Seriously? C'mon, a want, you're better than this.

The market and the economy are NOT even close to the same things. The market reacts to short term situations; the economy not so much.

Hell, if the market was an indicator of a strong economy, then why did the economy limp along for 8 years under Obama while the market was cruising along?

I know this.

My point was: Trumpkins are trumpeting an economic renaissance when things go well (jobs report, stock market, etc) but when they go bad it's always somebody else's fault. That was the point.

Weren't you a part of the group on this board that had hardons when the stock market was going gang busters during Trumps first 100 days? Calling Trump the Messiah?

Whats the policy now? Just chose what information fits your agenda the best?

Why yes. Yes he DID take credit for it and the Trumpkins lined up to MAGA as a result.

Had Obama not been the president for the first month of the quarter, Trump would have beat the expectation of .09%

Immediately after the election the markets fell because Hillary was expected to win and she was a known commodity. Trump was a wild card and markets don't like change. Then the market rose feverishly on speculation that he'd relax regulations. Both the dip and the rise are directly attributable to Trump. The economy will take much longer than 100 days.

Isn't this usually the case anytime we elect a president from a different party? If I recall, the Obamaites blamed George W. for Eight. Long. Years.

No. In fact I would never call any mortal the Messiah or God Emperor or any of the other stupid shite that Trumpkins say.

My business has picked up since the first of the year.

FACT

I can't tell you why, but it has.

It could be a coincidence, it could be an emotional reaction to Trump winning, or it could be because of some changes Trump made.

If I had to guess it's door #2, and I hope it keeps up and Trump actually makes the positive changes he said he'd make.

He didn't, it's the same anemic growth that we've seen for years and Obama tried to call the new normal. What exactly are you saying has changed?

And factory openings, job repatriations, and production decisions that private companies and individuals had in the works for months if not years.

So is giving him credit for those jobs and for the 1Q results the correct path?

You can be rational so I am surprised by your argument.

The argument should be in this thread that this is not really something to get upset about Trump over. Would you agree?
