Trump lauds economy, hits back at Democrats

GREEN Bay, Wis.: US President Donald Trump boasted of a strong economy and criticized his Democratic presidential opponents as he rallied supporters with familiar themes.

Trump pointed to the economy’s 3.2-percent growth in the first quarter before drawing even more applause by citing gains in employment and reductions in family poverty in Wisconsin. The state helped propel Trump’s 2016 victory, and Democrats are focused on reclaiming its electoral votes in 2020.
