President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Interesting to me ... the top six countries who spend the highest percent of their GDP on the military are all in the Middle East and North Africa:
Oman - 16.7 percent
Saudi Arabia - 10
Algeria - 6.7
Kuwait - 6.5
Israel - 5.8
UAE - 5.7

 

You all must have missed this story.

 

Dow Jones must've missed it too.

He's probably already in line for the parade.

 

Looks like we’re up a little bit this morning.

The recent correction was probably healthy and necessary.

Now that it’s out of the way, the market can begin climbing again.

I do get a kick out of how the Post described the correction though:

 

Yeah, you're right, we did miss it, but only because we follow @CNBC and those people never report any good news, as your pal noted earlier:

 

Economy was on the way up during the Obama administration? Illusion.

Economy continues its rise with Trump in office? It's all Trump.

Economy goes the wrong direction while Trump is in office? It's a good thing.

Don't y'all just love what passes for logic in YankeeFan's posts?

 

Eh, that was a silly tweet from Trump.

It’s counterinuitive, but it’s one of the first things you learn when trading. Good news sparks fears of inflation.

Long term it will be fine, but it always spooks the markets at first.

Do you have a point of demarcation where silly ends and ineptitude or worse begins? Or are all his flaws just silly?
