Sarah Sanders Asks A #Triggering Question

Trump/Russia collusion. Sexual assault. Russia. Fake News. Russia again. These are the topics that have dominated the news cycle over the course of the last year. Seldom do we hear about the GOOD things happening in the country.

Cue Sarah Sanders. She has an end-of-the-year question.

Which is the more underreported story of @POTUS Year One?
-Defeat of ISIS
-Booming Trump economy

Ooooooooh. Cue the hate.

If the economy is so booming why do we need a tax cut?

— Mr. B's (@KentBenjamin1) December 17, 2017

It's "booming" thanks to Obama turning around George Ws recession. Trump has nothing to do with it.

— J Gerling (@jgerling) December 17, 2017

The fact that @potus has very little to do with either?

— Erich McElroy (@erichmcelroy) December 17, 2017

The booming economy has more to do with Obama than it does with Trump… COME ON, Sarah… you know how economic growth works… it's not instantaneous at inauguration day

— Ryan Fagan for 51A (@FaganFor51A) December 17, 2017

I’m sorry, but if you actually believe that Barack Obama is responsible for the booming economy…you’re beyond help.

Both equally are not real

Please tell me how Trump defeated ISIS? And how did he effect the economy? (other than keep a speculative stock market moving upwards cause of Obama. And only because people are investing based on the fact that he’s going to give huge incentives to big businesses). You lyin goon.

Does it ever occur to you that you’re the 3rd string player in this position in the 1st quarter of play in this game ?, you’re there because you are weak, morally maluable, completely ignorant on how the co/equal branches of government work and incapable of calling an audible.

And so on. There’s a lot of butthurt.

Now I will say that I’m not sure we can say ISIS is completely “defeated,” although it’s experienced some serious setbacks. The Trump administration’s approach is far more effective than Obama’s.

Amazing how much safer & more prosperous America is after only one year of President @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/Wb8Wky46RS

Plus, he nominated Neil Gorsuch to serve on the Supreme Court AND patched up our relationship with Israel. There’s more where that came from (from confirming appellate judges to telling the UN to suck it), but Trump’s not ignoring the MAGA agenda.

Imagine what the next three years will bring. Hopefully, they’ll get more done legislatively too! The GOP tax bill will get rid of Obamacare’s individual mandate, but I want to see them get rid of Obamacare completely. And the wall. BRING ON THE WALL!
