So ball is in your court. Its simple back up your very specific claim of making tons of money. Guess what, your not, no surprise here. I am not surprised, lol. Cause you did not. If you dont want to show me, tell us the growth in a specific period and what funds you had them in and we can double check vs performance per fund in that period to see its feasible. Why would I vote againgst a person who is making me money ??? If you show me what you say is right I will vote for Trump. Put up or shut up.
Cherry picked? They were the actual S&P and DOW numbers as published by Forbes on 2/29/2020. It was a fair and honest comparison. Market performed well under Trump watch, it just performed better under Obama. Something R's are loathed to acknowledge.Quote:

They knew full well those contributions and PAC money was well spent. No question Wall st has a friend in Trump.
Again, the Trump affect started within 12 hours of the polls closing. That's not President Obama, that's Trump.Quote:

..... OK the markets tanked in anticipation of a Hillary win and rallied on news the polls got it all wrong. Correct?Quote:

Oh Trump definitely inherited a bull
And used it to create a ton of ****

No I am referring to the Trump, 2.5% during his first three years. That's well below the 4% Trump had promised.Quote:

I did not claim money wasn't made during Trump's term, I argued it was just less than under Obama, for which he receives little to no credit.
True, however way ahead of projections.Quote:

And you are right you did not, flimflammann did by saying he's lost 50K as has all his co-workers. That's not on the President, that's on him and them. I know of no one that hasn't made lots of money. I also don't know anyone over the age of 30 that doesn't have a retirement fund. (Just saying)
Brett prime example of the behavior I mentioned above. Lies, distortion and alternative facts go unchecked and unchallenged. The longer it goes on the more outlandish the tales become. His base eats it up and the GOP is complicit.

Trump says he saved 51 million jobs in pandemic. Economists, U.S. officials say otherwise
Lawrence Delevingne, Chris Prentice, Michelle Price, Jeff Mason
“Through the historic relief package that I signed into law, we saved over 50 million American jobs,” he said in the Aug. 15 remarks. Referring to his Democratic opponents, he said, “They don’t like these kind of numbers because they think it’ll hurt them in the election.”
The estimate that the $660 billion taxpayer-funded Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) saved some 51 million jobs has been trumpeted by the Republican Party, its Congressional leadership and the president’s reelection campaign. On Monday, Trump touted it again at a rally west of Charlotte, North Carolina, site of the Republican National Convention.
However, the PPP likely did not save 51 million jobs, or anywhere close to it, according to Reuters interviews with economists and an analysis of the program’s data. Half a dozen economists put the number of jobs saved by the initiative at only a fraction of 51 million – ranging between one million and 14 million.
“I don’t think there is an economist who would say that the program has saved 50 million jobs,” said Richard Prisinzano, who was a financial economist at the U.S. Department of the Treasury for 13 years before leaving in 2017. His rough estimate, Prisinzano said, is between five and seven million jobs saved, based on his own adjustments to other researchers’ work at MIT and elsewhere.

Dr, I’m not risky with my investments. But from 2012-2016 my returns were about 6%....2016-2020 the returns have been 26%. I didn’t even use 2008-2012 because the US was going through a recovery.Quote:

I’m not saying Obama years were atrocious just saying people who just put in simple monies in their 401K’s made out in the last 4 years compared to the Obama years. And with Biden and his policies your money goes to a crawl.
I’m not going to debate who more empathetic as that doesn’t make you money. I’m sorry, bills have to be paid and it has been easier under Trump’s watch than under Obama’s.

That is the problem with this country. And that problem just branches everywhere and including here.
People have their own opinions and they should never have to be in lockstep with others and then crucified or looked at differently because of their opinions are not aligned with theirs.
And I’m Not talking about debating on here. Thst his what this place is for to begin with.
Every side begins with the center. One goes left one goes right. Other night go further on both sides. The extremes on both sides is one
thing and people who live on the extreme probably hate the world to begin with. I’m
Throwing those out because they are obvious.
Cherry-picking is also easy to do if you have time to research. Every President can be cherry picked to death with all kinds of issues.
Peoples opinions need to be respected no matter what side they are on. Again, not talking extremes here. Both sides of extremes are bad IMO.
All I see in this Country is that we are in the middle of a movement. And it all goes to power grabs! The one who doesn’t have the power for a takeover will complain and protest about everything. And that is both sides.
The last huge movement besides the Civil rights movements in the 60s was the women movement. They wanted more power.
So again, all of the bickering in this Country is all about POWER and who has that authority to unleash that power.
It is all about the power grab!
And everybody who has an opinion is just on tentacles *****ing and moaning with the side that they want to win.
Currently I do not see a huge change in this Country for another 100 years. The voting population needs to change for a particular side to achieve their ultimate goal.
