Many voters did have crystal balls, and he still won. It must suck to be you, dumbass.
It’s sad to give Trump credit for partially fixing the shit storm he created.
What is pathetic is your inability to comprehend what is said. And that wasn't it
The only time the markets shoot up is when Trump folds on his stupid trade war.
The Stock Market Was One of Trump’s Favorite Talking Points. Not Lately.
During his first term, President Trump regularly took credit for a booming stock market, citing soaring share prices as a measure of his success in office.
And after his election victory in November, he pointed to the market rise as a sign of optimism.
But since his inauguration in January, Mr. Trump has been relatively muted about stocks, even after the S&P 500 hit a record on Feb. 19.
The S&P 500 has since fallen almost every day, and the index is now lower than it was when Mr. Trump took office on Jan. 20.
Other indexes, including those more closely tied to the ebb and flow of the economy, have also fallen.
On Friday, the S&P 500 surged higher late in the day but remained lower for the week, its second consecutive week of losses for the first time since October. Other bullish reflections of Mr. Trump’s election have also faded, with Bitcoin tumbling roughly 20 percent over the past month.

Trump says a transition period for the economy is likely: ‘You can’t really watch the stock market’
President Donald Trump and other senior White House officials have spent the past several days bracing Americans for a potential economic slowdown that they say will then lead to stronger growth ahead.
With fears brewing over the potential tariff impact, the labor market slowing and indicators pointed toward possible negative growth in the first quarter, the president and his top lieutenants are projecting a mostly optimistic outlook tempered with warnings about near-term churning.
“There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big,” Trump said Sunday on the Fox News show “Sunday Morning Futures.” “We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing. ... It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us.”
Asked whether he thinks a recession is imminent, Trump said, “I hate to predict things like that.” He later added, “Look, we’re going to have disruption, but we’re OK with that.”
Who are the "we're OK with that" in his dismissal of the unfolding calamity? I suppose the oligarchs he surrounded himself with are. I'm sure he is, if for no other reason than not admitting a mistake.
I guess my question is, if trump ran on, "we are going to intentionally cause a lot of economic pain," and not, "I am going to fix everything on day one (even though he's breaking everything)," would he have won?
I realize the board's minions would vote for him no matter what. How about the undecideds who made the difference in the election? They voted for price reductions, not constant chaos.
How much will the gain be?
Things don’t happen overnight.
"we have no idea"
When someone starts their house on fire, is there anyone standing around saying that there might be possible gains?
Shucks. You had a chance to make an argument and decided to go with memes.
From you - that is a compliment - thank you
Looking back, I still would vote for Trump. If the so-called Democrats had won, they would have gouged even more money from the taxpayers and spent even more money that the government doesn't actually have, thus putting us even deeper in debt and incurred even higher inflation.The Stock Market Was One of Trump’s Favorite Talking Points.

1. Reciprocal/fair tariffs is not setting a house on fire, its fixing a long-standing problem.

Profound IRONY.
Anecdotes are only going to serve for confirmation bias. How many more companies are freezing because they don’t know what’s going to happen due to all the chaos? You dont know and unless you do, anecdotes are meaningless.1. Reciprocal/fair tariffs is not setting a house on fire, its fixing a long-standing problem.
2. The problem is that too much manufacturing was. moved overseas.
3. Tariffs are already fixing the problem, many corporations are on-shoring supply chains to avoid the tariffs.
