This also showed that Americans have had enough of the democrat's past 3 years of charades and zero work.
The biggest losers last night were Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and the entire democratic party which is in total shambles.

Phuk Trump, get down in the dirt and shove his tubby ass and fat face into the mud.
The moron who sharpied up a weather map and wrote that pathetic love letter to Erdgodan deserves ZERO respect.
Gonna be fun watching him melt down over the next 11 months.

Not to mention the MSM is full DNC propaganda at this point.
But you act like dems are generally respectful? And trump should just roll over and take it?

For someone to not recognize this and to be a polar opposite of sheer hate, makes no sense and that tells me that something else is going on such as personal failures and no anger management.
We were down almost 100 points on the Dow on Monday and this morning from the corona virus scare and we have made it all back today and partly because of the positive economic outlook and containment of the virus.
Easy math. So, I just feel sorry for people like Sillie, because he has other problems in his life and his posts illustrate his anger at the world. Sad.

Unemployment by year. Now who deserves credit and who rode the wave? Data as of January:
2009 7.8
2010 9.8
2011 9.1
2012 8.3
2013 8.0
2014 6.6
2015 5.7
2016 4.9
2017 4.7
2018 4.1
2019 4.0
So Obama reduced it from a high of 9.8 to 4.7. Trump has reduced it from 4.7 to 4.0
LMFAO!!!
But yea, the economy sucked pre-Trump and he took over a disaster. Phuking lying POS.

The President in the video wasn't displaying disrespect as you and the far leftists desperately try to accuse him of each and every day.
So, keep doing what you're doing, because that's what you will always be

^^I don't think the President in general gets much credit or blame for economic expansion and contraction cycles and its pointless to argue about it. Both Dems and Repubs claim credit and cast blame the same, depending on who is in office.
Bush did some good things at the beginning of the crisis, so did Obama, but in general it took the Fed pumping trillions of new dollars into the economy and bottoming out rates.

Obama's first few years in office were obviously encumbered by a near total collapse of our financial systems, not his fault. BUT, it had so significantly depressed all the economic numbers that after you bail out the banks with BILLIONS, reduce interest rates to ZERO and inject BILLIONS if not TRILLIONS of liquidity into the markets through the unprecedented QE that they did you're guaranteed to see the trend reversal. Many of those measures were taken by the Fed which is not any of Obama's actions or initiatives.
So yes, the unprecedented steps the Fed took to pull us out from the worst recession since the great depression did bring us the mean reversion back to the norm. However, if you look at the Obama economy more in depth you'd realize that given these tremendous steps the recovery was anemic, we never saw real wage growth, RE continued to stagnate, business investment never returned, and GDP remained sub 2% when Obama's economy finally cleared the remnants of the crisis. Jamie Dimon whose opinion I respect greatly on the state of the economy has been on record multiple times stating just how poorly the economic recovery had gone and how stifled it truly was.
I think it's rather telling that you look at these unemployment numbers and try to derive your argument when you might not even grasp the most basic level of their context. Unemployment is a key metric and it's the metric most easily understood by the common person, but it's far from the economic health indicator that you and many others look to it for. You'll need a more holistic view of the economy taking in other data points to put the unemployment numbers in their proper context.
Anyways, I feel like I've wasted my time trying to dumb this all down for you. It's an exercise in futility.

You are looking at a broken woman, compliments of Donald J. Trump.

Obama's first few years in office were obviously encumbered by a near total collapse of our financial systems, not his fault. BUT, it had so significantly depressed all the economic numbers that after you bail out the banks with BILLIONS, reduce interest rates to ZERO and inject BILLIONS if not TRILLIONS of liquidity into the markets through the unprecedented QE that they did you're guaranteed to see the trend reversal. Many of those measures were taken by the Fed which is not any of Obama's actions or initiatives.
So yes, the unprecedented steps the Fed took to pull us out from the worst recession since the great depression did bring us the mean reversion back to the norm. However, if you look at the Obama economy more in depth you'd realize that given these tremendous steps the recovery was anemic, we never saw real wage growth, RE continued to stagnate, business investment never returned, and GDP remained sub 2% when Obama's economy finally cleared the remnants of the crisis. Jamie Dimon whose opinion I respect greatly on the state of the economy has been on record multiple times stating just how poorly the economic recovery had gone and how stifled it truly was.
I think it's rather telling that you look at these unemployment numbers and try to derive your argument when you might not even grasp the most basic level of their context. Unemployment is a key metric and it's the metric most easily understood by the common person, but it's far from the economic health indicator that you and many others look to it for. You'll need a more holistic view of the economy taking in other data points to put the unemployment numbers in their proper context.
Anyways, I feel like I've wasted my time trying to dumb this all down for you. It's an exercise in futility.

Trump acting like a 5th grader with ADD showing complete disrespect is AOK with those who follow Trump.
