The market is tanking because of the caravans of illegals headed this way and the drag they will be on the economy when they get here.

yeah... no one should be surprised after these tariffs by China

I used to say the President isn't responsible for the market but this guy has pretty much proved me wrong.

Also - when did we turn over market responsibility to Trump? Obama seemed to be getting credit as long as the marked increased under Trump?

LOL. So let me get this straight. When market is booming, Trump gets to take credit for it. But when his policies muck things up and the market starts to tank then he isn't responsible. I see how that works.

I guess that means you're OK with other countries taking advantage of us.

Hey - I just asked the question since people tend to credit Obama when things go well.

He's been in office for 15 months - have you given him credit for the market increase?

The American people approved the spending bill through their federal representative that we voted in. Trump is not king here.

I'm just trying to find out where you guys are.

Investors are responsible for their own reactions. Sometimes presidents factor in... sometimes they don't.

But ... but ... we were told Trump was gonna put a stop to that!

The cold weather we're getting in Kansas City must be because of the illegals too, right?

But suddenly now that the stock market is tanking, it's Obama's economy again? That makes sense in the mind of a cultist, I suppose.
I didn't say it was Obama's.

But let's understand that the anti-Trump cult were giving credit to Obama for the market increase. I'm just asking when Trump got the keys... 20,000? 22,500? 25,000?

I will gladly take the hit in my portfolio....the GOP has put up with trump because of the market upswing which was mostly due to his dropping all sort of regulations that will come back and bite the US in the arse, financially, environmentally, etc. Not to mention the corporate tax giveaway.

Let this inflated market fall because of his tariffs, etc. and I think many in the GOP will flee from trump.

It's all about the money in politics.

19,827.25 when he took office.

And yes, it's tanking now that his policies are having an impact. Doing nothing would have been better for the nation as whole.

Money talks. BS walks. Trump's trade war is BS.
