When Obama entered office, Jan 20, 2009, the Dow closed at 7,949. When Obama left office, Jan 20, 2017, the Dow closed at 19,827.

When Trump entered office, Jan 20, 2017, the Dow closed at 19,827. Today, the Dow closed at 22,445.

How far would the market need to “tank” to reach Obama’s peak? 2,618. Given the clown in the Oval, that's definitely doable.

Admit it GOP, this is all on you. The crumbling of the economy occurred completely under your watch. You couldn't keep the prez in check even though the guy makes monumental decisions on a whim via Twitter.

Soon you'll have to admit Trump is worse than Jimmy Carter.
We saw massive economic advances due to Trump’s policies that are now being STALLED, and undone by the anti-Trump, anti-American policies being implemented by the Federal Reserve. While the compliant media peddles this claptrap about market instability due to a possible government shutdown, only idiots believe this nonsense. The actual cause of market downturns are DIRECTLY DUE TO 4 interest rate hikes JUST THIS YEAR!!! Guess how many interest rate hikes occurred during the Obama era? 1 OVER 8 YEARS.

Several prominent economists have called the actions of the FED to be gross economic negligence. I called it what it actually is .... deliberate sabotage .... not only has the FED raised rates 4 times this year, they have also sent shock waves into the markets by suggesting that these hikes in rates may continue in 2019. Anyone with any knowledge of how economics function, understand the link between FED interest rate increases, and recessions these actions cause. This has been going on for decades .... and few seem to grasp the obvious.

The idiot public is clueless to what is being done to them deliberately, while the media are preparing the sheep to blame this on Trump. It’s just their latest, last ditch effort, after everything else to derail Trump has failed. And it’s soooo obvious ... there is no excuse for the public being this ignorant.

So long as people allow these fake news talking heads on TV to tell you what to think ... you all will remain in your permanent state of ignorance, and we’re all going to continue suffering because of it. Wake up!!!

Democrat??

How about Republican? Literally any other republican would probably be better than Trump. The GOP has a guy in office who makes decisions on a whim, who cannot control his personality and who refuses to do simple things things like read briefing memos on critically important topics related to national security before meetings. We literally have a petulant man child in office who throws tantrums like a 5 year old. Why do you think T's cabinet is constantly on fire? It is because he is completely inept and angers all the professionals around him who are actually trying to run the country.

Recessions happen quite regularly and are nothing to fear. It's part of the capitalist system and are to be expected. Fed raising rates is only helping to push us over the edge, and anyone with a brain knows it.

What is pushing us over the edge is insanity in the White house, tariffs, slowing global growth and zero confidence in a megalomaniac to keep the helm steady while the seas get rough. Let's not forget the massive deficit fueled by REPUBLICAN spending.

Funny how not that long ago Republicans, including Trump, were harping how the Fed wasn't raising rates fast enough.

The tax cuts to the economic elite in this country who just bank their money or send it offshore??? We are now seeing skyrocketing deficits thanks to this bonehead move by the President. It's not worth it to go deep into debt in order to give a small bump to the economy, especially when a recession was always in the horizon after 10 years of straight economic growth.

Now not only will we be in recession, but our deficits will skyrocket even more because of the recession.

You guys didn't learn anything from the last Republican recession. You keep repeating history. And Democrats will once again have to clean up after your mess....only for the public to forget and once again elect Republicans to tank the economy and balloon the deficits again. It's just a constant cycle of short term memory and bad decisions.
