PLENTY of folks on the Left posting here.
Yeah, the markets have done well this week - but guess what? History has shown us over and over again, that as soon as it starts getting up there, the Great Pumpkin will open his big mouth, say something stupid again, and the markets will come RIGHT BACK DOWN. Essentially Trump has had the market simply treading water for the last year and a half. WHY do you expect it to change NOW? He's still President, and he's still stupid.

Except of course that this is a thread that gives credit to Trump for sunny days, but no responsibility for the rain. Normal people understand that you can't have it both ways. Trumplings? They seem to believe you can claim credit for good things while denying any responsibility for the bad.

The likelihood of the Fed propping up the economy with lower interest rates as Trump's trade wars take their toll is also propping up the markets. But will artificially low interest rates be able to prop up the economy forever?

That's what they are saying (fed cut helping stock market), but yeah, cutting rates while "we are in the greatest economy"?

When the economy does contract, or god forbid, a recession..... we will have few tools left to help fix it.

It's like using all your ammo when you hear the bear, but don't see it. By the time you see it, no more ammo. And you are in deep doo-doo.

I know what the thread is about....and I don't care what silly name you want to assign to Trump supporters who are clueless, because there is a similar name for Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc...supporters who are clueless.

Point is rain, sun, rising markets, or falling markets, most of this credit and blame is incredibly misplaced, and only for political and ignorant reasons.

And with Trump's tax cuts that have piled on trillions in more debt another tool loses it's edge.

Exactly. He is doing to the American economy what he does with his own finances... mismanages them, and then does what ever it takes to make it look good, even if it's bad.

It's the equivalent to the energy rush someone gets on speed, go go go; days later, crash, crash, crash.

Yes, and maybe it’s the exact feeling he gets, possibly from
Adderall.

Until we mandate that the government is not allowed to spend more than it takes in, it will always out-spend the tax revenue, no matter what the tax rate is. We don't need more taxes, we need significant spending cuts.
