CNN’s John Avlon: ‘There Is No Denying It, Trump Has Been’ on a ‘Winning Streak’

‘The reality show president can claim his best week ever’

EXCERPT:

AVLON: "Here is the reality. Four weeks from today, voters will be heading to the polls. And just in time, the reality show president can claim his best week ever. There is no denying it. Trump has been on a bit of a winning streak in big areas of jobs, trade and judges, which his party could definitely use after trailing in the polls. So let's start with jobs, always the core promise of Trump's presidency. On Friday, new job numbers came out showing a nearly 50-year low in the unemployment rate, 3.7 percent in September. You have to go all the way back to 1969, Woodstock, to find a lower unemployment rate. And while it's fair to point out this is the culmination of an eight-year recovery, this new low is on Trump's watch and that's great news for the country. Also, Trump filled a major campaign promise, successfully renegotiating NAFTA, re-branding it the USMCA. This is no revolution, the basic premise remains intact, but Trump played hardball and gained concessions to benefit workers.”
