My reply to Donald Trump's Easter tweet about China.

500k jobs added since Trump took office.

Trump hasn't passed any economic policies to affect jobs yet. There were ~250k jobs being added per month during the last couple of months of Obama. This 500k over two months is just a continuation of the momentum gained under Obama. Thanks Obama!

Stock market at record highs.

Not denying that there is a 'Trump Bump', but if I drive you 999 miles and you drive the last mile to get us to a thousand, does that mean you drove us a 1000 miles? Obama got us from 7000 to 19500. Trump happened to be there for the last 500 to 20k. So (mostly) thanks Obama!

TPP killed.

Great! Thanks Trump.

Illegal immigration dropping dramatically.

Great! Thanks Trump.

Supreme Court Justice that will respect my gun rights.

Great! But make no mistake about it, the republicans stole that seat from Obama by refusing to even meet with Garland. We'll see how this plays out.

Frozen federal hiring

No opinion. Haven't done enough research to say if this is good or bad.

Cut spending by $60+ billion, while Obama doubled our debt.

Not really a "cut" if that $60B goes right back into an already bloated military budget. It's even worse when you're slashing the EPA to line the pockets of your defense contractor friends.

Not happy about out debt either, but debt almost always increases during a recession, especially a deep one like in 2008. This is basic economics.

Cutting funding to sanctuary cities

Great! Thanks Trump.
