Does the administration make a concerted effort to show off this economic success? To let the GOP enjoy the achievement and reinforce that things are getting better under their leadership?

Not at all. Instead they bury their own success in a furor over acknowledging the Israeli capital is Jerusalem.

AMATEUR HOUR in DC
The Tax Bill isn't done yet.

This is a big problem. The Senate bill brings the normal corporate rate down to 20 percent — while leaving the alternative minimum rate at … 20 percent. The legislation would still allow corporations to claim a wide variety of tax credits and deductions — it just renders all them completely worthless. Companies can either take no deductions, and pay a 20 percent rate — or take lots of deductions … and pay a 20 percent rate.
I'd prefer to discuss it once it either fails or is signed into law.
