Then, near the end of his first term, he signed the Social Security Act, which has reduced senior poverty and become one of the most popular federal programs in the United States.
was half of almost half of what obama stimulus was and he s done that without legislation. gets no credit for it whatsoever. you re giving him credit now. he ll get credit i appreciate that. he will get credit for it when the american people actually start to feel some of these things that you re saying he s going to do, he might be doing, he is doing. he s done a zblot we haven t felt any of that yet. well you re we re seeing it in the stock market which a huge effect on the country. the stock market is the gallop poll, they have record breaking confidence of small business. they ask me who donald trump s base is it s not breitbart, it s independent people, small business people. people of every political stripe. and they re seeing the impact. you meet small business people, they love the guy because they feel he s actually fighting for them, less government regulation, less taxes for business. i gotta go, but i meet business people. i think i convinced you you
