NEW JOBS: 312,000 UNEMPLOYMENT: 3.9% WAGE GROWTH: 3.2% GDP GROWTH 3.5% I didn't vote for Trump but it's impossible to deny his administration's policies are doing more to help America's poorest families than your well-intentioned policies ever have.

Point to the specific policies that have improved the people's lives on the bottom half of the economic ladder.
-
Lower regulations and taxes have created an economic environment in which businesses hire more workers and pay them more (hence historic low unemployment and wage growth) but the most encouraging are the people reentering the work force and record low unemployment for minorities.
-
Unemployment rose recently. More hires aren't happening.
-
I literally just cited the new hires number friend.
-
You *literally* only cited the unemployment rate but didn't mention that it rose.
-
... yes because I listed what it currently is, but if you'd like a chart here's one:pic.twitter.com/MF9YDkVIlP

My point is that while yes, 312k people did get hired last month, the overall unemployment rate rose so it is disingenuous to say that businesses are hiring more workers.

The President won the race on promise to build the wall. Americans want it. Why not release the funds for the wall?
-
The president won the race on the promise to build a wall that Mexico would pay for. Less than 30% of Americans want it. Senate Democrats offered to release $25bn in wall funding in exchange for DACA last year and were rebuffed.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/us/politics/immigration-senate-dreamers.html …

Your point on a deal that includes DACA is a valid one but l am not sure about your assertion that less than 30% of Americans want the wall. The wall was central to the President's run for office. That could be a contradiction.
-
Trump won with a minority of votes and a low turnout overall. Support for the wall coincides with his base, around 30%.
-
Trump won in accordance with US Constitution via electoral college and his mandate includes the wall. California and New York do not speak for the other 48 states so try again skippy.
-
That still does not indicate he won with a majority vote - he did not. He had a smaller percentage than Romney when Romney lost! So Montana doesn't speak for Illinois, skippy.
-
Majority vote means diddly squat literally every time.

Well, IDK if you've heard the president but he's looking for some cooperation regarding his plans for a southern boarder wall. The three branches of government need to come together to make this happen. You guys in the house can't do everything yourselves, thank God.

Hé was offered $25bn for his wall last year in exchange for DACA and turned it down.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/us/politics/immigration-senate-dreamers.html …

He wasn't offered anything. The Senate rejected, which I believe was a mistake.pic.twitter.com/f8o9X6a3mY

Why doesn’t he just have Mexico pay for it, like he said they would?
-
They are with new trade deals. What did you think they were going to write us a check. LOL!
