The trump recession may be here

Markets are where they were 20 months ago. And we’re about to get to celebrate 26,000. Again.

We already celebrated it. The low on the day is 25,978 before creeping back up.

Might get to break it several times today. Nobody’s ever broke through 26k like Trump has. Winning.

Glad I pulled my 401k a week ago when the writing was on the wall.

Trump recession? I thought it was the Tory recession.

“John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, said: “Today’s dismal economic figures are a direct result of Tory incompetence. The Tories’ Brexit bungling, including Boris Johnson now taking us towards no-deal, is breaking the economy.””

Or…it could be where we are in the business cycle.

That or somehow blame obama.

I put money in my account during Obama and it consistently grew like good money should.

I put money in my account during Trump and it grew a little real quick, then bounced around like a drunk terrier for the past year. I used to play with some retail financial toys but that’s not even fun anymore when Trump’s throwing out wild card tweets.

I used to at least be able to recognize and understand people that said they hated trump but supported him because of their retirement or the stock market. But we’re past that making sense, and unless you and your buddies are planning on building a new lead smelter in a national park or writing payday loans, there’s nothing else for you in the plan. Now we just have a maniac rolling bones on twitter.

Good grief man. Are you seriously trying to equate people answering that absurd hypothetical poll to that of people praying for a recession? I guess the OP of that thread accomplished the desired goal. Good job Doug. Really, really good job! :+1:

That poll is all the proof I need. Case closed.

Lamer than lame poll.

I don’t know anybody who wants a recession.

They are praying! PRAYING!!!

That’s the problem. Not enough thoughts and prayers. No wonder the economy is crashing. Between the Republicans spending like drunken sailors and Trump waging his idiotic trade war, the BIGGEST drain on the economy is the lack of worship of the giant cheeto stained resident in the White House behind it all. If only more people blindly worshipped Mango Mussolini without question, everything would be awesome. And when the annoying Orange loses next year, whoever the Democrats throw up will be the reason, because our fat president doesn’t lose elections unless they’re rigged.

Indeed. The only caveat I’ll offer is that I believe the man will be re-elected. We are now a Reality TV society. A modern version of the Roman Empire, when Gladiator battles reigned supreme for entertainment. Apathetic idiocy has replaced astute intellect. Lunacy now substitutes for logic. Welcome to the Idiocracy!

Settle down guys. The tax cuts just need one more year to kick in. Plus, trade wars are easy to win. And we are building the wall!

Perhaps, but I’m still optimistic the loons supporting his re-election at this point are in the minority.

I think they ARE in the minority. However, I also believe the Democrats are completely incapable and incompetent. And will fail to turnout the necessary voters in the necessary areas needed to defeat him. He will win again by a plurality, being in the minority, and not by a majority, which does not exist. I hope I am wrong. Sincerely.

Oh yea.

Obama was definitely an outlier. Well spoken, sane, young, mature, inspiring. Cant say that about any current Dem candidates. I think Buttigieg could be good, but I’m not sure about his depth considering his light political background - buy hey if Trump can do it. Most everyone is either a little nutty or ■■■■■■

I was talking about Mayor Pete, and many other Democratic nominees this weekend with my family. They all have issues.

Let’s face it, if Mayor Pete were taller, older, didn’t look like Alfred E. Neuman, and wasn’t gay, he would be the next President of the United States. But in this current society of Idiocracy, those things will all disqualify him.

Each of the Democratic candidates have some sort of blemish (or multiple) like this that will be held against them, as they will be held to an exponentially higher standard than Trump.

If you answered “Yes” you’re an honest but still despicable liberal.

If you answered “no” you’re either a morally upstanding Trump supporter or an evil lying backstabbing despicable liberal.

:rofl::joy:
