Trump's embarrassing split-screen moment on stocks

Ryan was boasting about a $1.50/week raise that a secretary received:



Paul Ryan deletes tweet about tax cuts after Twitter backlash - CNNPolitics

The full article that Ryan linked had some other points in it:

Ryan really should have found a better fluff article...

WTF is wrong with Paul Ryan? No, seriously....seriously what is wrong with him? I was so enthralled by him in 2012 when Romney picked him. I supported him all through up until the end of last year. Now I'm done with him. Done. He needs to go. Maybe Trump will send his minion Sarah Palin back to Wisconsin to campaign against him like she did in 2016.

I applaud any good economic news. Like how Barry, as you say, fixed bushes economic blunder and got us economically solid again. Then handed that off to trump who I know he's doing the usual republican thing of creating a massive bubble for someone else to clean up.

Solid again? How he managed to limbo under the low bar he set is hard to do.

What the **** are you talking about?

Some woman getting a $1.50/week raise is meaningless. It's new "let them eat cake crumbs" levels of cluelessness.

There's no reason to let that distract us from the 83% rise in federal budget deficits along with the massive multi-trillion-dollar tax cut where 84% of it goes to the super rich.

If i had ten cents for every President Trump supporter eager to shoot themselves in the foot, i'd be a god damn millionaire.

You're good at cherrypicking, I wonder what other useless skill you possess. I'm sure I'll find out soon.

Is it really cherrypicking to point out outstanding examples of bull**** in a sea of it?

Someone sarcastically said something along the lines of "oooo, this $1.50 a week increase will pay for my costco membership in a year!".

And Paul Ryan tweeted about it as if it was someone ACTUALLY being content with an extra $1.50/week.

People are ridiculing Paul Ryan.

And I think rightly so.

80% of companies reported larger profits than anticipated. Wages are way up. Unemployment is way down. Black unemployment is historically down. The GDP for the first quarter is trending to 5%.

Holy crap, dude. Open your eyes. LOL

The stock market and the economy are two entirely different things. This is not that big of a deal by percentage, and in fact, is a perfect opportunity to make money. These are the times when millionaires become billionaires overnight.

Yes. We know. Most people know that. Trump does not. That's whats funny. He's claiming the stock market gains are his doing. People have been saying he shouldn't do that for months because when it goes down he will have to answer for it. But he keeps on. Not to mention the vast majority of Americans don't own a single stock so why should they care.

On another note, I wonder why trading wasn't halted.


Oh and now is a time to buy.

Not quite yet. The market is in a correction, which should amount to about a 10% loss, since analysts are estimating an approximate 10% overvaluation of the market. A week or 2 from now would be the right time to buy. If you want to risk a little bit, you might make some money during the roller coaster ride this week. Buy low and sell high. Some people will make a bundle, and some people will lose a lot of money trying to do that, but nobody will lose their shirts. It might be the biggest point loss in history, but in terms of percent loss, it doesn't even crack the top 20.
