I'm providing my odds! - not Vegas odds!

I believe the polls which are scientific vs. bookies in Vegas. I follow 538 (Nate Silver) and Rachel Bitecofer who absolutely nailed the 2020 Blue Wave. People who bother to read these two will see their detailed analysis, which BTW is almost always dead-on. (Please safe your keystrokes about "polls had it wrong in 2016" - they didn't. Polls were within 2% and they couldn't catch the last minute change due to Comey's "more emails." Polls said that Comey cost Hillary the election - people figured "I can't vote for either one of these jerks or they flipped to Trump.")

Tweeting, watching Faux News and golfing - this is what he does

Is this the official talking point to refute criticism of Trumponomics, or did you come up with that one all by yourself?

Yeah, "Dow near record territory again." It's also fallen just as many times. Its bobbing and weaving like a prize fighter.

I NEVER said that "the market is crashing!" I DID say that the market has gone sideways since May 2018 which happens to coincide with the beginning of the Trade War w China. The market had gone up ~10% per year for the previous 8-9 years. Bigly difference.

Specifically the S&P was at 2900 Jan. 2018 - its now ~ 3000 - this is a 3% bump. Look it up!

This stagnation ain't "business cycle," it's purely Trade War induced. Have you noticed that mfg is in recession? Have you noticed that Trade War cost us 300,000 jobs and .7% GDP? It ain't a coincidence that the market is flat

OK, well I'll take the word of professional odds makers who as a group have similar predictions, and have millions of dollars riding on being right over your prediction.

I'm not betting on any of it anyway. My original reason for bringing up the vegas odds is because they are a viable alternative to polls.

It means if he is impeached it doesn't mean he is automatically out of office.

Get out more. Chill out. Have a drink.

It's comic relief for me to hear Trump BSing non-stop

What's even funnier is listening to Trump supporters:
