were through 2016, which was an increase over 2015

have health insurance

good one.

Worst performing major stock market in the world in US Dollar terms since his presidency began (the opposite of Obama) - despite the major tax cuts for corporations.

Sharply lower bond market resulting in downward pressure on real estate prices, and people's real discretionary spending.

thanks

is the coming real-estate debacle, a repeat of 2009-2010-2011 period.

after increasing in 2017.

Housing prices are increasing in the Miami area.

Before the prices collapsed, many locales experienced galloping prices, right up to the end.

Things which are common between previous real estate bubble and now.

> Prices are increasing faster than people's incomes.

> Many loans are being issued without adequate down payments and ability to make loan payments.

Add to to that rising mortgage rates.

I would not buy any housing right now except fixer-uppers at bargain price.

There was an article a few months ago that went into this... probably still true or even more true now...

And notice the stock market threads have all but disappeared around here.

Up again today

if France and Germany's stock markets beat out the US, it makes Trump look bad since they're kicking our asses (in Trumpian terminology)

And, one day of the market being up doesn't make for much bragging - if the economy was great, the market would be up far more for the year to date. Dow closed at 24,719 on 12/29/17. As I type this, it's at 24,809 this afternoon. That's basically flat for the year.

Just like his job growth numbers over his 16 months have been very good...

but not as good as Obama's last 16 months.

All because of trumps pronouncement on tarriffs and Amazon and the PO and on and on.

It's basically stuck in a range and not going anywhere.

Sad.

Dunkin Donuts just increased prices this past month

gas, rent, medical bills, mortgage rates, and grocery prices are all creeping up and picking up speed.

By Nov 2020 only housing & stocks & bonds will be lower.
Everything else will be higher.

but I couldn't find statistics for any year later than 2016.

i appreciate it

If he's still around in 2020, the media will still report every tweet and every word that he utters. The daily Trump scandal(s) will soon be forgotten when something new comes along the next day with that days daily scandal(s). Meanwhile, the Democratic nominee will have one or two mostly manufactured scandals to combat throughout the lengthy campaign and people will have forgotten most of Trump's 300 scandals in 2020 and weight those against the Democratic nominee's handful.

They are still lower than they were in 2014.

most of the time
