The appropriately named liberal financial analyst Steve Rattner, who was the Obama car czar and wasted billions of tax dollars on the GM bailouts, is now a commentator for MS Now. You may not know that because almost no one watches that network anymore.

But he’s gained some notoriety online because of the deceptive economic charts he shows the MS audience about how Trump policies are failing middle-class Americans. His chart below shows that wages have been growing at a little under 4% under Trump 2.0 while stocks have rocketed up by 15%. But this is Marxist capital versus labor poppycock.

First, real wages are growing much faster over the past 15 months than under Biden when the poorest households lost money. As we will show in tomorrow’s HOTLINE, the average family through April has GAINED $3,000 of real income under Trump 2.0.

Second, why is it a bad thing that stock returns are up 28% since Trump came into office?  Given that well over half of Americans own stocks directly or through private pension plans, a rising stock market is a signal that investment in the U.S. is booming, which makes Americans richer. What’s wrong with that, Steve?
