    “The Trump Economy is setting records, and has a long way up to go….However, if anyone but me takes over in 2020 (I know the competition very well), there will be a Market Crash the likes of which has not been seen before! KEEP AMERICA GREAT,” Trump tweeted Saturday.

    Yes, and the earth will stop rotating and all crops will die...There will be famine and panic and murders and illegals running rampant through the streets... Blah freaking Blah...

    Get this through your really thick skull (which is oddly paired with your really thin skin) - NOBODY BELIEVES YOUR SWAG......

    The market fluctuates and the president, or change of president, affects it very little long term.... Even if it takes a medium dip, which I don't believe for a second, it's more than worth it to have long term stability....

    I also bet you Trump can only name 7-8 MAX of the Dem candidates... if he's given their first names...

    A question? Why does he think this scare mongering still works?? He fooled a lot of people in 2016, but even most of his base has to know these "predictions of doom" are crap...

    Given the multiple times he has caused market fluctuations there is a high probability that all we would hear from Wall Street is a fervent thank you if he lost

    Well honestly there's so many small fry out there I'm not sure *I* can name more than eight of them at the moment.

    He might have learned it from CNN.

    Trump is right. Name one Democrat candidate who would be good for the economy and why.

    The sad part is the mentality level of his base is such that they probably believe him. He's making it so they better vote for him or their lives will destruct.

    The mentality of the liberal base is that many of them voted for Trump because of Facebook ads.

    LMAO … the fat republican DOPE probably thought the market would crash if Dems won the midterms last year too.

    Instead, the Dow ROSE a whopping 545 points the day after Dems SMASHED the hapless repubbies last November.

    Professional money managers (like myself) know that having an actual adult (a.k.a. a DEM) in the White House is better for the market...

    There is no rationale to the rise of the stock market it is not based on corporate profits as it should be, most of it is fueled by corporate borrowing and stock buybacks with the borrowed money.The companies financial picture is deteriorated but the stock prices goes up because of a smaller float of shares.It's a con game.

    You must be joking.

    A 4-year-old child would immediately end the two trade wars that Trump started and the Dow would take 800 points in one day...

    Dude, we were losing the trade war, Trump challenged those countries and they’re changing their trade agreements with us.

    The Russians played “Red Brain Blue Brain”

    They flooded social Media

    https://www.wired.com/story/russia-ira-propaganda-senate-report/

    They used the research underpinning “Red Brain Blue Brain” to specifically target groups

    Flooded? 500 million tweets a day. Every day. Vs 10 million total over a 3 yr period.

    I'm not really that active on Twitter or any social media but I can tell you I was flooded 5 to 1 if not 10 to 1 with pro-hillary anti-trump stuff. It was impossible to log on without seeing anti Trump social media crap.

    The Russians did a good job.

    The never-Trumper resistance is at least matching the Russian and right wing media factories this time.

    If the messages are getting to the right people then it is effective

    Just look at how many were using the Pepe meme

    Dude, you believe everything Trump tells you.

    You will never stop Americans from buying Chinese, Indian or Sri Lankan products because they are.... cheaper.

    Even if Trump miraculously managed to restore trade balance with China - which is impossible for structural reasons - Americans would quickly turn to other cheap labor countries to buy their products.

    The only ones to blame for the US negative trade balance with China are.... American consumers.

    Even your beloved President has his MAGA hats made in China and buys them steel to build his buildings.

    Red brain blue brain? You mean Clinton’s billion plus dollar campaign either didn’t know this strategy or did know and they chose not to use it? The media absolutely hammered Trump 24/7, they called him a racist, misogynist, homophobic, and everything else they could think of. On the air CNN’s Chris Cuomo stated they did everything they could do to promote Clinton.

    Just more excuses from the left why Clinton lost a rigged election

    Cheap labor is one thing, that’s why Nike (who loves anthem kneelers) make their crap in foreign countries where they don’t have to deal with unions. What Trump is doing is trying to make the markets fair, he even said he doesn’t want ANY tariffs on anything traded worldwide.

    Well said. Just pray that his predictions will bring you a big fortune, and so bet all your savings on the stock market by selling short. If his predictions come true, reward him with your vote in 2024, otherwise you have to toss a lot of rotten eggs at him for taking you for a ride. :pray:

    I hear you but if 5 times or 10 times the messages are getting to the right people on the other side doesn't that at the very least offset, but most likely go even further.

    Like I said I receive multiple anti-trump posts but to be honest with you my mind it been made up not to vote for him or Hillary long before I fall I saw any garbage social media posts. Several dozen came from my cousin and she's not russian. So many that i had to hide her on facebook.

    Trump knows the market is gonna crash due to his actions, thus is trying to shift the blame already... sad!

    like Bush, Trump is praying it will happen after he is out of office, Bush did not get so lucky - Trump might get lucky as it took 8 years to see the effect of Bush, could take 8 to see the effects of Trump

    No I mean the research showing conservatives light up the Amygdala when considering political issues. The Amygdala is part of the “fight and flight” response.

    This is why there are so many “OMG! They are out to get us!” Posts from the right. Victimisation triggers responses from the Amygdala.
