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

[sparky]

I have been doing this (evaluating the Stock Market) professionally for 48 years. I was also trained by the best in the market. In addition, I have now been living (and paying my bills) off of my evaluations and have been successful doing it. For no other reason, the probabilities favor me being right and you wrong. Could you be right and me wrong? Sure as I am not perfect. But I will BET more on what I said that on what you said, and put “money” on it!

There is no right/wrong here Lucky.......only perspective

Go bet on whatever, best wishes

Trump has been an amazing President, if you are already wealthy. Trump has been an amazing President if you are a corporation, with tax breaks a plenty, and no more worries about regulations. If you have investments in the stock market, he has been a great President for you, financially.

But then you realize he has trashed historical trade agreements with his completely reckless and self-defeating tariffs, which will cause more long term harm than what existed before Trump. It is changing world opinion against the U.S., a short term gain, maybe, but a long term loss.

Ask the American farmer how its working out. After this latest round of belligerance, more and more of the world will attempt to find other alternatives to using the dollar as the worlds reserve currency, and when that happens, you better brace for impact, because the party is over.

In their arrogance, the MAGATS did not think the rest of the world could exist without us.

48 years?

That qualifies you as an expert. I am not saying this to diss you. I m saying this to compliment you for using your life to gain such knowledge.

That's a long time for you to suck at it.

No, a hacksaw approach is never a good policy! Going against the Constitution and acting like a Dictator is also not a good approach as it alienates the people that can help you accomplish the goals. Trump listens to no one! He is surrounded by puppets (not experts). Since when does that make it a good approach?

If you make up wrongs then its easy to hate trump

He is not going against the Constitution

But if you choose to say he is then OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

I think so far the rogue district court judges have been overturned more than upheld by higher courts

So it is they who are trashing the Constitution

ROGUE district judges? That accusation, in and of itself, shows how your mind is skewed and biased. That accusation has never been proven in a court of law, so it is pure assumption on your part, and blind belief in Trump’s words, given that he is the one who has been saying that!

Go to any browser and put in that question “is Trump breaking the Constitution?” And see what they answer. This is not just what I think, but what is being said everywhere!

Freedom is when an individual can chose their path and can have a reasonable chance at making ends meet if they put in minimum effort. Some will succeed, some will fail, but they should not have to worry about a government that will extort half their earnings to be redistributed. The pie-in-the-sky totalitarian utopia you talk about is not freedom.

The government produces NOTHING, but it will consume EVERYTHING unless we keep it in check.

And what is Trump producing except economic opportunities for himself and those around him? And what about corporations paying their fair share instead of those CEOs worrying about where their fourth holiday home is coming from, or that next Porsche?

I don't see building roads and hospitals and infrastructure and earnings being distributed and being extortion. I call it civilisation and paying your fair share. You want to be free? Build your own roads. Be your own doctor. Grow your own food. Do EVERYTHING yourself. Make your own clothes. Run your own CLEAN water supply. If you can do ALL of that and then some, then that is true freedom. If you can't get used to the fact humans are collectivists. And no, collectivism isn't Communism, it's making sure everybody has a good life and not just the greedy few.

 

[Dr Grump]

What "rights" has he taken away?

Naming entertainment centres after himself with no consultation. Renaming military institutions back to those who fought in the confederacy (you know, the team that were in favour of slavery), trying to get Kimmel cancelled because his ego couldn't handle criticism; weaponising the justice system to go after personal and political enemies. They guy is the very definition of a tyrant. And you guys love him, but are the first to rant on about freedoms and lack of govt oversight. You couldn't make this shit up.

You had a right to NOT have entertainmentt centres named after someone you didn't like?

OK. So, what you are saying is that when you lefties say, "he took rights away", you are just talking shit.

As I suspected. Really, as we all knew. But thanks for confirming it.

Sure, you can get an endless number of trump haters with their hair on fire who will swear that trump iis a sworn enemy of the Constitution

But they are full of it

We have become far too deferential to the unelected and tenured federal judges

The district courts are deplorable

They are imposing their personal opinions over policy that is usually not supported at the next level

And in my opinion when they are overturned they should be removed from the bench

"endless" number? That, in and of itself, should be a warning sign. In our entire history of this nation, has ANY person been hated by so many people?

Have you even possibly considered that they may be RIGHT in hating him?

Oh, and by the way, are you saying that all browsers are also giving biased-against-Trump information? Has data, statistics, and facts loss their value? to be replaced by believing one already-diagnosed narcissist with a PROVEN track record of failures, and of being a liar?

My gawd man, will you ever wake up to reality?

The internet is not the whole nation

And its not 1955

We have far more radical people who were a bit crazy before trump and will still be radical after trump is gone

Trump does have personal warts so I’m not accusing every trump skeptic of being nuts

But plenty of them are and they flock to the internet

 

[Luckyone]

The internet is not the whole nation

Hahaha.......

Internet, Broadband Fact Sheet​

Nov 20, 2025 — Today, 96% of U.S. adults say they use the internet.

And its not 1955

????

We have far more radical people who were a bit crazy before trump and will still be radical after trump is gone

Radical people? Trump earns top spot for radicalism!!!

AI Overview

Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes the President's powers as Executive, Commander-in-Chief, Chief Diplomat, and Head of State, granting authority over enforcing laws, making treaties (with Senate approval), appointing officials, granting pardons, and recommending legislation, but it also limits these desires through checks and balances, requiring Senate consent, congressional oversight, and the "take Care" clause, meaning presidents pursue their goals within these constitutional boundaries, sometimes testing their limits (like President Trump's claims of "unlimited" power)
.

But plenty of them are and they flock to the internet

I did say for you to pick a browser (of your choosing) and put that question to it.

Browsers are created and maintained by high tech libs who typically hate trump as much as you do

And reflect the bias of their creators

Dont put 100% faith in what they tell you

So, who should I put faith in, Trump?

You are really blind. Just about everyone (at least 97%) of the people who are NOT of the Trump cult, criticize him. Why do you not believe them and believe Trump? I truly would like you to explain that to me! Or even, why do you not do the research into the data, statistics and facts? They have a way of telling you what is real and what is not!

and by the way, I don't believe anyone just because they say so. I do the investigating needed to determine what is true or false. Trump supporters (including yourself) can NEVER prove their points (they simply "believe" they are true). In addition, I have lived a full life with many painful and difficult obstacles/problems to overcome and solve, as well as my being a salesman for a good part of my life and as such, meeting face to face with thousands of people and in so doing, evaluating them and their words and actions, which has allowed me to have a fair amount of knowledge of who people truly are.

On top of that, I have a high IQ and have gained a lot of KNOWLEDGE throughout my life, meaning that I do not need anyone to tell me anything. I have LEARNED the truth of things myself (no one telling me anything).

wake up, you are living in a fantasy world! Reality is that Trump is a conman! He lies for his benefit.

 

[Mac-7]

Just about everyone (at least 97%) of the people who are NOT of the Trump cult, criticize him. Why do you not believe them and believe Trump?

Thats all the 97% do is criticize

And its often for trivial things like his hair or a pot belly

Or they call him a dictator which he isnt

As for who to believe, him or the media, trump is right mote often than they are

Making America Great Again, requires it to be considered a being successful in the economy, in health care, in helping its citizens overcome problems and in generating new growth and opportunity, none of which is happening.

As far as Trump understanding what people are saying, let me say that people in general think only of themselves and as such, do not use their minds for the benefit of the nation. In addition, "yes" he understands that and USES it for his OWN benefit (manipulates them). How does that help you?


Here is an established Republican hero who was also president, telling you that tariffs are bad........in the long run. You didn't listen to him?




Yes and no. Yes, many Americans are dependent on government subsidies but "no" because the reason for that is that the Rich have been ALLOWED to run without limitations and they have taken full advantage of that, to the point that the 15% of the population cannot even pay their bills even if they have 2 or 3 jobs a day.

AI Overview


The question asks for a specific, combined percentage which is not available as a single statistic in the provided search results. However, data indicates that
many who work multiple jobs still face significant financial insecurity.

• Multiple Job Holders: Approximately 5.7% of employed Americans work multiple jobs.
• Struggling Financially: Of those with multiple jobs, more than half (53% to 69%) do so out of necessity to cover basic expenses or need additional income. One report indicates that 65% of multi-job holders are still living paycheck to paycheck.

Overall, millions of Americans work multiple jobs, and a substantial majority of these individuals continue to struggle to make ends meet.


You are 100% right here. Here is an AI response to what is happening with the SPX leading the market right now: “One of the biggest contrasts this year has been the widening gap between Main Street and Wall Street. Wage growth has cooled (the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s tracker is around 4% lately), sentiment has slid (the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index is at 53.6 in October, down from 70.5 a year ago), while S&P 500 earnings and margins have marched higher (blended net margin is about 12.9% in Q3, above the five-year average). Hence the cliché: Markets are not the economy”.

In addition, market growth has been mainly because of AI and those companies in the industry (AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, NVDA, MSFT) and do not reflect what the overall economy is doing.


Free? Under Trump's oligarchy where it is always "his way or the highway"?

Why are all Trump supporters so blind?

The last time I looked this was America and in America not many were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. You get out of life what you put into life. If you are lazy, uneducated, and don't want anything but misery in their life it's easy. Making yourself dependent is easy. Stats are worthless and are used by ones looking for the easy way out. Stop crying poor mouth, wipe away those tears, get off your butt, and better yourself. Trump supporters are not blind. They have just figured out about life sooner than you.
