48 weeks later. a few market facts about Trump's presidency.

[Nostra]

The list is long and starts with abortion rights, voting rights, the right to health care

Prove it, liar.

 

[Dragonlady]

one more reason to cease subsidizing yours DL....

and still managed to become a billionaire (with a B)

~S~

You're not subsidizing anyone's economy, jackass. You're not GIVING us money. You're buying our products. At least you were. We're finding other markets, willing to pay more than you did.

CANADA has been subsidizing the USA. We've been selling you oil, lumber, aluminum and electricity at below market prices. Not anymore. Lumber and aluminum are going to Europe. US prices are skyrocketing due to the shortages.

Jim Beam just closed a distillery. Since Canadians stopped buying American wines and spirits, your export market has cratered, We're buying more wine from South American and Europe now. YAY!!! French wine is SO MUCH BETTER, than American.

Trump is only a billionaire because of bribery and corruption. That's nothing to be proud of. It's certainly not something a well informed electorate would ever vote for.

The Trump economy is just the same as Biden's, for reference - I live in a blue state. That is probably the main reason for that. Gas Prices have came down only slightly, but not by a drastic amount. Groceries, etc have gone up here and there.

However, the tariffs are quite a problem here because the only energy provider in my area is a foreign one, because of the tariffs, my electric bill has gone up. That is just a fact.

 

[Dragonlady]

Prove it. Liar.

Already proven moron. Time for you to start reading the links you keep demanding, moron.

 

[Nostra]

You're not subsidizing anyone's economy, jackass. You're not GIVING us money. for.

Lies. You have done no such thing.

 

[Nostra]

CANADA has been subsidizing the USA.

Lies.

I would ask you to prove it, but we all know you can’t, liar.

 

[Nostra]

Trump is only a billionaire because of bribery and corruption.

Lies.

You're not subsidizing anyone's economy, jackass.

The bulls have won the show as the economic reports have shown continued and positive economic growth. For the past 48 months (Trump’s presidency), the DOW has rallied 8.8%, the SPX has rallied 12%, the NASDAQ has rallied 15.1% and the RUT has rallied 9%. (DOW was at 44424 on Jan 20th and closed on Friday at 48732, SPX was at 6101 and now at 6929, NASDAQ was at 21774 and now at 25644 and the RUT was at 2307 and now at 2534).

On the negative side, Gold has rallied 39% (from $2792 to $4563) and the Dollar has dropped 8.8% in value (from $107 to $98), meaning that inflation remains a huge threat and the Dollar has lost its strength. In fact and comparing the Dollar with the other 2 major currencies in the world (Japanese YEN and the European EURO), the YEN has only dropped .005% in value and the EURO has outperformed all currencies, having rallied 12% (from 1.05 to 1.18) during this same period of time. Heck, even China (who is in a major trade war with the US, due to the huge tariffs imposed by Trump) has outperformed the Dollar as it has only dropped 4.4% (from 7.244 to 7.000) since January.

What this all means is that Trump's has brought about a growing economy (at least for the past year) but has made the U.S. fall versus the rest of the world (as far as in confidence in the future outlook versus other countries). It also means that other countries (like Europe) are doing better than we are, in spite of the tariffs imposed by Trump. Wasn't Trump's intention (with the tariffs imposed) to raise our country over all others (economically and otherwise)?

These figures do show that in many ways, Trump has failed. This is not opinion but cold hard facts. These above are actual prices for everything mentioned here. They are from the 3rd week of January (when Trump took office) to the closes on this Friday.

I am certainly interested in seeing how the Trump supporters will explain/excuse this.

I’m interested in some ‘major trade war with China” that you apparently learned about from the hags on The View.

 

[Dragonlady]

Your shit talk is irrelevant.

He can give or take away access to the largest market in teh world. A market many of these assholes have built their economies around.

THey need to realize that we are not being run by a ******* simp anymore and they need to give us what we want.

Or they will face consequences.

No he cannot do any of those things because he has no power to do so.

You're being run by a criminal cartel, and the rest of the world is DUMPING your sorry asses. Your trade deficit is increasing. Bankruptcies are resulting, and investors are cancelling manufacturing projects.

Manufactures are closing plants and cutting jobs. Markets are re-aligning and the USA is being cut out of the deals because your lying, cheating, dishonest President cannot be trusted to honour his commitments.

The world has lost respect for your entire nation because you were stupid enough to elect Trump President - again.

Did you actually watch this clip??? These people are saying the Canadian economy is very resiliant and surviving well.

You need to learn something about economics to judge this clip. Yes there is uncertainty, but it is being managed and managed well,

They're not blowing smoke up anyone's ass telliing everything that things are fine and great like Trump and FOX News do in the USA. Canadians are neither as dumb or as gullible as Americans. We're quite capable of handling the truth, and in fact, we demand it.

Poilievre lost the election because he tried to tell us "Canada is broken", and we need to be more like YOU. No it is not broken, and the last thing we want to be is heartless, soul-less and selfish as Americans.

If the future is so unclear then why do you think you know it?

I don’t ever KNOW anything for sure. I go with the “probabilities”. I follow what the economists (that study past results of patterns) say. The probable almost always (but not totally - 100%) beats the improbable. What Trump has been doing is usually destructive (not constructive) and that is usually a negative. In addition, Trump has proven that he is incompetent in most everything (other than Real Estate) and that adds to the probability of failure!

 

[Luckyone]

why do you think the 'Occupy Wall street' protest existed Lucky?

~S~

Don’t give me generalities, give me specifics on the subject we are talking about!!!!

 

[Luckyone]

We have different priorities

I want a better economy

Whereas you want trump to fail

I want a better economy also, but I don’t believe Trump can DO IT! He is an incompetent man!!!!!!

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I want a better economy also, but I don’t believe Trump can DO IT! He is an incompetent man!!!!!!

It's already better. Do you live under a rock?

 

[sparky]

Don’t give me generalities, give me specifics on the subject we are talking about!!!!

wall street is a poor metric for things economic because they are all rather displaced from middle class economy Lucky

they are the top 1% , take them out of any economic math, and our status changes dramatically.....

[Correll]

What "shit talk"?

These are facts, Son.

You know, objective reality?

Pull yer head outta tRump's ass for a minute and look at the real world.

Many places are already working around the US. Why do you think farmers are suffering?

It will just continue unless someone wises up, which is highly unlikely.

We are being progressively isolated from the rest of the business community.

No, we are not. We are the biggest market in the world. They are going to play ball, one way or another.
