For those looking for an explanation of why the stock market suddenly became tumultuous in the fourth quarter of 2018, you can stop searching: The answer is President Donald Trump.

I don’t say this lightly.

For the better part of the past three years, I have suggested that investors not let their partisan political views influence their choices. This is no longer the case. The Trump administration’s policies, passed as legislation by Congress and implemented by the executive branch, have driven interest rates higher, made deficits bigger and led to a trade war, and are risking a global slowdown and even a recession.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
 
Ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa. So Trump's legislation drove interest rates higher. Pick one:

A. Said legislation provoked economic expansion which triggers inflation, so interest rates rose to fight off inflation.

B. Interest rates rose because they were long overdue to rise. They couldn't have been raised on Obama's watch, because the economy and housing would crash.
 
Trumpers do not like real news. If it is not constant praise for Trump they have fits. Trumpers want us to worship Trump like North Koreans do for Lil Kim.

Gee looks like Trump's done a terrible job for America.

Hope he continues with his terrible, inept, non Presidential ways.

Sure hope he decides to run in 2020.
 
The OP seems to prefer to remain in the bent over position for China while they rip us off for $350 billion a year. Pay attention to the news. China is starting to see the writing on the wall and investors will be rewarded as the trade deficit comes down.

/——/ China is starting to crack: A proposal to reduce tariffs on cars made in the US to 15 per cent from the current 40 per cent has been submitted to China's Cabinet to be reviewed in the coming days, according to people familiar with the matter.PHOTO: REUTERS
 
Relax, looking at the proposed candidates and platforms of the Dumbest party who wouldn't be complaining if they were lobotomized to become a D and had this disaster up ahead who would not be complaining?

Not exactly. China has been pretty much in an economic death spiral since before the 1998 "Asian Flu" but that was when the leadership discovered that the Japanese model of rapid industrialization would lead to the Japanese outcome. The military build up of Japan and India have made things much worse for China.

If we had a real media which we don't, we would see nightly reports on blatant cases of Intellectual Property theft, raiding of our top technical talent, blatant cheating on every WTO agreement, restricting access of American businesses, and on and on and on. Hell there isn't anything China DOESN'T cheat on. But our ever worthless media is too busy digging up juicy tidbits about Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. So Liberals think China is cool, it's all about the RUUSKIES.

I loathe Trump like you cannot imagine but I totally agree with him on Chinese economic thuggery. If Trump really wanted us to know all about China’s trade and intellectual rip-offs he could stop playing silly bugger with the media and cease throwing so many juicy tidbits.
