Guess we’ll have to wait and see how the market does in years 7/8 of Trump’s presidency. Since we KNOW how Obama’s last two years went.JohnStOnge wrote:Hey, I have a little bit of perspective for you guys. I decided to just check out how the Dow Jones Industrial Average has done to this point of Trump's tenure as compared to the same point in the tenure of the first terms of the last two Democrat Presidents.
When Bill Clinton took office in January, 1993, the Dow was at 3,242.00. On May 16, 1995 it closed at 4,435.05. That's a 37% increase.
When Barrack Obama took office in January, 2009, the Dow was at 7,949.09. On May 16, 2011, it closed at 12,548.37. That's a 58% increase.
When Donald Trump took office in January, 2017, the Dow was at 19,732.40. It closed today at 25,862.68. That's 31% increase.
So, no, we are not enjoying unprecedented stock market gains under Trump in the terms (percent growth) that matter. If you'd have invested in a DJIA index fund on the day Obama took office you'd have gained substantially more by 2 years and 4 months later than you would have gained as of today if you'd have done it on the day Trump took office.
What about the Dow from election day to May 16 for each?JohnStOnge wrote:Hey, I have a little bit of perspective for you guys.

John you have a habit of timing/selecting the parameters of your research so that the results fit your narrative.

None of you have been fiscal conservatives and it's time to pay the piper.
I'm certainly not going to let you continue stealing from not just my generation, but my children's.
You come from a generation of thieves and commies, redistributing wealth from the future to you.

Yet, among the same respondents who said all that, 57 percent said they disapprove of Trump's job performance vs. 38 percent who said they approve. Also, 54% said they will definitely NOT vote for Trump next time vs. only 31 percent who said that they definitely WILL vote for him.The nation’s economy is “excellent,” 22 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac
University National Poll today, the highest “excellent” rating for the economy. Another 49
percent of voters say the economy is “good.” The total 71 percent for “excellent” and “good” is
the highest total number for American voter attitudes on the economy in almost 18 years.

Just imagine what it's going to be like if the best thing for the country happens and the next downturn that is inevitably going to happen starts happening about a year from now.

**** off.
Again, it's not about the country failing. There are cycles. There will be ups and downs. I'm rooting for the next inevitable down to come at a time that maximizes the likelihood of getting rid of Trump. That would be the best thing.Ivytalk wrote:Beat me to it.AZGrizFan wrote:

I wan the country to succeed. And getting rid of Trump would be a success. Wouldn't eliminate the failure represented by having Trump end up as President in the first place. But it'd at least be correcting the mistake.
Rex Tillerson, a man who is 'dumb as a rock' and totally ill prepared and ill equipped to be Secretary of State, made up a story (he got fired) that I was out-prepared by Vladimir Putin at a meeting in Hamburg, Germany. I don't think Putin would agree. Look how the U.S. is doing!"

You're right. You're rooting for a recession to surely harm millions of Americans, just so the guy YOU don't like isn't president anymore. A guy who has taken this country to rarified air with respect to employment, minority employment, GDP, stock market, wage growth, business & consumer confidence, etc., etc. Let's root for HIM to fail just so he doesn't get reelected.JohnStOnge wrote:Again, it's not about the country failing.

If Trump is re-elected, two years max.
Matalin and Carville actually respect each other and keep their different politics out of the limelight. I actually think that Carville is one of the funniest leftish commentators around.
