He was addressing a group of fbi employees in los angeles when the television in the background flashed the news that he had been fired. In response, mr. Comey laughed. He said he thought it was a fairly funny prank. And then his staff started securing around in the background, told mr. Comey that he should step into a nearby office.

That was President Trump taking a victory lap on the news that the u. S. Economy grew at a robust rate at 4. 1 percent in the Second Quarter. The fastest pace in almost 4 years. Here with a look at whats behind that acceleration is chair of the White House Council of economic advisory. Nice to see you. 4. 1 percent. Economists predicted 4. 4, as you look at the details of the report. What do you like in it . It goes back to a piece i wrote a while back that Corporate Tax cuts would cause a Capital Spending boom. If you look at the average of the first half of the year, we got a Capital Spending boom in the average growth is 3. 1 percent. Its not often that economists can nail it that tightly and it showed its working exactly as we thought. Paul Capital Spending in the First Quarter was more robust than in the Second Quarter.
