I don't want the economy to be crashed either. I just don't want Trump as the President of this country. This is what I'm seeing. Individuals are here treating Trump like he's God. Said persons treating him like he's the best thing since sliced bread. And I have an idea why said persons do this. It's more of an "up yours" to those persons who are defined as "liberal", "leftists" and other groups that those one the far right deem to be a threat to them. It has much more to do with the anger than anything else. It isn't that Trump is that great. It's that some people see Trump as their antidote to those they feel threaten them.
The financial reporters didn't even mention Obama !!! What do they know the left doesn't ?
Looks like they are going with what is relevant and mentioned Trump repeatedly !!!
U.S. stocks jumped sharply at the opening bell, pushing the broad-based S&P 500 to an all-time intraday high, after President Donald Trump agreed to hold off on the imposition of further tariffs on Chinese imports after a meeting with China's leader Xi Jinping.
During the 10+ years of Obama/Trump we have more than doubled our national debt and kept interest rates at historic lows. And the net result is a real GDP growth that is far slower than in the past. Of course the stock market is going to go up. Saving money in the bank is not an option. The whole economy is based on buying on credit and investing whatever cash you have. What could possibly go wrong?
This is not a Trump or Obama miracle but will be an American nightmare.
Hats off to both Barack Obama and Donald Trump, all sides should be celebrating this.
When Obama took over as president in 2008, our country was in the midst of a major economic lull and housing crisis. However, thanks to Barack Obama, he was able to turn things around and the United States of America saw five straight years of economic growth.
And when Trump took over, since the economy was doing so well, he decided to mostly leave it alone. Other than his huge tax bill, Donald Trump hasn't really done anything drastic to impact the economy one way or another, he realized he should leave good enough alone.
Hats off to both Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Obama saved the economy and turned it around, and then Trump realized if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Learn the difference between recovery and growth to help with your confusion.
It is you who does not understand economic terms.
The distinctions you made between "recovery" and "growth" are nonexistent. A recovery consists of growth.
