    The left wing is losing badly to the Trump economy. All of their mantras of "Trump is stupid or senile or a liar" and all of the rest of the crap they throw like a bunch of screeching monkeys isn't sticking very well and is starting to rebound as the economy continues to skyrocket.

    The DJ has grown more than 40% , the GDP could hit 4%, unemployment is at a 45 year low, good old fashioned Nationalism is making a strong come back.

    Meanwhile, the Democrats have decided to draw the line with their total support for illegal aliens that is reminiscent of the Obama "red line" against Syria that ended up making the USA look foolish. If the Democrats can ever grow a pair and stick to the government shutdown, they will do Trumps job for him and prove that they care more about criminal invaders than they care for the American people.

    Meanwhile the lemmings will continue their squawking and squealing as they throw their petty tantrums at Trump and his supporters.

    My Bernie Bro friend says the same thing, credits Trump for it, and then calls him the obligatory “racist, stupid, sexist, etc.”

    These people are not well mentally.

    You realize that the gains in your 401k are not real until you sell. A future recession could easily wipe out all the current gains and more.

    Oh, wait, that's exactly what happened after our last attempt of supply side policies and tax cuts. The Dow rose for a few years, but ended at a lower value than it started under GWB. Do you think Trump could repeat this same feat?

    It's be nice if the tax cuts hit the people before these midterms.

    As a positive, it's mostly Democrats in the Senate who are up for re-election. They need a landslide to retain their position.

    They do. The tax rates will be applied to the W4 schedule and the increase in take home pay starts showing up next month.

    I always love it when republicans point to the Dow as evidence of a republican presidents economic brilliance.

    The dow is little more than an indication of how enthusiastic businesses are about the profitability of the US market. It typically rises after a republican president is elected before he even has an opportunity to make any decisions regarding the economy.

    It's a measure of how businesses regard Trump, in part. But the Dow doesn't translate into good things for American workers. Profits are typically reinvested into growth or paid to shareholders long before employees see a benefit.

    The idea that take home pay will increase is particularly laughable.

    The market gained greatly during the 8 years so if you didn't make much, then you had lousy 401k administrators.

    Well then I will send you my PayPal address so you can send me your laughable amount. I am looking at around $400 a month extra.

    You want my increased c take home pay courtesy of President Trump, it's all yours. It's a nice round figure.

    Wow - we need a wet dream alert here.

    I'm in awe at the level of perfidy exhibited by this post. Trump has the economy on steroids and nonsense is spouting nonsense.

    Wow - two plus two = seventeen, or maybe 9 or maybe some other arbitrary number Quantum can't figure out.

    Obama couldn't do the job - and it was all Bushes fault - and the Dow could tank tomorrow - but it won't.

    This one has obviously missed the inherent dangers of nationalism. This why anyone who isn’t a nationalist is a true patriot. Nationalism is fake patriotism.

    Everything that has happened in the economy has gone as I expected it would. One thing has been revealed though. There is a weakness in these businesses that has been unveiled. The idea you needed a tax cut to give bonuses is bogus, the idea you couldn’t create full time jobs in a regulatory state is bogus, the idea you couldn’t give raises before the tax cut is bogus. These businesses and furthermore conglomerates that waited to do this until there were some sort of tax reform was achieved is indeed pathetic. They simply didn’t need a tax break to create more jobs, they simply needed to adapt. Apple adding 20,000 jobs could easily have been done under Obama.

    That's right, he's injected the US economy with a drug used by fake ****s to bulk up and look manly.
