Some people really have short memories. The stock market crashed because of this thing called the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, a problem which dated back to the mid 00's. Remember? I guess you don't. Bear Sterns was going bankrupt, and so on, and so forth. This had nothing to do with Obama, Harry or Nancy.

Oh yeah, and there was a republican for president during that time. Funny how you blame the democrats in congress but not the republican president.

U.S. economy records fastest growth in 3 years - Aug. 30, 2017


More fake news. Stop giving Trump credit for what Obama did. It's just sad.

Watch, when the economy starts crapping out next year (God forbid) they will blame Obama.

Your link says " fastest growth rate in 2 years" so in the context of your own article, it was growing faster in 2014 when Democrats still controlled the Senate.

Posts like the OP is why we need required classes in high school on personal finance & financial markets/instruments. It's funny how some people think somehow Trump has effected the market positively, even though:

A. He hasn't put any new economic policies in place that would affect the markets
B. The stock market has been rising consistently since 2011

I'd really enjoy if they would explain exactly how Trump has made the economy better with facts. Chances are, they can't
