President Trump went to France to attend the G-7 annual conference and was once again a lost isolated soul who skipped out on more than one meeting and the world's leader failed to lead. But the trumpet man did find time to be Russia's Putin spoke person and agent and declared once again that Russia should be allowed back in the G-7 group. He then played the blame game and blamed President Obama for the groups ouster of Russia
Trump then took it to the next level of betrayal and once again displayed he was autocrat Putin's proxy by saying he would invite Putin to the U.S. next year when the G-7 has its conference in the United States. President Trump continues to betray our allies and America by paying more attention to autocratic rule than democracy. And he invites Putin to America next year close to the 2020 Presidential election which the FBI recently said Russia is committed to interrupt.
Thirty one months in office and Trump is still in bed with Russia and Putin. It is an indication that Putin does have something on Trump and the trumpet man wants it to remain secret. Every day it is a new traitorous act by the President and his willingness to work with Russia during the 2016 Presidential election to seek dirt on an opponent is evident of his traitorous attitude. Any public disagreement between the U.S. and Russia is only a side show on Trump's watch to cover up what really is going on between them.
Trump's sad performance at the G-7 and his failure to lead weakens that alliance and what it could accomplish for the greater good. The global economy and other issues that affect the world needed to be addressed and the leader of the free world was there in body only. The mind and the spirit was on Trump's ego which magnifies his lack of mental capacity. Another major event and another reason why Trump is unfit to be President.

The U.S. Economy and Jobs: A Disappointment, A Warning or Both?
Now comes a story by the Associated Press that the U.S. Labor Department announced last Wednesday "the U.S. job market isn't quite as strong as originally believed because of revised figures that show the economy had 501,000 fewer total jobs this March than originally reported." The largest decline came from the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors, the industries most associated with consumer spending.
The down turn was the sharpest downward revision in job totals since the great recession of 2009 when the economy was just starting to turn around the Department reported, and that it suggest job growth was slowing. The report comes at a time President Trump was talking about a payroll tax cut to ward off a recession, then changed his mind and said a recession is no where in sight and backed away from his tax cuts. Then he told his cabinet he did not want to hear the word recession mentioned.
The readers of PolitiDose already knew that the job market under Trump in his first 31 month in office was already much slower than what it was in President Obama's last 31 months in office. There is another element found in the Department's report that is worth repeating. That is the Trump-GOP trickle down economic tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy are not economic policy, does not create more jobs or a stronger economy and increases the federal deficit dramatically. The sad story is old and goes back to the years of the Reagan and Bush 43 administration's tax cuts.
What is taking place on Trump's watch was predictable. The numbers were always there to guide the informed as well as the un-informed willing to listen. Economic policy and plans are not a part of the Trump or the republican party's ideology and that is why democratic administrations consistently out perform republican administrations.
