How much does $25 million buy Trump in the poll?

For the next year and a half we will hear from the mainstream media how Trump is behind everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in the polls. But, the polls don't elect presidents ... people do. And, I am thinking that Trump is on his way to a landslide re-election.

FIXED that for you.

TRUMP LOSES … AGAIN!

Senate blocks Saudi arms sales

Lyndsey Graham, who sided with Democrats, said: Now is not the time to do business as usual with Saudi Arabia I am also very concerned about the precedent these arms sales would set by having the administration go around legitimate concerns of the Congress.

It went up 7,000 points in 14 months and basically 0 points in the last 17 months.

I don't like when people say the market IS booming under Trump when it really WAS booming in his first year and has been flat for a year and a half since.

It is up about 50% since his election. No other way to describe it but to say it has been booming since he was elected. IT IS BOOMING!

DJIA was around 18,000 when Trump was elected.

DJIA is around 26,500 today.

26,500/18,000 is about 1.47. So, DJIA is up around 47% since Trump was elected. 50% seems like a reasonable round off.

You failed to mention that the SPY and NASDAQ near all time highs. The stock market isn't just the DOW.

Why thank that fool? You are claiming market gains made under evil Obama as Trump gains. That is just plain stupid.

Well, I'm not sure why you don't like it. Overall it IS true. It was booming under Obama too. A market can boom enough in one year where if it stays flat then for another year and a half that it is still considered booming, especially when talking about over a specific time period -- like in this case -- the time period of Trump in office.

He gets no credit for it as no President does, but it IS booming under his tenure so far.

In the last 18 months Trump's market has grown a whopping –0.4%. How is a negative percentage growth?

1) I am not claiming any gains as Trump's. Market gains and losses do not belong to Presidents. Indeed, Presidents generally have only a tiny effect on the market, if any at all.

2) I referenced election day for the obvious reason that this was the day that Sally referenced when she made her 50% claim (see bolded text above). Thus, when you asked; "Sally, please explain your 50% math." the ONLY reasonable date to use as a starting point was election day, 2016. How could you possibly have missed this?

3) While using election day for reference is debatable, it is certainly far more justified than using the arbitrary Jan, 2018 date that you mention.

The boom was the anticipation of the tax cuts.

It has been overall flat ever since.

Most of the downs since the peak have been caused by Trump announcing tariffs.

Most of the ups have been caused by Trump announcing delays or cancelling proposed tariffs.

Now they are trying to manipulate through rumors of interest rate cuts.

Trump = uncertainty which =scared markets and fear to invest and hire.

Fear to give raises when cost of goods may spike.

The forgotten man has been re-forgotten.

The Dow was about the same on election day 2016 as it was on Inauguration Day 2017.

On Inauguration Day, the Dow was at 19,827.25.

Today we are at 26,676 as of this moment.

I am a facts-oriented person, and the fact is that the market has boomed since Trump has been in office. He gets no credit for that, and I have no good feelings about it attached to him at all. It is just a fact that the market has boomed since he has been in office.

The Dow went up from 6500 to 19827.25 during Obama's tenure. Unemployment steadily dropped from October 2010 on. The economy and the stock market were on fire when Trump took over. Obama also does not get credit for it. It's just the natural turn of events that would have happened no matter who was President following that horrible Great Recession we were in...which started under George W. Bush...who also does not deserve any blame for it.

Market forces are too strong for any US President to affect it in any way long term.
