Economic analyst Stephen Moore appeared on CNN on July 20 to discuss President Donald Trump’s booming economy.
He explained that under Trump’s leadership, Americans have seen a record low unemployment rate and increased wages.
It took only 19 words for the former economic adviser to the Trump campaign to completely stump CNN host Kate Bolduan.

I guess she had nothing left to say?
According to CNN, Moore appeared on the show to discuss how Trump was “not thrilled” with the Federal Reserve for increasing interest rates and taking away America’s edge with China.
Bouldan began the show by criticizing the president for not agreeing with the head of the Federal Reserve — and Moore quickly shot back with his own criticism of her negative coverage.
“When it comes to the economy, you’ve got 4.5 percent growth, you’ve got the lowest unemployment rate in virtually 30, 40 years, you’ve got low inflation. I mean whatever Trump is doing on the economy, it sure is working,” Moore explained.
As he is talking, Bouldan does not even look up at the screen to seem engaged, she just simply chimes in at one point, “Yeah.”
And then Moore hits the CNN host with the 19 words that not only got her attention, but also left her completely silent, “It’s hard to argue [Trump] hasn’t been a really good custodian of our economy,” Moore declared.
“Will you accept that notion?” Moore asked the CNN host with a chuckle.
The only word that Bouldan was able to mutter back was “Um.”
The truth hits hard, and that silence is deafening.
