Stocks pop as US-China tout trade progress

Reality and a lot of Trump supporters are like oil and vinegar.

See if you can get him to explain why Trump had to also poison the environment? Corporations know this is the time to make hay, when the tax payer is going to have to cover the costs of clean up after clean up, while they walk away with pure profit.

The reality continues that radicals like you will never admit when wrong and will never post data in context to support you claims because there is no such data. Want to explain to us all 6 of the top 10 most polluted states are in California which has the strictest EPA laws in the country? Is there anything that you aren't going to blame Trump for? Told you before and will again, states have EPA departments, Congress makes the laws, not the President

For those of you blaming Trump for the tariffs and claiming how they hurt Americans another nail in the liberal left wing ideology and coffin. this just goes to show how rumors, innuendo, and lack of economic and business sense is rampant in the supporters of the Democratic Party today. Trump's business savvy is on full display here

Sean Hannity use to boast about how well the stock market was doing just before the Great recession?(Hint)
 
JustHanging said:
Haha, Trump and America are going to get raped by the Chinese. Trump is desperate to conclude a deal with China for the 2020 elections, and China obviously knows it.

Trump isn't going to give a **** what he gives away, so long as China tells the world what a tough negotiator he is.

Trump has generated the best economic results in three years than any other President in history. You need a President that you can like regardless of the results generated. Are you better off today than 3 years ago?

The country would be better off without people who demonize those who disagree with them on policy -- people who view anyone who disagrees with them as the enemy, who must be eliminated.

When I was growing up, political bipartisanship meant something: it was an era in which Democrats and Republicans agreed on basic values and could cooperate across party lines. It was an era in which both Democrats and Republicans supported all kinds of things now associated only with liberals. It was an era in which basic policies of the New Deal were supported by both parties, as evident by Eisenhower stating, “should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

Where have Republicans gone off-the-rails? In 1956, the Republican platform stated, "we are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs—expansion of social security—broadened coverage in unemployment insurance —improved housing—and better health protection for all our people. We are determined that our government remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of our people."

Can you imagine Republicans in our government saying that today? Today, they ideologically disagree that the government should be involved at all with health protections, or anything that improves the wellbeing of Americans that would jeopardize precious tax-cuts.

No. I have had zero problems building wealth no matter who is in the White House. The president doesn't control the economy business does and the secret is this, the more humans that buy crap means more business and the population keeps growing so the amount of business now will be surpassed in the future no matter who is in office. But you may kneel and bob at the altar of cult worship all you like it is not against the law.

Trump is benefiting from the trajectory set by Obama and his policies. Growth is exactly the same as under Obama and unemployment is marking the same straight line. How can anyone credit Trump policies for any of that?

Here's the latest annual GDP growth. Notice how much better Trump does than Obama? Me neither.

Remember, Trump’s only major legislative accomplishment was a huge tax cut for corporations and the wealthy that was supposed to lead to a surge in investment. Instead, corporations bought back stock, and business investment has been falling. At the same time, his trade war was supposed to shrink the trade deficit and revive U.S. manufacturing. But the trade deficit has widened, and manufacturing output is shrinking.

The truth is that even economists who favored Trump’s tax cuts and tariffs are surprised by how badly they’re working out. The most commonly given explanation for these bad results is that Trumpian tariff policy is creating a lot of uncertainty, which is giving businesses a strong incentive to postpone any plans they might have for building new factories and adding jobs.

“After the ups and downs over the past two years that led to a partial deal, I’m not sure both countries have the stomach to get back into these issues with any urgency,” said Wendy Cutler, a veteran trade negotiator now at the Asia Society Policy Institute. “A phase one trade deal is a welcome step. But it looks like this deal will fall way short of the long-term fundamental changes in China’s trade regime that the administration laid out a couple of years ago.”

Equality, as the Chinese rep. said in your link. I understand Dems rooting against it, but they ridiculed Trump when he tore up NAFTA and said he could negotiate a better agreement, which he did.
 
Conservative said:
So you willing to give Trump credit IF this deal goes through? Wonder if others will apologize, doubt it, for their claims of how the tariffs have failed.

In order to do that we have to get rid of radicals who use social engineering to make people dependent thus creating career jobs. The states of California and NY along with most other Blue States are fiscal nightmares with total Democratic Control, massive dependence, high taxes, and the most social problems

Our gas taxes are ridiculous. We pay a dollar more per gallon than other states. They are continually raising fees and other taxes to pay for a bloated government.

Trump is doing no more or less than any other president regarding the economy. Should I get knee pads like yous to emote praise to our leaders? No thanks...

No one ever said the President controls the economy but he does set the tone and provide direct for Congress to react and they did, during Obama they bailed out unions, both teachers and auto, and when the stimulus failed he went on to ACA leaving us with the worst recovery in American history from a major recession. keep up with the personal insults and keep ignoring the actual verifiable results. Why don't you just post your address so taxpayers can send you help directly vs. giving it to bureaucrats first?

Uhm the debt is fueling the economy nothing surprising about putting the economy on the credit card yet what happens when it stops working and the debt is so massive it can't be paid back or it devours all the GDP when it goes negative?
When I was in school they taught civics yet that has nothing to do with voodoo economics..History, look at the other nations that went down the same path and you will see how they lost prominence by incurring massive debt. Look at the UK.. The central power in the US increased due to warfare and economic instability of capitalism without taxpayer money the system would have died and faded away many years ago and the wealthy elite that founded this nation would have seen their greedy intentions fade with history.

Exactly you pay for CARB gasoline, California reformulated gasoline to address the pollution problems and still have 6 of the top most polluted cities in the country. Liberalism is all about spending in the name of compassion yet never getting positive compassionate results. California is a fiscal disaster not having a GOP Legislature since the 60's and liberals get what they reap. There is a reason that areas of California are seeking to divide the state into three different states as they cannot combat the liberal ideology and taxpayer handouts going to LA, San Francisco, and San Diego

Again, you show total ignorance of what the President does, it was the Obama stimulus and ACA that gave us the worst recovery in U.S. history, it was the Trump elimination of Obama anti Growth EO's and tax cuts that led to the 6.5 million jobs, almost 3 trillion added to GDP, historic and record low u-6 and a 52% approval rating on the economy along with massive growth in African American support, unheard of in the past. Keep believing what the left tells you

Obama and Trump have ruled during the longest period in US history without a recession but be sure to kiss only one person's ass in the true meaning of partisanship. I prefer to kiss none.

You have no understanding of the economy, no idea what the four components are and are totally confused as to what is driving the economy today, it isn't gov't spending it is consumer spending. Study bea.gov and learn something.

Trump has generated 1.8 trillion dollars in tax revenues to fund his 1.47 trillion dollar discretionary spending budget so tell me how 1.8 trillion revenue to fud 1.5 trillion in spending creates the deficit? Keep buying the rhetoric and keep ignoring actual data

What a poor argument and total ignorance of data, it was gov't spending that was promoted by Obama and support for the public sector, it is consumer spending and promotion of the private sector fueling the economy now. You obviously have no understanding as to the difference.
