Democrats are in such precarious shape right now, I wouldn&#8217;t trade places with them for all the money in the world. That would be\u00a0&#8220;fool&#8217;s gold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never seen a hand this bad. In Texas Hold\u00a0&#8217;em poker the single worst hand is 2 and 7. Your chances of winning are close to\u00a0<em>zero.<\/em>\u00a0Your only play is to fold and wait for the next hand.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s precisely where Democrats are right now. They are holding a 2 and 7. It&#8217;s time to fold.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get to the famous FISA memo finally released on Friday, it&#8217;s important to look at the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Money matters to everyone. Presidents are elected based on the strength of the economy. Americans vote based on their wallets and pocketbooks. Always have, always will.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump is a rainmaker. Perhaps the greatest rainmaker of all time in the White House. And he&#8217;s\u00a0&#8220;making it rain&#8221;\u00a0for the American people. Things are so good, people are giddy. The future looks so bright, we gotta wear shades!<\/p>\n<p>The week started off with the Dallas Fed saying,\u00a0&#8220;We may not like the division in the country, but Trump&#8217;s policies are working.&#8221;\u00a0Have you ever heard a Fed announcement like that before? Basically, the Fed was saying,\u00a0&#8220;You may hate Trump. You may think he&#8217;s a bad guy. You may think he&#8217;s a racist. But he&#8217;s making everyone rich. He&#8217;s gonna make YOU rich. So, shut the hell up.&#8221; The Fed doesn&#8217;t usually talk like that.<\/p>\n<p>Then the Atlanta Fed came out and predicted Q1 GDP of 5.4%. That&#8217;s the greatest number in years. No one thought it was possible for economic growth to reach 3%, let alone 5.4%. The economy is exploding on rocket fuel.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, Obama averaged 1.3% GDP for eight years. That means Trump is growing the economy an astonishing FOUR TIMES FASTER! He accomplished this in one year.<\/p>\n<p>But wait. There&#8217;s more. U.S. Manufacturing expanded in January at the strongest pace in 14 years.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. oil production topped 10 million barrels a day for first time in a half century!<\/p>\n<p>The Dow had the best month of January in a half century.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump economy added 200,000 jobs in January, beating expectations. Many of them were high wage jobs in manufacturing and construction.<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s the big one: After decades of no wage growth for workers, wages just jumped 3%. Don&#8217;t forget, 90% of all taxpayers will get more money in their paychecks this month.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are in the position of saying either the economy isn&#8217;t good&#8230; or as rapper Jay Z recently said of Trump&#8217;s success,\u00a0&#8220;Money doesn&#8217;t equate to happiness.&#8221;\u00a0Those are <em>really\u00a0<\/em>bad arguments. Historically bad. That&#8217;s gotta be the worst poker hand in history.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Trump&#8217;s approval soared to 49% on Friday. He won the 2016 election with 46% approval.\u00a0Trump&#8217;s economic approval rating soared to 51%.\u00a0And the generic Congressional poll went from Democrats winning by 18 to 5 to tied&#8230; in a month.<\/p>\n<p>I think that famous &#8220;blue wave&#8221; just turned bright red!<\/p>\n<p>Now to the<em>\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>bad news for Democrats. The FISA memo was released Friday. It confirms the FBI and DOJ colluded with Democrats and Hillary to pay for a fake dossier&#8230; used to commit fraud in front of a FISA judge&#8230; to illegally obtain warrants&#8230; to spy on the Trump campaign&#8230; to ensure Hillary&#8217;s victory. The FBI forgot to tell the judge the dossier was paid for by Hillary and the DNC and an author who said, he was &#8220;desperate that Donald Trump not get elected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are four giant takeaways:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: upper-alpha;\">\n<li>Obama spied on Trump.<\/li>\n<li>Hillary and the DNC tried to steal the general election<\/li>\n<li>The FBI leadership is going to prison<\/li>\n<li>The whole fraud was based on info provided by Russia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, it was Hillary and the Democrats who tried to steal an election, based on collusion with Russia.\u00a0That&#8217;s\u00a0how they came up with the lie that Trump colluded with Russia. They based a lie on their own Russian conspiracy.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with all of this in 2018 and 2020. The Democrats have the worst poker hand in history.<\/p>\n<p>And Trump is coming up all aces.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Wayne Allyn Root (<\/em><a href=\"mailto:Wayne@ROOTforAmerica.com\"><em>Wayne@ROOTforAmerica.com<\/em><\/a><em>) is host of the nationally-syndicated &#8220;WAR Now: The Wayne Allyn Root Show.&#8221; Listen from 3 to 6 p.m. daily at 790 Talk Now and watch at 5 PM on Newsmax TV- now on DirecTV and Dish.
