This is a lie. The markets are now down, bigly, this year. They were 25k when Obama left.

It depends on the environment. In business, blaming others doesn’t work. In politics and government, it does.

Mmmmmkay.

The bull market began nearly 9 years ago, in March, 2009.

Yet, Trump took almost daily credit for the market performance, since elected. He also predicted it would go to 30,000.

Now he blames fake news.

He is unfit for the office and I say this as someone who voted for him.

Trump's supporters repeatedly told us he WAS NOT a politician.

Just MORE Fake News, eh?
