambered versions of President Trump, each week that passes is the worst week ever in presidential history. Seriously, no joke. President Trump has been in office for 30 weeks, and 20 of those weeks have been called “the worst” by media.

However, if you actually engage with people living their lives and not focused on who the media blame for the latest round of horrid offenses; well, then you might recognize the scope of how over-emphasized and out-of-touch the media perspective really is.

CBS and The Associated Press each found themselves picking their corporate media jaws off the floor when they actually did ask people. You know, ordinary people. Folks like you and me. The media didn’t anticipate the power of common sense to see through their BS.

With the president under fire voters have some things to say, and it’s not what the media thought. CBS Mark Strassmann begins by speaking to three women who voted for President Trump. Watch: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/

“It can’t be done”, they said. “There’s no way Trump can achieve 4.0% economic growth” they said. The Congressional Budget Office said economic projections were “improbable”, they said…. “Impossible”, they said.

Yeah, well, Donald Trump said: “Impossible is just the starting point“. And now:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The U.S. economy is on track to expand at a 4.0 percent annualized pace in the third quarter with inventory investment contributing 1.12 percentage points to growth, the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDP Now forecast model showed on Thursday. (read more)

How is this possible? Well, if you’ve never had to wash your hands with Lava – it might seem impossible. For those who have washed with Lava, it’s simple common sense.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, is the growth in value of all goods and services produced within the economy over a specified period of time. A key part of that equation is the sum total of exported goods minus imported goods is part of the measure. Only the stuff created in the U.S. increases the growth dynamic. If you import more, the GDP shrinks. It’s simple arithmetic.

If you grow exports, and maintain a constant on imported products, the net lowering of the trade deficit adds to GDP growth. It’s not a hard equation. If our economy is making more stuff, our economy is growing.

There is a massive economic surge making noise just on the other side of the horizon; best understood within the following dichotomy:

♦ Manufacturing automation reduces the need for human capital.

♦ The outsourcing of U.S. manufacturing is due to lower labor costs overseas.

The inability to square that modern ideological and economic circle lies at the heart of a new economic paradigm, a second American economic revolution.

When W Edwards Demming exported his post world war II industrial manufacturing management skill to Japan, the key export was not technological – it was psychological.

There is something very unique to the American labor market that does not exist within global competitors; the ability to innovate, to think outside the box.

Within the culture of Americanism lies a very specific DNA strain that is non-conformational, or anti-status-quo. It’s an immeasurable and unquantifiable factor in the success of American economic exceptionalism. No other nation has found a way to duplicate it; the closest anti-establishment cultural sensibility is Australia.

What has been missing for the past three decades has been a very specific set of economic policies that takes advantage of the independent nature of the American Enterprise system. President Donald Trump represents the first main street policy-maker with the ammunition to unleash this potential. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/08/19/atlanta-fed-estimates-u-s-third-quarter-gdp-growing-at-4-0-percent/
