Nothing else to say - Americans are doing the talking!

I have never blamed Trump for the downturn, other than to blame him for hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths due to his handling of Covid. Those deaths did not affect inflation in any way

So then we can agree that Trump did a great job on the economy during his first term. If COVID is removed from the equation, it is really debatable. He is rocking the boat this term because it necessary to right the ship. My retirement portfolio is down about 3% at the moment YTD. My other investments are down a bit more because I am more aggressive there. Hardly time to panic. Things are going to get really good in the next few years. You will see.
 
I own all without any debt, period. My portfolio is extensive and built for the long haul, so we can survive this without any problem. People don't understand that shares are the promise of real money but not the money itself. Up or down, the number of shares remain the same until sold. Then that is real money.

No, he was able to keep the economy going up but that was due to the tax cuts, which by the way, that was actually accomplished by McConnell and the House and Senate where they had the majority. McConnell and the Republicans had wanted a tax cut for more than 10 years (before Trump was even in the picture). The only thing Trump did was sign the paper that was passed by Congress.

That is what kept the economy moving forward for the first 2 years. He did inherit a growing economy from Obama.

By the way, tax cuts help at the beginning but in the longer term they are damaging.
 
Did Larry Summers (Barack Obama's Chief Economic Advisor) not warn Joe Biden that pumping Trillions of dollars into stimulus programs as the economy was coming out of the Covid lock downs would be inflationary? I can show you him doing so if you'd like, Lucky!
Being a Monday morning quarterback is ridiculous. The nation was greatly suffering because of the pandemic, and under those situations wrong decisions can be made. Do I need to remind you that under Trump, they did past 2 "pumps" of the economy?

Biden was like a kid with his dad's credit card. He and his friends had fun for a while, but then the bill came due. That is kind of where we are now. Democrats are like kids who never learned. They were never held responsible for their economic immaturity, therefore, can't comprehend that the fix isn't always easy.
Neglecting to Treat Affluenza

If you really resent that instead of just blowing partisan bugles, you'd take away the Preppy Privilege of trust funds and inheritances. That would also solve our economic problems, with no pain at all to us commoners.

Tariffs are bad, eh?

Why then can other countries have tariffs on the US, but at the same time, it is bad for the US to have the exact same tariffs on them? In fact, democrat after democrat has said that the tariffs on the US are not fair, yet did nothing about it.

Where the hell is fairness in that little mess you and the democrats enjoy so much?

As for the economy, Trump has been in office for less than half a year, yet he is expected to fix an economy that has been put in place for over 4 years of Biden overnight? In fact, is an economy that is drowning in over $40 trillion in debt even salvageableng. at this point because the Leftist loons insist everything should be free?
Using a scalpel to correct a problem works better than using a chainsaw to chop off everything.

Tariffs are not bad or wrong but the way incompetent Trump is using them, is pure chaos
 
volatility is ALWAYS due to uncertainty. Uncertainty is never good for business or the economy. You need dependable supply and demand plus dependable taxes and trading, which causes volatility to go away.
Outrageous Fortunes Deserve Slings and Arrows

Yet you empower the high-rollers at the Wall Street casino because "they know how to handle what others can't." That is so typical of partisan excuses, applying it what an outsider is expected to do. Logically. all that proves is that the insiders belong on the outside, too. These lazy parasites must prove they aren't Easy-Money Artists by picking stocks that aren't affected by the mob-rule Dow.

Smug, Slippery, and Shallow Thinking

Typical college-level mental inferiority. A Mama's Boy who sucks his thumb in a Eweniversity classroom ends up with the brain-dead attitude that only facts matter. On the contrary, facts are like single words, with little value until they are connected to other words to make a thought.

Quoted data have no value except in the conclusions made from them. For example, a verified datum is that the majority of people die in hospitals. A typical Diploma Dumbo would conclued, if he had not been told otherwise by his mind-manager, that hospitals are the most dangerous places in the world.
 
Trump won re-election, meaning the Americans "spoke" their feelings and minds. It is Americans that decide who their leaders are going to be and "stay or leave".

Well, today we are seeing Americans change their minds
That is why the Media constantly trashes Trump. They understand the power of the press.
