MAKING AMERICAN JOBS GREAT AGAIN!!!

The Trump  economy continues to move forward as 209,000 jobs were created in July, 2017. That is more than the expected 183,000 and also unemployment dropped to 4.3%, he lowest since March, 2001.  The number of employed people jumped by 345,000 to 153,513,000 in July, setting a third straight monthly record. Try and spin these numbers MSM. None of this would be happening had Hillary Clinton been elected. This is what Americans are concerned about, JOBS! Not Russia, jobs!

To Democrats, the LEFT, the MSM and establishment Republicans, try, just try and overturn an election by WE THE PEOPLE and see what happens. I dare you. The United States has a president that is doing things and creating an economic environment for the people and for some sick, selfish reason the individuals previously referenced are trying to present it. Trust me, keep up the BS and their will be a political judgment day.
