You know, I've let it slide, and gone along with "we just have different measures".
But you've overplayed. The economy is not "doing so much better" under Trump than other presidents since Bush1.0/Early Clinton. Using your model of "Real Wages", as outlined by the
bureau of labor and statistics (Average weekly earnings of production and nonsupervisory employees, 1982-84 dollars, total private, seasonally adjusted), boomed in '73, fell sharply '75, '82, and '91. It has not recovered since '73, and under every president since Clinton's first term, there's been ups and downs, but largely universal ups. Saying it is, is similar to saying climate change is not real because this year is colder than last. Once you look on a realistic time line, and not only what you want to point out, you have a bigger nose than I have ****. Which is to say pretty damn big.
There is no grand conspiracy against a guy that's ****ing average. There's a guy that needs to beg, borrow, cheat, and steal to almost reach to an average level.
