Post-Mueller, Trump has a good story to tell for 2020

With more jobs, fatter paychecks, lower taxes and even lower unemployment, “stay the course” is a pretty good theme. But there’s more.

President Trump’s recent dust-ups with the Fed’s monetary policy are a good example. He was right that further quantitative tightening didn’t work. His proposed appointment of Steve Moore to the Fed is a huge step, helping to further promote the two most important words in the domestic policy lexicon: economic growth.

Successfully getting Moore on the Fed Board and adding a second pick much like him would send a powerful message. It’s one that ordinary Americans clearly understand and support: Faster growth is better than slower growth.

Continuing the rollback of outdated or unnecessary regulations will further boost the economy and the president’s prospects for re-election.
