like he bankrupted casinos, Trump squandered Obama's stronger economy

Slate @Slate It turns out that the economy never had a Trump bump. slate.trib.al/nldCPM4

Rebranding a Trump economy is more than slapping a new paint job on Air Force One. Trump took a strong economy and weakened it. x It’s “not fashionable in progressive circles” because progressives are rejecting the bogus arguments about debt and deficits that have been used to undermine the progressive...

No, it's not a “strong economy”, it's actually slowing as Trump keeps lying

ELunqcoUUAE_LKy1

2020 will continue Trump’s lying and incessant touting about an economy that has underperformed with the growth given him by PBO. Numbers artificially propped up by deficits and tax cuts will result in a potentially catastrophic and looming recession. Trump’s “trade war” has contributed to global slowing. With the new year...

Trump promised the stock market would crash if he was impeached – Nope, it shot up 7%

During his first two years in office, Donald Trump regularly pointed to the stock market as proof of his leadership’s effectiveness. Experts may have shaken their heads, saying that stock values aren’t an accurate measure of the country’s economic performance. But they are popular with voters, who check their 401(k) investments, and, thus, with politicians. Particularly since “presidents can have a major impact on the financial markets in the short run,” said David Kass, professor of finance at the University of Maryland. And getting short-term response in stocks is much easier than long-term fundamental economic gains that can take years to bear fruit. If there’s an election coming up, juicing the markets is something both major parties like to do. When it comes to talking himself up, Trump in particular has compared himself to Barack Obama. So, how do the two presidents measure up in terms of growth in major indexes, measured between their inauguration and May 31 of their third year in office? The short answer is that Trump has quite a way to go. Under Obama, the S&P 500 grew by 56.4%. The Dow Jones Industrials Average was up 50.6% and the Nasdaq, 92.9%. The numbers under Trump were 21.4% for the S&P 500, 25.2% for the Dow, and 34.2% for Nasdaq.

How so tried are we of the crap coming from the Orange Emperor IMPOTUS. As the House voted on articles of impeachment against President Trump this week, US stocks climbed despite the President’s warning that “they would crash.” x If they actually did this the markets would crash. Do you think it...
