why did you even post that was just daft seriously
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.

When the fed is raising interests rates higher and faster than they need to be, that will happen.
One last spiteful play by the deep state.
You do realize that the 'deep state' would be hurt more by governmental economic turmoil, than the POTUS?
It's like :
Would they be? We must be talking about two different deep states.

Clearly you never served in the military. It's more political than Washington D.C. We're talking about the M.I.C. It doesn't get any more political than that. So your previous statement is still wrong.
Clearly your thought process is warped if you equate being a soldier to being an elected politician. Even the Original Poster edited there initial comments based on this. People who get those two highly disparate occupations confused have zero credibility.

High Ranking Military personnel are involved in politics.
I meet with politicians regularly when I want to sell them our products therefore I'm in politics.

Sure you were General Lee Wrong. I'm sure when you got to such a high rank it must have been amazing to have walked in the footsteps of Grant and Eisenhower. Tell us again how it was for them.

Yeah, I was talking about the one that exists and draws its income from the government, that it works for. Your one just has 'magic money' that comes out of nowhere and props them up while the government burns.

Sorry sweetie, not a lefty.
You made an incorrect statement and you were corrected.
Stating that Taylor, Grant and Eisenhower were not in politics before they were President is factually correct. You claiming you know what transpires at the flag level is wholly incorrect and demonstrably false.

No more than the weak ass argument regarding Grant, Taylor and Eisenhower that you two are making. It's okay, you'll get over being wrong. Or not.
