......Now it should be the rallying cry for the Trump campaign.

It will be up to the president to keep selling the message that his policies are working pretty much just as he predicted, and certainly far better than the Mark Zandis of the world expected.

Trump does have a lot to brag about.

As Steve Moore has been pointing out recently, median household incomes have shot up by more than $5,000 just since 2017, which is far more than they climbed during the entire 7½ years after the recession ended under President Barack Obama.

“This is a bonanza for the middle class, and the extra income in tens of millions of Americans’ pockets is getting spent. Consumers are king in America today, and fatter wallets translate into more store sales. Home Depot and Lowe’s recently recorded huge sales surges,” he wrote in his latest column.

An intriguing article by Cincinnati Enquirer columnist Jason Williams shows how strong a case Trump has in many parts of the country. Williams went back to his poverty-stricken hometown of Gallipolis in southeast Ohio – 125 miles south of where the last Democratic debate was held.

Williams found, seemingly to his chagrin, that “the residents have optimism like I haven’t seen in a long time. Gallia County’s unemployment rate is 5.6%, the lowest it has been since 1979. Most of the storefronts in Gallipolis again have businesses.”

In focusing on the economy, Trump should consider dusting off another famous election motto. This one from President Ronald Reagan, in which he asked voters, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”

Even most of Trump’s most virulent haters will have to admit that the answer is yes.
