I would agree, we just saw the stock market rise while the economy was stagnant during the Obama years.
For starters, the market does not necessarily reflect what is happening today but what will happen in the future and/or a convoluted combination of both, and the market is not so much a function of all that is the economy, let alone just the U.S. economy...
When I hear Trumpees raving about how "Trump has made the economy soar", I have to ask, what has he done, exactly ? What actual acts has he performed that has affected the economy.
He has golfed, he has held a few rallies (), he has hired and fired enough people to populate Texas, and he has tweeted a lot. Do any of those actions build confidence in the consumer or the financial markets so that the economy flourishes ? I think not.
Now, if Trump had rolled up his sleeves, worked with corporations to stimulate their growth, and actually brought jobs back to America, we might have something to talk about, but he has done zilch, nada, zero.
Just because his pretty face is sitting in the WH doesn't automatically accomplish these things, it takes positive actions..........something we haven't seen any of in over a year on the job. I could have done more and a better job than he has.
