Be thankful for what Trump has done for you!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Our lovely President has taken the time to make sure we are all thankful for him taking credit for Obama's work.

At what point do we stop attributing an economy to a President's predecessor? If the economy crashed by the end of the year, would that be Obama's crashed economy or Trump's?

In my opinion, the economy doesn't entirely belong to any single President because it's far too complex for that. Sure, radical policy choices, war, or issues abroad may significantly influence it, but so far Trump has, aside from cutting some regulations, maintained the same economy Obama helped to create and manage - for better or worse.

A few months ago, when the unemployment rate came out, I read tweets saying it's usually one full year before the predecessor's effect wears off.  I don't know how true this is, but you are right that more or less, Trump has not done much when it comes to the economy.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

I am certain that Trump will be equally diligent in claiming personal responsibility when/if the economy tanks on his watch.

Not.

I am thankful that there exists at least enough restraint that I do not need to endure daily tweets about how he made the sun come up, and what a nice sun it is. (I fully expect him to take credit for the end of winter, though.)

Trump is Lord!

[BlueSwan]

The current job growth is just a continuation of the trend since 2009.



Trump has done nothing to change the trajectory.

Of course for republicans everything is different. Obama was preciding over the "slowest recovery in history", while Trump claimed that true unemployment was above 20% in 2016.

One actual reason to be thankful for Trump is that he has provided quite a bit of fodder for smart, liberal comedians.

Here if my "thank you" to trump ...

[Mr. Smith]

I'm thankful that he's likely brought us a return of Congress, made a bunch of Safe R seats merely Lean R this year, and ensured that Obamacare is largely here to stay, with the Overton Window shifting to single-payer and general Universal healthcare.

Look at the stock market. The jump started in November 2016. Trump also cut regulations and the market expects him to cut taxes eventually, as well. If tax cuts appear to be falling through, expectations will get worse and growth will slow down.

It's probably an oversimplification but I'd say at least until that president starts passing legislation. They way I look at it, the only reason the economy is continuing as it is, is exactly because nothing Trump has done has had a direct effect on it yet.

Which greatness? The world is laughing as us because we have an incomptenent fool in charge, who even can't pass legislation with a GOP congress. Ahh, right, I forgot about the economywhich is the result of the policies of Trump... Barack Obama.

Greatness? In debased politics? In a President who lies frequently and without reason for doing so? In public figures being grilled for corruption?

The only semblance of greatness in Trump's America is best described as a delusion of grandeur.

Yes, I am a hater. I expressed fulminating hatred toward two recently-deceased villains. One was Salvatore Riina, a mobster (Sicilian Mafia) who ended up assassinating judges, prosecutors, and police. The other was Charles Manson. That was in another Forum. "Roast in Hell" language seemed fit for those two. 

[Rookie Yinzer]

I'm thankful we are one year down in this dumpster fire of a presidency.

[Young Conservative]

Trump's elected definitely boosted the stock market and policies of deregulation definitely spurred more job growth. Saying he's had no effect is absurd. Most of this is nateak recovery (that was delayed by Presidwbt Obama's policies.)

Uh huh. The stocks have been rising since Obama's election. Also a few regulation cuts will have little-to-no effect on the economy. Trump is, essentially, doing nothing, allowing Obama's policies to continue to strengthen the economy, and then take the credit to please his base. That's it.

Watch out! I see the much-dreaded triple top in which the second and third peaks are not as high as the first.

Triple top and triple bottom are reversal chart patterns used in the technical analysis of stocks, commodities, currencies, and other assets.

Great sighting on the triple top. If only your eyes saw the years so that you could tell us what actually happens next.

Oh, that's right, it's up over 2,000 points since that time to the point that the y axis is not very clear about which index it is tracking! (I am not giving political attribution to this: our last two outstanding presidents have both done an amazing job for us here. I am merely pointing out The Stupid of people desperate to score)

Newfound? Greatness?

Where? What? How? What the f*** are you talking about?

 Basically it seems to me that you are wearing your Florida Republican party Blazer proud and you get promoted to some higher-level internship, but get to wear your red laces at night with eye winking support from the president himself.
