Deflect, deflect deflect. The only ones buying into it are his prehensile minions. BTW, the previous sentence was sarcasm. Just wanted some people to pull up the old dictionary.

Dead cat bounce markets will be down for this year and until trump is out of office

Yes we are seeing 600 plus gain today

Totally absurd. Mostly due to his unnecessary tariff war with China. Ask Apple about that. Trump inheritedthe best economy in the world from Obama. While Obama inherited one of the worst depressions ever from Bush. Dems fix the economy Republicans break it

The Democrats are stopping at nothing to destroy President Trump and if it takes destroying the economy they will do that as well. The Democrats taking the house is far worse than any trade war. Maxine Waters is now creating banking and finance regulation. Let that sink in.

The President is correct because the timing reflected investor sentiment of risk and uncertainty due to the harsh rhetoric coming from the newly installed House of Representatives ... China and recession fears (stoked by CNBC) were already mostly priced in...

So I guess the Dems get credit for the jobs numbers too then woohoo!

They have already called for a 70% tax rate on the wealthiest Americans. Want to know why stocks fell yesterday?

Look what happened 2007 2008 last time democrats took House

If he's this so-called businessman and he had several businesses to fail how can you blame another party for the mess you're causing this country? But then you have those believing his every word too.

Just like the TaxScam time bomb effects set up for after the midterms.... Anyone with a brain knows who's to blame

Laughable

Economy is strong because of people who did NOT vote for realDonaldTrump. Market sells off because of his dumb policies and idiotic behaviors such as trade war, bullying allies, irresponsible tax cut and that stupid wall.....

Down is the key word.

He's right, since the polls showing democrats winning the house came out in October the markets have lost 20%. Because a democrat controlled house means impeachment fiasco. And impeachment fiasco means recession.

So the Democrats made him impose his awful Trade War and put Jay Powell in there? Something like that.

Markets shot straight up the morning Trump was elected Prez. Markets began massive sell off right after Dems took control of th House.

Trump, with a history of making patently false statements, blames (without offering any evidence)...

Such a CON..............

What’s new ?

He's the commander and chief and the president of the United States and now you know he takes ownership of nothing bad that's what a poor leader does

Cool even thought that’s 100% horseshit, post this quote as a headline.
