If voters had a crystal ball would trump have won?

The Stock Market Was One of Trump’s Favorite Talking Points. Not Lately.​

During his first term, President Trump regularly took credit for a booming stock market, citing soaring share prices as a measure of his success in office.

And after his election victory in November, he pointed to the market rise as a sign of optimism.

But since his inauguration in January, Mr. Trump has been relatively muted about stocks, even after the S&P 500 hit a record on Feb. 19.

The S&P 500 has since fallen almost every day, and the index is now lower than it was when Mr. Trump took office on Jan. 20.

Other indexes, including those more closely tied to the ebb and flow of the economy, have also fallen.

On Friday, the S&P 500 surged higher late in the day but remained lower for the week, its second consecutive week of losses for the first time since October. Other bullish reflections of Mr. Trump’s election have also faded, with Bitcoin tumbling roughly 20 percent over the past month.

Trump says a transition period for the economy is likely: ‘You can’t really watch the stock market’​

President Donald Trump and other senior White House officials have spent the past several days bracing Americans for a potential economic slowdown that they say will then lead to stronger growth ahead.

With fears brewing over the potential tariff impact, the labor market slowing and indicators pointed toward possible negative growth in the first quarter, the president and his top lieutenants are projecting a mostly optimistic outlook tempered with warnings about near-term churning.

“There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big,” Trump said Sunday on the Fox News show “Sunday Morning Futures.” “We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing. ... It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us.”

Asked whether he thinks a recession is imminent, Trump said, “I hate to predict things like that.” He later added, “Look, we’re going to have disruption, but we’re OK with that.”

Who are the "we're OK with that" in his dismissal of the unfolding calamity? I suppose the oligarchs he surrounded himself with are. I'm sure he is, if for no other reason than not admitting a mistake.

I guess my question is, if trump ran on, "we are going to intentionally cause a lot of economic pain," and not, "I am going to fix everything on day one (even though he's breaking everything)," would he have won?

I realize the board's minions would vote for him no matter what. How about the undecideds who made the difference in the election? They voted for price reductions, not constant chaos.

He would have won all 50 States!

I don’t follow the stock market, but if I’d known the chaos his Presidency was ping to cause I would definitely have voted for Trump last November.

That depends. Is the crystal ball full of crap like Legacy media is?

Is it able to actually tell the American people the truth?

Elon Musk Is Officially $121 Billion Poorer Than His Peak—As Tesla Stock Erases Most All Of Its Election Rally​

​

Damn, well because of his actions, the USA is about 300 billion ahead and still climbing, so if you are keeping score, he is still ahead of the game-)

QUESTION------------->If a man/woman sacrifices BILLIONS in an effort to help fix his adopted country..............does that make him a PATRIOT? An undesirable that should go back from whence he came like the Left is trying to portray him? Or a fool for ever giving a sh** about our country, when he was a multi-multi-multi Billionaire, and one of, if not the RICHEST man in the world, who could have just gone along his merry way?

Interesting, isn't it, that both Trump and Musk have lost vast sums of money trying to fix our country for the regular person, and all the Left does is lambast them. Trump lost big money, Musk lost bigger money, and yet they care enough about our country, to still work for us!

Us loving that is NOT being in a cult, that is us being grateful! You Leftist a**holes should get a little humility, and at least acknowledge they are doing it for America, and NOT themselves!

Yeah, and then next year it will jump up 200 billion. The stock market is gay and boring.

 

[g5000]

The stock market is gay and boring.

Tell that to those who are watching their retirement nest eggs melting.

 

[Marener]

The stock market is gay and boring.

Are you a child?

 

[Godboy]

Tell that to those who are watching their retirement nest eggs melting.

It always bounces back after a few months. A year tops.

 

[Godboy]

Are you a child?

Yeah, im a Voodoo Child. I chop down mountains with the edge of my hand.

 

[MarcATL]

Hell no OP!

 

[Marener]

It always bounces back after a few months. A year tops.

Ha! No. Sometimes it takes 10 years. Like in the early 2000s.

Do you have investments?

 

[Godboy]

Ha! No. Sometimes it takes 10 years. Like in the early 2000s.

Do you have investments?

Everyone has investments, or virtually everyone. It didnt take 10 years, and the market was overvalued at that time, like it is now.

 

[Marener]

The market was “overvalued” because people had confidence in the economy, which Trump has destroyed.

No. Take AI for example. Those companies are waaaay overvalued right now and the bottom is going to fall out at some point.

So you think the market correction has nothing to do with Trump?
