Happy August everyone!! Time flies! So I'm going to call it…

The healthy economy that trump inherited (and hasn't done anything to improve) has peaked.

By the end of 2019 we'll start to see a downturn.

We will be in a recession by the next election and trump will spin it one of two ways: blame it on the Fed for not doing enough [b]even[/b] with the rate cut yesterday OR 'the markets are scared of a Democratic win'...

When the Dow is up or down by 100 pts day after day, that is a flat line economy.

Impact of his idiotic Tariffs are sucking profits away. A lot of work has left China for Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam...but it didn’t come back to the USA.

Can you imagine if trump took office when Bush left? We would have headed to a deep recession. trump will tank this economy in areas that will hurt us long term.

Be proud, Republicans.

Yeah.........No....... Now I am no Trump lover.. Ask anyone. And a lot of what you said is absolutely correct. Economy flat, in spite of the continuing stimulus, so that interest rates are being dropped again. But Trumps tariff fetish is only a dot on the US economic dessert. The subsidies paid out to farms and manufacturers are what has made American made an uncompetitive label and that policy predates Trump.
Trump is just a symptom. Not the whole disease. But Yes. I would blame Republican style policies. Other nations dont like being ripped off, then being criticised for being unfair.
