This time last year there were Zero (0) trump trade deals signed into law. Has there been any change since then? Has ANYTHING been accomplished in three years?

No, nothing accomplished in that regard - or in much of ANY regard actually.
The self-professed "Master Negotiator" has achieved NO TRADE deals whatsoever - not a single one has been signed - none, nada, zip. Almost the same as his legislative record - the only major legislative "victory" was his tax cut, which quite honestly ANY Republican as President could have achieved because at the time the GOP controlled both houses of Congress (and even in that case the only way it happened is by bending the legislative rules and thus setting a precedent - which will come back to bite the GOP when the Democrats get back in control).
In short the Trump Presidency has been - by nearly any measure of what Trump has actually done to achieve anything - a dismal failure.

The day I give credit to any President for the economy, or for that matter, blame them for the economy, is the day I probably should leave the US for lack of understanding of what a President can actually do.

Ditto if I actually correlated stock markets with real day-to-day economic strength.

You sure have low standards.
Of course if you didn't you wouldn't be supporting Trump.

Low standards... The whole of the democrat party, their act during the Kavanaugh nomination and hearings, antifa, Soros support, Weinstein and Epstein democrat campaign money accepted, Fauxahontas, green new deals, Nancy Pelosi, Chucklebuckets Schumer, Shiffy pictues-of-de-naked-Trump, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and the other clown scumbags Comey Clapper Brennan, McCabe, etc?

The slime that forms underneath whale dung mebucko.

Would that bad news include that a President can have a big effect on the economy? Then I’ll still neg that, I don’t want that level of power bestowed on any individual, or for that matter, on any government.

Any and ALL of which are better than Trump and his neo-NAZI toadies.

Somebody else is going to be crying here soon.

Main yield curve inverts as 2-year yield tops 10-year rate, triggering recession warning
Quote:
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note broke below the 2-year rate early Wednesday, an odd bond market phenomenon that has been a reliable, albeit early, indicator for economic recessions. The yield on U.S. 30-year bond fell to an all-time low, dropping past its prior record notched in summer 2016.

The moves show increasing worries about the global economy as investors rush into safe havens.

Early Wednesday, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was at 1.623%, below the 2-year yield at 1.634%. The last inversion of this part of the yield curve was in December 2005, two years before a recession brought on by the financial crisis hit.
