Donald Trump might be the dimmest President the US has ever had

He pathologically obsesses with being responsible for the highs it reached.

You're not fooling anyone.

Bwhahahahahaha... Obama was a dem who turned around the biggest economic collapse, caused by a republican of course, since the great depression where another dem turned around the biggest economic crash that of course was caused by republicans. All's trump's done thus far is what he's done all his life, ride the coat-tails of his successor and then tank it.

Obama also lead the slowest recovery since the Great Depression, and he handed the keys off to Trump which never should have happened, which would not have happened had he done a halfway decent job.

But he is lazy, he is a prick, and his alleged skills have rarely been seen in action.

You are going by averages. You are averaging in the two years it took to turn around the Republican Bush nose-diving economy of course. But don't let such reality sink your ever rising admiration of donald dump. Put all you have on that horse. He has the best words ya know.

No matter how you slice it Obama turned out to be a heart breaking failure.

And the New Chinese Empire is coming to clean our clocks.

We are long out of ****ing around time.

But how we refuse to reform.

BIG PAIN IS COMING!

His unseemly and unprecedented attempted interference in the FED's decisions on raising interest rates certainly qualify.... You do know that rising interest rates strongly effect the stock market or are you clueless about that also?

Don't be stupid. Trump hasn't attempted to interfere in the Fed's decisions. Speaking his mind is NOT interference. Stop thinking like a Russia fearmonger.

Yes. I saw exactly how the Fed raising rates...and hinting at raising them more...affect the stock market. It has dropped thousand of points because of the Fed. That's the way it goes with those speculators and their computers.

So tell me...what had Trump done to indicate he gives a rat's ass about the stock market?

Seems to be a rather silly metric.

What has he done to show he gives a rat's ass about...anything except himself?

Everything he's done shows that he cares a LOT about Main Street and American workers.

"Might be?" Where have you been, OP-er? Have you not been listening to that man for the past, what, three years? There's no doubt that he's the dimmest light in the presidential candelabra.

Sorry but you cannot act like this is normal behavior. A Presidents words matter and his attempts to influence the Fed are unseemly and unprecedented. BTW The DOW has dropped many 1000's more than that because of Trumps idiotic trade war. Not that you are any brighter than him either. Putin runs rings around you both and it shows.

"unprecedented"???

What do you think the bully pulpit is for? It's to influence things.

Anyway, you've gone from "attempted to interfere" to "attempts to influence".

Sucks when your nonsense gets slapped down, eh?

So you've got no real examples.

Thanks!

He is the homeless guy on the street corner holding a sign screaming "the end is near"...

I suspect he uses the library computer during his break.

Please stop the hyperbole. You are embarrassing yourself. You know Trump bragged about how great he has made the Stock market and now he has shut up and you are giving him cover, It is quite amusing.

President Trump, unlike his predecessors, bragged repeatedly about stocks as the market rose. Monday, he avoided the topic as they plunged.

During the bull market of the last year, Trump complained that the media weren’t giving him credit for record highs in securities values.

“I mean, it’s something that’s pretty amazing,” he said to a group of mayors last month, in characteristic remarks, citing an estimate of $8 trillion in added wealth.

He also has said that the market would have lost 50% of its value had Hillary Clinton won the election, a claim that he repeated publicly during a recent speech to global leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The assertion is impossible to prove or disprove.

Surely you know by now that mere facts can't penetrate the bubble. It takes a pronouncement from The Donald to do that. Or his acolytes Sean and Alex.
 
I find it interesting that people, mostly the left, say republican Presidents are stupid or dimwitted.

Reagan - Stupid and forgetful.

GWB - Stupid also and couldn't speak well.

Trump - Dimwitted, even though if this were true he wouldn't have been able to run his business.

Now when it comes to Democrats, they are though of as geniuses.

Clinton - He could do no wrong.

Obama - He was the smartest, best speaking and smoothest President we have ever had.

The story stays the same, only the characters change.

No he didn't. He only spouted off with rhetoric.

You should be looking at what he DOES. Has Trump actually done anything that indicates he gives a rat's ass about the stock market? I haven't seen it.

How do you tell the difference between the rhetoric and the honest statements? And why would anyone vote for a president whom they know is lying about what he cares about? Or did you only find out he was lying after he was elected and now need to find a way to save face?

Is it okay to pick and choose which mutually exclusive statements you believe and call the statements that don't support your agenda simple "rhetoric?" Is this indicative of a stable administration?
