Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

What do you want me to say? Yes markets go up and down but no one knows when. The fact is the economy/market was a lot better when Trump took over than Obama.

Are you taking the position the economy was in worse shape when Trump took office than Obama?

No and that's precisely why Trump deserves credit, and Obama does not.

No not at all. What worries me a market top has high volatility. That doesn't mean every time we have market volatility there will be a correction.

If you believe Trump inherited a better economy than Obama then that means the economy improved under Obama. Weren't you in the opposite camp?

I never said it didn't improve under Obama, I said that it improved despite Obama, not because of Obama.

A liberal economist will be able to give ou a long explanation about why the rise under Obama is to his credit and the rise under Trump is also Obama's credit.

Did you read the article I posted? It's very simple, after a crash, the economy is bound to improve, there is only so much the president can do to stop it. The fact that the economy improved so slowly is because of Obama. Trump did not come in after a crash, so the fact the the economy went from slow growth to fast growth is because of trump. Had the stock market risen this fast after a crash under Trump, I would not be very impressed, the reason I am impressed is because it's after a long period of growth that it shot up.

Yes I read the article. I also watch Hannity. That doesn't mean I agree with them.

You give BO no credit but give Trump credit. Can you see why one would think your view is political? Especially when anyone in the right mind would want to come in when things are going good not crashing!!!

Is that your only answer? So it makes sense but you won't admit it because it sounds political?

I'm not understanding why this makes a difference.

The point is that you made everything subjective. There are a million different factors which can affect the markets some of which the president has no control over. Some were more in Obama's favor and some in Trump's favor. Some Obama policies both helped and hurt under Trump and some Bush policies both helped and hurt under Obama. You can't choose what helps Obama but not what helps Trump.

To say things will get better is meaningless. Did anyone know how long it would take to get out of the depression (1929)? Yes we hope things turn around but when? BO did a massive turnaround in 8 years. You give no credit and say it would have happened anyway. Were you saying that when he was elected, I think not?
I'm not understanding why this makes a difference.
Because it is harder to make things better when you are in a spiral downward. So my conclusion is your view is based on politics and not common sense.

How Chuck Schumer holds a big presser how he reached an amazing spending deal, while Nancy Pelosi is on the House floor for 8 hours screaming how bad the deal is...
