DOW is down 878 points since Trump's policies went into effect in 2018

24719 on January 2nd 2018, the day his tax rates went into effect, the day most of his policy changes became law. His budget had been in effect for a mere 3 months.

That's the number he should be judged from, 24719. Until then, Obama's policies, tax rates, and budget were in effect.

was what it was on Oct 2, 2017 when his first budget went into effect.

So it is doing even worse considering he gained an economy that's trajectory was already rising upward.

not a person who blames or credits any prez for he market. Investors do what they want to do no matter what But in this case this prez is making his entire success on the market results, so he's telling everyone the market is going up (or down) because of his decisions. OK, you got it. The market is crashing because YOU FAILED!!

He LIES about it being "best ever" loudly and constantly to put the thought into the heads of his marks, er...supporters.
He then reinforces the lie directly and indirectly from all angles - friendly radio and TV hosts, craven zealots on his staff, sock-puppet Congress critters, idiot offspring and their whores, etc.

The pattern is ALWAYS the same.

1) Lie.
2) Amplify the first Lie.
3) Reinforce said Lie ad nausea.
4) NEVER retract.
5) Move on to next bigger Lie.
6) Lather.
7) Rinse.
8) Repeat.

Doesn't matter what the issue is, doesn't matter how fucking guilty the cock-sucking bastard is, doesn't matter how abjectly absurd the claim is at all...it is ALWAYS the same pattern. Over and over and over again...

Is Trump bad for the economy? What makes ANYONE ever believe a man who can bankrupt casinos (plural) has any financial or business sense at all? I kind of like my savants to be good at more than being a conman...

People out there who do not believe he should have been impeached are NEVER going to budge off of him...ever.

People have no clue there was weakness in the economy all of 2019.

2.3% growth with 1.5% CPI in 2019 means we had 0.8% growth that wasn't just an increase in prices. in 2018 it was about 0.7%.
