I feel bad for people not enjoying the rise of the stock market. It’s the only thing that cancels out the gas prices for me. If the AI bubble pops then we will be fukked

If YOU listen to the Main Stream Media all day, if anyone is that big a dunce, then I guess you could be correct. But the MSM will find whatever is needed like Russia, Russia, Russia, or EGG PRICES (LOL) to hammer Trump because he is a threat to their BS.
Iran are state terrorists, his problem was listening to Bannon, people like you, and not finishing the job on those coward scum. I would bet anything, through BACK CHANNELS the Dem party leaders are telling Iran to hold off and if they get elected they will shut off funds, they are all evil, they only care about power, and money. They sell us out to China at every turn.
You buy the MSM BS, I don't. I see the border locked down, I see the manufacturing coming back, I see the inflation way down from Biden, and the gas prices are high because of the INFLATION under Biden, you do understand once you have high inflation the floor is RESET right? If not for Bidents 7 trillion spending package and four year high inflation marks, the gas prices would have been un der 2 dollars when Trump took office and the war might have raised it to 2.5 or 3 dollars a gallon. So, its not the war that created high gas prices, it was Bidens spending.
bet this guy invested heavily in trump coin

It isn't solely the war. It is doing it while seemingly forgetting affordability and the crazy deficit. Yields and US borrowing costs are skyrocketing while most stock market growth is in AI, a sector that hasn't yet proven to be profitable (selling the shovels are profitable, for now).

Iran war is Trump 2.0's Covid.
Another wrench in the machine. Got bamboozled by deep-state on this Iran war business just like he did on covid.
He went into covid thinking it would be one-and-done.
This Iran war will drone on and we'll be in a continuous state of war for the foreseeable future. There is no end to this.
Deep-state somehow convinced Trump that the Iranian people would "rise up," just like they convinced Trump that covid killing a bunch of people was imminent.

Also wild that the strategy of 'mutually assured destruction' has worked with every nuclear power but somehow wouldn't work with Iran.

Stand tall, patriot. This movie isn’t over and your reward will be something you can barely imagine.

In all seriousness the Dow more than doubled, S&P tripled during his presidency... as nice as those numbers are (in a vacuum) they did not represent the overall health of the economy. The economy still sucked under Obama and growth was anemic. No one in their right mind should ever think that what happened then was normal. The post I responded to equated market performance with a good economy which isn’t necessarily true, thus my use of Obama.

No it’s not. It’s not great, but it’s not bad either.

U.S. economic growth for 2026 is projected to register a moderate real GDP growth rate of roughly 2.0% to 2.3%. While consumer spending has cooled due to cost-of-living constraints and affordability pressures, business investment in technology and artificial intelligence, alongside productivity gains, continue to support steady expansion.
Growth Drivers and TrendsInvestment vs. Consumption: Growth is shifting from consumer-led spending to business investment in productivity and tech infrastructure.
Labor Market Equilibrium: The job market has settled into a "low-hire, low-fire" phase with stable unemployment hovering around 4.2% to 4.5%.Inflation and Rates: Persistent price pressures remain a factor, prompting close monitoring of Federal Reserve monetary policy adjustments.Global Standing: The U.S. continues to lead major developed economies in growth pace, outpacing the eurozone and the UK.

No they are not. They are in the range of normal for the last decade.
