"Our country is doing so well, possibly as well as it's ever done," the President declared. "I don't think it's ever done like this."

(CNN)President Donald Trump was in the East Room of the White House on Friday to trumpet the six-month anniversary of his tax cuts, the singular legislative achievement of his presidency so far.

But as his teleprompter instructed him to rattle off statistics about the tax law, Trump determined it was the time and place for a bigger celebration.

"Our country is doing so well, possibly as well as it's ever done," the President declared. "I don't think it's ever done like this."

As a statement about the country, Trump's remark is debatable. Thousands of immigrant children remain separated from their parents after crossing the southern border illegally. Another mass shooting took the lives of five journalists in Maryland. Traditional US alliances appear to be fracturing.

1. goes along with his other "truthful" statements like " I will release my tax returns"...

7. He'll never release his tax returns. Ever.

He knows there is no one who will or probably can make him do it, so fuck you, America.

2. Should have stopped at "I don't think."

3. Trump is Right with One Caveat - Only For the Top 1/2%

The remaining 90.5% are footing the bill.

4. He's repeating a statement he made on January 20, 2017.

And it has been downhill from that point on.

5. It's not like we were in a depression when he took over...

Simple Keynesian politics have spurred the economy, but it will be at great cost in the long run. Perhaps sooner than later? His policies are doomed to failure.
