Sarcasm.

Trump was claiming an upturn in the economy even before he took office.

You can only bolster the confidence based upon PR for so long. Then reality hits home and everyone realizes that it has to do with actual sales, actual cost of goods and actual rates of manufacture.

Things have been good for a while, but do you expect that they will stay that way?

All the normal cyclical indicators are there and many pundits have predicted an economic crash happening in 2019, and one of the precursors of every other crash has been a preceding market overconfidence, which is what we are seeing now.

Not to mention how a government shutdown will affect things, just as there were the first indications of significant falls in stock values beginning 3rd December last year.

Currently, no-one really knows the actual full economic impact of the shutdown but the indicators aren't good.

Actually if Trump had walked in when Obama did, the recession and all the problems would have been solved in 2 years.

Was it Obama who said Manufacturing jobs were not coming back to America?

Yup Obama said that with all the force and sincerity he could muster 😊

Wasn’t that before he said “if you like your Dr you can keep your Dr”?

So a guy from an island the UK owns far away hopes that our markets will tank because of Trump.

Thank you so much for your input...

As for market cycles, we are between the 10.3 and the 10.8, so a correction is probably imminent.

Although Obama had the markets depressed for so long that it may just take a few more years.

I'm hoping for sooner more than later... I need one more good "buy low" in the stock market to retire.

So let's hope that the Democrats hold fast and it goes low soon.

You gotta educate yourself. The UK doesn't own New Zealand, we are a sovereign country in a commonwealth that doesn't include the UK.

We'e also not an island. As I pointed out in a previous thread & post, the realm of New Zealand includes more than 600 islands.

Nor do I want the US to fail economically. It would be a humanitarian disaster and would have repercussion even as far as our distant extents of the Earth.

My favorite achievements: exposing the MSM and the deep state far all to see...

But one of the genius things candidate Trump accomplished before he was elected and entered the Oval Office was identifying the colossal phoniness of the so-called mainstream media.

A Year of Spectacular Accomplishments for President Trump

According to David Prentice of The American Thinker, “we’ve experienced a miracle in our day that a lot of us thought we might never see again.”

• He has exposed the deep state to public view. And is just beginning.
• Exposed the national media for the leftist activism base it is.
• Exposed the Democratic Party as corrupt, issueless, and powerless.
• Exposed the fecklessness, and fraud of the GOP.
• Exposed the corruption of our bureaucracies by the Obama administration.
• He has successfully gone after ISIS, virtually driving them into the ground.
• He has acknowledged Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel.
• He has reset our alliance with Israel.
• He has put the United Nations on notice for their arrogant nonsense.
• He has and is exposing the national media for the leftist activism base it is.
• He has fought the self-tarnished media more effectively than any other.

Trump's Momentous First Year

I believe THIS was the Point.......

Due to President Trump’s pro-growth policies, real gross domestic product (GDP) growth exceeded 3 percent over the last four quarters.

Real GDP grew at annual rates of 3.4 percent in the third quarter of 2018 and 4.2 percent in the second quarter.

More than 5 million jobs have been created since President Trump’s election and the unemployment rate remains below 4 percent.

This is the eighth time this year that the unemployment rate has been below 4 percent.

Prior to this year, the unemployment rate had fallen below 4 percent only five times since 1970.

The unemployment rate for African Americans in May fell to 5.9 percent, which is the lowest rate on record.

Asian and Hispanic-American unemployment rates have reached record lows this year.

Initial weekly jobless claims have hit a nearly 50-year low under President Trump.

Under President Trump, job openings outnumber the unemployed for the first time on record.

Recently, more than two-thirds of Americans rated “now” as a good time to find a quality job, tying a record high in a poll by Gallup.

Americans are seeing more money in their pockets thanks to the booming economy.

In recent months, workers have seen their largest nominal year over year wage growth in nearly a decade.

In 2017, real median household income rose to a post-recession high.

President Trump’s policies are helping to lift Americans out of poverty.

African-American and Hispanic-American poverty rates reached record lows of 21.2 percent and 18.3 percent, respectively, in 2017.

Since the election, 4.6 million Americans have been lifted off of food stamps.

Consumer confidence has soared under President Trump, recently reaching an 18-year high.

President Trump is delivering on his promise to bring back American manufacturing.

The National Association of Manufacturers’ Outlook Index had the highest annual average in its history over the past year.

Manufacturing added 284,000 jobs in 2018, the most added in a year since 1997.

Small Business optimism jumped to a record high under President Trump, according to a survey by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).

The NFIB’s Small Business Optimism Index broke a 35-year record in August.

President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, ushering in the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in American history.

These tax cuts are delivering real results for American families and workers.

More than 6 million workers received tax cut bonuses and benefits.

More than 100 utility companies have announced lower rates.

President Trump is ensuring American workers receive the training and education they need to compete in today’s economy.

President Trump signed an executive order establishing the National Council for the American worker.

More than 185 companies and associations have signed our “Pledge to America’s Workers,” promising more than 6.4 million new training and career opportunities.

The President signed legislation that reauthorized the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, making more than $1 billion available for career education programs.

President Trump has prioritized the economic empowerment of women.

The women’s unemployment rate recently reached its lowest rate in 65 years.

The Small Business Administration lent approximately $500 million more in capital to women-owned businesses in 2017 compared to 2016.

The Administration helped launch the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative, which could leverage more than $1 billion to support women entrepreneurs.

And not ONE leftist never-trumper wants to acknowledge ONE of these points.

Funny that.

Trump’s accomplishments as President obviously pale in comparison to what hitlery would have accomplished. That’s what these morons believe.

Hopefully he gets impeached (he won’t, ever) and then Pence gets impeached (he won’t, ever) so that nAncy pElosi can be President and show us how it’s really done!

Right Libs?

Best President of your lifetimes, no competition at all. 2020 must be keeping you all up at night (I know it is)

No offense or ill-will meant toward Mr. chr0naut but I am convinced that the vast majority of people are completely out of touch with reality.

Most assume that the Donald Trump they see portrayed in the media is the real Mr. Trump when nothing could be any further from the truth.

The sooner we realize that the "news" is any thing BUT news the better...

The ‘news’ only manipulates the easily-manipulated. And if you’ve seen that poster before you’d know he’s one of the most easily-manipulated posters on ats.

That said, it’s definitely not ‘most’ people who assume the Mr Trump they see portrayed is the ‘real’ Mr Trump. It’s only the easily-manipulated minority.

And it’s not the ‘majority’ that are completely out of touch with reality, it’s just the easily-manipulated minority.

And because they’re most definitely a minority, the President will be serving two terms. That reality gets more and more guaranteed every single day now.

Augustus is right...soldiering is not an elected position.

But the military runs as a government agency.

a reply to: Breakthestreak

I've seen no evidence that says I'm wrong nor did you give me any reason to believe so.

Any particular reason you believe this is true?

Perhaps my version of reality and yours are not the same.

I'd love to believe what you do BTW, just not seeing it...

This is exactly right, not only that they knew he was leaving in 2015, but that his presidency had been kneecapped because republicans took control of the senate in 2015. So as of January 2015, he was done.

The economy did make an upturn after his election. Confidence began to soar.

All the normal cyclical indicators are there and many pundits have predicted an economic crash happening in 2019, and one of the precursors of every other crash has been a preceding market overconfidence, which is what we are seeing now.

We are nowhere near overconfidence. take a look. What this is, is the liberals trying to damage confidence in order to crash the economy. After-all, that's what they needed to win the presidency in both 1992 and 2008.

But look closely at that data, the current confidence level is about on par with where we were at the height of the financial crisis. Not only that, but confidence actually rose while the markets were selling off from september to the end of the year. How does that factor into your crash theory? Then you look at the crash confidence levels and we're right around 40%. Before the financial crisis it was 57%.

My advice, don't listen to the nay sayers and dooms dayers. Zero hedge has predicted a stock market crash every year since the financial crisis. Many others have done so too, in fact if you look at the beginning of any year you'll find many articles making these kinds of outrageous claims. Here's one from 2017:
Nob el Prize winner: Trump may send us into 1929 style crash
What really happened? Near 3% growth. Low unemployment. Stock market rally of ~30%. Wages rising.

The market wobbles a bit with consumer confidence but the truth is that it is actually about tangibles, Bricks & mortar, not fluff and vapor.

Hey that's a good point! Just think of how prosperous and modern America could be right now.

It looks like most posters to this thread only read the ECONOMIC achievements I copied/pasted in the Opening Post.

I understand that it's a lot to digest, but at some point, scan over the NON-economic achievements at the WhiteHouse.gov link. Trump's 2-year achievements are more numerous than what Ronald Reagan delivered over an 8 year time span!

Here it is again: www.whitehouse.gov...

Yep. The tangibles are great right now. The retail numbers from christmas knocked it out of the park. The job openings and growth within most sectors have been great. The only places that have fared poorly are FAANG and even those have seen a modest recovery. Industrials and energy have led the way on the recent recovery which are strong "real world" sectors.
