    Whether we like him or hate him, this is true.

    I live through many presidents in my lifetime and I don't think there is another president who was under constant attack like this president, everyday, on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC the attacks on him are relentless.

    it's called reporting the news. In any case, I don't want the thread moved back to politics section once more. Everyone's set in their ways, no matter how wrong they are.

    Reporting the news should be 50/50 positive negative. Fake news is 99% negative. That is called attack.

    Perhaps you will never change. But everybody is not set. People are leaving the dems sinking ship in droves. #walkaway #blexit.

    I welcome this. Already donated my limit to the trump campaign. This allows me to shed lights on how I read things, which in trading terms has translated to a few million in profits. And hopefully this will generate some additional votes.

    Is that US dollars or Trump dollars?

    there is so much enthusiasm out there... fundraising numbers going thru the roof... he's gonna have 4x the 2016 money, with the incumbent advantage.... if you can't read this, you might as well give up trading yesterday lol....

    What scares me about this rhetoric is it implicates Trump as some sort of God King By Manifest Destiny. A rejection of Trump is not a rejection of success. He determines very little in the day-to-day of the country.

    We should be worried more so about our congresscritters, and the fact that a 1:300,000 ratio of congresscritter to constituent is unsustainable, and they cannot possible represent the will of the country. We should be worried that the electoral college system necessarily disadvantages highly populated areas in favor of battleground states with significantly less population. This goes double for our presidential election. We should be worried lobbyists control a disproportionate amount of political influence via Citizens United and its ilk. Does a 51/49 split between Trump and Hillary really represent a victory for either party? I don't think so. To me it signals confusion, and rejection of both candidates as potentially good leaders. The entire system need to be overhauled. There's no reason we cannot have direct democracy. The way you are talking in this post about Trump is frankly quite frightening. I'd suggest you evaluate the way our election system works and ask yourself if he truly represents the God King you suppose he is.

    perhaps my tones sound very positive about Trump because I happen to like him a lot... but others need not to regard him like God King... I am simply suggesting give the other side of the coin a test... don't emerge yourself in 99% negative.... try the red pill, see if everything makes more sense when you take in some positives... confirmation bias is quite dangerous thing.

    so the Dems lost and they want to change the rules? the US being a federal republic, there are reasons for the college... but even with direct democracy, it won't matter for 2020 in the short term based on fundraising and online spending numbers.... 2020 will come around soon enough... I am suggesting that people look at both sides and reconsider... because it certainly will affect your trading account balance lol.... can't trade well if the read of the world macro and hence the bias is completely wrong.

    Hillary went through 1 billion dollars in campaign donations, how'd that work out for her?

    take a play from the GOP playbook for once.

    Again, I think we're far off the "recession" topic of the thread.

    lol you have the logic backwards... he won with $600m in 2016, he'll likely hit $2-3b for 2020, what's the likely outcome? it's getting to the point that the TDS is clouding your reasoning.. and this is what I meant by saying TDS is very bad for trading.

    I don't know what you meant by GOP playbook... but certainly the GOP is no saint... Trump is not your typical GOP though.

    You just seem out of touch with the reality that Trump is going to lose the election completely on merit and it seems highly unlikely he can come back from the disaster that his Presidency first term. You also seem confused about the connection between the President and stock market performance. He's trying his best to take down markets with his absurd trade policies.

    TDS isn't real, it's bs that Trump supporters post because they can't discuss politics or related issues in a rationale fashion. There is so much to dislike about Trump on a very human, real level. You can't shut that down with infantile slogans and bs.
