Trump advisers admit economy isn't growing nearly as much as he promised

Trump promised annual growth of more than 4%. His Council of Economic Advisers just predicted this year won't even reach 2.5%.

Trump's 2016 campaign website said he would "[b]oost growth to 3.5 percent per year on average, with the potential to reach a 4 percent growth rate."

He told Fox News in March 2016, that economic growth of "4% or 5%" was "absolutely doable."

That October, in the final general election debate, Trump's promises got even grander. "[W]e're bringing GDP from, really, 1 percent, which is what it is now," he said, "up to 4 percent. And I actually think we can go higher than 4 percent. I think you can go to 5 percent or 6 percent."

As he signed his tax bill in December 2017, cutting taxes for the very rich and large corporations, Trump told the nation the changes would fuel growth that would rise "3%" to "4, 5, and maybe even 6% ultimately."

Trump's economy has not come close to living up to those promises. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced last month that in the third and fourth quarters of 2019, the economy slowed to just 2.1% growth. The nation's gross domestic product grew 2.3% for the year, compared to 2.9% in 2018.

In September 2018, Trump invented a phony quote from President Barack Obama, falsely claiming his predecessor once said he would never achieve 4.2% growth and boasting that he would do even better.

"'President Trump would need a magic wand to get to 4% GDP,' stated President Obama. I guess I have a magic wand," Trump tweeted. "4.2%, and we will do MUCH better than this! We have just begun."

In reality, Obama's 2016 comment had been about manufacturing jobs, not GDP growth. During his two terms in office, Obama achieved quarterly growth of at least 4.2% on three separate occasions.

In no year of Trump's administration has the economy hit even 3% annual growth.

Does your wife know about that fling with your office gal, by the way??
