Extreme Terminal TDS!

We can lose 5000 points on the DOW and still be better than when Obama left office.

Very true. Most dRATs are on the government dole and love big government "free stuff" and could care less about 401Ks.

Nor does it have anything to do with Trump when the economy is doing well.
i largely agree with this. we're kind of overdue for a recession.

Helping people buy houses they couldn't afford. Clinton and George W. Bush were both responsible.

It's always a great market for options traders. Up, down, sideways, they make money.

nancy needs the Senate to go Demonic to crash the economy again so it looks like you got no shot to stop Trump.

Yeah, they do. Just like Republicans were rooting for (and trying to cause) further economic calamity theoughout the Obama Administration. It's human nature.

If the economy tanks tomorrow, Tinyhands will get the blame. I'm not saying he'd actually be the cause... though his idiotic policies and deranged man-child behavior may push things over the tipping point.

I'm just saying that he's our Glorious Orange President. As far as public opinion is concerned, the buck stops with him, no matter how he tries ro deny it.

That's why he keeps vomiting out this panic-tweets about the Fed. It's his orange *** on the line

If the economy goes south trump will just find some one to blame,probably Democrats or Obama or the Clintons, it should be obvious by now this bum takes no responsibility for any negatives he purpetrates on the American people.

Yep...its usually the economy that is the big factor....and we are overdue for a recession. That said....I am more worried about the severity of it than I am feeling any joy of it possibly doing in Trump. Interest rates are almost at historical lows. There has already been a tax cut. The debt and deficit have both grown in the last 3 years. In other words.....the economy is on steroids already. That is what accounts for the economic performance since the recession. When the economy starts losing strength while still on high doses of steroids....what do you do to regain strength again? At some point in time the steroids are going to become extremely bad for your health in the long run....and at this point....we are near the "long run" of usage.
