When you have financial experts reacting like this and heaping such praise on our current economy, the 2020 election prospects for democrats aren't looking too good.

If this keeps up, forget about alleging obstruction, bribery or a quid pro quo... The democrats are going to need to find a dead man buried in the basement of the White House wearing a MAGA hat with a Mar-a-Lago room key in his pocket to defeat him in 2020.

The fact that Trump is riding the coattails of a great economy, yet can't move past 44% approval, and continues to cost Republican across the country elections, really speaks volumes about how bad Trump is at his job as presidency, and his bottomless stupidity.

We shouldn't be seeing Democrats win across the suburbs, or flip governorships from Republicans, and we damn sure shouldn't see support for impeachment at 50%.

Can Trump win? Damn straight. But, his numbers in the suburbs, with independents, across swing states, college educated whites, and general public opinion suggests he's an underdog, which is incredible given the economic environment we're in right now.

Of course, what should we expect from a person that's bankrupted themselves as much as he has?

Always Trumpers would still ask for a confession... or an indictment.

I can't speak for Trump fans, but personally as a conservative I won't support or defend anyone who's been proven to be a criminal or proven to be a corrupt politician. I don't give a damn what their party affiliation is.

"the 2020 election prospects for democrats aren't looking too good. "
Hence the move to impeachment.

The Democrats and the leftists, although I repeat myself needlessly, have been predicting, wishing, trying to instigate a recession since before Trump was inaugurated. Too bad the electorate is simply not obeying their Democratic leftist masters. :lamo

Typical.

IMO it actually speaks volumes at the effectiveness of the special interest propaganda machine of the MSM. When people only hear doom and gloom they tend to assume it must be true.

Whenever the economy seems to be tanking (i.e. when the market numbers dropped significantly) then it's Trump's "bad economy."

Yet whenever the economic indicators are glowing? Then he is "riding the coattails of the Obama Presidency." Three years into his own Presidency, and some people still claim it's Obama's Economy...again except when anything "negative" pops up. :roll:

IMO those few instances of drastic ups and downs we've seen from time to time used to declare "a recession is coming" are due to market manipulator's trying to affect the political situation. But despite their manipulation, the signs are so positive that investors still rally over and over.

Some financial expert...

"...Cramer recommended investing in Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Lehman Brothers before the stocks fell in value significantly.[44] On August 8, 2008, before the climax of the financial crisis of 2007-2008, Cramer recommended investing in bank stocks.[45]

An August 20, 2007 article in The Wall Street Journal stated that "his picks haven't beaten the market. Over the past two years, viewers holding Cramer's stocks would be up 12% while the Dow rose 22% and the S&P 500 16%."[46]

A February 9, 2009 article in The Wall Street Journal noted that betting against Cramer's Buy recommendations using short term options could yield 25% in a month.[47]...

Fox Business News took out ads in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, comparing Cramer's words to infamous quotes including Neville Chamberlain's famous statement after conceding Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler: "I believe it is peace for our time."[54]..."

Yet, you seem to trust the word of a hedgefund manager that admitted to manipulating the stock market....

Admission of market manipulation

In a December 2006 interview, Cramer described activities used by hedge fund managers to manipulate stock prices—some of debatable legality and others illegal. He described how he could push stocks higher or lower with as little as $5 million in capital when he was running his hedge fund. Cramer said, "A lot of times when I was short at my hedge fund ... When I was positioned short—meaning I needed it down—I would create a level of activity beforehand that could drive the futures." He also encouraged hedge funds to engage in this type of activity because it is "a very quick way to make money."[33]

Cramer stated that everything he did was legal, but that illegal activity is common in the hedge fund industry as well. He also stated that some hedge fund managers spread false rumors to drive a stock down: "What's important when you are in that hedge-fund mode is to not do anything remotely truthful because the truth is so against your view, that it's important to create a new truth, to develop a fiction."[34]

Cramer described a variety of tactics that hedge fund managers use to affect a stock's price. Cramer said that one strategy to keep a stock price down is to spread false rumors to reporters he described as "the Pisanis of the world," in reference to CNBC correspondent Bob Pisani, who Cramer insinuated was able to be manipulated, saying "You have to use these guys." He also discussed giving information to "the bozo reporter from The Wall Street Journal" to get an article published.[35][36] Cramer said this practice, although illegal, is easy to do "because the SEC doesn't understand it."[37] During the interview Cramer referred to himself as a "banking-class hero."[38]..."

If that isn't corruption then what is?

How does Trump's charity and university fraud figure into that equation?

I suppose one could argue that corruption occurred before he became a politician but that sounds like Trump supporter rationale.
