We get it. Good Vs Evil. Remember your Ten Commandments
Hi! 'CNN!' Only 'Eye's Wide Worry!' We See Is The 'Sleeper!' Which Is 'ClimateChange!' A 'Variable!' EveryBody Want's Not To See! Caution Call! 'AmigoDon!'
Sorry still no recession.
I’m sure all those average, blue collar worker trump supporters are really seeing their portfolios soar 🙄🙄🙄
The best economy in decades!!😂😂😂
World's biggest Ponzi.
The U.S. government's public debt is now more than $22 trillion the highest debt ever. The Treasury Department data comes as tax revenue has fallen and federal spending continues to rise. The debt level reflects a rise of more than $2 trillion from the day Trump took office.
MAGA
Yeah baby!!!
But why do Americans feel so poor?
Thank you president Trump!!!
Trump will stomp all over contenders. They can’t do anything to hurt him on the economy. He will win re-election. Get the Kleenex out. Liberals will have another crying spell.
Before we get too excited about this, we're still running trillion dollar annual deficits and total personal consumer debt is above 2008 levels.
It's a bubble and huge recession is on the way and working families are not only going to be bailing out the farmers who sold out their country but the banks again too
Tell the truth
Thank you president Trump. It’s been on a roll since the night he won Trumpbump
Like... It's good and all, but how exactly does this affect people? It's not like groceries, electricity, water or gas suddenly drop in prices... I mean, DAX is great, NASDAQ is great, but it doesn't feel any different from last year or the years before haha
Since July 2013. Thanks Obama for the great 3 years getting the economy back on track after GW left office & b4 Trump took office.
Thank you federal reserve for creating the biggest bubble in history and no way out it
Thanks, Obama!

That's all that repo,money our govt is flooding the market with. Let's see how this works moving forward. Every business cries about raising the minimum wage to 15.00 he and healthcare etc yet this great market hasn't improved the working Americans lives. Who's kidding who?
All the great minds at CNN can just suck on this.
This doesn't mean anything considering 70% of the population doesn't have money in the stock market
