What the hell does Bernie, or any other politician care? They are public employees, whose salaries and health-care plans are paid for with our taxes. (and pensions, too. Morons, all of them!)
July 6th 2018. WMT $85. Today $103. +20% AMZN $1,710 Today $1,864 +9% Maybe I just misunderstood you. When you said crushed, I thought you were saying crushed as in destroyed. Maybe you meant retailers were "crushing it", which means they were doing incredible under Trump.
No, you don't. Bernie had nothing to do with any prior runup, so he gets no credit for it. He gets dinged for opening his yap and tanking things. It takes a high level of stupid to focus what happened from square to square and not circle to circle in analyzing if Trump's good for the economy.
How hard is this? yes, Bernie caused a momentary dip, I even circled it for you. My point is Trump caused a dip with tariffs following his announcements and not a peep about his commie protectionism was heard that day.
Because net, net it was still up bigly under his watch. WMT up 23% during Obama's entire 8 years, wow robust. WMT up 48% during Trump's 30 months, and he should get slapped about tariff's.
OP's outrage isn't over NET, NET is it? Now imagine where we'd be without tariff nonsense that at the end of the day Trump's going to capitulate on because he'll need the market bump? Healthcare sector will take a dive if Bernie takes the nomination, much like it did with Hillary and her constant drug price fixing talks. And Amazon was up 2000% over the same Obama time period compared to a measly 58% under Trump Thanks Obama:
