d?
See I disagree - I see the Repub. electing fowl mouthed, racist people constantly - people under indictment and they don't care. Look at the constant insults in this forum that come from the Repubs.

Look at the hypocrisy coming out of the Repub. supporting everything Trump says (the changing of the platform not to criticize Russia) tariffs (how many soy beans did we sell to China in Nov and Dec.?), insulting our allies, the swooning over the stock market (remember how you were enjoying the increase in your 401K) yet now they've developed lock jaw over his causing the market to crater, the lack of concern over the deficit (and it is not the same to have a deficit when the economy sucks like when Obama was left the worse economy since the depression vs when Trump was left one cruising along). Also, the hypocrisy of the Right hating the government except when the Right needs $ to put food on their table. Don't forget the Right leaning states get far more in govern. $ back on average then they pay to the government. They gladly have their hand out yet complain about the government at the same time.

How has the market done, since he has been in office? And interesting that you only brought up the stock market, not GDP or unemployment.

And how do you know he caused this, as opposed to it being an organic correction, as those do happen sometimes, it's not always anyone's fault.

And interesting that you only brought up the stock market, not GDP or unemployment. all have continued with the same trend that was occuring prior to his being elected. Edit - the trend on the deficit sure changed.

Didn't you claim in the past that the stock was going up bc of Trump?

Apple decline was related to China and tarrifs - they said so. Trump claimed a tarriff war was easy to win. Didn't he even call himself Mr tarriff?
