Why wasn't he concerned when he voted yes on the huge corporate tax cut?
Good question. Maybe he had a weak moment, because he has made these speeches to rip GOP spending before, like one year ago, when they had the same discussion.
When this baby was born many were forecasting 30,000 by the end of the year.
The euphoria was full throttle, reminiscent of the time before the decline in the Dot Com bubble.
The baby is getting its first haircut.
About 11 months to go before its time to throw it out with the bath water.
A lot of diapers to change until then.
I guess even the stock market wanted to go back to the time Obama was president. tRump's bigly, hugely, gains have Gone with the Wind ...like his hairdo in a windstorm!

There is no explaining the Dems and their Paraphilic Infantilism. Easier to buy baby food but the market won't eat much from an empty spoon.
From my perspective, percent is the only correct way to compare markets YoY, and I also believe that the POTUS (Trump, Obama, Bush, any of them) don't deserve a fraction of the credit/blame they get for the economy.
The black hole is on both sides though, Democrats and Hillary supporters were screaming that Trump was going to crash the markets, Trump supporters are now saying she would have done the same and are giving him credit for its success.
The reality is that markets perform in cycles and there are many inputs, ONE of which is the POTUS and policies that come/go along with the POTUS. Giving the POTUS credit/blame for market ebbs and flows, especially over the course of a day or week like is going on now is just a lot of partisan hot air...might as well blame POTUS for the high and low tide or full moon while we are at it. Market cycles based on fundamentals are MUCH more at play.
Seems we agree about most you comment, but I'm curious about your attempt to lump Democrats and/or Hillary into the same boat...
Of course I don't know about every word uttered by Hillary or Trump, but I don't ever recall Hillary "screaming that Trump was going to crash the markets." I Googled what Hillary said about Trump and the markets to see what I may have missed and all that comes up is what Trump continued to argue would happen to the markets if Hillary became POTUS! And lots of it!
Can you provide a link or back up about what you claim here?
Can't say every Democrat is innocent of this, but best I've been able to tell from listening to both sides is that Trump and his followers are order-of-magnitude far more guilty of this "partisan hot air" regarding the stock market than others...
