Can Trump ride a full-throttle economy to get away from Mueller by writerknowles
Donald Trump’s reelection hinges on which side of the split-screen portrayal of his presidency voters will focus on.
Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: “Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.” The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment. And yet, for all those gloomy clouds, on the right-hand side of the screen, the country’s economic outlook is decidedly brighter.
Still, for Trump, who has declared victory on the economy at nearly every possible opportunity over the past two years, April’s strong jobs figures gave him something else to tout. Indeed, Trump’s approval rating on the economy hit a new high of 56 percent in a CNN poll released Thursday. So why isn’t he a shoo-in for another four-year term?
