I'll never understand this cult-like fascination with attributing all successful jobs among millions to one plutocrat who simply gambles on every policy decision while convincing you everything was worse before.
If you have a job, you created it. If you still have it & devoutly keep thanking Trump for it, stop, it was all you. Unchecked idol worship is exactly what happened to the Nazis. You do not want a president to end all presidents.

Trump White House Has Smaller Staff, Spends Less on Salaries Than Obama White House
Over $20 million in taxpayer funds could be saved at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term in office due to his leaner White House operation.
A new report on the White House Office Personnel revealed that Trump has a significantly smaller staff than his predecessor did at this time, according to an analysis by Open the Books, a government watchdog organization that focuses on spending.
“Although the White House personnel budget is an infinitesimal part of the $3.9 trillion federal budget, it is an important forecasting indicator showing Trump’s deep commitment to cut the size, scope and power of the federal government and reign in waste,” wrote Adam Andrzejewski, CEO of Open the Books, in an op-ed for Forbes.
As of June 30, 2018, the White House currently employs 374 people, three fewer than were employed in 2017. It’s also significantly lower than the 469 that were employed in 2010 by then President Barack Obama.
In addition to maintaining a smaller staff size, Trump’s White House has also cut payroll by over $5 million when compared to Obama’s 2015 staff. The 2018 payroll currently sits at $35.2 million, in contrast to the 2015 payroll which Open the Books reported exceeded $40.9 million.
Open the Books also noted that by maintaining a smaller staff and by refusing to take a salary, Trump has already saved $11 million in taxpayer dollars, and “four-year savings could easily top $22 million.”
Each quarter, Trump has donated his salary, including to the Department of Education, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Health and Human Services.
Among the various areas in the West Wing with reduced staff, the office of First Lady Melania Trump is notable. Trump has a staff under half the size of then-First Lady Michelle Obama’s in 2009. Trump currently has 10 staffers, while Obama had 24.

This is undoubtably due to the fact that he doesn't owe any political favors, so he doesn't have to play the patronage game.
This guy is turning out better than I expected.
So he give a few millions for education; that's cute but in no way enough for the billions he cut in it. By the way, smaller government don't necessary mean less tyrannic government. Tyranny don't need much bureaucracy after all; it just has to leave thugs doing their things into the name of the dictator.

Your are confused. The idolatry was during the Obama administration. The "annointed one" was very good at destroying the economy while aiding and abetting peoples who looked to destroy the U.S.
No one creates their own economy. The acts of the government impacts us in an economic sense.
If you can't see the Trump idolatry, then you're blind, completely blind; but then again far right is blind to reality.

On the one hand, I always want to laugh at these videos; but on the other, it's so embarrassing to watch people make idiots of themselves that it somehow feels wrong.
So, what do college students in NYC think of the new Supreme Court justice that Trump just picked? (Hint: Actually, Trump hasn't picked anyone yet. But don't let that stop you!)

Why are they lying , I don't get it. There is no way I would try to blag someone that I knew what I was talking about , it's bizarre behavior.
There you go again trying to apply ferret psychology to social primates.
