Tariff war with China is not a BS game. You are too ignorant and have no clue on how the economy works. What is BS is you liberals giving other liberals like Obama a pass on spending $10 trillion during his 8 years and I do not hear you clowns complaining about it?
Obama ran up $10 trillion during his 8 years so, where were you during then? Funny, liberals suddenly, become deficit hawks when it suits their stupid narratives. You might want to have a consistent position to be atleast, credible? If deficits are so bad, it should also, be bad under a Democrat US President like Obama? You reek of hypocrisy. "Do as I say, not as I do."
I have not done the analysis but would an easy way to judge Trump is a comparison of SPX vs Stoxx 600 European index? And Further compare Obama's SPX vs Stoxx. Obviously it is all correlated BUT if the SPX accelerated in comparison to Stoxx during the Trump years then...credit should be given. It's difficult to conclude how successful trump has been, but if SPX significantly outperformed SToxx 600, then perhaps "some" credit or some alpha should be given to trump's policies. I still believe that Trump is pouring too much gasoline on the US economy and should reserve that ammunition for dicey times in the future....but what the hell do I know.
Europe a slightly different situation. But, the Nov-Dec 2016 spike after Trump's election is already enough evidence... The market was celebrating the incoming of Trump or the outgoing of Obama the community organizer. There is also the liberals' brain dead thinking that Obama had a big bull market since 2009.. a rebound is not a bull market. Obama told everyone to get used to 1% growth... he is clueless when it comes to business and economy. There is no 'gasoline' problem. Trump is right... cut the interest rates to the levels or ECB and JCB and we add 10000 points to the Dow.
I'm not good at charting this stuff... but it would be interesting to see these variables charted out to see. Or perhaps someone has a better idea of a comparable index. I feel Europe is appropriate to compare and view Trump's influence vs Obama's influence etc. Someone out there if you can post this, that would be great...I'm sure there are some expert chartists reading this. Thanks
Obama said one needed a magic want to bring back manufacturing jobs. Trump brought back manufacturing. Obama said Trump will never be a president. Trump just did. Lowering taxes and regulations are good for the economy. So does lowering the interest rate. Keep it low.
Its interesting that all you seem to stand for is making another group of people unhappy. Says a lot about you. I hope Trump loses in 2020, but I certainly don't hope for you to be angry or hurt by it. There are a lot of depressing things Trump has unearthed in my fellow Americans, but one of the most depressing is this idea that a huge chunk of them care about "making the libs cry" more than they care about anything else. That's very sad to me.
