Taking credit for the economy is a risky proposition because there are some things that just cannot be controlled - and if they go south, you are possibly going to take the blame as well. To me, it's similar to betting on the Kanye wave to hold up - you can't control it and it's a gun that points both ways. It would seem a better strategy to simply let people enjoy the good that's happening and let it translate into enthusiastic votes instead of taking credit for things that could bite you once you own them. I have to assume they know what they are doing, however. So far, the plan is solid.
This ship is looking pretty good to me. If you have an open mind, you can see the possibilities in what is happening, although peril still floats in the water so caution is prudent. Closed minds see what they want to see and I admit to a certain amount of glee at rubbing it in their faces when the time comes - which I believe it will. In my opinion, President Trump will deliver a good ending to the Iran situation next, but not before freaking people out - and when it happens, they will find any way possible to deny him any applause due. By that time, I think they will have stopped being able to fool people, though.
WTF is John Kerry doing? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm....

"With the Iran deal facing its gravest threat since it was signed in 2015, Kerry has been on an aggressive yet stealthy mission to preserve it, using his deep lists of contacts gleaned during his time as the top US diplomat to try to apply pressure on the Trump administration from the outside."
