Mind you, this is both true and very misleading.

How are Senator Murphy’s observations misleading?

For #2, the money is obligated - there's a schedule for its distribution and spending. Standard operating procedure for Congressional appropriations.

#1 is just plain true.

"Nancy!"...from the guy who undyingly supported one of the worst House Speakers in history. 

Nice close-out to 2018 for Trump, on Jobs at least.  For those keeping score, thats 2.6 million jobs created in 2018, over the 2.2 jobs created in 2017.  Obama's last two years in office?  2.7 million jobs, then 2.2 million. 

So that strong December brought Trump just about 100,000 jobs short of Obama's last two years in office.  And all it cost us was $1.5 Trillion!

MAGA!

Sorry, the above info was approximated.  If you crunch the real numbers, Trump's first two years falls short of Obama's last two years by over 270,000 jobs.

What "deregulation" gets you:

Declaring TCE “carcinogenic to humans by all routes of exposure,” the Obama administration had sought to restrict two of its riskiest uses, as a stain remover and as a degreaser, and had marked it for further review, potentially to ban the chemical altogether. It had also moved to strengthen cleanup rules for hundreds of sites nationwide believed to be contaminated.

But at the urging of industry groups, the Trump administration has stalled some of those moves. In 2017 it indefinitely postponed the proposed bans on risky uses, leaving as many as 178,000 workers potentially exposed. It also scaled back a broad review of TCE and other chemicals so that it would exclude from its calculations possible exposure from groundwater and other forms of contamination — the problems present in Franklin.

In Johnson County, a parents’ group co-founded by Mrs. Rhinehart, If It Was Your Child, has traced at least 58 childhood cancer cases since 2008. At 21.7 cases of pediatric cancer per 100,000 children, Johnson County’s rate puts it in the 80th percentile among counties nationwide, according to data for 2011-2015 from the National Cancer Institute. Both the national and Indiana average are fewer than 18 pediatric cancers per 100,000 children.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/02/climate/tce-cancer-trump-environment-deregulation.html

A worse environment, worse health outcomes, literally cancer-stricken children, all for an economy that is just barely keeping pace with the one pre-"deregulation."

Don't Fuck It Up Nancy!!

And how many voters far from the New Yorkers who knew him formed their opinion of Trump based on The Apprentice myth-making?  Probably many.

Yes

Of course.  President Trump is just continuing the brilliance of President Obama.

No changes at all.

He’s doing to the country what cost him his casino license. The positive inertia feeding off Obama policies have masked the effects that will soon cause republicans up and down the nation to lose their political licenses.

All trump makes is a shambles, a crime scene, and a cowardly getaway.

The shutdown is the latest step in his working out the terms of his resignation.

Nobody knows more about drones than Trump!

In fact, listening to him drone on about how wonderful he is, it is clear he has mastered droning.
