Median household income has been steadily increasing under Trump, rising from $59,471 in January 2017 to $61,483 last month, according to Sentier Research, which tracks income on a monthly basis using census data.
This also means that household income is now higher than it's been in at least 50 years — after adjusting for inflation.

after adjusting for inflation.
Congress declared a War on Poverty so any suggestion that there is currently no war in progress is an illusion.

p.s. ... I am in the other camp. Everyone has a right to be poor.

Trump is not poor. Bush I and II are not poor. Bill Gates is not poor. Even congress is not poor.

Any thing that they declare a “war” on results in a horrible, miserable, utter failure.

Lies, dammed lies, and statistics, as one of my college textbooks read 40 years ago. The income is higher and also worth less, My dad owned a house and raised a family on $13,000, how much to do that today?

it beats income flat and eroding - which has been the case for years. at least there' some offset to the inflation
