- the_gastropod 7y agoMaybe, you know, look at the stock market to see if that's true, instead of just believing Trump's tweets about it...
- scohesc 7y agoYou should probably look yourself. From what I've been reading from financial postings, the Trump administration has done many good things for the stock market (for the people however is a different story) Usually whoever keeps the economy going and doesn't harm it in anyway gets re-elected for a second term.
- the_gastropod 7y agoPlease.. just go look. Since his inauguration, the S&P500 is up 27.37%. At this point during Obama's first term, the S&P500 was up 65.19%. Apples and oranges, true. Let's look at the preceding 46 months before Trump's inauguration. Over that time, the market rose 26.69%. Anyone pretending the market under Trump is anything but "normal" is participating in partisan hackery. Don't do it.
- phyek 7y agoThe market hasn't gone anywhere in the last year. The first 1-2 years was helped by massive tax cuts implemented by Trump which juiced corporate earnings.
- dwoozle 7y agoYou’re mental if you think that this is normal. We’ve been on a huge bull market since 2008. It’s not due to Obama or Trump but Obama got credit and got re-elected and the same will happen with Trump.
