Trump on the morning of 6/12 received good news when the labor market in November welcomed 266,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate fell to its lowest level since 1969.
This information came just a day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ordered the House committees to start drafting impeachment terms.
As if seizing the golden opportunity, Trump immediately used the new good news as a "weapon" against the latest Democratic attack. "Without the horrible things that extremists and Democrats have done, the stock market and the economy could be even better," he wrote on Twitter. "And the frontier will be closed to drug crimes, gangs and all the other things! # 2020".
With only 11 months to go until the 2020 presidential election, US voters are wondering between whether to vote for Trump to continue enjoying the economic results he brings or choose another candidate. less fuss and "no abuse of power," the same way the US House of Representatives is accusing Trump.
Trump's campaign is betting that his resolute denial pressures the President of Ukraine to force the country to investigate former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter will eventually be able to convince voters put the impeachment investigation aside. Joe Biden is arguably the number one rival to Trump on the race to the White House.
"President Trump had a perfectly normal phone call with the President of Ukraine and did not affect anyone's normal life," said Brad Parsclale, campaign manager for Trump. "A good job with big income is influential".
This approach of Trump and his aides in the campaign is based entirely on the belief that a good economy is all the voters need for them to keep things in place rather than looking for change. .
"If not for other factors during his tenure, Trump would by far be the most popular president in history, based on economic results," said Tony Fratto, founder of Hamilton Consulting Place Strategies, comments.
Despite the country's economy flourishes, Trump's national credit rating remains low, down two percentage points, to 41% since the Ukraine-related scandal was announced.
One problem with Trump's campaign message is the fact that the US economy has started to improve even before he came to power, so many voters think that he will obviously achieve results. as it is today thanks to the policy of its predecessor Obama.
"For now, voters may think this is just a normal economy, so they will focus on other things, such as the President's behavior," Fratto said.
On the other hand, although Trump often praises the economic accomplishments he has made, he is more passionate about lashing out at the Democratic Party on impeachment investigations or criticizing news, instead of discussing marketing. stock market or unemployment rate. Trump's constructive comments are overshadowing his economic achievements, experts say.
At the White House on 6 December, Trump declared in a steady tone that the US unemployment rate "is at the lowest level in years" and he believes it will quickly "become the lowest in history".
The US president only became more active when discussing the retraction of energy standards for light bulbs. "The new light bulb is more expensive than before and I hate to say it but it makes you look bad. Of course, good looks are extremely important to me," Trump said.
The way Trump drives conversations from the economic issue is frustrating for Republican members and business leaders, as the United States is enjoying strength thanks to a record-breaking economy within 11 years ago. Companies have recruited 2.2 million people in the past 12 months, an encouraging figure at the time the unemployment rate reached 3.5%, the lowest in half a century.
But the question is how much longer will this growth hold. The US-China trade war is causing difficulties for businesses and slowing their investment process. Manufacturing declines as global growth weakens and geopolitical tensions weigh on the export sector.
Trump's economic advisers are always aware that they need to keep the economy running, at least until he is re-elected.
"The United States is working and not only working, it also gets extra money after taxes," said Larry Kudlow, Trump's top economic adviser. "I have not seen an end. What I see is just strength."
Government officials are looking for ways to ensure economic growth, including tax cuts aimed directly at the middle class. The White House has not announced which framework of income will be entitled to lower taxes, but Trump may support a plan to permanently reduce personal income taxes under the tax measure package he signed in 2017. These cuts This reduction is expected to expire by 2025.
Trump has repeatedly argued that the additional tax cuts are why voters should vote for him and other Republican candidates, warning the economy and retirement accounts to "sink" if the party Democracy controls the White House.
"If any of the people I have watched on this stage are elected, the 401 (k) pension fund will collapse," Trump told the voters in October. "You will ruin the country".
At campaigns and in speeches, Trump often tells supporters that "you have no choice but to vote for me", citing the terrible economic consequences if any Which Democratic candidate is elected.
So far, the economy is on track with Trump's re-election message. Average income per hour increased by 3.1% this year, as of November. This is a moderate but sustainable pace. Salary increases help consumers have more money to spend, from eating at restaurants to shopping for holidays, thereby adding motivation to the economy.
A thriving economy also helped Trump repel the counter-attacks from Democrats saying they could do better than him. But Democrats' attacks are being sharpened by impeachment investigations aimed at Trump.
"The constitution clearly states that no one is above the law," Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren emphasized in a recent interview with MSNBC. "I hope we can make him responsible."
Although there is no storm of impeachment, it is unclear how long the economy will continue to accompany Trump's campaign message.
Trump said last week that trade talks with China are likely to drag on until after the 2020 U.S. presidential election, causing global stock markets to rock. The additional tariff on Chinese goods will take effect on December 15, and it is unclear whether it will be postponed. Global growth remains fragile. Many economists predict it will accelerate by 2020, but any expectation could collapse if the trade war escalates.
"We really cannot predict what will happen next year with geopolitical factors like today," said Ernie Tedeschi, an economist at the Evercore ISI Research Institute.
But regardless of the future, currently, Trump still holds hope that his economic message will overwhelm the impeachment storm. "Stock market rose record," Trump tweeted 12/12. "This is economics, you idiots".
