Trump garglers that claim the economy is doing well because of Trump are idiots. Demotards who want to blame Trump for the falling market are equally delusional idiots. The real reason that markets rise and fall is because the bubbles that the Fed creates. Artificially inflate the market... kick the can down the road. The bubble only gets bigger.

End the Fed! Bring back sound money and the gold backed dollar. Let’s end the government manipulation of currency for their own benefit.


This is patently false and a stupid narrative that gets peddled around by the uneducated or uninformed. A president can have a good deal of influence on market performance through monetary policy, tax policy, and simply by degree of leadership. Anyone old enough to remember the difference between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan will confirm. Reagan drug us out of the doldrums with a fiscal policy that changed the direction of the whole economy - so this story you're telling is demonstrably false.

Sure, market corrections happen regardless who's in office, but the way a president reacts and leads can have a tempering effect or it can lead to increased volatility in markets. So far, president Lardass has done nothing to soothe the markets. Do you think blaming Democrats for a virus is something that instills confidence in his leadership?

Quit making excuses for this jackass, man. He's a [Bleeeeep!] dope. Simple as that.
